Charles Mingus’ The Black Saint and the Sinner Lady
A fantastic jazz album, a free sound but a very coherent structure and orchestration. Nice and bassy too, with some great flamenco-ish guitar parts. I’ve been listening to it all day.
In Rainbows by Radiohead
More of Radiohead doing what they do well —which for £2 I can’t really complain about.
Har Mar Superstar
Superstar is an understatement. Needs to be seen live to fully appreciate him.
89.3 the current
This is amazing, it’s the first time I’ve actually liked a music radio station here since 93.7 THE EDGE.
The Knife
Good electronic music in a compact, easy to swallow pill.
The Trucks (self-titled album)
Ok, so some of their songs may be a little vulger, and I can’t say I can personally identify with most of their subjects. And yet I can’t help loving this album…
Mucca Pazza
The subtitle says it all: “Astounding Circus Punk Marching Band”. Astounding indeed.
Ball and Biscuit by The White Stripes
This song could kick your ass in a heartbeat. And it would, too, if it felt like it.
The Stars That Play With Laughing Sam’s Dice by Jimi Hendrix
It’s starts kind of normal, but then it devolves into a long, noisy, and mostly directionless Hendrix solo. This is where it starts to rock.
Morning Theft by Jeff Buckley
and though the meaning fits
there’s no relief in this
i miss my beautiful friend
