The last Album You Listened to.

Sacred Reich - Surf Nicaragua.

Another band to play the delightful McGonagles back in the day.

Met the band who were as nice as pie outside before the gig.

Yeah they were outside the front door a couple of hours before the gig.

Got ticket signed as well by Greg, Wiley and Phil.

Had a nasty virus all week so only recovering and beginning to enjoy music again today. Thankfully the day was lifted by Telefís, Emma Ruth Rundle, Brahms, Carlos Montoya and now Torn & Roho.

Elton John's Greatest Hits last night -

Listening to it right now.
Gary Numan Intruder. Brilliant album.

Guided By Voices - La La Land

The Eight Legged Groove Machine reached #18 but the three subsequent albums made #5, #3 and #4 respectively.

I wonder what song it was?

Their 1989 concert in the SFX (Hup Tour) was oversold so the exit doors were open during the gig. Jammers.

I spent a while with some albums between yesterday and today (though I find my audio space taken up with podcasts lately).

Having been on a bit of a JJ72 vibe of late I recently unearthed their debut album and this, I To Sky, their second one. I To Sky is a bit harder to get into, compared to the debut, and it feels like a band really trying to switch gears. It's growing on me though.

False Lankum gets better with each listen. It really feels like I absorbed this album in misty (typically Irish) weather. I didn't realise until a couple of days ago that most, if not all of the songs are traditional folk songs/arrangements.

Emily Wolfe was the support act for The Gasight Anthem here a couple of weekends ago, and it was the first time in a while where I felt a support act upstaged the main act. This is her latest, and she kind of reminds me of Julien Baker vocally a little and QOTSA in some places.

Van Halen - 1984

Not an album but there is no faulting genius

This is an album and I'm definitely not jealous of the guitar playing

Back in 1986, I got a 4-in-1 stereo with a CD player. Please was my first disc and the first time I double-dipped (bought an album on both formats). This tradition has continued with every subsequent album of theirs. 15 not out.

They are - top of the duo pops - sales of over 100m

That Hardline album is excellent. He was seriously talented.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Piano_Concerto_No._2_%28Rachmaninoff%29

I asked someone during the week I worked with how her returning to the piano playing was going and mentioned I'd been listening to Rachmaninov earlier that morning - "His Piano Concerto No. 2 is the best"

1955 pressing - €2. The weight of it.

Violent Femmes - Violent Femmes

The Fall - 77-79: Early Years

Not exactly an album, but
Pink Floyd - Dark side of the moon in Dolby Atmos, Fabulous

Bowie - Legacy, savage album

It's unashamedly 1980's

And bang up to date………….

This could be Texas English Teacher

Debut album from this Leeds band. Pretty good on first hearing.

On now, last one before bed

That's a great comp. I bought the vinyl and 4CD versions of it.

The Now Yearbook series is highly recommended. They've done a good few years so far from 1970s to 1990s. 3LP - all coloured, 4CD Limited or 4CD standard. And 3CD Extra sets for each year too.

1991 comp for €5 - some tunes on it that apparently used to get played in The Haçienda
