Is there anyone out there who doesn’t have a copy of the seminal psychedelic album, “Forever Changes” released first in 1967? Maybe it’s passed you by; if so, then this song should give you a flavour of what to expect with its gentle guitars, harmonies and orchestration…

I’ve taken a ridiculous time getting ready, changing in and out of clothes, staring at myself in the mirror, before getting a grip. Does it matter what I wear? Why not just be myself? Like I said I would be. And just what am I expecting – hoping? – to happen? In truth, I’ve stopped pining for her. Barely give her a thought.

Burn a Million Miles has not only been a playlist for me. But a compilation of some my life’s mongrel memoirs.
I’ve said it before the good the bad and the ugly…..
This weeks artist you all know and love – and many of you have probably travelled a similar roads of music discovery…
Ever grieved your own behavior? Ever been at a momentous point in your life and made the wrong decision – like, knowingly? I used to do shit like that – it was awful. Not only do you pay in the end but you get to hate yourself in the process – awesome!…
