Bronski Beat- The Age of Consent.
Bought for 10p in a charity shop; it's aged pretty well.

Greg Kihn Band- Kihnspiracy.
Also 10p in the same shop; this hasn't aged well at all.

The Electric Soft Parade- The American Adventure.
Their overlooked second album. Justifiably so, I'm afraid.

Steppenwolf- S/T.
Filler, yes, but some good churning period rock too, and with Born To Be Wild and The Pusher on board you can't go too far wrong.

The Television Personalities- A Memory Is Better Than Nothing.
Classic TVPs, to my ears; not as harrowing as My Dark Places, but no Killers covers as on the last album either.

The Chap- Well Done Europe.
More sardonic and polished deadpan electro, but with maybe more of a commercial pop nous? Good stuff, anyway.

The Sound Carriers- Celeste.
Excellent kraut-psych-lounge-jazz in a Broadcast vein; seen live in Lewes over the weekend they had a more guitar-y, almost Doors edge too.

Marc Bolan- The Beginning of Doves.
Still enjoying this very much.

Van Morrison- It's Too Late To Stop Now.
On a summer's night you could almost be there.

The Rolling Stones- Their Satanic Majesties' Request.
They tried to go psychedelic, and they made a punk record instead.

And live this week: Julian Cope, David Wrench, and the 2 day Lewes Psychedelic Festival over the weekend: in a Norman church adorned with splendid old school oil slide projections by the Innerstrings Lightshow, I saw marvellous sets from Diagonal, Voice of the Seven Thunders, Sound Carriers and Kontakte, and a summer Saturday afternoon sat drinking Rectory ale in a graveyard with good company and DJs playing everything from Aphrodites Child to Screamadelica was very heaven.
