What are you listening to right now? And why? (VOL IV)

Never really been a favourite disc of mine Stu but Where Have all the Cowboys is a great track

Party like it's 1969

Just received this hand screened limited to 5000 copies album via the album club (cannot get that feeling from a download ), my Alt.Country/Americana collection grows.

This was recorded by the band themselves on an island in the Atlantic called Block Island and should be palyed to all Music execs to show how it should be done, superb.







Dean....

Vinny Peculiar - Ironing the Soul.

Saw him a couple of years ago backed by the rear half of the Smiths....

Choros,Vol.3 von John Neschling, Sao Paulo SO, und Heitor Villa-Lobos

A guy also called Dean (great name) played some John Foxx at the Pork Pie Show on sunday so he's on my to get list.

System was a 30 year old Marantz amp, Pioneer CD player, Living Voice speakers and what a cracking sound.

Waiting for my copy to drop in the letterbox anytime soon. It has received some good reviews so await your verdict. By the way he has recruited a superb cast of musicians.

Adrian,
it's on repeat - really very good.

I listened to the vinyl version of Leucocyte earlier and all I can say is wow! It's a better pressing than New York Days, which doesn't sound shabby but needs a turn on the record cleaner, which is poor for brand new, sealed product.

The more I listen to Mark Kozelek, the more I love his music, and that has gone on for eight years now.

Thanks. I have the Leucocyte vinyl and it looks superb. Should get the Rava when released here next week.

For now, whilst I await the new Danielsson, an old one.

First time I've listened to him, not too bad actually.

Yep,I could see you liking that one.

Is that representative of his albums?

Together with Accelerate (in the post), this completes my studio R.E.M. albums.

It is the easy end of his repertoire. Some of his earlier albums are more jazzy and better IMHO.

He does it for me.
Just need to get more of his music.
Many thanks Jamie for the heads up to his music last year.

'Old Ramon' by Red House Painters 1997, released 2001(which has 'Void' and 'River') and 'April' by Sun Kil Moon 2008, would be the two I would recommend to start with.
