Deep Purple - Made in Japan
inc the encores disc -hey Seth Man - where is yer?? The Squidlings and meself have been using the Purps of late as that crucial play-something -fast-and-loud-and-leap-around moment shortly after I return from the salt mines…

Queens of the Stoneage - Songs for the Deaf
is put to similar foot-stomping use as the above selection.

Did anyone hear the Andy Kershaw interview on radio 5 the other night? About his experiences at a Tuareg (sp?) festival in the desert? Robert plant was there, and Ali Farka Toure (sp?), both friends of Andy’s, and who’d never met. He managed to get the two of them round a camp fire under the desert stars, and, rather reluctantly, they took up guitars. They play the recording…Plant starts to strum this slow bluesy thing and A.F.T. eventually joins in with these wondrous chiming notes…then plant sings, and it’s a really weird and crazy version of, yup, whole lotta love. Then the radio 5 interviewer interrupts and says to Andy, well, how long did that go on for? To which Andy replies something along the lines of not much longer if you’d have cared to listen to it through you pillock….classic but sad. If that recording comes out on CD I want one btw.

Physical Graffiti - Led Zep
CD2 in particular - I’ve always neglected it. The Wanton Song is a great fun riff to play along with…

Blue Oyster Cult - Secret Treaties
Particularly Flaming Telepaths and Astronomy. This CD and Tyranny and Mutation are firm faves at the moment.

Spirit - Potatoland
Still betting a lot of listens at Squid Mansions. I just wish Randy California had got round to making the promised "Revenge of the French Fries"…

Black Sabbath - Volume 4
Snowblind! Say no more…except maybe Wheels of Confusion. A soundtrack for a wintry week.

Tangerine Dream - Phaedra
Late night floaty spookiness mmmmm

Soft Cell - Singles
Latest purchase from the cheap cd shop. Soundin groovy. I’m really into the 80s synth pop/rock thing at the moment. I’m particularly enjoying Loving You, Hating Me, Where the Heart Is, Numbers and Soul Inside.

T.Rex -Electric Warrior
One of the first LPs I bought. When it first came out…
Ride a White Swan was the first single I ever really really had to buy. I ordered it in the local "record shop", more like a hardware store that sold the top 10 singles. Every day for the next week I stopped off there after school to see if it had arrived. When it finally did appear and I placed it on the crap plastic thing that passsed for a stereo it was a moment of formative rock n roll bliss. So I had to have Electric Warrior when it came out…listening to it now is a strange mixture of nostalgia and true rock n roll love. What a sound, especially at that time…it seemed so appropriate.

Have a Rockin Week,
Peace and Noise,
Squid
