Olatunji, Drums of passion, first ever recording of african drums in the 50s, tis **** brilliant!

and Curtis Mayfield, Curtis! superfly has always been one of my favourite albums, venturing in to more curtis this week though, tis all good!

Bonobo – Black Sands
Cymande – Cymande
Public Enemy – Yo bum rush the show.

It’s been a nostalgic week for me.

Breton – War Stories (band that can’t do wrong for me, love em.)

Not big on listening to full albums, usually they go on the ipod, then shuffle. But have listened to those 3 more than once in the last week.

Massive Attack v Mad Professor – No Protection
Tricky – False Idols
Not an album but been listening to a few Adriatique mixes this week too.

I usually only get chance to really indulge myself and listen to full albums on Friday and Saturday evenings, otherwise it’s 6Music during the day, and shuffled tracks on the phone, but I’ve been on holiday this week, and I’ve had a download of Elbow’s new album, The Take Off And Landing Of Everything playing on the phone, and the CD arrived yesterday, so listened to it again last night, along with a couple of Handsome Family albums, Honey Moon, and Singing Bones, prompted by watching True Detective.
Not sure what I’ll be listening to tonight and tomorrow yet.

Gary Newman, Splinter V.v.good
NIN, hesitation marks
Velvet underground, the banana one, Warhol ?!

Lily & Madeleine – Lily & Madeleine
Dead & Born & Grown – The Staves
Enema of the State – Blink 182

This week, I are mostly be listening to:
Tubular Bells. Still an astonishing work.
Slave to the grind, Skid Row. GTFO!
And The Document 4, from Andy Smith. Eclectic lunacy.

Only listened to 2 full albums this week –

Band of Horses ‘Acoustic at the Ryman’
Beck ‘Morning Phase’

And listened to a home made Flaming Lips compilation of various songs from all their albums

Don’t usually listen to albums really, mainly playlists so the only one at qualifies is Van’s Astral Weeks which I put on timer the other night to help get me to sleep….

Which reminds, I must change that cd for something else.

CFH – Tubular Bells is a great shout. That’s my first listen when I get to work on Monday.

The take off and landing of everything, anything by Iron and wine and the sound track from searching for sugar man sound track which is amazing, not seen the film yet but will be watching over the weekend ,looks to be a fascinating story.

Porcupine Tree – Fear of a Blank Planet.
Chickenfoot – 3.
Marillion – Misplaced Childhood.

This week I’ve been mainly listening to:
Trembling Bells with Bonny Prince Billy
Fay Hield and the Hurricane Party &
Richard Thompson ‘Electric’

So there.

Muchacho de Lujo by Phosphecent (with the live album)

The Paul Simon Songbook by, er, Paul Simon

Otto Klemperer Conducts, a 10 CD set of live recordings of a load of Bruckner, Brahms and Beethoven (cost less than a tenner – amazing!)

Makes a nice change buying old music. I’m not feeling too guilty for not listening to new music.

Rudimental – Home.

The doves – last broadcast.

Unkle – physcience fiction.

According to my iTunes data i have been listening to :

Minilogue – The Island of If[/url], a new release by the swedish electronic geniuses, in the link highlighted is a 23 min video jam session of new work.

Erased Tapes Collection IV (scroll down), one of the outstanding compilation series collections of Erased Tapes Artists.

The new EP by Grandbrothers – Ezra , simply outstanding work and mastered to perfection.

There are a few others but that’s my top 3 so far out of 37hrs of music.

Start to finish..

Wild Beasts – Present Tense

London Grammar – If you Wait

Little Dragon – Ritual Union

Afghan Whigs – 1965
Urge Overkill – Saturation
