A package was collected earlier , Studio-Albums-1968-1979-Joni-Mitchell , 10 CD's. I've only heard 3-4 of them previously. Currently discovering "Song to a Seagull"

Ride, "Nowhere" - in particular, this gem:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wF0FO5riglY

Mark Gardener (ex-Ride guitarist) was supporting Robin Guthrie last night doing an acoustic set - he did a couple of Ride songs, but they do sound much better with the feedback

(although his version of "In A Different Place" did sorta-kinda work in an acoustic context)

"Nowhere" is one of the best albums of the 90s, IMO - the follow-up, "Going Blank Again" was OK and the third album is commonly referred to as "Carnival of Shite" for very good reasons.

Edit: Now this:

I was going to listen to Tom Robinson on 6 Music but ICBA listening to his guest wittering on for hours, so instead, North Atlantic Oscillation - Fog Electric.
Would really like to see them live.

Chicago Transit Authority - first album aka Chicago I

The band that later changed it's name to Chicago - yes that Chicago of the FM friendlily love songs. Their first album though was a different beast altogether !
Not sure what it should be called really, perhaps "progressive funk" ?

I shall be at PSB's transmission at Moles Club, Bath next wednesday evening. Only a fiver. I'm expecting a jolly spiffing show. Tix still available.

Quote

J. Willgoose, Esq. and Wrigglesworth sample old public information films and archive material and set them to new music. Live, the films are screened simultaneously as laptops are fiddled with, drums are pounded, theremins are wafted at, guitars are bashed and banjos furiously plucked. Teaching the lessons of the past through the music of the future.

I decided to relive my youth so I tapped a few keys into Amazon and the first four Angelic Upstarts albums appeared on my desk at work today. I used to own some of them on vinyl now on CD.

Such joyous cacophony. Currently listening to second album "We gotta get put this place" Makes me very happy.

Bach BWV 56,4 and 82 - Karl Richter 1970 - Munich Bach Choir with Dietrich Fischer-Dieskau

Not an authentic period interpretation but a lush romantic one on modern instruments which paradoxically makes it a out of date and unfashionable these days.
Still it's absolutely ravishing.

You can't have too much Bach.

Bargain at a fiver - my Norwich ticket was double that...

New single is out soon: https://soundcloud.com/psbhq/signal-30-public-service and it rocks far more than the War Room stuff

The Wave Pictures, performing the songs of Herman Dune. Now there's an agreeable combination.

It's ok, but I still prefer "Spitfire"

Today, though, I am listening to Willy Mason - Carry On

Good it certainly is

I've placed the classical & jazz to one side today and am entertaining my neighbours with a nice box set.

Damn, I haven't listened to that in years. I think I have it on minidisc

I'm off for a rummage.

I don't own any Lambchop. I must put that right.

When not listening to 6 Music, I'm still listening to Tame Impala - last couple of albums.

Best of Johnney Winter.

Picked this up in the HMV sale this morning. Was quite surprised at some of the more low key horn backed tracks on there as well as his more trademark high energy blues rock. If you've never heard any of his stuff imagine if Rory Gallagher had a Texan cousin.

tiermat · « **Reply #3649 on:** 27 February, 2013, 11:23:34 am »

More Deershed stuff, so far this morning:

Smoove and Turrell - Eccentric Audio (nice funk/soul)
Moulettes - Moulettes (rather good, they are!)
Alasca - Actors and Liars
Edwyn Collins - Losing Sleep
Novella - Surrounded by Monsters.

I have a feeling it is going to be a good day, music wise.
