Only got into Siouxsie lately, it sometimes amazes me the bands I missed while buying REO Speedwagon LPs!

I agree, I find I am much more open minded now I am older, back in my youth I was very narrow minded in my musical taste. I see the pattern repeating itself with my sons, despite my efforts to give them a broad musical education, across all genres.
Great album, by the way, that I was enjoying at the time.

St Anthony: An Ode to Anthony H Wilson by Joe Duddell and Mike Garry, on 12" vinyl. A poem set to music (in this case New Order's Your Silent Face, rearranged for synth and violins). The music is wonderful, the words heartfelt and sometimes clever, although Garry's Manc accent grates a bit (although I am a Cockernee, would say that wouldn't I?).
Am listening because I was with a load of old music hacks the other night, swapping war stories, and the subject of Mr Wilson came up.
Bowie: Crystal Japan/Alabama Song on 7" Japanese vinyl. A beautiful little thing - someone else was playing it on this thread last week, thought I should drag it out.
Feeling kind of spacey. On vinyl:

Joining in with this one Kevin.
The Dead Weather
A blast of the Stooges on vinyl before heading out to the pub before the WHU/Chelsea game:
Van Zweden's Bruckner 8 is a grower - the initial movements are somewhat conventional, but what Van Zweden and the Dutch radio troops get out of IV. is quite simply out of this world. High-res was invented for this - I'm listening to 24/96 but it's available in DSD256 for those of us with the capability and wallet to do it justice.

Trying out some country with Lindi Ortega as seen occasionally on here.
Monty Alexander in Tokyo – Reissue Vinyl
Arrived yesterday from Music Matters what a fantastic album..
Although late onto the British Blues scene this album is a fine album of that genre.
This never leaves our coffee table, always handy to be played, giving us limitless joy.

After a bit of a false start I'm starting to get into this band.
A bit of 80s disco funk from Millie...
Original vinyl 1982 UK Spring label.
Sometimes, it just has to be Zappa. One Size Fits All, is an all thriller, no filler album. You will either love it, or hate it. Percussion is very muscular, and incredibly musical to chromatic, in places. My arms are aching, just listening to it. CD rip via jriver.
Tried to get hold of "Harry Belafonte Live at Carnegie Hall today, but couldn't find it. So I bought "The Best of Harry Belafonte" instead.
