What are you listening to right now #15?

[Stevie A]

Cottage for sale-- Nat KING Cole!!

 

[RickyC6]

Johnny Cash - American Recordings (LP). The first of the series of 5 albums with Rick Rubin (got 2 - 3 to get). Brilliant, sparse interpretations of great songs - easily up there with the Sun recordings and the prison albums - and on 180gm vinyl.

Cheers

'Psychotic Reaction' by Count Five, part of a giveaway Mojo 'Garage Rock' compilation.

Great song!... even better when The Cramps did it IMHO

Paul

 

[Stevie A]

From now on -Supertramp

 

[foxwelljsly]

Will Self on 'Any Questions' R4. Droll is not the word.

 

[Stevie A]

Theme to Midnight Cowboy- A haunting tune!

The new Pere Ubu record, Why I Hate Women (droll title). It's very good, but Ubu are nearly always very good.

Black Sabbath - Black Sabbath

It all started here...

 

[RickyC6]

Echo and The Bunnymen - Songs To Learn And Sing (LP). I don't need to learn them - I appear to be word perfect! Will Sergeant - more than useful geetar player.

Cheers

Get Cape. Wear Cape. Fly. - Chronicles of a bohemian teenager.

It's alright on first listen.

trevor watts with moire music....a wider embrace... has anyone seen him in concert with jamie harris and gibran cervantes.. playing this weird instrument called a urukungolo.... its brilliant..

 

[RickyC6]

Magazine - Secondhand Daylight (LP). Yup - still a classic.

The Teardrop Explodes - Everybody Wants To Shag... (LP). Don't think I've ever played this actually. Not sure I ever will again. Copey sounds full of acid-induced paranoia (err probbly cos he was); the evil Balfe manages to organise some decent sounds but that is about it. Never should have released it.

Cheers

Do you remember an East Riding cover band called "The Underpant Explodes" ?

They were still going a few years ago - or at least reformed for a few gigs.

No I don't - but I would if I'd heard of 'em. Must give Kilimanjaro a spin sometime soon - Thief Of Baghdad is one of my top (?) of great songs.

Ornette, Sound Grammar. A record of the year, no question.

It's alright on first listen.

As band names become more and more convoluted, what do their fans shout prior to the band hitting the stage? "Cape, Cape, Cape..."?

 

[rod]

<Chronicles of a Bohemian Teenager> In fact, it's not half bad at all.

 

[AlexG]

I don't get the references to DCFC/Postal Service tbh. It's more like a lo-fi version of 'Shame About Ray' era Lemonheads or a less glitchy version of My Computer.

edit : currently The Letting Go by Bonnie Prince Billy. I like it, and have no idea why I haven't tried his stuff before.
