What I'm listening to this week
Bit of a mixed bag on the minidisc player this week:
DJ Dangermouse - The Grey album
I've already talked about it too much. Find it on your favourite file sharing network now,
The Strokes - Room On Fire
It's had a few months off, but now very defintley back in the player. If I have one critisim it is that it's too tinny (why doesn't the kick drum kick and why does Julian sound like he's singing in an outside toilet?
Ryan Adams Live In Liverpool (Bootleg)
It's the gig that ended the last tour abrubtly. Listen to Ryan fall from the stage and carry on singing! Quite a good recording from someone in the crowd. I can't find the original place that I downloaded the gig frim so you'll have to google for it.
Top Ryan fact, he's name is actually David.
Blur Live in Paris (Bootleg)
What sounds like a Radio or Desk recording from last year, on the tour just after the release of Think Tank as some of the new tracks are incorrectly titled. Damon also explains why Graham isn't with them...
Joy Zipper - The Stereo And God
This is (I think) a mini album released before their first album proper. Contains the sublime "Check Out My New Jesus", which was the track that first turned me on to Le Zipper.
The Beatles - The White Album
After all of the Grey Album ho-ha, I decided to go back to the original, moslty good, Beatles album (am I allowed to say that!?!?). High points are of course, "Happiness Is A Warm Gun", "Rocky Racoon", "Glass Onion" and "Helter Skelter". Also contains the less good "Piggies" and "Birthday".
