Strolled into town, bought:

Reputed to have reworks of Public Image Ltd backing tracks, so will be a useful selection, and will remind me to pull out Molam Dub again (Ian - got it yet?)
DS
ITIR - Air Liquide - Tongues of Fire

Stevie Wonder:Music of my Mind - purely for Mary Wants to Be A Superwoman.The rest is
ok-ish but no "Talking Book".
Have another couple of listens to this. It's a great album and in some ways more coherent than Talking Book (or Innervisions, or Songs...., it has a similar feel to Fullfilingness in fact... IMO). Ultimately I'd say it might not be quite up there with these 4 but it is very close.

Thought it was about time I contributed to this thread. I got delayed in Bristol the other day so killed some time in HMV and ended up with some great bargains including Robert Johnson's Complete Collection (didn't fancy Clapper's effort and this was only £3.99!). So now this stays on the CD player in the music room whilst "King of the Delta Blues Singers" stays on the player in the bedroom.
Great stuff.

Bjork: Medulla: a wonderful record - see new thread for more thoughts.
Bill Frisell: Unspeakable: a collaboration with Hal Wilner, whose tribute records I used to really enjoy - the Disney one was a personal fave. This is vey different to recent Frisell, some very abrasive, angular playing, some duets with decks, some pieces played against cellos and large sections sounding like 70s funk in the Superfly vein. Interesting!
Neu: 75: recommended by other boarders on the Can thread. Sound worth having on first listen but hasn't got past Bjork in terms of playing time. I can see why it's thought of as having been influential on Sonic Youth, Stereolab etc.

Black Keys- Rubber Factory (More bluesy garage rock and crooning, this time with a bit less garage. A little patchy but still good. The first single is wicked.)
Drive-By Truckers- The Dirty South (Another gritty collection of soulful southern rock, this time slightly more polished. One of the best rock n' roll bands out there.)
I passed on the new Bjork. I just can't do it.

Today I bought:
John Zorn, Music For Children. I imagine social services would have something to say to Zorn if he actually had children
Virgin Prunes, Sons Find Devils. Live compilation, David Slater's mention of the Prunes in another thread reminded me that I haven't heard any of their records for a very long time
Jah Wobble/Evan Parker, Passage to Hades
Jah Wobble, Molam Dub
DAT Politics, Go Pets Go
The Magnetic Fields, I
And about half a ton of secondhand jazz vinyl, as usual.

AGEING BOOMER IN BEATLESQUE CD SHOCKER
Cotton Mather, The Big Picture; Noel Gallaghers' favourite new band of a couple years ago; the proof is the tune "40 Watt Solution" which our magpie Noel nicked for Oasis' "(Probably) All In The Mind". Anyway, a brilliant Lennonesque record, the sort of thing I spend most of my time hunting in vain for. I should also mention the Honeydogs' "10,000 Years", a wunnerful concept album(!!!) in a similar Beatlesque vein; also Finn Bros. "Everyone Is Here" if you've been missing what Crowded House were doing in the early '90s.

What's this like? Their new one is a Top 5 '04 Ludwig sort of album.

Re:The black keys
Makes we want to take my old Les Paul down to the garage and give it a damn good thrashing. Played this CD twice so far, very raw, very real. Good stuff.

Excellent. FWIW (and it probably isn't much) I posted a few pics of their show from last weekend in the Black Keys Rubber Factory thread. Also, give "Big Come Up" a try if you want it even more raw (ouch).

Checked the thread thanks. You also mentioned the drive by truckers. I played a few clips of the "The dirty south" on the web recently which seemed pretty good to me so might invest in a copy. In fact I saw Southern rock opera in the shops today, but at £18.99 had to decline.

Spock,
"The Dirty South" would be a wise purchase as IMHO it's the best Drive-By Truckers album. The storytelling is vivid and enjoyable. If you get a chance to see them live, make the effort. I don't say this lightly, but they're unrivalled. Four hour marathons aren't out of question.
