Three fantastic albums this week for me. Probably not to the liking of the indie guys on here but eh: The first Hercules and Love Affair album is top stuff, so too Dig Lazarus Dig and Sessions by Carl Craig - free your mind and your ass will follow..

Rock doesn't get much better that this.

Come on now Mr BWH, even you must see something in this that tickles your fancy even though it was three generations before your time.



Bollocks it seems to be stalling on the direct link so here's the Youtube page.

The Magnetic Fields. Again. I can't get enough of them.


Also,

DeVotchka - A Mad and Faithful Telling
Fuck Buttons - Street Horrrsing
Richard Youngs - Autumn Response

I've also liked what I've heard from Tunng's Sam Genders' new band The Accidental. Good stuff.

Tunng feature on the Imagined Village album, true story.

I'm going to be sorting my Attic out later and I'll be listening to this....been thinking about the album today and I haven't played it for years....

Elton John - Candle in the Wind

Earth - Bees make Honey in the Lions Skull.

Had this a few weeks - wonderful atmospheric instrumental.

Dexys Midnight Runners' Dont Stand Me Down.

There best album that was savaged by critics at the time who have all retracted their comments and have started hailing it a masterpiece...a hidden gem.

What she like?

Rowland: Well, you know the kind of people? That put creases in their old Levis?

Thingy: Sure

Rowland: The type that use expressions like tongue in cheek and send up?

Thingy: Indeeeeeeeed l do

Johnny Cash - Casey Jones



changed now to

Jose Gonzales - Heartbeat (The knife originally)

The Rolling Stones - She's A Rainbow

Ah yes, I remember the time when the Stones were capable of pulling out completely untypical songs and surprising us all instead of being the most predictable group ever, second to none (not even Status Quo).
I think that era must have died with Mr Jones.

Top quality cover version. He does both lead and backing vocals. Sweet!

Weird innit: I've never heard of the feller, yet I knew as soon as I saw him he was going to be Irish.

Maybe I mistook him for Damien Roice.

The Clash - Give em enough Rope CD.

At the risk of sounding pedantic, Jens Lekman is Swedish.

I can see why you said that though.

Yes Mutters, the 'Hits' are amongst the 21 tracks on disc one.

Wu-Tang Clan - Wu-Tang Forever
Raekwon - Only Built 4 Cuban Linx...
Ghostface Killah - Supreme Clientele

A Seattle band called Fleet Foxes. They're like a strange mixture of folk, harmonic pop and church music that works really well. I'm liking them a lot.

Yeasayer - All Hour Symbols. A definite for the play offs this one.

I've just been listening to that to.

Quite enjoyable but a bit too much orchestra in it for my liking.

This is what music I *really* like.

Baroque rocks and Handel rocks baroque.

what thinketh you of Dig lazarus Dig?!

might've asked this before but forgot the reply.....typically

see I think its a bit of turkey....
I only got a downloaded version of it,no sleeve notes....what part does Ellis play, guitars?
loops?

M83 and Low

I'm liking the new REM album as well, definitely a return to form.

I've also been listening to....

Jeremy Jay - Airwalker (lo-fi pop, cool stuff in the vein of the Hidden Cameras)
Wolf Parade - Apologies to Queen Mary
Suicide - Suicide
This Will Destroy You - This Will Destroy You (Godspeedesque, but not as good obviously)
Max Richter - Songs From Before

Just got this on vinyl the other day,definetely more enjoyable than the CD

Now onto
