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:

After uncounted listenings - still mesmerizing.
Last track No.13; having coffee; volume needs higher and higher; now 11 o'clock position; when Godard starts his strange-shaped 'serpent' ; thin coffe-cup - spoon inside - starts to resonate gently.

Listening to the below at the moment, another album a customer bought in, I would never have thought it was my kind of music, Arabian Trumpet jazz, but I absolutely love it, well worth a listen if you haven't tried it -
Ibrahim Maalouf - Diagnostic

If your a Fan of Steve Albini , Big Black and the like then this is worth a listen .
Bellini's best work, Norma, in the controversial recording by Bevery Sills.

Bill Deasy "Start Again", new release from a personal favorite
Bob Dylan "The Bootleg Series Vol 1 - Vol 3: Rare and Unreleased, 1961-1991"
listening to Vol 3
On CD:-
Elliott Smith "Roman Candle"
... followed by Sutherland's second recording. She was audibly near the end of her career by the time of this recording, and that's a rather noticeable stain on an otherwise very good recording.
