Rory Gallagher - Top Priority, brilliant hard blues/rock album from 1979, RG was a great guitarist

Frenchie - my Dream Theater collection is bursting at the seams too - brilliant band

Friday night was jazz night in Liverpool

First I listened to the Neil Cowley Trio at the Rodewald Suite. A really lively gig to a packed room.

When that finished I walked around the corner to "The Caledonia" to see Marley Chingus....

It was the drummers birthday........ The rest of the band were wearing masks made from photos of his face and the audience (it was packed with cute students!) had been given little placards to wave with more photos. Quite surreal..

They are the resident band there, so I'll probably pop in next Friday as well.

My boss has got me into Alabama 3. Amazing. A mix of country rap drum and bass. Amazing. And from Scotland too !!

eh? I thought they were very much from Brixton! They are excellent though - and a superb live band.

You are this: right:

We're not from Alabama, and there's not three of us. We're from Brixton, London.

TWFKAML used to live next door to one, or more. Of them.

for Alabama 3. The only gig I have to get the whole family to see!

At the moment listening o Ryan Bingham - Mescalito.

Look out for Richard Thompson touring '1000 years of Pop!'

They started their careers in Brixton, but I think you will find they are actually from Scotland.

"in South London, the son of a Welsh Mormon preacher meets the offspring of a Glaswegian trade unionist at an underground acid house party "

I stand corrected. 1/2 Scottish 1/2 Welsh but based in Brixton.

Currently listening to "Long Days, Black Nights" an anthology of classic Magnum tracks.

I'll just have to confuse everyone by digging out some psychedelic Goa trance next...

Remaster of Puppets, a freebie that came with Kerrang last year, to celebrate 25 years since the original was released.

Fantastic listening to MachineHead, Funeral For A Friend et al cover the classics, but it is a shame that Mastodon screw up Orion....

Yay! My tenuous claim to fame #261 - I once carried Barbara's banjo while she was looking for a taxi

Wow!

I first heard of them when I saw them supporting The Saw Doctors at the Liverpool Empire in about 1994 and just loved them. I found my copy of Sometimes I the other day - hadn't heard it in years and now I'm just playing and replaying it over and over again, and I've just ordered Ginny Clee's solo album from Amazon.

Similar thing here; TWFKAML & I saw them supporting Robyn Hitchcock somewhere or other in Londonton. She reckons that in the last fifteen years we've seen them more than any other band!

Tattoo - Rory Gallagher (1973)

On vinyl. Inspired by the Radio 2 program linked in another thread. Bluestastic.

And swiftly we move on 17 years to:

Mixed UP - The Cure (1990)

Wasn't a great success when it was released this one but it remains my favourite Cure album. Four sides (on vinyl I'm not sure how many CDs) of remixes of The Cures hits. The did the mixes themselves and some had been released on 12 inch before. Side B wit Lovesong and A Forest is particularly good.

Yann Tiersen - La valse des monstres.

Brothers and Sisters - The Allman Brothers Band

It's the one with Jessica on it and the truly wonderful Southbound with great electric piano from Chuck Leavell (later to play keyboards for the Rolling Stones and Eric Clapton. )

Today has been a mix of Modest Mouse albums, I burnt a CD of MP3s to go in the hire car and can easily skip between albums.

3rd Planet and Interstate 8 are the favourites of the day....
