Up on the catwalk – track 1 on sparkle in the rain. an album i know from every one of my devices over the years, from vinyl, to tape, to cd, to mp3 – so I know when mel gaynor counts the band and the kitchen sink […]

good album as usual from Mcnabb – Making silver sing, one of the best songs he’s written in years. Worth an investment, if only to make sure he deems it worthwhile to make another one.

I was at that show too – Oasis were supposed to play until quite soon before the gig. Beautiful south covered ‘some might say’ to acknowledge who they had replaced that day.

and a fine first album it is.

Dubstar, very impressed on first listen, though less electronic than previous stuff, nice guitars in a johnny marr in electronic kind of way. Clearly not rushed, well crafted pop songs.

First album bought: Adam and the ants – Prince Charming
Last Album Bought: Bowie – Jim James – Uniform Clarity
Desert Island Album: Cardigans – Long gone before daylight
Last Album Listened To: Dubstar – O […]

listen to the coda of new day dawning and then listen to Don’t look back in anger – another wholesale lift from Noel Gallagher without acknowledgment

aside from moving your mp3’s, the other key thing to do is to make sure you don’t delete the itunes library file in the itunes folder and ensure itunes is directed to it when you reinstall. The files in this […]

spirit of eden – Talk Talk

Thanks for that, I’ll look into musicbee

The apple announcement was concerning as this will leave theitunes program vulnerable as there will no longer be any benefit to Apple to maintain it. Whilst it has its critics and is clunky and over engineered it […]

Just checked, amazon has 250,000 song limit

Amazon has similar service for about £20 a year, as far as I can tell it’s unlimited, have over 80,000 stored in the Amazon cloud at the moment. The upload system has improved a lot since it’s launch too.

Agree on the production, its very odd and probably deliberate for some reason known only to Jim but no other album has had a set of songs of that quality to my ears this year.

1. Jim o’Rourke – simple songs
2. Bill Ryder jones – west Kirby county primary
3. Bill Fay – Who is the sender
4. The Mynabirds – Lovers Know
5. The do – Shake, shook shaken
6. My morning jacket – the […]

Agree, you are missing out on some of their best work by stopping at ‘this is my truth’. The last 2 are as good as anything they’ve done, ‘rewind the film’ especially.

gave up 1280 days and 5 hours ago according to the nhs app which i’ve left on my phone just to see the savings so far – based on a very conservative estimate on cig spending , it claims i’ve saved £9,396.84. after […]
