Grateful Dead - So Many Roads Blondie - Parallel Lines (Remastered) Me'Shell Ndegeocello - Comet, Come To Me The Faces - Final Concert Kilburn State Theatre Rod Stewart - Olympia 24.12.76 The Faces - Swing in, The Faces live at The Marquee Charlie Watts Jim Keltner Project Feist - Look At What The Light Did Now PFM - Paper Charms-The Complete BBC Recordings 1974-1976 Todd Rundgren At The BBC 1972-1982 Santana III Legacy Edition Nina Simone - Sings The Blues Rolling Stones - 1976 UK Tour Documentary https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IgJQ5B-vPIg Funny thing about watching this and the Rod show from the same year is that despite being pilloried at the time for selling out, Rod's far and away the more expressive singer (Jagger just drawls his way through the songs in a kind mockney Texan drawl). The recent live box set also attests to the fact that Rod was turning in performances far truer to the spirit of The Faces than the Stones were to their own heritage at that time. Drummers aside he had the more on-it band too. Harem pants not withstanding there is a lack of cynicism in the Rod show that I really like despite (or possibly even because of) the reggae Maggie May outro and the disco-fied Losing You. By comparison the Stones performances and the Jagger and Richards interviews are cringe worthy. The 75 concert film shows them already on the skids but still just about stands up because the material is so strong and Ronnie Wood is so great on it. Would surprise no one to learn that the band's drop off in performance levels between 73 and 76 was most likely down to drug use. Benefit of hindsight and all that but I can't believe I ever thought that Keith or Perrett or Thunders were cool in their hazy incoherence.

Amadou & Miriam - Dimanche a Bamako. A rather jolly affair Mary Hampton, Diamond Family Archive and 30 pounds of Bone @ Falmouth Uni 25.4.15 Gnod - Infinity Machines. Don't how I've missed this lot - this being the first album I have heard. As good as people make out round these 'ere parts. Wasn't so keen on the White Hills one though Paul Smith & Peter Brewis - Frozen by Sight. Reminiscent of Penguin Cafe Orchestra I thought. Quite enjoyable for it too Rozi Plain session for Marc Riley. New album shaping up to be her best yet methinks Sarah Lowes - Marc Riley sessions Lilacs & Champagne - S/T

White Hills - Walks for Motorists Goat - Commune Steve Hackett - Wolflight Gong - Expresso II Jethro Tull - This Was / Benefit Hawkwind - Warrior on the Edge of Time Beatrix Players - Words in Lemon Juice And from the library, Blues Pills - ST. Like this a lot. (Yet More) Retro blues/psyche rock from Sweden with a fab, female singer who sonically recalls the fab Inga Rumpf from Frumpy. The music isn't a million miles away from Frumpsville either, albeit with more modern riffage attached. Johnny Marr - The Messenger. Solo album and nice it is too. Rockier in parts than some might expect with some great melodies as you might expect. He's a capable vocalist too, though it's weird that on the rockier stuff he sounds a bit like Ace Frehely! Strange that they're both lead guitarists gone solo of iconic (if extremely different!) four piece bands. Not heard the most recent album, but I like this. Wilko Johnson/Roger Daltrey - Going Back Home. Musically, this is great, but it's, to my ears, hampered by Daltrey delivering more or less every song as if he's trying to squeeze out a huge, concrete turd. I know Daltrey has the rnb/mod credentials, but I wish Wilko had given Paul Rodgers or someone a call. I like it, but I wince a lot listening to it. Have a nice week x

Repeat plays this week for: Frank Sinatra Songs For Swinging Lovers Absolute classic Sinatra album, hardly a dud and some wonderful numbers (I've Got You Under My Skin is my favourite from it). Come Fly With Me A couple of years later, another great one. Essentially a concept travelogue album, via Paris, Mandalay, Brazil, etc concluding with the homecoming "It's Nice To Go Trav'ling" although the CD adds a few more, which kind of spoils the neatness of the idea. Duke Ellington and John Coltrane - S/T My quest to "get" jazz continues with this from the HMV bargain bin. I love Ellington's 1930s/40s sides, this is from 1962 and sees him working with the hottest talent of the day. Repeat plays and I'm beginning to see the light, but it takes more work than I might like. Same goes for: The John Coltrane Quartette - Coltrane Again, repeat plays make this enjoyable, but I'm not sure it'll ever really by my perfect listen. The version of "The Inchworm" is ace though. The Durutti Column/Kevin Hewick/Blurt/The Royal Family and The Poor A Factory Quartet double LP. Early showcase of Factory acts. John Foxx - DNA Excellent all-instrumental album (and DVD) from 2010. Really good synth, reminiscent of Human League's "Dignity of Labour" EP or the more propulsive end of Jean-Michel Jarre's early stuff. With some warm ambient tracks for contrast. Otherwise: Mozart - Five Divertimentos Schubert - Symphony No. 9 (The Great) Mendelssohn - String Quartets Elgar - String Quartet in E Minor; Piano Quintet in A Minor Rodrigo - Concierto de Aranjuez Duke Ellington - The Real ... V/A - Beg Borrow or Steal The The - Soul Mining The The - Infected The The - Mind Bomb Blur - "Bang" EP Big Noble - First Light

New: Dommengang – Everybody’s Boogie. Another band from a US alt indie background having a go at rehabilitating 70s blues rock. Doesn’t completely come off, but has its moments: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TUCPEzL1NqE Automat – Plusminus. Germans. Dub + techno. As you’d imagine. Decent background music. Van Der Graaf Generator – After The Flood. Marvellous. What we think of as prog rock is just a pale imitation of the blueprint that VDGG came up with circa 1970 before moving on – discuss. Jackson Scott – Sunshine Redux. This may be better than I thought ;-) Tame Impala/Ty Segall fans should definitely investigate. Random access: Movietone – Day and Night. So, this was the album that The Drink (from last week) kept reminding me of, albeit a double speed version. Fragile post-rock/jazz from the same Bristol scene that begat (the overrated) Flying Saucer Attack and (verging on genius) Third Eye Foundation. Fans of Broadcast should most definitely cock an ear: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PEBduIaMpb8 Steven Wilson – The Raven That Refused To Sing. The first half of this is actually pretty great in a history-of-prog-for-beginners way, but then it becomes a bit too tasteful for me, much like his Hand Cannot Erase from this year, which I’m afraid I gave up on after one listen. My Bloody Valentine – EPs 88-91. Incredible how they went from spindly post-hardcore wannabes to avant classical behemoths over the course of the four EPs here. Brought back many memories. This really reminds me of Eno’s ‘Needles In The Camel’s Eye’ for some reason: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5qC35UJSXlI Video clip of the week: ILL – ‘Cock In My Pocket’. Well, this certainly stuck in my head… https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cYXR51MDlp8
