Elvis Presley, Boy From Tupelo; great selection of his early sides, I bought it at Starbucks(!). There's only a couple of obvious chestnuts (Blue Suede Shoes), the rest are just fabulous R'n'B, ballads and rockabilly. Reminds you of how great and original E. was in his mid-50's heyday.

The first Madeleine Peyroux CD - Dreamland after the good experience I have had with her new one and Elgar Violin Concerto/Lark Ascending - Hilary Hahn.

It's a funny old thing - 2 cd's of Pixies songs, one the original demo that became Come On Pilgrim all those years ago, one a re-recording in a 're-interpretation' stylee of some Pixies standards.
Essential? Well, no and yes. The demo cd is as rough as a badgers behind but it really works; the re-interpretation is bizarrely like a cd of semi-accoustic cover versions with additional squeaks, honks and effects. Bluesy in places, bonkers in others.
As the man says in the liner notes - 'messing with the gospel' indeed.
I don't think it will serve as a good introduction to the Pixies for the uninitiated (if such a person exists - perhaps some hermit somewhere isn't a fan), but for the nerdy completist in us all it's an interesting addition.
All IMO, of course.

I've only listened to the first CD, and it was pleasant enough without blowing my socks off. All instrumental, quite dark, throbbing and pulsating. That kind of thing.
The second cd is some sort of live performance - not usually my thing but I'll check it out in the next day or so. It's supposed to be principally instrumental as well.
Already it is about 20 gazillion times better than Scorpio Rising, which I thought was crap.
Have you checked out The Prodigy's latest? It's fab.

Alexis Petridis hates Death In Vegas, which is almost enough to make me like it, but the review makes some interesting comparisons for you.
Krautrock Lite?
He gives Dirty Vegas a real caning as well - calling it 'Mike And The Mechanics Go To Ibiza'. Which, having heard it, is fair enough.

Aaahhh..
'Tis a dangerous precedent you set here Howard, bringing 'Padded Cell' tendencies to the relative sanity of the Music Room...
Or, you could just be paranoid

Leonard Cohen has landed-'Dear Heather'
My wife spent the evening listening on 'repeat' in her studio and pronounced it less slinky than 'Ten New Songs' (which she loved) but still very enjoyable. Looking forward to hearing it myself at some point....
