Big Deal - Lights Out

Kira Willey - Dance For The Sun (Yoga Songs For Kids) = fucking ace stuff

The Whip - Wired Together = not much of an advancement made on the first album, with nothing as good as 'Trash' on here

:o)

Volapük - Le Feu Du Tige
Something that's been sitting waiting for me to listen to it for a while. A random play on shuffle got me running this a few times. Weirdy mid-90s french album featuring lots of classical instruments in a rocky way. The obvious training of the players leads to some horrible j***y moments that has this verging on p**g. But, at best it's like a collaboration between Zappa and the Penguin Cafe Orchestra.Of the 14 tracks there's a goods 8 track LP. Unfortunately, that means cutting some in half not just out

Excepter - Ka
Similarly. Erm, yeah. Another one that's been sitting in my peripheral vision for some time. Some of this is out and out awful. Some of it like sketches by Holy Fuck. But, it's kept me going back to it. So there must be something going on

Half Man Half Biscuit - 90 BiSoDol (Crimond)

Tracks

The Chills - Pink Frost
Gene Clark - No Other / Assorted tracks
Jah Wobble & Julie Campbell - Tightrope
John Zorn - The Eternals

Jonny Kearney & Lucy Farrell - Kite
Lucy has the sweetest English voice and Jonny writes terrific songs and Adrian McNally of Unthanks fame produces with hints of Tom Waits and Robert Wyatt.

Nick Lowe - The Old Magic
Title says it all, no more, no less. I Read Alot is my favourite track.

Patti Smith - Outside Society
I never thought of Patti Smith as “a singer”. I suppose it’s ‘cause when she first emerged it was as a poet/artist and her involvement in music was almost as ‘outsider art’. But by the time she gets to People Have The Power she’s right up there with Grace Slick. Note: Gloria is not to be played loud on a car stereo on the M1 when you’re trying to keep to the speed limit. Quick, flick to Nick Lowe and settle back into the slow lane.
