  1. Shakatak - Night Birds

    Shakatak were well ahead of the game. This, their second album, came out in 1982, and is choc-full of every influence they could absorb from the burgeoning jazz-funk scene. So on the button were they that they had a handful of smash hit singles (three of them from this album) and so popular were they that everyone got sick of hearing them and moved on to other things and you'd never hear these tunes anywhere, apart from on the BBC radio station for old cunts, Radio 2.

    The Japanese fucking loved them though, and they've made a decent living there.

    This album's really good. I particularly love Keith Winter's guitar sound.

    I picked this up for something silly like 20c in the old Fishermans Warf Market in Port Adelaide - now the site of a brand new shiny and largely empty car park. UK edition. Mint.

    Also, the Wikipedia page has a photo of them live at the Capital Jazz Festival in 1982. I was there.

  2. I complained about the non-stop all-night robin singing outside my window getting on my nerves, and it seems he's gone...and been replaced by a mockingbird.

  6. Sky full of stars through the trees, Gauteng, South Africa. Bats whirling and scything through the night and the call of Hadida Ibises in the trees.

    (If anyone can help me identify the constellation, I’d be really grateful. It’s just next to Orion.)
