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:

One of the truly great talents to emerge in the past decade. We're seeing her in Vancouver in December.
The perfect music to prepare for an intense November at work.

On freshly cleaned vinyl:-
R.I.P. Lou.
As an album title, Hits is an intentionally ironic misnomer for one of Australia's most influential rock bands of the late '70s and early '80s. Having "hits" was the furthest thing from the Birthday Party's collective mind over the course of five tumultuous years that followed the group's move to England from Down Under; the members reviled anything that hinted at mainstream acceptance.
Impressive first play of The Opium Cartel - Ardor
Dave Matthews Band "Away From The World"

Kevin,
Where would you recommend I start with e.s.t?
I don't have any of their albums and would like to know which one to start with.
Listened to a few samples and they all sound very good, their 'very best of' maybe?
Will have to be on vinyl though.
Many thanks,
Andy.
Hi Andy
"Retrospective" is a decent 2009 compilation, available on vinyl. The best two albums IMO are "Tuesday Wonderland" and "Leucocyte" - only the latter is available on LP as far as I know.
The posthumous "301", from last year, is also on the black stuff and also very very good.
Kev,
i have the 'live in hamburg' box on order, it's around 40 quid for 4 x LPs which is good value for money considering it's class, i'm really looking forward to it! : )
Andy
Agree with Kev on 'Retrospective', my double vinyl gets a lot of plays,
although i will include to say; on vinyl it makes the perfect e.s.t. album to start with imo.
Debs
Brilliant stuff, thanks to you all for your advice!!!
'Retrospective' ordered on vinyl, really looking forward to hearing it.
Thanks again all,
Andy.
