My 37 year old vinyl copy of Crocodiles by Echo and The Bunnymen, bought on the day it was issued. I'd been dragged along to see them a few weeks earlier at The Lyceum (with a new band called U2 third on the bill) by a schoolfriend of mine who had come down from Liverpool especially. I didn't know what to expect and was completely blown away. I've not listened to it for years and forgotten just how good it was/is.

If you want to chill, listen to some music that doesn't interfere, or require any special attention, then listen to The Necks's SEX (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZaTyHFo3kns).

Brilliant.

Caetano Veloso - Legendary Brazilian singer / guitarist apparently. I hadn't hear of him until I followed a link from Riggers. Most excellent.

Marillion ~ Misplaced Childhood. Yes, yes. I know it's 30 some years old but I hadn't seen the disc since
2012's French Odyssey. Tiermat saw it amongst my cd collection and said 'oo, haven't heard that... etc.'

It struck me that , at the time, everyone compared them to Genesis (bring back Peter Gabriel...[cont p.94]) listening now with fresher ears, it's definitely channeling the later Pink Floyd.

I get the same feeling when I hear Chris Thile on mandolin. Incidentally the pair o ft hem have apparently just announced an album together

Little Feet. All my Little Feet was on vinyl but I just picked up the boxed set Rad Gumbo: The Complete Warner Bros. Years 1971-1990.
All the albums up to 1990 in remastered form including the deluxe version of Waiting for Columbus. 13 CDs for £35 a bargain.

Just looking the personnel listing for Dixie Chicken . Apart from Little Feet themselves there are Bonnie Bramlett, Bonnie Raitt and Gloria Jones as backing singers. Not too shabby!

Jim Croce. It's in the CD player in the car for moments when there's something rubbish on R2. Because Suzi Perry's on Drivetime this week, Jim's had a lot of playing. Thursday is such a beautiful song.

Yesterday, as I was cleaning the bike, the whole of Herb Caravan's version of Turandot. Fairly wallowed in it I did. Need a better sound system in the workshop, though, the choruses and tutti were a bit muddy on a 35-year-old music centre and left-over speakers from god knows where. Concrete walls probably don't help, either.

But nothing comes out when they move their lips

And motherfuckers act like they forgot about ~~Dre~~ May"

On Thursday night I heard 3 of the lead players from Liverpool Philharmonics string section playing the Goldberg variations arranged for strings, which was absolutely lovely.

Doors - L A Woman. There's filler on it but it's still the best Doors album. The CD has bonus tracks on it: "Orange County Suite" is a druggy lament with some startling lyrics and a tempo shift halfway through, finally recorded by the band and mixed years after Jim Morrison recorded the vocals, and one of the best things on there.
