Oh no, it's back!
Thanks for the explanation, Quaco; I'll revisit it with that in mind.
I've been playing a lot of British music last week, I'll post some more later.
Having made a nice run of albums, Paul McCartney records his 'Abbey Road'. I like it a lot (but also a lot less than 'Ram'), but the signs are here why I'm no longer interested in much he made after.
I'm afraid that despite trying my best I've not been able to change my opinion on this record, which is that it's three great singles and some reruns.
That's more like it. Even though I already knew this record by heart, I found it hard to stop playing it again and again once I'd started.
It's my second favorite Costello album (after 'Get Happy') so it's safe to say I love it very much.
The least typical of Nick Drake's records, but also my favorite. On Slider's advice I played it really loud and it did sound different (in a good way) that way.
I don't know what came over me, but I really enjoyed this one.
It sounds as if Bowie really doesn't have too much of a clue of what record to make and that's how I like Bowie best.
So I played 'Hunky Dory' and 'Ziggy...' again to see if they'd grown on me, but alas, no such luck.
