‘2017 Retro Pt.2’ and ‘2017 Retro eXtra’ tracklists
There is room to swing a dead cat, though I’m not one to take any pleasure from such an exercise were a deceased feline available. Kicking one more than a few inches would be a different kettle of fish – piles of Cds are gradually eating up the space around my feet, a half dozen shows worth, attesting to the neglect this blog has suffered over the past few months. Before I add any other age-old idioms to the mix, here are the tracklists for the first two programmes of this year, featuring more sonic highlights from 2017 and tributes to a few artists who left us….
