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:

This is one I overlooked last year. However having read some great reviews of their current tour,decided to give it a go. I am so glad I did, it is an excellent eclectic album between David Byrne and St Vincent’s Annie Clark. Chiefly constructed around brass band instrumentation it is difficult to describe, but it really grabs your attention. As does the strange cover photo.

After watching the Zeppelin documentary on Ch4 this week. Cow's appendices, who would have believed it!. G
Just warming up with Bob Dylan "Freewheelin' Outtakes - The Columbia Sessions, NYC, 1962" before I get to the main event this evening........Vol 10.....and these Freewheelin' Outtakes are absolutely fantastic early Dylan ...so full of energy and youth as if he has just walked off the street and strapped on his guitar and harp - which he probably did! 
Just received it on vinyl along with Vol 10.

Hi Tony.
Agree it's a genuine classic. This Japanese issue is also a joy.
Regards Graham.
In the mood. No waves here but a healthy thunderstorm running its course before sundown.
Listening to my benchmark [pretty awful sounding when I first bought it but surprisingly good now] record after a sneaky minor system change - and very impressed
Youth reminiscent - I think

Deceased - Surreal Overdose
This belongs to the "better death metal" category (there are of course other, but cover arts are a bit too disturbed to post here, like this isn't though ).
