Two new albums arriving in June from two of my favourite bands means I'm enjoying new music!

(Ok, this one came out last year but it's the leading single for the upcoming album)

We educated our young neighbours last night. Their daughter's name is Annie...

"Polk salad Annie,
The gators got your granny, chomp, chomp, chomp."

Just installed my new (bought 2 years ago and has been sitting there) Denon CEOL N12DAB receiver to replace a Marantz CR611 (2015). New unit has HEOS plus turntable and HDMI inputs. Been enjoying DLNA streams and some CDs plus Spotify Lossless audio for the arvo. Not bothered with Spotify before but it’s very good to my ears. Some lively Köln concert by Keith Jarrett, Jazz by Ry Cooder and more.

Very nice.

Think Denon has a warmer more detailed sound than tha Marantz and HDMI from TV is better than the older optical link and easier to control.

Ed: Just added some Ian Moss, Zappa and early Jethro Tull to the mix.
Spotify recommendations are interesting.

On the drive back to Clare from Burra, And the Band Played Waltzing Matilda was on the radio, got to be one of the best anti war songs ever, if not the best.
