Not very good is it?
Have I grown up?

It's definitely an album I put on to take me back to a happy time rather than because I think it's a musical and lyrical masterpiece...I am putting it on my ipod though but I prefer Script For A Jester's Tear... I never get tired of hearing Garden Party

It took me back alright, but I think the music is a bit more interesting on Script...
As guilty pleasures go I think I've got a lot worse than that....now playing:

[Django]

Mark Kozelek - The Finally LP

Still haven't bought that, any use?

That was my first play. Seems pleasant enough, but it usually takes me a fair few plays of his stuff to determine it's true worth. It's certainly not shit, let's put it that way.

Now playing:

[Balboa]

After moaning about Stevie's 70s stuff sometimes, I have started to listen a bit closer and I picked this up on vinyl for £2 a while ago. Got it cleaned and sure enough it sounds great. Everything is better than I remember it being - Side 2 is back to back great -

Superstition
Big Brother
Blame it on the Sun
Lookin' For Another Pure Love
I Believe (When I Fall in Love It Will Be Forever)

There is so much going on - and more guitars on here than I remember (Jeff Beck pops up a couple of times).

Sold!

[Balboa]

Well, Side 2 of it. It's a great album - one of the first I ever bought I think.

[secondhandsocks]

Sun Kil Moon
April

[Balboa]

It's been too long since I listened to Ellington - I've always enjoyed this album of his.

[Balboa]

In truth, I will skip 'Aumgn' and 'Peking O' and go straight to 'Bring Me Coffee or Tea'.

I've got it on super loud as well!

[sensi]

Brendan Benson...Lapalco

'Halleluhwah' just sounds HUGE when it is cranked up.

[Django]

Now playing an 18 track Brian Jonestown Massacre compilation, handmade by toilet seat connoiseur and all round top man Evil Dave.

[sensi]

Snow Patrol...Final Straw

It was a gift off my son because I like Run

[Diamond Dog]

Onto disc 2 of this boxset:





which is a live gig from The Marquee in 1968, in tremendous quality.

The first disc is some of the most perfect pop ever committed to tape. Magnificent.

[Balboa]

I've had it for a while, but first proper listen today. I'm liking it so far.
