I thoroughly enjoyed seeing Caravan at Gateshead Sage last night. The 'For Girls That Grow Plump' dominated set saw an astonishingly energetic performance from four guys nearer to 70 than 60, driven no doubt by their excellent, slightly younger new drummer. I've never heard 'A Hunting We Shall Go' or 'Nine Feet Underground' played with such vim. What really stayed with me was the palpable sense of fun that Messrs. Hastings, Richardson, Schelhaas, Leverton and Walker were having playing their still vibrant and eminently satisfying music to a small but enraptured crowd. Do go and see them if you get the chance.

Otherwise, these have featured in my listening this week:

Little Feat 'Waiting For Columbus'
Dr. Feelgood 'Sneakin' Suspicion'
Frank Zappa 'Waka/Jawaka'
Brian Eno 'Lux'
George Shovlin Band 'Got Blues If You Want It'
Rory Gallagher 'Against The Grain'
Caravan 'For Girls Who Grow Plump In The NIght' (natch!), 'Better By Far' (their most underrated album IMHO) and 'Back To Front'
Loop 'Fade Out'
Cabaret Voltaire 'Red Mecca'
Alice Cooper 'Easy Action'
Julian Cope 'The Followers Of Saint Julian'
Brinsley Schwarz 'Despite It All'
Dave Brubeck Quartet 'Jazz Impressions of New York'
Chet Baker 'Chet Is Back'
Chet Baker & Art Pepper 'Playboys'
Beethoven 1 & 3 from Frans Bruggen's new Beethoven symphony cycle
Berg Violin Concerto (Faust/Orchestra Mozart/Abbado)
Haydn String Quartets Op.50 (Tatrai Quartet)
William Mathias Violin Sonatas (Naxos bargain)

Have a great week, all.
