The Hoddle of Coffee: Tottenham Hotspur News and Links for Monday, October 26

Good morning everyone – I know the Chelsea result occurred. However, I'm currently traveling and haven't received the latest score information, so I apologize if I'm not fully aware of the current situation. This hoddle, like last Friday, focuses on a record that holds significant meaning to me. Today, it revolves around Fleetwood Mac.

The track of the day playlist prominently features the band, but surprisingly lacks many songs by Peter Green, an essential aspect of their discography. I once worked at a running store near Spitafield Market in London. Two days a week, the market hosted a diverse selection of vendors selling clothing, food, vintage artifacts, and other items.

I acquired a jacket there that lasted me four years. Additionally, I purchased the album Then Play On by Fleetwood Mac. I had been eyeing this album for some time. Upon returning home that day, I played it on my modest Crossley record player. I adored it. My copy of this album is in poor condition, unfortunately. The album itself plays well, but the jacket is deteriorating.

I was familiar with Peter Green's Fleetwood Mac, yet I had never listened to this particular record before. It's vastly different from the pop-oriented work created by Lindsey Buckingham and Stevie Nicks a decade later, which became the version of Fleetwood Mac adored by many. However, we must not overlook Peter Green or his bandmate Danny Kirwin.

This record includes some of my favorite Fleetwood Mac songs. Apart from Rumours, it may be my favorite FM piece. Today, we will be listening to Closing My Eyes, a beautiful, bluesy, and melancholic piece by Peter Green. The time with the band was soon coming to an end for him. This song deeply impacted me when I first played it, and it still does. Your hoddler-in-chief is currently on the move. The commentariat is left to provide its own links.
