One thousand years of 😳

From an early ninth-century manuscript (Basel, Universitätsbiblitohek, N I 1:3c, fol. 2r).

“A spirit! A ghost! You don’t mean it! Say you are only playing Christmas on me, Aunt Martha” - 'The Vicar's Ghost', Lucy Farmer (1890)

Christmas is a time to indulge in food, drink and tales of beyond the grave. Join me celebrating the holidays the old-fashioned way 📚🕯️#GothicAdvent

JIMMY SILVA
Remnants Of The Empty Set
1986 U.S. pressing

A glimmering batch of EXCELLENT #1980s #alternative #powerpop .

Jimmy had a weird career, and an even weirder life.

He was well-respected as a songwriter; which was evident in bands like The Smithereens and The Young Fresh Fellows covering his songs. However, Jimmy never really attained any significant success.
Perhaps if he was able to hang around a little longer, he could have had a slow burn ascent, & perhaps some late-career flowers.

Unfortunately, Jimmy died in 1994 at the age of 42 from…wait for it… complications from CHICKEN POX.

A VERY bizarre ending for a very talented singer/songwriter.

These songs are just fantastic. If I had to compare him to somebody, maybe there’s some Westerberg-ian traits there, as well as some Tommy Keene?

Regardless, just a phenomenal album of jangly and catchy songs.
