A Matter Of Life ~ Penguin Café. Features Arthur "Son of Simon" Jeffes, hence the abbreviated name. Similar enough to to the Penguin Café Orchestra to keep fans happy, different enough to make them say "that's a bit different from the Penguin Café Orchestra and, moreover, really rather good." Why has it taken me five years to get round to buying this album?

Fairport's Jewel in the Crown, Sin E's Deep Water Dropoff, Kath Tickell's Strange But True* and the new mixed-bag-compilation of older Floyd followed immediately by Wish You Were Here.

* Contains a great version of Jimmy Allen/Salmon Tails that I simply can't help playing along to on the mandolin.

Early AC/DC.

Saw this under one track on Youtube, made my spill my coffee

Everytime I listen to Bon Scott, I feel like I have to take a shower and get an STD screen afterward. He's my hero.

Almost by accident, I listened to the "Sporting Witness" episode about Beryl yesterday. Much shorter, but real interviews. I think all the SW's are on the iPlayer for eternity, there's some good stuff in there.

Right now?

Rock Wi T'yew by Mr Mike Jackson on Rockin' Radio 2. With toons like that, I reckon he'll go far.

Not watched the DVD. Some of the performance is ace, some of it irritating, like the howling on Steppenwolf.

I saw the remake a while ago. BRIAN BLESSED !!!!!!!!1!!! hamming it up kind of destroys the sense of impending apocalypse that the original reading had.

OTOH, the KLF remix of Silver Machine on the Epoch: Eclipse compilation was just shite.

The original Sonic Attack is profoundly disturbing, the vocals almost sneered at the listener. BB seems to be laughing all the way through.

But be warned! Viewing this might compel you to 'Prancercise', or just be sick.

Today I am a little more up to date, listening to "Wolves" and "Human" by Rag and Bone Man.
