Going to see him on Thursday at a little club in Bristol. Only found out yesterday that he was touring 'cos someone left a comment on my YouTube channel. I've been listening to him for years after being introduced to his music by a friend in San Francisco. His brand of Americana has been my driving soundtrack in the States ever since. Apparently he hasn't been in the UK for 6+ years. He's only doing about 5 nights in the UK supporting The Deep Dark Woods in some very small and strange venues. Excellent!

Mozart's Sinfonia Concertante K.364. I don't know if it's just its association with "Drowning By Numbers", but the second movement is both moving and deeply sinister at the same time. It's probably the viola that does it.

SRV - Texas Flood

On full blast in the car for 150 miles yesterday. SRVs first album and stunning. Just a Strat with hot pickups a bit of overdrive and a tube amp.

Ooooo, I think I will dig out Flood. TMBG are responsible for my love of live music, my very first gig was them playing at Redcar Bowl (sounds grander than it is) in 1990.

This afternoon is a Bad Religion marathon. I'm hoping some of their energy will miraculously transfer over to me.

Andrij, STOP LOOKING THROUGH MY CD COLLECTION!!!

Put 21st Century Digital Boy on, turn it up to 11 and bound around the room like a loon, guaranteed to make you feel better.

Failing that, put the Dissent of Man on.

This could be a fun game.

I have been known to put Generator on shuffle and repeat for a few hours. Doubt they neighbours were impressed but it was the music for my mood.

I am managing to annoy my family today by listening to Rancid and NOFX...

I seriously need something to keep me awake enough to complete some builds, as the caffiene just ain't working (I know why I feel like this, I have cleared up after the BBQ and seen the amount of Calvados, rum, vodka and the like that was consumed last night!)

Gravenhurst - The Ghost in Daylight. As doom-laden and dark as the earlier records that I know, slightly folky and atmospheric, and I'm off to see him next week. I did see a bit of his set at the End of the Road festival last week, but he had the bad luck to be playing about five minutes after Patti Smith finished, and I heard most of his set reverberating through the wall of the tent. Sounded bloody good, though.

Also, some early (sparse and beautiful) Songs:Ohia.

Interspersed with Pulp and The King.

Scribble Beats by Locust Toybox aka David Firth of Salad Fingers animation fame

All 9 albums can be had for free & if you're into Warp Records stuff they're well worth having

As good I'd say but not a massive departure, has some acoustic versions of songs from When You Left the Fire and feels a little less produced.
