Purcell - Dido and Aeneas

With Jessye Norman as Dido. This was recommended by WoW and is indeed exclenent though I still prefer Janet Baker as Dido.

A Hawk and a Hacksaw - You Have Already Gone to the Other World.

Look, it's got a goat on the album cover, what's not to like?

Van Halen - Van Halen

I had forgotten how good they were before all the hairspray and spandex. Apparently Eddie used to audition Marshall amps to find ones that were just on the edge of actually blowing up and then use those to record and tour with. Here that lovely Marshall overdrive on the beginning of "aint talking about love"

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LBOLf2UyzU8

Agreed - have just dug this out and played it for the first time in ages.

Awesome the impact that it had at the time, beacuse Eddie was doing things never been done before.

Apparently (here we go again, a Littlesox Wikimyth) they came over here to support Queen, and after 3 shows were politley asked to leave the tour because they were upstaging the main act.

I also still like Fair Warning.

As Bill and Ted would say - most excellent !

Mr. Blue Sky by ELO, one of the best and most quirky songs ever.

The vocoded bit at the very end is actually "Please Turn Me Over", not "Mr Blue Sky, why?". The track was at the end of one side of the Out of The Blue LP.

Just got the beautiful 2013 CD album from The Besnard Lakes: Until In Excess, Imperceptible UFO.

Not sure taking pills from strange men is a good idea, though:

Working my way through my latest eMusic downloads: it seems I've gone for mainly (dark) ambient/experimental this month with a touch of 'chillwave' (ToC), African polyrhythm-influenced dance (HT) & BoC-esque electronica (Freescha) to lighten things up...

Tropic of Cancer - 4 eps
Harmonious Thelonious - Talking
Miles - Faint Hearted
Celer - In Escaping Lakes + Tightrope
Freescha - Freeschaland
The Haxan Cloak - Excavation
Rainforest Spiritual Enslavement - 4 eps

But currently revisiting some old industrial electronic stuff courtesy of Terror Against Terror's Psychological Warfare Technology Systems

Jeff Lynne's productions are always immaculate, and I love his own songs. i saw a (MTV?) programme about him quite recently and he comes across as one of the most ego-free and thoroughly nice blokes you could imagine. So ELO are excellent in my book.

So the Stones are reducing ticket prices on their US tour cos they're having some trouble selling 'em. About fucking time, they've been getting away with murder for years. Greatest Rock'n'Roll band in the world - do me a fucking favour. I couldn't be happier that they've finally been rumbled. Does anyone here know anyone who owns a Stones album post-Exile on Main Street? Thought not.

Apropos of all the above
