Paul Weller 'True Meanings' - the more I play this, the more convinced I am that this is Weller's finest solo achievement. There's a subtlety here that he has never fully achieved until now (not even with 'Wild Wood') and the man's singing and songwriting has never been better. Simply a lovely record; Barry Andrews 'Lost Pop Songs 78-80' - having long yearned for a digitalised collection of Andrews' unsung post-XTC/pre-Shriekback 45s, I'm very disappointed to note that what I take to be a self-financed release is so poorly put together. The wonderful 'Town and Country' EP appears here badly mastered from a crackly, off-centre vinyl copy and 'Rossmore Road' is much thinner and wheezy sounding than the Virgin original. Clearly the compilers haven't had access to the master tapes but this meagrely packaged CD could and should have been so much better; Loudon Wainwright III 'Years In The Making' - quirky career retrospective which I've found superbly entertaining. Both fans and newbies will dig; Brahms: Symphonies 1 - 4 (Staatskapelle Berlin/Daniel Barenboim) -although intensely personal (and occasionally wayward), these readings seem to me to cut to the heart of Brahms more than any since Furtwaengler - and I speak as a long term admirer of Giulini, Barbirolli, Boult, Celibidache, Walter, Klemperer and many other noted Brahms interpreters of the past and present. There are moments in these recordings where the music appears to hang in thin air (the slow movement of the Third for example) and I find that incredibly moving. Not for everyone perhaps, but well worth hearing. Happy vibes to all. Dave

VA – Running The Voodoo Down Vol 2. Another comp of psych-influenced soul & jazz. For some reason, I prefer this to the first one. Certainly good for people like me who don’t know their John Coltrane from their Sonny Sharrock, but are too old to admit it. The Nightingales – Perish The Thought Keto – Blackened Pool BEAK> – >>> Kikagaku Moyo – Masana Temples Earthling Society – MO - The Demon Evil Blizzard – The Worst Show On Earth Hawkwind – Road To Utopia Alex Crispin – Open Submission 48 Chairs – 70% Paranoid. Latest bit of bin digging goodness from Finders Keepers, obscure but rather good slice of funky post-punk/prog from the early ‘80s, kinda Wire meets Blue Orchids meets Talking Heads: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xGHHTMHhr28 Popera Cosmic – Les Esclaves. Another FK re-release, French rock opera from 1969, some surprisingly groovy tracks herein: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4BNYKnngV7g Curved Air – Second Album. Rapidly becoming one of my favourite bands from the ‘70s progressive era. The Vinyl Countdown: K is for… King Of The Slums – Barbarous English Fayre. Now here’s a band who are grievously unsung. They were probably at their peak (and enjoying their 15 minutes of NME/MM-endorsed fame) when this compilation of early singles and new tracks was released in 1989, the flipside of the loved-up Madchester scene. The song titles are almost comically Morrissey-esque – ‘Simpering Blonde Bombshell’, ‘Venerate Me Utterly’, ‘Bedevilment’s Favourite Son’ etc – but the music positively seethes with small town violence and frustration, a distorted electric violin constantly needling away in the mix. Really, these guys were brilliant… https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sAr9M9yOUpE (and also recently reformed apparently)

I never bought the album but I was rather partial to Vicious British Boyfriend EP. Just listening to the track you posted now!

Really, these guys were brilliant… https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sAr9M9yOUpE (and also recently reformed apparently) I often wonder if Luke Haines was a fan. If anything they were even more savage - but there is definitely (IMO, obviously. Subjective value judgements and all that) something of an echo of their stuff in Haines output. If one were to like the Auteurs etc (especially After Murder Park) and were after a similar kick, Barbarous English Fayre and Dandelions would be just the ticket. Haven't been here for ages, so the fact I listen to the same 20 or 30 albums on repeat will escape your notice. List time! (Yay). Azealia Banks - Broke With Expensive Taste. The album may be all over the place but this is God like genius, 1:50 seconds in, awesome: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i3Jv9fNPjgk All together now "I'm going to ruin you cunt..." I have no idea how my partner found this. She listens to Ken Bruce ffs. Baby Huey & The Baby Sitters - Living Legend. Wonderful psychedelic soul music. This track so obviously penned by Curtis Mayfield. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zMIzTh0Lafg&start_radio=1&list=RDEMj-IheTFxZU2AM4GR6kmPww "Eatin' Spam and Oreo's, drinkin' Thunderbird baby." Eatin' beef flavoured Transformer corn puffs and drinkin' Euroshopper 30p energy drink (still). That's what I call progress. Dead Meadow - Peel Sessions. Released in 2001 and only just found by me, despite my loving this band... Only Peel session not recorded in this country (recorded in Fugazi's studio apparently). Currently considered (by me) to be their essential album. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ltkP3l323P4 Cool cartoon bolted to it by whoever uploaded it to YouTube as well. Grace Jones - Island Life. Curiously dated yet timeless. Suspect every track was a single. I-Monster - Daydream In Blue (BBC Radio 2 Session). One track stumbled on by accident, but it's so good it demands to be shared. Utterly different to the single. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rG8y4f3gA68 Hawkwind - In Search of Space. You Know You're Only Dreaming is a great song. I'd never really noticed it before, despite it taking up a third of the first side - obviously usually concussed by You Shouldn't Do That. Dave actually knew his way round a hook or two. Scott 4 - Works Project LP. Fell on my head whilst I was rooting around in a cupboard. Loved this at the time and it still sounds great. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Eyt0-DlkEro Slade - In Flame. Has a hit making pop band ever sounded sadder or as knackered as this? On their feature film as well. Wonderful. T2 - It'll All Work Out In Boomland. Simply essential. Various Artists - Country Funk Volumes 1 and 2. Find these if you can. Think they were a vinyl only released by Light In The Attic Records a few years ago but now available as a download and what I've actually been listening to for an embarrassing amount of time now. Every track is a classic (Hoyt Axton being a particular favourite - harmonica impersonating a chicken... what's not to love?). Check out this greatest ever cover of an Elvis track: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l3fITdfg6nQ Country Grindcore - wow. Edit - Goddamn, that's Roger McGuinn on guitar! ttfn.

On this promotional video of Billy Swan's version of Don't Be Cruel the band gamely miming away inexplicably features Roger McGuinn on guitar, David Essex on drums (2:48), and Kenny Jones (1:53) on piano. Can't make out the bass player - but from the logic of the rest of it Alvin Stardust has got to be a contender. The dancing preacher is the obvious star and doubtless was a star but I don't recognise him. Delightfully he appears to kick the woman as she lays on the floor after she's been laid out with a punch from her abductor. Enlightened times the Seventies. Still, he busts some moves.
