Same here.
This place just isn’t the same without our stripey friend…

It’s not been a good year for the great deejays of the golden era of Jamaican music.
Following the passing of U-Roy in February, we lost Trinity (Wade Brammer) a few days ago.
He was 67.
Let’s have something […]

I find that we’re quite often on the same wavelength, retro, old boy!

Calling all Bill Evans fans…

This 3LP set of 1969 live recordings from the Netherlands sounds like it might be pretty good…

I see that one of Sue Records’ artists was Fannie Mae. Didn’t she go on to found a huge US mortgage corporation or something?

Let’s have something rather lovely from this year, shall we?
The reliably excellent Chuck Johnson from his splendid new album “The Cinder Grove”

Didn’t Tracy Chapman go back on stage and do a couple more numbers, to make up some of the time that Stevie would’ve had for his set?

Spem in Alium by Thomas Tallis sounds like the seventies. The 1570s.

… “One World”!

‘Threads’ quite simply scared the shit out of me.

1. Love Vlautin’s novels. Brilliant.
2. Really liked the last Delines album.
3. Have been rather disappointed by the Richmond Fontaine tracks that I’ve heard.

I see that one RSD release is a vinyl version of the Warren Zevon outtakes-and-demos collection “Preludes” (2007).
I’m a big Zevon fan, but I’ve never heard “Preludes”.
Does any Afterworder have this […]

I see that Peter McDougall’s “Just a Boy’s Game” will be coming out on the “Play for Today vol. 2” blu-ray set that Kjwilly mentioned above.

Re: THE PAIN.

Listen to Mr Steady on this point.

Re: “bald men are ugly” or “fat people – why don’t they go on a diet?”

Oj … jag känner mig träffad – TVÅ gånger….

I’m sad to hear that. “The Words in Between” is a very special album, with wonderful playing on it.

Erm … have we had any Tom Verlaine yet?
No? Well then I think we should.
This is a lovely solo from “Last Night” on TV’s eponymous debut album.
It starts at about 3:33.

I first heard that Maggie Holland song on an old Folk Roots covermount CD. An absolutely brilliant lyric.

I’m very pleased with the three Bandcamp purchases that I made last Friday. I think you might like ’em, too:

1. “Urban Driftwood” by Yasmin Williams. Beautiful instrumentals by African American harp-guitar […]

$750 for Santana’s entire set?
They were worth that for “Soul Sacrifice” alone!
