What are you listening to and WHY might anyone be interested? (Vol.IX)
Posted by: Richard Dane on 01 January 2013
With 2013 upon us, it's time to start a fresh thread. I've gone back to an earlier thread title because often the "why" is the most interesting part of the post.
Anyway, links:

Cyril Snear - Fluent In Seven Types Of Monotone
listen & buy for a bargain price- http://cyrilsnear.bandcamp.com...en-types-of-monotone
Based on a recommendation from the Forum a week or so ago (and I apologize but I can't remember who it was; I think I know, but I don't want to slight someone.)
I recommended Fela to someone recently, but can't remember if it was you or not.
Glad someone else is enjoying him.
I thought it was you Kevin, and you did recommend him to someone else, but what you said was enough to get me searching. I ended up getting this one and "Expensive Shit/He Miss Road".

Vinyl. Universal Japan version.
Inspired by the guitarist thread
"Mick Ronson is easily one of the most underrated musicians of the rock era. A first rate arranger and a sublimely talented multi-instrumentalist whose fiery lead-guitar work for David Bowie's Ziggy-era band The Spiders from Mars proved to be a huge influence on both the Punk and Post-Punk movements of the late-seventies and early eighties."
"Overall, the production on Slaughter on 10th Avenue is consistently gorgeous and Ronno's guitar-work is spectacular (as usual), and while this is indeed a strange album that ultimately pales in comparison to the Bowie albums it, in many ways, tries to mimic, it still manages to feel like an essential document of a brief but inspired moment when pop hooks and high art could be taken in a single dose."

Bloody Macs! This was the album I was listening to yesterday morning! It is still being played.
Allan Taylor - Hotels & Dreamers. Just bought it. Highly recommended. Souns a lot like Leonard Cohen. Very good lyrics too.

The Dead at Barton Hall, Cornell University in May 1977. A legendary gig in great sound quality.
Ultra-popular tune on it; there is an amazing youtube clip from Indonesia.
