I see The Notwist have a new lp out. Must pick it up. In the meantime playing their last one from 4yrs back. Pretty, pretty good.

A religious experience on Good Friday

Sam Prekop Such a dreamy album. I love it.

Tortoise Nov 1st Glasgow Can't wait, been way too long

It's Friday and the Sunn O))) is out.

Sunday night sounds

"I look good in a glass pack"

One of the greatest albums ever made

That curious 66/67 period where The Stones didn't know what they wanted to be before they just decided to be themselves.

Takes me back...

I love Ronno going wild on 'The Width Of a Circle' on this. Some player, the best he ever had, and he had some really good players on his albums and live bands.

Getting Friday off to a good start with some Disquiet from The Necks.

R.E.M live at The Olympia Great performance and setlist, but the cd is compressed to fuck to the point of distortion. Thanks (once again) Jacknife Lee for making good music barely listenable.

Friday almost 5pm The Bruddas ....Get in there!!

Scary creatures of the deep

Thelonous Monk - Genius OfModern Music Volume One This and vol.2 (being reissued next week on Blue Note Classics) are among the greatest jazz albums ever released.

Friday afternoon Dead pick

"Your attention please..."

One of my favourite albums ever. Absolutely love this record from Macca. The UK first press sounds incredibly dynamic and vivid.

This is really the ultimate late night record, but it's on the deck on Friday morning. 'No One Cares' by Frank New cart on the LP12 last week, and this sounds just stunning.

More early Banshees. A half great album, that could have matched the debut if they'd had a couple more songs ready. Still don't know why they never used 'Make Up ,Break Up' from the live set and 'The Scream' demos. That was a great song. Maybe they didn't like it at the time.

One of the best debut albums.

Is She Weird, is she white, is she promised to the night and her head has no room..."

Last of the true Pixies albums

There are a lot of gems on this complete recordings boxed set from Frank Black & The Catholics. A fair amount of unremarkable but pleasant chugging indie guitar rock too as heard a bit too much on Pixies post reformation albums.

An incredible Dark Star on cd 3 of this. Whole show is one of the best i have heard by them. Veneta Oregon August 27th 1972

Steve Reich - The Desert Music

Pavement The best of America

RIP Bob Weir A long strange trip indeed A true music man

Laetitia Sadier- SIlencio A really fine solo album from the Stereolab chanteuse

N/P Jamire Williams 'But Only After You Have Suffered'

50p each in Cancer Research yesterday Hamish Hawke's excellent last album and a fantastic 3 albums on 2cd set from Allen Toussaint.

Some classic era Alice Cooper Killer

Xmas Parade

50p out the charity. Excellent cd by the 'Dave Holland Quartet' on ECM. Don't know the saxophonist Steve Coleman, guitarist Kevin Eubanks, nor drummer Martin Smith, but they are all superb.

Got the xmas tunes on...

Hasn't been off the turntable since yesterday. The great country queen Margo Price

Iggy and Bowie collaborate again Not anywhere near as good asThe Idiot or Lust For Life, but still a fine album that, once again, rejuvenated Iggy's career.

"...poster torn"

Such a great collaboration from two masters of song from different generations.

Some more Andrew Hill
