    JJ Cale - 'Really'

    His second album but the first I've gotten to know. It's short, and so are a few of the other early ones so I'll be an expert on him in no time…

    Protobaby - 'Twisted Words'

    Their third album, from 2020. Watched a stream they did to launch it as well, v. good sound quality and guitarist Tony Monahan used only five different guitars.

    Snap! was my introduction to Paul Weller, December 1983.

    And the deluxe edition of 66 came yesterday & is on the stereo again this morning

    The sleeve of 66 is designed by Peter Blake who also did Sgt Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band.

    It's been a very long time since I had a listen to this.
    Takes me back a bit.

    A brilliant album that gets panned in some quarters due to it's length. It's so diverse - I love it.

    Hitsville UK might have a smattering of xylophone. Double LP with xylophone taking centre stage.

    Prior to that E-Z Rollers – Drumfunk Hooliganz (Moving Shadow, 1998)

    The second Altar of Plagues one, 'Mammal'

    It's solid without being spectacular, but my favourite thing about it is that the 52-minute running time is barely noticeable... always just seems like a normal 40-minute album

    Got this today.

    My Dying Bride - A Mortal Binding

    Pretty cool vinyl.

    Double Album but no tracks on side D, instead the album cover artwork is etched into the vinyl.

    Good album too

    ‘Dragon New Warm Mountain I Believe In You’ by BIG THIEF

    Usually not my cup of tea at all, emotional countryish singer songwriter stuff, but by god it's good.

    Adrianne Lenker played Vicar St in April and it was supposed to be amazing. I was humming and hawing about going to see them a couple of years ago and kind of wish I had. Good band alright.

    Got around to finally getting a copy of The Money Spyder - James Taylor Quartet. Must have seen them 5/6/7 times over the years.

    Penguin Cafe Orchestra by Penguin Cafe Orchestra.

    A random Youtube recommendation and the name and album cover piqued my interest, actually thought it was AI generated music.

    Brilliantly soothing. Perfect to have in the background at work. Delightful discovery and highly recommended. I've since listened to a few other albums of theirs but this is their best for me.

    V by Black Country Communion.

    The newest one from Joe Bonamassa and Glenn Hughes and co, more of the same from them, good album.

    Keep Me Fed by The Warning.

    Pop rock band from Mexico, snappy and to the point, fun music, one of my favourite albums released this year.

    Strange Times by the Chameleons (1986). A brilliant Manchester band that aren't as well known as they should be, but were frequently played on the excellent indie station Capitol Radio 95.8 in Dublin in the late 1980s. Standout tracks: Tears (both the main acoustic version and the electric version bonus track), Swamp Thing, In Answer. (In fact the full medley containing In Answer, from Time onwards is fantastic).

    Got a few cd's on discogs this week, one of them Lostboy! AKA Jim Kerr, I gave been listening to mostly. It is a bit of a depature from the Simple Minds style but a good listen.

    Into the Realm by Castle Rat

    Pure Black Sabbath worship, a bit short but a good album.

    Innuendo by Queen.

    It was the last one they released before Freddie passed away. There are some great songs but half of it is filler and lacks punch. Freddie just wasn't bringing it on this one but in fairness to him, I hear he had a few health problems at the time.

    The title track is a classic though, absolute tour de force and all 4 of them are firing on all cylinders.

    Agree, there's a few misfires.

    The previous album, The Miracle, is my favourite of the post-Greatest Hits era. Seriously underrated and the Super Deluxe Edition from a couple of years ago was really well done.

    The Miracle is absolutely brilliant. Very close second is A Kind of Magic. The singles were brilliant but I also love the Highlander tracks.

    I just picked up the first album based on hearing that song recently. I have mates who are big into them but they are new to me.

    Just listening to this now again.
    Got it last week, really good album. I only discovered there are 2 more in this set. Anyone else got them ?
    I am thinking I will order the rest.

    Carter USM - Post Historic Monsters (Deluxe Edition) - 3CD+DVD

    Nicely put together sets. This is the third one they've done after 30 Something and 1992: The Love Album. The debut 101 Damnations was on a different label so unlikely to get a reissue.

    The Dark Tower by Burning Witches.

    Old school eighties metal sound, hear Judas Priest and Iron Maiden in it, very good album.
