Deftones - Around The Fur Keeping me awake through work and no sleep thanks to baby

Some 2nd hand Audio Physic Avanti to replace my Triangle Antal EZ's (which I still love but apparently need to sell). Work better in terraced front room shoved into the bay and just pretty amazing all round. They are the spec before the current "35" but differences are very small.

Thought I'd ask here as I won't be going back to London for a few months at least. Dropped off a 80's Planar 3 to a friend as a present in Walthomstow all working fine yesterday and had given it a look over and replaced belt/bearing. After a few hours of working wonderfully he switched it off...

Imarhan - Aboogi Amazing new album from Tuareg band.

Daft Punk - Discovery Homework through Alive 2007 are massive. Need Alive 2007 on Vinyl, remember caning a really good mp3 bootleg of a date on that tour for about a year before finding out they were going to release 2007. One of my big misses was never seeing them at their peak and...

Had Sam Cooke - Live at the Harlem Square Club on with the partner but now she's taken the babby out it's time for Bloc Party - Silent Alarm Loved them as a young teen saw them loads around the debut album. They had the odd moment after but could never create anything close to this.

End of the work day album on Spotify today Maybe the Jello + Melvins cover of Dream Home .. afterwards

Being born towards the end of '89 I don't have all that many 80's 12", not many singles at all to be honest. The only strong contender I have is The Damned - Eloise, somehow even more theatrical than the other version! Which is great.

Dead Kennedys - Fresh Fruit for Rotting Vegetables 2nd fave DK album but as I am streaming while at work I'll chuck on Police Truck and Too Drunk to as a little sprinkle at the end. One of the best covers on here in my opinion in Viva Las Vegas.

Metric - Grow Up and Blow Away Early one from the 2000's Canadian Indie scene.

The Fiery Furnaces - Rehearsing My Choir Much like Polyphonic Spree and MU (MUTSUMI) I have never managed to get any friends to get into them. upload png

New office system since started my new permanently from home job. Using my old CA A3i with an ex demo bluesound node 2i I got for a steal and some new Quad S1. Spotify is just dandy for me on this. <1k total It's just gorgeous although in some areas sitting 1m away almost feels like cheating.

Bardo Pond - Amanita reissue

Beach Boys - Sounds of Summer comp Should have got this ages ago, they are something special, and despite knowing that I was always put off by all the different albums with filler and the millions of pressings and such. Can't be doing with that, just give me the Boys doing what they do best...

Ella Fitzgerald - The Lost Berlin Tapes Fabolous, she could entertain a brick.
