Ah havent heard Jack White in yonks... Thanks! And Motorhead - we are fans here, especially Jamie, because of the English/Somerset/Hawkwind thing.
Melbourne has two awesome alt radio stations I like to listen to as I do stuff. And I do love to potter and listen to reggae/dub/rock steady as you just can't be unhappy with that
But after living back with Dad these last two months, we have gone back to listening up music PURPOSEFULLY - especially the hours before tea when you're too tired for much else or are waiting to start tea. Fire on, a record or another form of music, staring out the window. So good. It's a really, really valid way to spend time.

I like Jack, he's weird. And he's not any less weird after a few decades doing this, which is rare. And Motorhead <3 as if I needed a reason to like you guys even more.
Reggae has been a revelation to be honest - really starting to appreciate the value of happier or more mellow listening to put you in a better mood.
It's an interesting way to connect with someone too. We keep treating music as this sort of background thing, think we need to talk over it or something. I remember an interview with Lemmy from Motorhead (either with or about, dunno) about how rude he thought it when he'd put on an album and his guests would just sort of start chatting over it. As if it was background noise.
Ah Lemmy so true. Dad makes me sit in front of the speakers and just LISTEN ever since I was a kid. Love it.
Reggae was a revelation to me as well. It wasn't that big here in Australia so when i met Jamie he introduced me to the whole scene. He has a ton of vinyl.
As well as house from the 90s and a heap of other random things. Currently, Santana Abraxas over brekky watching the parrots which is fucking fantastic must put phone down Now
