Ten Years Later, Gawk Still Feels Like a Secret Worth Sharing
Some albums arrive with enormous hype, dominate conversations for a year, and then slowly fade into nostalgia. Others take a different path. They grow quietly through word of mouth, build loyal communities, and continue attracting listeners long after their release. Vundabar's Gawk belongs firmly in the second category.

Songs Sequenced
Introduction I was listening to a "Best Of" Nils Lofgren, and one of the final songs is "Secrets In The Street", which I have always loved. Lofgren is a brilliant guitarist and songwriter who has played extensively with Bruce Springsteen.

Dandi Di Is Making Synth Pop His Own Way
Every music fan loves discovering an artist before everyone else catches on. You know the feeling. You stumble across a song, hit play out of curiosity, and before long you're clicking through the rest of the catalog wondering how you hadn't found them sooner.

The Is Jah Wobble
Introduction Apparently, Jah Wobble's stage name came because John Lydon could not pronounce the name John Wardle properly and slurred it into becoming Jah Wobble. I loved his dub-based bass playing with Public Image but then when he left he looks to have tackled every music genre you can think of and a lot that you can't think of.

Music About Musicians By Musicians
Introduction Dexy's Midnight Runners came on the radio covering Van Morrison's "Jackie Wilson Said" and I thought could I put together a playlist of songs or band singing about other singers or bands. We obviously have something to kick off this one and another has just come into my head, bands named after songs, but that can wait awhile.

The Soundtrack Of Success: What My Collective Vocal Media Top Stories Sound Like . Top Story - June 2026.
Just to ignite some more creativity, both with the existence of music and my passion for freelance writing and creativity; a cool and comforting thought was to compile a playlist - a soundtrack of songs that reflect the meaning of each article that has won a Top Story Award for me on Vocal Media from 2021 until today. And of course this is to inspire people to write if they are writers, and/or to achieve their goals in other areas of life. Persistence certainly pays, even if it feels like your work is not being recognised. There are no inflated egos here, only humility.

The Buzz
Introduction What is it with flies and wasps? Are they just there to annoy us? I've had a couple in the house over the last few days, so I open windows and doors to let them out, and then what happens? They keep banging against the window or me.
