    What are you listening to?

    https://youtu.be/v6Ytde6tmkQ

    Hugely unsuccessful band but massively influential.

    I hear shoe-gaze, grunge, slocore and there's probably a few more micro genres in there too.

    Great to learn to play to.

    I'm enjoying most of 22, A million. Bon Iver's new album.

    It reminds me of the Avalanches "I will always love you" album, but less refined, less tuneful.

    Needs a couple of listens.
    Buy nothing online unless you check for free cashback here first. I've already earned £2,389.68!

    Talking a trip back to the mid 90s to listen to Jagged Little Pill by Alanis Morissette. I completely dismissed this first time round as I was getting a bit carried away with Britpop and all the associated stuff but give or take a few too many out of tune hollers, it's a truly brilliant album.

    Also going back through all Elliott Smith's albums, my favourite of which is Figure 8, dark and tormented but beautiful melodies.

    A valid choice. That first chunk of their discography is wildly inventive and still listenable.

    New albums from the Alabama 3 and the Filthy Tongues.

    Also re-discovering my love of Jacques Brel through Scott Walker.

    And likely to get the new album by Hi-fi Sean and David McAlmont.

    Oh, also .... in the light of David Lindley's passing.... replaying almost everything he ever did.

    This week I’ve got Big Country The Crossing and Prefab Sprout From Langley Park to Memphis

    I read a biography of Scott last year. Back then good English translations of Brel's lyrics were at a premium. Walker got wind through his tin pan alley connections of a guy who was producing translations which he eventually used. The translator for some reason wanted to stay anonymous but also wanted paid so this led to Walker meeting a middle man on a specified park bench, handing over the cash and getting the lyrics. The middle man was singer Kenny Lynch.

    I've been listening to Joe Pass' remastered Virtuoso album. Came across it doing something I seen on Twitter a while back. Basically going to the year you were born and searching through and listening to albums released in that year. I seem to be particularly blessed having 1973 as my birth year!! I'd never hear of Joe Pass and never really got into Jazz, found it on a specific Jazz search for 1973. I have been doing this for well over a year now and I still have loads to go through, in fact it could become a lifelong exercise! I use sites like Rate Your Music and Allmusic.com for the lists and I have Apple music which seems to have most of the albums apart from the very obscure ones. I listen to everything, stuff I have heard before and stuff I have never heard of, I keep the albums I like and delete the ones that don't appeal.


    Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former.

    One of my favourite albums of that time was 50 years old last weekend. The Captain and Me by the Doobie Brothers.

    And so was Dark Side of the Moon.

    73 was a good year for albums

    Great story Thanks.

    When I was young, Kenny Lynch was "showbiz", so I had little interest in him. Having read more about him since he died, he was pretty "rock and roll".

    I've done a tiny bit digging about the Brel translation, and wonder if it was Mort Schuman, who wrote a lot of early rock & roll hits.

    To my ears back then they sounded really commercial. They were EMI's big hope after losing the pistols and the thought was they would sell plenty. Sold buttons (see also Magazine)

    Still sound brilliant.

    Inhaler's new album, Cuts & Bruises and loving it. Also, De La Soul's, 3 Feet High & Rising vinyl arrived last week. Great to finally get their back catalogue released, my original is scratched to ****!

    The main event of the year is only a couple of weeks away....Depeche Mode's latest offering, Memento Mori is released......

    I've had that album for ever but only really got more into it recently. Some really great songs on it. Its amazing how much 12XU is exactly what American hardcore punk became 3 or 4 years later.


    That aside, current listening is the incredible "Blending' by High Vis. Hardcore band from London but this album steers between indie and post punk with Trauma Bonds being the pick of the bunch for my money.

    Tonight it is Stevie Wonder’s Innervisions on vinyl. Followed by Songs in the Key of Life. A genius at work.

    Hopefully you didn't get it from Vinyl Villains as it would probably be mine and not in the best nick!

    The vinyl revival has gone the other way for me, sold all my vinyl albums and now considering flogging all my punk/new wave singles.

    Currently listening to the bronx album V. Some kick ass punk rock.

    For anyone that digs them, their last album is currently on Amazon for £8.70

    Thankfully no! Vox records in Stockbridge.

    VV still find a few gems in there but don’t like all the fakes that they seem to sell.

    KT tunstall, tiger suit. Memories of seeing her live in NYC. Sunday is a no TV day in my house.
    There is no such thing as too much yarn, just not enough time.

    Like most rock fans, I've been listening to a lot of Sleep Token lately. Also been enjoying a lot of Spanish Love Songs (a beautiful, obscure little pop-punk band).

    At the heavier end, Invent Animate released a new album on Friday and I can't stop listening to it.

    At the extreme end, I've been dipping my toe into deathcore music and Lorna Shore's "Pain Remains" album is phenomenal (but intense, especially if you don't listen to heavy rock).

    I'm off to see Death Cab for Cutie at the Usher Hall on Wednesday so their discography and new album, Asphalt Meadows has been getting some good time in my ears.
    Madness, as you know, is a lot like gravity. All it takes is a little push.

    Depeche Mode's Memento Mori released this morning (but had a leaked copy for the last week). Brilliant album. To be releasing new music of this quality after 40 odd years is incredible.....puts many of their contemporaries to shame! Can't wait to see them in Vegas next week.
