Rush out and buy Abatoir Blues/The Lyre of Orpheus. I think its much better than Nocturama which is pretty crap by his standards. A return to form if not to his best. Non Cave fans could buy it for the lovely packaging.I also bought Marianne...

I've just come across this artist. Amazon's samples certainly do strike me as very Billie Holiday -- not a bad thing IMO. And FWIW 'Careless Love' is October Stereophile's recording of the month. She'll be playing in CO early next year, so if any...

The MOBOs were rubbish, and the MOS DEF tune taken from the forthcoming album 'The New Danger' and the Senegalise Hip Hop group Daara J were the highlights. regards Dev -- who really likes Mos Def
Taking a cue from MichaelC's mention of them on the "Power Pop" thread, I thought I'd see if there were any other fans out there.I'm a long-time devotee to "The Big Lad In The Windmill", and Francis' solo album "Fearless" is fantastic, to my ears, for...
