Haven't listened to Light & Magic for quite a while, should really dig it out. Marnie's solo album is on the playlist for this week. Snap re DM Singles 81>85. They were on a great trajectory.

The Hey Collosus/ White Manna 7" is a blast, as are they all! http://www.discogs.com/label/761440-God-Unknown-Records http://www.discogs.com/Various-Singles-Club-Volume-1/release/7641931 Get all the singles club releases in one handy download for about £8...well worth it. https://godunknownrecords.bandcamp.com/album/singles-club-volume-1

Pop. 1280 - Paradise Been looking forward to this release for a while. Bit of a change in direction, in being a little more electronic/ coldwavey than previous releases, but still enjoyable enough. No where near as gnarly as their classic post-punk-esque debut 'The Horror', which is still their bench mark album as far as I'm concerned. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LxMfnL_Hctg Savages - Adore Life Only heard this the once, seems like a keeper. They've toned down the Siouxsie histrionics somewhat, but that's no bad thing, and it's better than the art-rock experimentation double up with Bo Ningen, which for me, did neither act any favours (but kudos for trying). They were in the 'papers' this week for kicking off the 8a.m. 30 minute 'pre-work' gig thingy, which sounds more fun than a double esspresso. Hell I'd go to a gig before work, as the singer said, it's a cooler excuse for being late than the bus got stuck. https://www.youtube.com/watch v=kvvhHT0B5ck&list=PLZqsyBiYZFQ0YeC_3HsofeyYzoTzycKDh Wire - Notre Dame Hall 19/07/79 Amazing quality 'legal' bootleg from Wires more 'outre' phase. https://pinkflag.greedbag.com/buy/19th-july-1979-notre-dame-hall-l-0/ Whole bunch more that look like they may be worth a punt too. https://pinkflag.greedbag.com/dept/~the-wire-legal-d/ Bowie - Bowie at the Beeb (Disc 2) Contains most of my fav' versions of those early Bowie releases in session form. I love the 'work in progress' feel to many of the tracks. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2syGy1TjXq0&list=PL507F0C2FA89001A6 The Residents - Buster and Glen/Duck Stab I love the primitive electronics vibe of these EP's. Deffo one of those releases that when you play if for peeps who may not have heard it before, the inevitable response is 'What The Fuck!!!'. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vHENxCIuohw&list=PL9B60D73CD8D6D55C Ghostbox Comp - In A Moment (various) Still not convinced by the track selction for this GB comp, but deffo warming to it. Seems like a missed opportuninty to me though, could have had a comp' with new tracks by the artists, rather than previously available stuff. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QKggo-uRTn0&list=PLUSRfoOcUe4a7xeWGVo-Fe0uOHOAAhtdU Monolord - Empress Rising Love the heavy stoner shit put out by Monolord. Bit of a one trick pony structure wise, but it's a trick I like, so easy to forgive em'. https://monolord.bandcamp.com/album/empress-rising Dat's about it fer now. Have a good en'

Fatalist wrote: The third part of the excellent Music Moguls series on the same channel (of course!) featured some dodgy geezer (or certainly somebody playing a dodgy geezer) talking about music PR, a subject uncomfortably close to what used to be my heart. Watch it for the extended Uriah Heep anecdote, which includes Lee Kerslake wrestling a bear… http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/p039x5f7/music-moguls-masters-of-pop-3-myth-makers That PR guy is still spinning PR about it though. I don't remember High & Mighty getting good reviews. My memory - and admittedly it was a long time ago - was that the PR stunt backfired and the music press took the piss out of UH about it. He did get picked up on the Jerry Hall court case exaggerations though!

All blends perfectly on these short 'songs' - something I just didn't get on other records. I got the God Unknown download collection a couple of weeks ago but haven't had time to listen yet. Look forward to it.
