Latest haul from the second-hand shop:

  • Dr John - In the right Place
  • ELO - Out of the Blue
  • Grace Jones - Nightclubbing
  • Paul Simon - Rhythm of the Saints
  • Richie Havens - On Stage

Only listened to the Grace Jones album so far. Amazing production, great playing, some good songs, some not so hot. 'Feel up' especially, belongs in the latter category.

After twenty years I've been listening to some My Bloody Valentine - hasn't aged too badly at all.

For those who like the ska-reggae thing, also check out Westbound Train and Bedouin Soundclash. Great tunes, very talented musicians.

I used to have 'Wildflowers' but don't any more. It may have been mislaid during a move or I might have given/lent it to someone.

What I would recommend (if you haven't got it already) is the DVD/CD set 'Runnin' down a Dream'. A 2-DVD documentary, directed by Peter Bogdanovich, a live concert DVD and a CD of miscellaneous tracks (mainly alternate takes). Superb stuff. :)

Just got a power supply upgrade for my DAC. It made quite a difference! Familiar music sounded more real, while unfamiliar details appeared in music I thought I knew pretty well. I foresee marathon listening sessions this weekend. :)

I have bought a Cyrus Pre Amp and have been doing the same hence the Tom Petty listening session.

I'm certain I just saw the brilliant Third World guitarist Stephen Cat Coore in the crowd at the cricket T20 semi. It reminded me to dig out this classic live performance of 96 Degrees in the Shade.
