Jagwar Ma (iPhone autocorrect tried hard to change this, which is perfect given the way this group's name came in to being). High-end two channel system which makes the well-produced album that much better.

For all true classical/opera aficionados, what would have been your Romantic/Love inspired top pick for the No 1?

I don't know about #1 - it's too hard to choose - but Tchaikovsky's "Romeo and Juliet" overture gets me every time. It's just so perfect and self-contained.

Likewise with the "Leb wohl" (I think) from Wotan to Brunnhilde (not that kind of love, but still super intense).

KD or Jeff Buckley for best rendition?

k.d. for me, please. I never could stand the song until I heard her sing it. I have just about everything she's done.

Give this one a listen.

The S-Town Podcast. Horology and murder set in the Deep South. What's not to like!
Recommended by a jeweller friend, at Dinner the other night. I bored her to death talking about Vintage Speedmasters she told me about S-Town!

In the cheap seats at the cinema sometime in the 1960s, eating popcorn and waiting for the big looped curtains to rise and Pathe News to come on....

Saw her in concert shortly after Roy died. She did this and there was not a dry eye in the house.
