ZZ Top - Live in Germany 1980
Lift Your Skinny Fists like Antenna's to Heaven! by Godspeed You Black Emperor. On CD
The Civil Wars
Double cassette set from Auntie Beeb. Played on the Nak there is no hiss on this whatsoever. Cassette is a great medium for spoken word and comedy.
Wild Beasts "Smother" (Spotify Premium US)

Sarah McLachlan "Surfacing" (Spotify Premium US)
Touch Featuremist. Cassette + book in a pouch. Very 1982. One of the reasons why having a cassette deck is important to me - a lot of stuff in the 1980s was released on tape only. This fabulously and confrontationally "arty" compilation has stuff by New Order, Tuxedomoon, Simple Minds, Soliman Gamil, The Death & Beauty Foundation, Flesh, Eric Random and Shostakovitch, excerpts from an interview with Robert Wyatt and other works from Vladimir Mayakovsky and Hans Eisler. Wonderful stuff.
Once again starting the weekend with The Heptones....it makes me feel so good....help doctor give me more!
