1) The pre-recording run through of the title track of King Crimson's Islands currently available as a free download from the DGMLive! website. The mellotron naked. Sometimes simplicity is best. http://dgmlive.com/kc/ Subscribe and download Fripp and Eno's 1975 Paris gig too..... 2) Robert Fripp - A Blessing of Tears...An album recorded by someone who's been bereaved. It shows..... 3) Johnny Cash - American V - A Hundred Highways ..immortal.....4) Neil Young - On The Beach...see the sky about to rain. Sitting feet away from him in Manchester while he nailed Ambulance Blues I did wonder if, like I have done with others, eg Morrison, Green and most recently Thompson, it would be best if it was the last gig of his that I went to..quitting on a high. One more time with the Horse..... 5) Boards of Canada - Music Has The Right To Children; a classic.....6) The Necks - piano,bass,drums .. Unoverdubbed live brilliance. Another classic, only nobody's heard of it. Like Can, a different kind of music. Like, uh, Unsung, man. As long as they're still touring I'll be out gigging. Three weeks till their UK minitour. http://thenecks.com Tix still available.....be there or be somewhere else. If you do the latter, though and you're within travelling distance you're missing something..but each to their own.... 7) Kate Bush - Directors Cut .. I'm still playing this even if nobody else here is. Tattybye Diddyfolk :)

Two from BBC Radio ...

Brian Gulliver's Travels - BBC Radio Comedy
Far and away my favourite radio comedy since the first Boosh series and possibly even Hitchhiker's Guide.

Composing LA - BBC Radio 4 Documentary
Golden Age of Hollywood documentary about the role emigree European composers' played in developing the sound of cinema from the 30s on.
http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio/player/b01m0lv4

Morton Feldman, Piano and String Quartet - Kronos Quartet
Stay Awake - Hal Willner et al
Various - The Romance of Korngold
Destroyer Resurrected - Kiss
River, The Joni Letters - Herbie Hancock et al
Epitaph - Mingus
Dream Police- Cheap Trick
Christmas & The Beads Of Sweat - Laura Nyro
Feel Good Lost - Broken Social Scene
Musorgsky Pictures At An Exhibition - Sergiu Celibidache: SWR Stuttgart Radio Symphony
Guinnevere - Miles Davis (track)
Mimosa (two versions) - Herbie Hancock (track)

last and least

Three new albums from Omar Rodriguez Lopez
The Miles Davis of contemporary Post-Punker-Jazz-Prog finally comes up dry with three rather unadventurous and (to my ears) dreary electronica albums. A recent interview has him claiming that he wants to be more collaborative with his bandmates rather than dictatorial. No wonder listening to these three. It sounds like he needs the spark / help. Then again 30 albums into his short solo career he was due a bad patch.

Goat - World Music
Oh yes. This album is FUN! Makes me wish we'd had a really hot summer.

Baroness - Yellow & Green
Really enjoying this. Lots of growers. Excellent rock album.

The Heads - Enten-Eller
Kevin Ayers - The Harvest Years box
Liars - WIXIW

You're Smiling Now But We'll All Turn Into Demons - Contact High
This is great, can't wait for my copy of the latest one to arrive. Wish I'd caught their set at Supernormal too.

V/A - Electric Eden
Great compilation. Critics have said it is limited in its scope, but that doesn't stop me enjoying it.

Om - Adviatic Songs
Wow. Really really good.

Baltic Fleet - Towers
Krauty synth album of pop stuff. Good fun. Sounds great in the car.

Uncle Acid and the Deadbeats - Blood Lust
On purple speckled vinyl! Hoorah for proper rock!

Kogumaza - S/T
This groovy album still getting lots of plays at Tempest Towers. Top.

Lumerians - S/T
Bloody brilliant trippy rock sound. Transparent vinyl! Yeah!

And a bunch of 7"s:

Sylvester Angfang II - John Chang's Kosmische Handen
Space Men 3/ Sun Araw split
Gnod - 5th Sun

all 3 of those renew my faith in the 7" as a great medium for rock.
