It Starts With a Birthstone - 200 Albums for 2024 # 173 Loveblaster - The Way Things Work

 Thanks again to Darren Jones for his input and suggestions during a difficult year for him personally.  


It's Friday morning. Captain Ahab, (that's me land lubbers), is putting his feet up in the Captain's Comfy Chair on deck and sunning his forehead. First Mate Starbuck meanwhile is scrubbing the deck. 'Put your back into it Starbuck. Make those timbers gleam.'

A translation is probably in order. I am the Captain of this ship. But I'm eternally grateful for the work of Starbuck aka Darren Jones and the suggestions he throws my way on an increasingly regular basis. I suspect he's after a pay rise. Unfortunately this is beyond me.

Here's the latest. The Way Things Work, the latest from Loveblaster. A band that sound more like a duo in the tradition of where Gram and Emmylou and Paddy and  Wendy Smith from Prefab Sprout.come from.

Loveblaster are from Madison, Wisconson. That's all the biographical information you'll need for now except that you should listen to this fine, fine record. Like Paddy and Wendy at their best it seems they're aware of the way the actual heart ticks. What more could you want from a record. The weekend beckons.
