...which this week were:

Wire 'Chairs Missing'- primitive. Deep. Excellent;

Peter Gabriel 'Peter Gabriel' - the third album, easily his best;

Grateful Dead 'In The Dark' - from their underrated MTV period, fine album if time locked in the 80's;

John Foxx 'Metamatic' - where an artist answers his greatest imitator (Numan) by imitating him himself. Shameless wank;

Ultravox! 'Ha! Ha! Ha!' - where the aforesaid artist permeates his sick muse most effectively. Stunning. The single most unsung LP of the entire new wave;

Various 'Submarine Tracks And Fools' Gold' - fine compilation of early Chiswick label 45's. Takes me back;

Slowdive 'Just For A Day' - sounded better in '91 than now. A lot better. Ugh;

The Wendys 'Gobbledegook' - comments as per Slowdive above, with a double ugh;

Kiss 'Kiss Alive I' - that's better;

Richard Sinclair 'Live Tracks' - and that's better still. Knight this man, now.

Played a bit of Pat Metheny ('Travels'), Dave Brubeck ('Hidden Treasures') and Charlie Parker ('Complete Savoy & Dial Sessions') as well. But you don't like jazz* so I won't elaborate.

(*provocative comment purposely designed to inspire new thread)

Take care y'all
