(2011)

After spending all of this wet afternoon sorting through and fixing the muddled metadata of a 15 CD Frank Sinatra Box set, this ramped up modern Pendragon is making a pleasant change. 

Band Of Horses  -  "Why Are You OK"  (2016)

1978 - No 5hit, Sherlock. It's so bad, it's actually brilliant.

The Temper Trap  -  "Thick As Thieves"  (2016)

First listen to this and I'm liking it a lot. They seem to have gone back twenty years to the style of their early albums and its worked really well for me. 

1970 - Original vinyl...

I was listening to Stan Getz the other day and this in an interesting take on the sub-genre.

Is this a new Garbage album, Steve? If so, I've missed its release!

A couple of good trax but for me a poor attempt at heartland rock ala Mellencamp.

The Eagles, their debut album from 1972 which contains one or two classic songs but is enjoyable through-out. Original vinyl

Enjoying a first listen to this  - as you say, very relaxing "late" night (for me anyway) listening.  Nice recommendation Haim.

I really enjoyed it Mike, I'm sure that you will too, particularly if you prefer their original albums Garbage and V.2; its on Tidal, I can't remember if you have that? Enjoy!
