Muso-bable
The thoughts and ocassional ramblings of a 30-something muso.
Hello, I’m a muso. I'm one of those guys you see digging around the racks of vinyl in London's backstreet record shops. I'm not addicted, I can give it up whenever I want. I just need to find that limited edition 7" single that the NME made single of the week. Maybe you've bumped into me in the queue for the bar at The Academy or The Astoria. There are thousands of us in London - I've seen all the regular faces in the record shops and at the gigs.

This blog is my attempt to write about the records that I love, the gigs I've been to and, well, anything else to do with music. Hopefully you'll find something here that makes you nod in agreement or rant in disagreement or maybe even laugh.

Ryan Adams
It's not all doom and gloom however. The new White Stripes album promises to be a killer and the new Ryan Adams record, Cold Roses (the first of 2 or 3 this year!) is a corker.

Recorded with his new band (The Cardinals) this is perhaps his most polished work to date. Shades of Joni Mitchell and Neil Young in several places, most notibly Meadow Lake street, are mixed with nods towards more modern influences including Razorlight.

I'm not sure what the rest of The Cardinals add to the band, this really is just another (great) Ryan Adams record. Perhaps a couple of filler tracks on disc 2 cound have been dropped to form a killer single album, but really I'm jsut being picky.
