Neil Young - Comes a time

slayer-south of heaven

johnny thunders-so alone

I almost bought that LP the other day. Only 7 bucks, too. Why didn't I? I think I was turned off by the listing of the Motorcycle Mama song. I remember not liking that.

Is it worth a 7-buck purchase?

the velvet underground-s/t

Yes it is, the album contains some of his most beautiful acoustic ballads. Motorcycle mama is not representative of the rest of the album (fortunately).

Jeff Buckley - Sketches for My sweetheart the drunk CD 1

Squirrel Bait

i brought my laptop to UNI on thursadaay and copied a pile of cds from the mjsic library. this is something that i shall be doing often now. its great that i never have to buy classical, avant garde and world music cds again.
so last week i copied
shostokivich-symphonies 2,4,5,9,10
and his 14th and 15th string quartets.
and a collection of indian ragas.
im now listening to shostokovich's 14th string quartet.
btw how is his opera "the nose"?

and what thing of john cage should i get? i have a cd of his prepared piano, but im not sure where to go from there

In A Landscape is recommended early on.

St Vincent - White Session, Maison de la Radio, Paris December 12th, 2007 FM (from dime)

thanks. ill check and see if they have it tomorrow.

The Beatles - 1967-1970 (The Blue Album)

The Clash - The Clash (UK Version)

Another live cassette that I thought I'd lost - Cabaret Voltaire live at The Final Academy in 1982. First time I've listened to it for around 20 years. Not too bad considering I only had a hand held cassette recorder with a condenser mike. The tape's also got Bill Burroughs doing a reading at the same event.

Jeff Buckley - Stephen Talkhouse, Miami Beach, FL December 4th 1994

Nick Cave - Dig Lazarus Dig
Joan of Arc - Joan of Arc, Dick Cheney, Mark Twain

The Faith Healer - The Sensational Alex Harvey Band

I have visions of an embryonic Killing Joke playing this track when they first formed. They played it as intro music at all their recent gigs.

Dire Straits - Making Movies

Espresso love...

I love this Dire Straits album. I always have. I love how Knopfler sounds like Dylan only better, in his inflection. "Romeo and Juliet" chokes me up every time.

Burro Banton-Praise up Jah Jah
Courtney Melody-Screachie Cross the Border
Little Sound Boy
My Radio show...

Caesars - 39 Minutes Of Bliss (In An Otherwise Meaningless World)
Caesars - Paper Tigers

They used to be my favourite band, until I discovered the Ramones, and these albums aren't that bad, I still like some of the songs.

Tego Calderon - The Underdog
