What can you get for a fiver these days? "Nancy & Lee" that's what!

The Great Jazz Trio-From L.A. Hank Jones, Ron Carter and Tony Williams, not too shabby

And now this; an album which I believe should be in every collection. Raising Sand- Robert Plant & Alison Krauss [emoji5]

The fun nostalgia trip continues (again on CD). *PS: My nostalgia isn't for the CD's, having played three now today, but they certainly have their place and I have enjoyed them.

Hi All, As I am currently in Melbourne, playing some silver discs today: JJ

Horace Silver, 1959, Blowin' The Blues Away. Blue Note ‎7243 4 95342 2 3. Series: RVG Edition, Reissue, Remastered US 1999.

Time for some quality Electronica, and a flashback as well! Massive Attack- Mezzanine Dark and brooding, and simply outstanding... :-)

Had never heard of this guy until very recently. Very much hard bop, but solid and pretty darn satisfying. Does a sight more with only three fingers on his right hand than I manage with five.

If you followed Melbourne's alt scene in the mid 80's you would have seen these guys, I have a few of their releases on vinyl, however they never quite captured their essence in the studio, live they were in their element! That's Andrew Pendlebury (The Sports) on blistering guitar and Mark Ferrie (The Models, Sacred Cowboys and Rockwiz Orchestra) on bass https://www.discogs.com/artist/1238485-The-Slaughtermen

Weekend listening.... LRB - Sleeper Catcher - AUS press...a couple of superb tracks for a Sunday morn wake-up. Slint - Spiderland - Us repress.. getting much more into this on vinyl. KD Lang - Ingenue remastered - top stuff. Sigur Ros - Ágætis Byrjun - lovely recent repress, a sweet listen. Mastodon - Once More Round The Sun - original press and sounds fukcn' huge. Julia Jacklin - Don't Let The Kids Win - blue vinyl Us press. Lovely downtempo choons.. Stereophonics - Language Sex Violence Other - the only one of the recent represses I rate, and that's doesn't

McCoy Tyner-The Real McCoy - Yes He IS !!

Art Pepper, 1957, The Return Of Art Pepper. Blue Note ‎ CDP 7 46863 2. Series: The Complete Art Pepper Aladdin Recordings – Volume One. Reissue US 1988.

4 corners of a dream from Nick Oliveri's "a drug problem that never existed" is another great ML track, one of my favourites, and one I don't listen to enough...

Screaming Trees ‎– Dust. original US pressing. the final studio album is a ripper. has probably my fav Lanegan song - All I Know.

@stevoz when I was at my parents house at Christmas I discovered my original LP of the B-52s Cosmic Thing; needless to say I brought it home with me! Might give it a spin later! [emoji4]

Damon Albarn - Everyday Robots. wonderfully depressing self effacing album from the Blur frontman.

Amaranthe - Massive Addictive The first time I heard these guys and girl me and my son were scrolling through YouTube looking at Nightwish type bands. The first song of theirs we heard we looked at each other and went WTF!? Truly a gem of a find. Makes you wonder how many other bands are out there waiting for you to stumble across them.

Betty Davis-Is It Love Or Desire , got he new reissue of Nasty Gal on order

this was the epitome of the B52's sound!

Enjoy it Wiffle. Playing EOTS has taken me back about ten years and now I'm onto this, which came out in the same year(2008), again on CD: Great fun, as this band always are!

I really like the first half of this album, but I think the second half is not of the same high standard; perhaps pressure to release the album made them rush a little bit. Still, you've inspired me to spin it later today; thanks mate! [emoji5]

After hearing a grab from it on the tennis coverage and thinking "yeah", I put this on (CD....haven't got the vinyl of this), having not heard it for ages: Great sounds and an emotionally strong album.

Richard Ashcroft - These People - last solo album from 2016 and its easily his best imo.

Always worth hitting the Lifeline Bookfest. Great couple of hours browsing old records while my other half browses the books.

3 currently available on discogs from €16.

Tonight called for something a bit more abrasive than my recent listening trends. At The Drive In - in•ter a•li•a:

QOTSA- Villains. I've struggled to like a lot of QOTSA since Nick O left; he brought a certain darkness/heaviness to the mix. I do like this, though; and after just listening to LZ Houses of the Holy, I can hear the influence here. [emoji5]

I've seen him perform twice. Once at Dallas Brooks Hall in Melbourne in about '85 and in '78 at the Festival Hall in Adelaide. That Adelaide concert is very very close to being the best concert I've attended.

Love it! Jarrett must be the best impro-player around. Pity he's such an arsehole. Have a look at his rant at the Umbria jazz fest. At least when asked why you used to play electronics back in with Miles Davis but you won't touch them now, so his response was "when Miles asked, you you do". I can listen to his music for hours, but the Kiln concert almost never happened as he disputed that the piano delivered from Steinway wasn't the one he selected. It was pointed out the serial numbers match, but theres a 20 degree temp difference, I love him, but he's nuts.

Irreversible Entanglements: self titled Another great 2017 release.

Anouar Brahem - Blue Maqams

Headin' south for 40 minutes.

Burial ‎– Young Death / Nightmarket - 12 inch. I wonder if Burial will ever release another album - its been 10 years of singles and ep's. this is bloody good thou

there is a Claro Intelecto album about to come out which I am very excited for. and so listened to his first album today.

Chemical Brothers - Born in the Echos

I've the same and have the rest of his on vinyl but am liking his previous releases more than this one. It may need to grow on me. Or my tastes have changed a bit. Was listening to Boards of Canada - The Campfire Headphase as Ninja Tune shut down its forum. I had been an active member there for the last seventeen years and it is a shame to see the end of an era given the number of talented people who were regulars but life moves on.
