As I have done so many times, I heard a great track in a record shop and bought the album, years ago. The band split after two records, and I could never find the other one. By chance, I saw that a certain online mega-retailer had a copy of the two albums and one disc. It arrived a few days ago.

The album has the track that caught my ear, a song about a stalker:
"It's me that follows after, it's my step you hear... It's me!"

In Swedish, of course.

Don Letts' Sound of Cinema programme from last week. Just got past the Blaxploitation stuff.

'You're damn right...'

And earlier today: Oren Ambarchi's Sagittarian Domain:

Laura Cantrell.... new album

I caved in and bought the remastered version of "Sandanista" on vinyl....

On vinyl, you can still hear, in crystal-clear detail, every nuance of the disappointment that album turned out to be.

They've remastered all the studio albums . Sound quality is excellent, better than my old CD copy. Must be topping up the pension fund..

Bill Bryson - Down Under (Audiobook)

Once again, I'm thinking "We should have a 'What audiobook are we listening to today?' thread". Audio books are not reading, so don't qualify for the "What are we reading today?" thread, and yet - listening to an audiobook is very different to listening to music.

Meh...

A radical thought: why don't you start one?

Meh...

Ah...

Disagree. Audio books are quite appropriate in the 'What books etc' thread. Although the activity is different, the content is ~~the same~~ mostly similar. And someone listening to the audio book can have a meaningful discusion with someone reading the wooden or digital version of it.

Fboab recommended something in the book thread she had been listening to on LEL (I think) and I thoroughly enjoyed it on the Kindle.

Mark Radcliffe's Folk Show on R2.

He just played a shitty song called Dance The Dark Morris, from an album called The Wintersmith, by Steeleye Span. Are they really writing songs about Pterry novels?!

Jo Whiley. Fabulous. Has she always been on Radio 2?! I love her.

Sorry, been away from this thread. No, we're not London-based but we are going. Mind you we'll be surrounded by Shoreditch hipsters.

Meanwhile, the Pups are dribbling out tracks from their #1 iTunes jazz chart album.
Listen to Lalah Hathaway sing chords, starting at about 6.13. Stunning vocal.
Mark my words, these guys will be walking away with a Grammy next year.

I may have mentioned I'm going to their next live album recording on Monday. In that Holland. Should be a good combination.

Scorn - Anamnesis (compilation) and Whine (live-ish album)

Dark ambient as done by Napalm Death's original drummer(!) - actually rather good in a dubby, extremely bass-heavy sort of way.

The Black Crowes. I am particularly liking this cover of the Velvet Undergrounds "Oh Sweet Nothing". It's not often Rich Robinson sings instead of Chris but his voice really suits this song. Also Luther Dickinson's guitar work is awesome on this track.

I have always been a big BC fan, but really went off them after "Amorica". I, just recently, got "Warpaint" then "Before The Frost ... Until The Freeze" and I am impressed.

Yes they lost it a bit in the late 90s early 2000s. There is loose (good) and then there is confused rambling mess (not good).

Conflict - a nice bit of anarcho-punk to get things moving.

Japan - Quiet Life. David Sylvian has a horrible voice but it's a good song.

Clearing out my office room today and now I can get to the record deck again. So Delaney Bramlett "Something's Coming" - gospel and soul infused rock with big arrangements. Vanetta Fields is the backing vocalist on this one, she was also on "Wish you were Here" and "Exile on Main Street". A nice slice of early 70s rock.

It is.
And the bass line is an absolute bastard. DAHIKT - but then, Mick Karn (RIP) had the sort of talent most people can only dream of.

John Coltrane, The Heavyweight Champion a 7CD box set of all his recordings on Atlantic.

Wonderful stuff, and at a lightweight price.

The Smiths - Handome Devil. A bit of S&M sex and the immortal line "there's more to life than books, you know, but not much more".
