Everybody’s getting well narky: Television ‘Adventure’ - always overshadowed by its mighty predecessor but still a fine, guitar based album in its own right. A perfect accompaniment to my morning walk; Matthews Southern Comfort ‘Second Spring’ - good English C&W I guess, and much better than that clumsy description may indicate; Loop ‘A Guilded Eternity’ - repetitive guitar drones, tribal beats and underpowered vocals make for a strangely fulfilling listen. I just love this band; Depeche Mode ‘Memento Mori’ - on first hearing a distinctive, thought provoking album with just enough hook factor to hold the interest. But a pop album this ain’t (well, given the shock death of a founder member in its planning, how could it be). I’m particularly drawn to ‘Caroline’s Monkey’ which sounds like the best song Marc Almond never wrote; Sweet ‘Give Us A Wink’ - inside a comically naff sleeve is a rock album as hard and loud as any more lauded 70s acts could muster. This really is some seriously heavy shit, one of more than a few examples I know of vibrant Brit rock immediately before ‘Anarchy In The UK’. I only wish I’d got to know more than its ace 45 ‘Action’ back in the day. The Smiths ‘Louder Than Bombs’ - quite the most enjoyable collection of tracks issued under The Smiths’ name, methinks - and thats from a fan of pretty much everything they did. If there’s nothing you can dig amongst its seventy-odd fab minutes then I guess they’re not the band for you; Sleaford Mods ‘UK Grim’ - y’know what? There’s real emotion in this record. I’m not joking; Public Image Limited ‘First Issue’ - this has got better with age. ‘Theme’ is one helluva opening salvo, totally unlike anything of its time: the very definition of what we now term ‘post punk’ IMO; Eric Clapton ‘August’ - a rare example of a mid-80s album that still sounds good and is, for me anyway, the last decent album Clapton ever released; Stray Cats ‘Gonna Ball’ - where the Cats bring in a few more players for a whole lot of rockin’ groove; John Lennon ‘Shaved Fish’ - all killer, no filler comp from 1975. If only it had ‘Working Class Hero’ on it; Ruts ‘In A Rut’ 45 - which still hits me in the solar plexus (in a gut) as much as it did at the age of consent. Sheer class; Buzzcocks ‘Time’s Up’ - I stand by every word of my old Unsung review of this ecstatic half hour of seminal punk; Alexander ‘Skip’ Spence ‘Oar’ - thank you, fellow posters, for prompting me to dig this charmingly murky gem from my shelves (Sundazed vinyl in my case). It arouses the same emotions I get from Syd Barrett’s solo oeuvre: admiration, sadness and joy, sometimes all at the same time. One of those artistically rare and wonderful records that occupies its own unique sound world; G.U.S. Footwear Band ‘Gold & Silver’ - one of my late dad’s brass band LPs forming a soundtrack to my childhood which, in my own advancing years, I can appreciate for its skill and craft almost as much as he did; Beethoven: Symphony no.4 (LSO/Jochum) - I’ve started replaying the recordings that introduced me to my favourite classical pieces. This was my first Beet 4 back in the late 70s, which still holds its own against the 100+ versions I’ve heard since; Mozart: Piano Concerto no.8 in C, K 246 (Kempff/BPO/Leitner) - early Mozart played with the wisdom of old hands, with very enjoyable results; Haydn: 6 String Quartets, Op.9 and 6 String Quartets Op.17 (Festetics Quartet) - I’ve several other sets of these works but the period sonorities made by this Hungarian ensemble add a new dimension to my ears. The slow movements are particularly lovely here: effectively chamber violin concertos. I got the Festetics’ complete Haydn Quartets box for a bargain price from a well known online retailer this week. I’ll enjoy hearing more anon. We only wanted to be loved. Best Dave x

Donovan - What's Bin Did And What's Bin Hid Donovan - Fairytale Pentangle - Basket Of Light Flower Travellin' Band - Anywhere Flower Travellin' Band - Satori Kuni Kawachi & Flower Travellin' Band - Kirikyogen Stomu Yamsh'ta/Gagaku Ensemble/JPO - Takemitsu Ishii Stomu Yamsh'ta & Come To The Edge - Floating Music Stomu Yamsh'ta's East Wind - One By One Tom Lehrer - Songs By Tom Lehrer Tom Lehrer - More Of Tom Lehrer Tom Lehrer - An Evening Wasted With Tom Lehrer Tom Lehrer - Revisited Vangelis - Voices Vangelis - Oceanic Vangelis - El Greco Bob Dylan - Another Side Of Bob Dylan Bob Dylan - Bringing It All Back Home Bob Dylan - Highway 61 Revisited Talk Talk - The Party's Over Talk Talk - It's My Life Talk Talk - The Colour Of Spring Talk Talk - Spirit Of Eden Sparks - Music That You Can Dance To Sparks - Interior Design Speed, Glue & Shinki - Eve Speed, Glue & Shinki - Speed, Glue & Shinki Kate Bush - Aerial Wet Leg - Wet Leg (very much enjoying this album with reservations, namely that too often the lyrics sound like they were written by eager-to-shock teenagers than women in their late 20s, so it was pleasing to catch them this week live at the Royal Albert Hall, and among the riotous versions of most of the songs from the album there was this as-yet unrecorded song that suggests a deeper second album to come: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K_gJ4SqaBj4 Then on the way home a stranger on the train asked me if I'd heard Rhian Teasdale's earlier solo project. And this is it: Rhain - Oscar November Echo https://soundcloud.com/rhainmusic This is amazing stuff, uncannily like Joanna Newsom at times, but evidence of a much more mature song-writing talent than evident in Wet Leg. Seems she started this project aged 19 under the name Babushka Baba Yaga! Suddenly those Morris dancers at the Brits start to make sense). Julian Cope - Psychedelic Revolution The Bonzo Dog Band - Keynsham
