Couple of completely random CD purchases today
Julian Cope - Black Sheep (2008 double); and
Billy Bragg & Wilco - Mermaid Avenue
Never heard them and could be rubbish, but only 20p each and both like new.
Bargains!
I'd enjoy them Cat, unsure if Cope & Bragg are your taste
Nina Simone 'Pastel Blues/Let It All Out'
Nina Simone 'Tell It Like It Is' .....the title song will be one of my 70's nominations next time round in the Mega-Song Poll, absolutely gorgeous
Pixies 'Head 'Carrier' - this band rarely disappoints
Faith Brothers 'Eventide' - a nice little surprise this one recommended by Durly who comes up with some cracking albums

Been revisiting Placebo. Not managed to get going on the Hold Steady yet. Had a quick dip, but it sounds like something I need to be in the mood for (as with most music). Otherwise been listening to:
Flux - Uncarved Block
Pixies - Surfer Rosa
John Martyn - One World
The Cure - 17 Seconds
Virgin Prunes - If I Die, I Die
Sara, I'm a big fan of Flux. That album is really great and a big departure from the straightforward, anarchy punk of Flux Of Pink Indians. I saw them when they re-formed for the Steve Ignorant, Crass Feeding of The 5000 thing at Shepherds Bush back in 2007 and they were brilliant. They ignored Uncarved Block era stuff though. Would have loved to have seen them in that period of their work.

I've been hammering the debut album by Crows this past couple of weeks. Cracking and, along with The Delines, is competing for my 'favourite album of the year so far" tag.

Mogwai - Come On Die Young
Billie Eilish - When We All Fall Asleep
Dark Star - 20/20 Vision Sisterhood - Gift
King Crimson - Red
Arab Strap - Philophobia
It's not a popular opinion but I really like Gift. An excellent record........especially as it was only really made in spite and as a way of stopping Wayne Hussey and Craig Adams (big Leeds fan) using the name.
+1 on Gift, I really like it. And as Durly has already said, it was Andrew's way of stopping Hussey and Adams using the name. Spiteful bugger that he was/is! Eldritch throws the odd Gift track into the live Sisters set these days, sounds good with the current band.

Yeah, I've seen the Sisters a couple of times in the past few years and they've thrown 'Jihad' and 'Giving Ground' into the setlist.

I know you're a Crimson fan so when GW started the Crimson at 50 thread today over on waccoe he added this cracking version of the Bowie classic ..with Fripp reprising his guitar work. Thought you may enjoy it
"A mind is like a parachute, it doesn't work if it's not open"
Just under three weeks now, until I see what may be their last concert in England!
Is that the Royal Albert Hall one..GW's recent injury has him missing that and he's given his ticket to the daughter of another MOTer Barry Anorak ...Who I'm assume will be there too
"A mind is like a parachute, it doesn't work if it's not open"
I've just found out Brass Against are playing a festival in Cornwall this weekend about a mile (Scorrier) from our friends house in St Day..opportunity missed though unsure Sophia would be singing and that would be the reason to go..Love Brass Against
"A mind is like a parachute, it doesn't work if it's not open"
I'm obsessed with Sophia Urista, cracking voice and a fair bit of original stuff too but known for her work with Brass Against and The Veevees. Wonderful Brass against covers have been my playlist this afternoon. Adore the arrangements on all these courtesy of the saxophonist Andrew Gutauskas
Great version of Sabotage (Beastie Boys) recently added with Sophia on vocals
3 Rage covers - No Shelter/Bullet in the Head/Wake up
Pantera's - Walk
DJ Shadow/Run the Jewels - Nobody Speak (The original videao for thsi one of my all time favourite videos, great track great vid
ended up with my nomination in the best song poll
The Veevees - Wet Evolver and then a cracking blues song Hard Lovin'
