The Broken Family Band. Country-tinged folksy indie with bitter, heartfelt lyrics, led by Stephen Adams's wonderfully OTT US accent.

See also his current band, The Singing Adams. A little less country, a little more indie.

You really should. It's fabulous.  TBFB also had a great quiet-loud vibe going on at times, like a country version of the Pixies. Good sweariness as well.

I can do you CDRs if you like (or a USB stick more like, as the CD drive is a bit temperamental).

Gorky's Zygotic Mynci live at Clwb Ifor Bach, 2000.  I taped it off the radio and just found the tape in a box - so I'm converting it to MP3.  It's as enchanting as I remember.

Had the good fortune and connections to get guest tickets for WOMAD last weekend and managed to blag my way onstage with Booker T Jones.

Proper R 'n' B, not that stuff that's nicked the name.

Even better, while I was wallowing in nostalgia (yes, I am an old fart), I discovered that the latest episode of the consistently wonderful 'Live from Dary'ls House' featured the man himself.

Hammond B-3 heaven.

A little something my son introduced me to.

ETA:  He showed me this too.

Nevermind - inspired by the fact that I read about the 20th anniversary edition coming out soon.

20 years - where did it go?

I arrived at University just as Nirvana got huge - certainly part of the soundtrack of my first year there.
Right! What's next?

Ooooh. That sounds like a daft idea.  I am in!

Spotlight Kid - Haunting Me.  Blatantly derivative of My Bloody Valentine - one of my very favourite bands - but that doesn't spoil my enjoyment.

Ryan Adams "Heartbreaker". It's been a while since I've put it on, and I'm sure it's not considered cool, but it's one of my 'Desert Island' disks without doubt.
