Ancient Wisdom - Deathlike
The Devil's Blood - III
Greylag - st (warmed to this a bit more(
Subversion - Animi
Plastikman - Closer
Squarepusher - My Red Hot Car (remixes) Glorious insanity
Bong - We Are, We Were, We Will Have Been. Another 2 lengthy tracks offering of Bongment. Very good, and the second track in particular, is rather lovely, being that it operates at the lighter, trippier end of things
The Darkness - Last of Our Kind. This is utterly splendid and wonderful, having some of their most heavy stuff yet on it, but the catchy hooks riffery are still present. It rocks mightily and I shall love them for doing so. Yes, there is absurdity in there, but it is the genuine love of rock that powers what you hear and that is the driving force and the devil really is in the details. I really liked "Hot Cakes", but this is properly AWESOME!
Rick Redbeard - No Selfish Heart
Groan - The Divine Right of Kings
Also, live -
Kate Ashton-Butler
Foxtales
Polly & The Billets Doux. all at the The Eagle, Salford. Top night of music, last Thursday.
Miriam Jones - at Gullivers, last Sunday. An occasional photo client, chum and quality singer/songstress. I really like her voice. Just her and her geetar and a bass player, and I really liked the songs in this stripped down format.
