Tuesday Music Post ...

Mrs Smiffy has today bought the new Neil Diamond album "Home Before Dark" - Mr Diamond is a popular chap in Mrs Smiffy's family (sisters etc). Me - normally no ... HOWEVER ... always happy to listen to toons (I like to think broad minded when it comes to music) - within 45 seconds of the first track ("If I Don't See You Again"), I'm 'googling' Johnny Cash on the pc - don't know why - but I did ... and then it all fell into place .... "The Man Comes Around" - the version of NINs "Hurt" .... common denominator...

Rick Rubin

..and what were we listening to in the car coming back from Belper on Sunday ?? "Stadium Arcadium" by the Red Hot Chili Peppers - produced by ..... Rick Rubin.

Neil Diamond album - this old rocker says "It's worth a listen" - honest ... previously this last week or so I've been listening to "Crimson" by Alkaline Trio ... so there ... contrary to popular belief, there IS more to life than heavy metal - just ...........

"When the man comes around" has been a firm favourite in our 'ouse for a long long time, most of the album is excellent as is the previous. Aand probably the 30 before that!
