And Justice For All - Metallica. Regressing back to my teenage years :).
Tonight The best of Prince (The wife was out) REM Document New Order Substance The Kings of Leon The newest Graham Coxon, I can't remember what it's called
Lordsummit what do you think to the kings Of Leon? I have been a rock fan since the i was young-un in the seventies,and I haven't been as excited by a debut cd as this in a long time,great cd for the car imho currently spinning How The West Was Won,Zep,worth it just for the 25 minute Dazed And Confused
Just dug out my old 45s for a session.. Top of the bunch were the Monchrome Set singles - especially He's Frank/Alphaville and Cast a Long Shadow. Required listening if you like indie/art rock... They certainly showed Franz Ferdinnand and their ilk how it should have been done, and in 1980!
Todays music : Dire Straits - everything up to & inc Brothers in Arms Miles Davis - Birth of The Cool The Proms Joni Mitchell - Blue PJ Harvey - Uh Huh Her
so far today Buddy Holly - The Buddy Hollie Story The Who - Quadrophenia various - Good Morning Vietnam various - Sixties Classics (or some such badly recorded tripe) The Kinks - best Of Can you tell we got the old's visiting
Todays purchases where: Clash - super black market clash ( CD ). £5 Fopp I used to have the 10" first time around but it has long since gone. I even caught my missus swinging and tapping her toes, whilst she was reading the paper. With all them infectious Reggae/dub bass lines who could blame her. I'd kinda forgotton just how good the Clash were. BillyBragg/Wilco. Mermaid Avenue Vol II. ( CD ). £10 Fopp I got the first one quite some time ago now and although it was promised i didn't think they'd get around to putting even more of Woody Guthrie's words to music. I just love Billy Bragg's music , whatever he does, one man and his guitar. (even if he is a commie/lefty)( joke !). Not had any time to pick out a fave as yet . Surprisingly for me 'Ingrid Bergman' was my pick from Vol 1. Its got hardly any words and hardly any tune but it's all Cocky, Cockney Billy. i need a few more plays of Vol 2 yet though. Linkin Park - Hybrid Theory ( CD ) £5 Fopp Seen/Heard enough of it on Kerrang/MTV2 so thought i'd give it a bash. Saving it for Sunday afternoons listen though.
Liars, They Were Wrong So We Drowned. Appears to be a concept album about witch trials. Noisier and more angular than their first album, the excellently titled They Threw Us All in a Trench and Stuck a Monument on Top, I like this a lot. -- Ian
At the moment I have got the Mozza bug after seeing him at LLC at Old Trafford. So: You are the Quary - Morrisey The Queen is Dead - Smiths Smiths- Smiths Hatfull of Hollow - Smiths Sudehead Greatest Hits - Morrisey I am listening to Stone Roses, Simon and Garfunkel, Roy Orbison, Trace Chapman and Carole King in between.
Carole King - Tapestry Guns and Roses - Use Your Illusion 1+2 Stevie Wonder - Fullfillingness' first finale
excellent CD Merlin,Dazed And Confused on there is just incredible,Page at his best I am spinning some Fred Neil at the moment
So far tonight... PJ Harvey - Uh Huh Her (again!) Very good, shame she's doing no gigs in the NW Eddie Reader - Angels & Electricity The Hope Blister - Smile's OK Not listened to tonights prom, will switch Late Junction on soon.
Autechre, Ae. Haven't listened to any Autechre for ages even though I have loads. This is really quite good, Aphex Twin fans would like it. -- Ian
The Tower Recordings, Furniture Music For Evening Shuttles. Very good Americana psych-folk oddness. Distinctly lo-fi, and all the better for it. -- Ian
