Still no Five Guys Walk Into A Bar, Adrian?

yeah- got it last week Erik-
i've only listened to the first 2 discs so far-
but what i have heard is great! a brilliant boxset.

Hey Adrian what is the deal with that Lanegan disc. What is it about? like?
What did you think of that Killers CD? I am surprised how much I like it.
The Faces Box Set...in some bizarre way I lost ONE of the 4 discs; only one of them. That Set has never left the house but it is gone. So I haven't been able to listen to any of it since because all I can think about is the one disc that is missing. So I justy re-ordered the entire set.
Last thing I got are the first two Izzy Stradlin albums. They are all out of print. I say that "117" is much better than the first one.

"...no longer shall you trudge 'cross my peaceful mind."

Chelsea-
the Isobel Campbell/Mark Lanegan album, is a remarkable piece of work.
I'd heard many good things about it, over the last couple of months, but when, over the weekend, i saw it in the HMV sale for £5, i couldn't resist.

It's one of the best £5, i've ever spent on music.

Lanegan has this rich, dark, brooding voice- are you familiar with his work with The Screaming Trees?... he sounds, to my mind, a little like Nick Cave.

Isobel Campbell's trippy, soft, spellbinding vocals, compliment Lanegan perfectly.
I've never been a huge fan of her old group, Belle & Sebastian, so i didn't know what to expect....she's got a beautiful voice,
and whoever came up wit hthe idea of this bizarre, yet genius collaboration,
of duets, deserves full marks.
It's quite a trippy, hazy record, with some wonderful lyrics- it's one of the best things i've heard all year.

As for The Killers- a little disappointing- it hasn't got the great, stand out singles, like 'Hot Fuss'- i suspect it's a grower and needs a few more listens.

last weekend i bought 3 discs and have ordered one..

Bought:
- Buried Alive - New Barbarians
- some Rod Steward compilation (with lots of Ronnie Wood on it)
- some Ray Charles compilation (with Night Time on it)

Ordered:
- The Truth Doesn't Mater - Nikki Sudden (not released yet in Holland, so I have ordered the overseas disc )

Life's just a cocktail party on the street

3 CDs of the usual Killer material BUT
on the final disc for the first time
ever are 2 numbers from an acetate that
a 16 year old Jerry Lee cut at J&M Studio,
New Orleans back in 1952. His best friend
Cecil Harreison has kept the acetate in a
suit case for some 54 years. The first side
features Jerry Lee performing an amazing
version of Lefty Frizzell's - Dont Stay Away
with the other New Orleans Boogie showcasing
the young Killers red hot boogie style...........AMAZING STUFF!!!!





ROCKMAN

Curious, your thoughts about BB and how are Raconteaurs live?

Elvis Country, Stones In The Park and Lust For Life (I had given my original CD to a friend)...arrived 2 minutes ago,
still waiting for the other Elvis albums and Buired Alive.
Play.com actually send the stuff out, without taking money for postage...even up to where I live, really great,
well, I'll go out driving and listen to Elvis for an hour, now, it's a good way to listen to music.

Got a bunch of heavy & nostalgia-ticklin' U2-boots from NY, US
& one of the ultimate comp.cd's with music fetched from a good 70 year
long time span from Dr Satan deep deep down under....

Seeing the Raconteurs, tonight, tussler (fri 20th).

i saw them,for the first time, back in June @ the O2 Festival in Hyde Park,
they were superb - Jack White is a demon on guitar, and he certainly gets-off, on having his buddy Brendan Benson, and the 2 Greenhornes, onstage with him...

he seems relaxed, didn't stop grinning, and is enjoying the freedom and not shouldering the sole-responsibility, of being the driving force behind
The W. Stripes.

b.t.w-
if you're buying music online, either today (20th) or tomorrow (21st),
can i point you in the direction of hmv.co.uk?

they're running a special 20% discount promotion...

when ordering online, type in the code SQ1515 in the relevant box,
to get the discount.

Marvin Gaye- What's Going On

I saw the Raconteurs live a couple weeks ago and...Jack White was great. he ruled the band. I thought they were good but they all are better in their respective other bands IMO.

"...no longer shall you trudge 'cross my peaceful mind."

Blind Faith DVD from London Hyde Park, 1969
Average at best. Mainly a collectable piece.

Bob Dylan, "Modern Times"
Outstanding. One of the best CD's I have bought in a long time.

Sam Cooke- Portrait Of A Legend

Endless Wire (deluxe edition)- The Who

A Bigger Bang;

Endless Wire (deluxe edition)- The Who

I met some friends at Barnes and Noble last week while the store was having a CD sale. The selection was mostly greatest hits stuff but with my discount card I was looking at only $9 for each. So I bought the following: Janis Joplin's Greatest Hits, the Essential E.L.O. and Carole King's Tapestry. I have been listening to the E.L.O. ever since in my car, non-stop.

This week-

Franks wild years
Bone ?????
Rain Dogs
Black ????

all by Tom Waits

Quadrophenia remasterd
Tommy remasterd
Live at IOW
Endless Wire

all by the Who
