Lucky man. Don't know what it is that she does not like about Sydney. She has not been here once as far as I am aware. Enjoy.

Kelly,
Nice to see another MR fan - a woefully under appreciated artist. Thanks for the link.

Jeff A

ps. downloading the new album at amazon as I type, thought this persons thoughts on MR quite true:

"It was the summer we were living in Paris. The early evening was sunny and warm, and I had a business dinner a mile down the Seine, so I walked. For company, I had my iPod. I plugged in my professional-grade headphones, dialed up Matthew Ryan's most recent CD, Regret Over the Wires, and started walking.

It wasn't long before I was weeping for joy. All the planets were aligned. I was off to meet a prestigious client at a chic restaurant, and then I'd go home --- in Paris! --- to my wife and child. Work, money, love. All present. And, linking them, was beauty: Matthew Ryan's music, which was wise about the struggle for happiness and wiser still about tunes and lyrics you just can't shake.

And you probably have never heard of Matthew Ryan.

This is a good time to discover him --- Matthew Ryan Vs. The Silver State may be his best effort yet. The lyrics range from the merely gorgeous ("And in pulling off her scarf/ I let go/ It floated like a wounded bird/ Her mouth the shape of Spanish words") to ordinary self-loathing ("I'm living on Jupiter/ I couldn't feel stupider"). And the music can be so anthemic and ebullient that, when the Irish-sounding violin kicks in, our little girl dances a gig.

Think: Leonard Cohen meets The Clash, Bruce Springsteen meets Nick Drake.

I could bang on at length about Matthew Ryan as a life-enhancer whose hand-carved music will do wonders for your disposition, but you'll do better to sample his work and read my conversation with him. He's a man with ideas, and determination, and a real set of values, and that comes out in his talk as surely as it does in his music.

Prepare to be challenged. And rewarded. And, if you're lucky, moved to tears with the pleasure of discovering a great talent. " ........

Lizz certainly would be more relaxing for a Friday night...

Prophetic.

Simon and Garfunkel "Live 1969"

My favourite Genesis album.

Howlin Wind - as I wrote to a friend earlier today, if this doesn't get you wanting to pour gravy on your biscuits, then you have no soul. Discovery of 2008 for me.



I'm not there - OST, very good selection of Dylan covers especially those involving Calexico

Orbe/SME-IV/Kontra-B, but soon be changing to my trusty DV20XL and then it'll be

on the black stuff
