Life bumbles along, and months of not being able to listen to music come to an end, wrapped in the cashmere warmth of Mark Eitzel, the Unthanks and Hem. Here the Unthanks make good on their last album, complete with lovely spoken interludes. This is my most listened to album this year already. Taken from the live album "Diversions, Vol. 1: The Songs of Robert Wyatt and Antony & The Johnsons- Live from the Union Chapel, London", recorded at the end of last year whilst waiting to finish their new album it shows them to be as expert at taking [...]

Saw this in the Guardian - too good to pass up posting here. Feel it. Buy it and the rest of the fantastic Moondance
If only I could make a thumbpick sound that good. A man of seemingly few words, who, unlike so many people whose music I enjoy, I actually wanted to meet, to see play up close and now that isn't going to happen. I suggest you all go and check his youtube clips, then follow it with some of Davy Graham's and John Martyn's. I'm sure the blogs are awash with tracks, but here are my humble submissions to encourage you to check his albums out: Listen: Bert Jansch - Needle of Death Listen: Bert [...]
From the Lonesome vaults... Listen: The Avett Brothers - Sanguine Buy it Listen: Alele Diane - The Pirate's Gospel Buy it
Much enjoyment to be had with this album, for me it almost smells of the leather jacket Nancy is wearing on the cover. Listen: Nancy Sinatra & Lee Hazlewood - Summer Wine Buy it:
Have you all got Diamond Mine yet? I haven't heard a more affecting piece of music for a long time. I saw KC and Jon Hopkins play the whole album earlier this year at Homegame and again last week in Manchester - but really it's one to listen to at home. Although even the most jocular of banter onstage doesn't negate the emotional punch of it all. This is the one that really gets me. It's a whisper of a thing, really, about the redemptive powers of fatherhood, my namesake, [...]
Blah,blah, no posts for ages, will post more soon. Best thing in ages, check it:
It is increasingly rare that I hear something on radio and immediately it seek out to buy, this song was on Cerys Matthews' radio6 show the other week and just about knocked me off my feet. No idea if it links in with the novel, but the music hums with Summer sweetness. Apologies if this is all old news to you, but if I hear something and start making favorable comparisons with Mr Eitzel (get well soon Mark) and Leonard Cohen I'm going to make sure I listen to as many songs as I can get my hands on. [...]
Image source and copyright: Leodis , a brilliant archive of old photos of Leeds, with comments. (Comments on this one talk about Woodbine Liz, who I'd only ever thought was Keith Waterhouse character). I was lucky enough to see John Grant play at the Holy Trinity church last week and it was predictably amazing. Points to note: - He's got a right pair of lungs on him - Russian classical piano is a romantic force in any setting (and he's a clever bugger) - It is strangely satisfying to sing to 'Jesus hates [...]
At the risk of a Hi fidelity style cop-out of an ending, today I'm posting this smooth lonesome music you know Scott Walker would have loved in his big hair prime. The whole album is worth a listen. Take it easy now.Listen: Alice Clark - I Keep It Hid You can buy it for large amounts of money, or ask nicely...
My love of the seaside knows no bounds. Buy it on a lovely 7" like I did.
So early Summer and I'm already hitting the mid-late 70's Beach Boys, it happens every year. This is from their 1979 album L.A., it doesn't come close to their late 60's peak, but I coming to understand the later albums more as I get older myself. Cheesy sax solo, but a great, mournful vocal. Listen: The Beach Boys - Goin' South Don't buy it from here - there are much cheaper places.
Just over five years ago this album soundtracked my time in Vienna, fitting really as Schiele's pictures were displayed at the Belvedere and his portrait 'De Familie' made me cry. It was a surprise for me too. The painting is infinitely more moving than any photograph of it, so go and see it if you have the chance. The music is equally stark and architectural and fitting for today. Listen: Rachel's - Egon and Wally embrace and say farewell
