  1. I’m sitting here listening to different versions of the jazz classic Giant Steps by John Coltrane. So far none of them come close to the original. I like the Courtney Pine version and even the Kenny Garrett rendition, but for some reason that original take from the titular album is a masterpiece. I am assuming the Tommy Flanagan rendition is his way of making himself feel better as he wasn’t happy with the original take.

  2. 1997 BBC charity single. Stars sing #LouReed's "Perfect Day".

    What does the video tell us? That the BBC probably has tape of #Bono, #DavidBowie, #SkyeEdwards (of #Morcheeba), #EltonJohn, #BurningSpear, #HeatherSmall, #TammyWynette, #EmmylouHarris, #ShaneMcGowan, #EvanDando, #CourtneyPine, #RobertCray, #ThomasAllen, #JoanArmatrading, #LaurieAnderson, #TomJones and #DrJohn, each singing the song all of the way through, and that it would make one hell of an album. #music
