Re: The Beasts, They ain't that crucial tbh, I just like em' cos' they got half of one of my fav' Aussie bands The Scientists in em'. Though, if you like swamp rock/ swamp blues ala Creedence Clearwater Revival, and I guess there's a hint of Nick Cave/ Bad Seeds about em', then yeah, go ahead. My recommendations would be Axeman's Jazz and Sour Mash.

Did I turn you onto the Buttholes? don't recall tbh, glad you dig em' though, there was no-one quite like em' at the time. They never got better or zania than Locust. 'Hairway to Steven' was the last album I bought by them before they went 'stadium', well that and the live one that's free on their site on the web somewhere now, 'Double Live' I think it was called...

Sherpa – Tigris & Euphrates. Very nice cosmic psych from Italian crew – fans of Floyd, early Verve etc will like: https://sherpaita.bandcamp.com/album/tigris-euphrates

Mythic Sunship – Another Shape Of Psychedelic Music. More jazz rock crazed Danes. Actually rather fantastic, though requires stamina: https://soundcloud.com/elparaiso/mythicelevation

Hen Ogledd – Mogic. Group featuring that Richard Dawson bloke. A lot of avant/artschool prankery herein, but frankly they can do what they like having produced a single as awesome as this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5O9BXeFm_yg

J.H. Guraj – Steadfast On Our Sound. Italian plucker produces pleasant guitar-based sounds for short film.

Jacco Gardner – Somnium

The Nightingales – Perish The Thought

BEAK> – >>>

CAVE – Allways

Dead Otter – Bridge Of Weird

John Faulkner & Sandra Kerr – The Music From Bagpuss. Literally every note of music ever featured in or near stuffed cat childhood favourite. The very sound of alternative nostalgia.

Jethro Tull – This Was. Has received the Steven Wilson mix treatment – sounded pretty good to me.

Curved Air – Phantasmagoria

VA – Running The Voodoo Down Vol 2

Conny Plank – The Potential Of Noise (DVD). Think this has already been discussed elsewhere in HH. Tis very good, though you do have to sit through an interview with Dave Stewart.

Was Dave pissed? every interview I've seen with him yamming about something recently, he's been three sheets to the wind. Kinda hoping my local arthouse will put the Conny film on during their yearly 'Flatpack festy' of everything hard to come by, film/cinema wise.

Yes ;-)

It's well worth seeking out. Maybe BBC4 will buy it...

The Goodies - The Cricklewood Tapes (part of the absolute treat that is the Binge Of Goodies box set from Network. This triple CD shows how good some of Bill Oddie's background is when in the foreground)




Bill Oddie does blue-eyed soul, 1966.

Been up hill and down dale this week, trying to get my lung capacity back after nasty asthma crap. Seems to be working!. Hefty hike across the Long Myndd and back up through Nut Batch, a wonderful fairy dell of a valley, that gets to be a slog towards the end....worth it though, as it's not visited very much judging by the narrow sheep track. Truley unspoiled.


I've not ventured over to that part of the Long Mynd. I must go and explore that bit.

If you start up by the glider club, take the path that meanders along the edge behind the clubhouse and on for a mile or so. It's faily level, only minor ups and downs, and is easy to follow. Towards the middle/end of then plateau with stunning views to your right come to a stop near some pine woods on your left and a field gate in front with a kissing gate directly to your left. Go through the kissing gate and take the path through the woods and keep going till you hit a locked stile and horse jumping stile in the fence to your right over looking the top of Nut Batch. Climb/Jump over stile and it's downhill all the way. The path is only sporadically marked, so take a map to be sure. Prob easier going down than up too. Plus, at the bottom, you can take a left hand path along to Minton if I recall correctly. Have a go, it really is beautiful, with a ting babbling brook for company all the way up/down depending on your choice of ascent/decent. It really is the path less followed, you certainly don't see the Cardingmill crowds anywhere near. If you manage to get there, have fun. Other than the brook, it's sooooo quiet.
