What are you listening to and WHY might anyone be interested? (Vol. XIV)
Posted by: Richard Dane on 31 December 2017
On the eve of a new year, it's time for a new thread.
Last year's thread can be found here:
1971 - Vinyl- UK first pressing...
Pink Floyd - Meddle.
Now Playing.......
Paul Simon - Graceland
Streaming on NAS........ Enjoying some toe tapping music after arriving home this evening! Paul is sounding mighty fine, just love this album, great music & lyrics and Paul's voice is sounding sweet!
Elvis Costello. This Year's Model. On original vinyl from 1978. Pumping it up with new wave/punk to start the evening.
Pretenders. Eponymous debut on original vinyl from 1979. Continuing my new wave/punk listening. Quite a brilliant and accomplished sounding debut album.
Another guy who basically has nearly zero lemons in his catalogue.
Joe Jackson. Look Sharp! On original vinyl from 1979. Continuing my new wave/punk listening with another fantastic debut album.
Refined playing, I like this...
Starting this morning with Beethoven.
Don't think I've ever heard anything by FBS but he's picked some good tracks for this compilation, including Spanish Stroll, I Love the Sound of Breaking Glass and Road Runner. From Bandcamp.

Streaming on TIDAL.......... A very enjoyable album A project with Ben and Paul that could not be completed with the passing of Paul, so Andrew joined to help complete the project along with Pete who appears on two of the tracks.
