Apologies for missing last week's due to circumstances beyond my control.
Dirty Wurds were a mid-60s Chicago garage band who released two singles in their brief lifetime. This is Takin' My Blues Away, the B-side to their debut, Why (Marina Records 7” 1966).
Fightmilk (website) is an indie rock band from London, England, and this is the wonderful Sci-Fi video for single I'm Starting To Think You Don't Even Want To Go To Space (self-released digital single 2020). Buy here.

Richard Rodney Bennet (1936 – 2012) was an English composer of film, TV and concert music, and also a jazz pianist and occasional vocalist. We conclude with the haunting Anya's Theme (that high-pitched instrument is called an Ondes Martenot from the film Billion Dollar Brain (1967), and then the equally haunting flute based Prelude & Epilogue from Far From The Madding Crowd (also 19670. These are two of my favourite films, helped enormously by Bennet’s beautiful scores. Both were released on vinyl, by United Artists and MGM respectively.
