RIP, Phil "The Collector" Swern, BBC radio producer for six decades, the man behind Ken Bruce's "Popmaster" quiz, and famously the owner of every single that entered the charts since they began in 1952...
On this beautifully warm and sunny late summer day, it seems fitting, methinks, for a wallow in some of the "newer" music that has caught my ear of late...

Next, the return of not just one, but two house favourites!
This track apparently took four years to get finished! It's good, but what took so long?
To conclude, saving the best to last - when an unstoppable force meets an immovable object, this happens. Love it!
As ever, I welcome your thoughts, dear reader...
