Thee Sacred Souls were simply magnificent on Tuesday night in Glasgow, stunning vocals and superb musicianship nailing that deep soul vibe. 🙌 I managed to take no photos, so here’s an original of perhaps their only cover version of the night. 💕 youtu.be/HWf_oB4a8Dk @theesacredsouls.bsky.social

Divine Tune Of The Day! David Crosby "Laughing" (1971) "If I Could Only Remember My Name" is never out my Top Ten - "Laughing" is the jewel in the crown. The harmonies and pedal steel are stunning, but Joni Mitchell's out-of-nowhere vocals slay every single time. www.youtube.com/watch?v=WyxK...

One of my record collector pal's partner is a keen knitter. And knitters buy tons of wool from charity shops etc. They have a term SABLE (Stash Acquisition Beyond Life Expectancy) describing the scenario where you own more wool than you can knit in your lifetime. The same applies to records... 🤓

Divine Tune Of The Day! VITAL DISORDERS "Zombie" (1982) If a female-fronted DIY post-punk band covering Fela Kuti didn't already exist, Optimo would have needed to invent it! Superb funk-punk groove out of Norwich - bonus points for having a vocalist named Tina Pilchards. youtu.be/CEpGDhf9Iqc

Etta James & Sugar Pie DeSanto ‘Do I Make Myself Clear’ very much reminds me of zinging about the black and white checkered dance floor of the Vic Bar at GSA on Divine Saturday nights. Good times.

Divine Tune Of The Day! NASHVILLE RHYTHM SECTION "I Can't Go For That" (1981) Country-funk Hall & Oates cover - banjos, pedal steel, harmonica and tight drums. Cheesy but great - sounded ace up loud on Friday night! 🧀 www.youtube.com/watch?v=qJrb...

Divine Tune Of The Day! JOHNNY JENKINS "I Walk On Guilded Splinters" (1970) Magnificent Dr John cover, which I suspect Beck might have heard at some point - killer drum break, awesome slide guitar, fantastic vocal. ❤️ www.youtube.com/watch?v=AxYQ...

In the run up to the December Divine, I might as well mention my Mixcloud channel - there's nearly 60 DJ sets up there: all my 3-hour lockdown mixes, Industry Of Magic And Light launch, deep soul, library, jazz, Anniversary CD mixes etc. Hours of quality... IMHO. 😍 www.mixcloud.com/andrewdivine/

This is one of the most honest and ego-free interviews about a person's experience of discovering, and then making, music in Glasgow in the late 1970s/early 1980s. Essential reading. strawberryswitchblade.net/jill-bryson-...

Divine Tune Of The Day! Timmy Thomas "Why Can't We Live Together" (1972) Apparently it took just 15 minutes to record, primitive drum-machine, sparse funky keyboard, incredible vocal and a message sadly still more relevant than ever. STONE COLD CLASSIC! www.youtube.com/watch?v=cFU-...
