I saw them a couple of years ago at Latitude - a really interesting and fun band.

It's a terrible song but I love it anyway. So damn catchy.

Oooh!

Think that it counts as a "return to form". The last 2 albums I found a bit dull but this is more classic YLT more in the mould of "And Then Nothing Turned Itself Inside Out" or "I Can Hear the Heart Beating as One"

Ruth Theodore - reminding myself of the brilliance of her last album ahead of the new one that's coming out soon...

Just for a change, Los Campesinos.

Daft Punk - Discovery.

(I accidentally tuned into Radio 1 the other evening and found them remixing One More Time. It was so bad I nearly crashed the car. Bloody savages.)

Oren Ambarchi - Sagittarian Domain

Loscil - Coast/Range/Arc

Don Letts' 6Music show

And over the weekend lots of stuff from my collection that I haven't listened to for ages: Baked Beans, Black Dog Productions, Bowling Green...yep, I'm ripping my alphabetically stored cds (again) this time to FLAC.

A 1980s extended remix - Sleepwalking by Instinct.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EPqSVkko7Ag

It was recorded in 1985 by a group formed by the breakup of Pigbag, but not released until recently on a ZTT compilation CD; I suspect it would have done well in the clubs back then.
All the hallmarks of the ZTT 12"s (over)produced by Trevor Horn -

Massive Sound
Extended instrumental section lasting about four minutes (from about 4:15)
Wacky stereo imaging on the break (e.g. listen to the change in the hi-hats at about 5:00)
Deconstruction of the track into it's components, with each instrument performing a solo that isn't about showing off technical musicianship and skill but simple repetition of the theme
Gradual reconstruction of the track before
The false climax
and the final end one verse later

Not highbrow at all, and a very formulaic treatment, but good for riding to.

Amy Rigby. Who is touring in a couple of months. Currently the track "Are we ever going to have sex again?"

*crosses fingers for a cooperative calendar and a cheap travelodge or similar 'cos otherwise I'm selling the Cubs to the circus and kipping in a bus shelter in either Gateshead or Hull one night in early March*

Faith No More - specifically their first two albums ('Introduce Yourself' and 'We Care A Lot')

Granted, Chuck Mosely couldn't sing for shit but for some reason I like these two albums a lot more than the majority of stuff they recorded with Mike Patton who is, without a doubt, a monumentally talented vocalist - he just really doesn't 'do it' for me.

Streetcore - Joe Strummer & his Mescaleros

Not entirely sure why I didn't own this till the day before yesterday, but am glad I do, as it's really rather good.

The gorgeous new Junip track - Line Of Fire, which sounds like it ought to be the soundtrack to a new Swedish crime drama...

http://youtu.be/9iBgxJQ4oqY

(Junip is Jose Gonzalez's band, if that means anything to anyone.)

St Etienne - Words and Pictures

The first disc is good, as it is all the original songs, but the second disc is not very good at all, all remixes, some of which sort of work and others that fall flat on their arses.

Radio Ethiopia by that Patti Smith. I wore my Patti shirt to the dentist this morning cause I knew my dentist would like it but he wasn't on for emergencies so it was a waste.

I love all the albums. Patton is of course a much better singer, but the first two albums have some of FNM's finest work. They played plenty of the Chuck-era material in the two London shows last year. Saw the Hammersmith one and was delighted they aired 'Pills For Breakfast'.

Joe Stillgoe (Richards son), a good singer & pianist as you'd expect.

His cover of "Waterloo Sunset".
