People are all like “that ‘Bittersweet Symphony’ song was pretty good.” Meanwhile I’m listening to the best music Verve ever recorded. Such a monumental record! #shoegaze #theverve #nowlistening (at Austin, Texas) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cfrn_uou9dg/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

This is the record of Nick McCabe as it’s such a great guitar album. It’s Richard as he was better than Liam as a front man. I have seen The Verve many times and the last time they played Coachella, they played many of the brilliant songs from this awesome album , it may have been my favorite Verve show, the feedback on songs like #reprise #stormyclouds #anewdecade - this is British alternative psychedelia is perfection Enjoy (at Hollywood Hills) https://www.instagram.com/p/CfC7ylxJZGi/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
SONG OF THE WEEK “Avenue” (a demo) https://johnnyjblairsingeratlarge.bandcamp.com/track/avenue-demo A song written by Canadian singer-songwriter Mark Osachoff. He fronted an Ontario-based alt-pop band called Anthill. They made an excellent record and toured for a spell, opening for the likes of The Verve and Wilco. The song endeared itself to me and I hope to record a full band version of it someday. I asked Mark what the song was about and he replied, “Recovery from addiction. Recovery from the mess of compulsion and codependence. Restoring intimacy, love, and trust.”
