These are the last things I remember getting, but most of them were gifts, but I liked them. Cruising - Michael Nesmith; Love Hurts - Nazareth; actually I wish I was listening to both of those songs now; and I bought 'U Remind Me' by Usher, and some cheap CD of Eddie Cochran that I didn't listen to much, plus I got a Buddy Holly greatest hits record recently.

― nathalie, Saturday, 6 April 2002 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Andy do you mean M. Mayer?? Does he have an album out??!?

Indeed. It's a mix album with Selway, Phantom/Ghost, Akufen, M. Rahn, Carsten Jost, etc. And it's spectacular. I've listened to it every day for the last week. It's definitely up there with the recent mixes by Hawtin, Weatherall, Dan Bell, etc.

Andy, how's the Soul Center one? The review in the Wire sounded pretty intriguing...

I don't like it quite as much as the previous Soul Center discs. From what I can tell, Brinkmann had to take it easier on the samples since the record came out on Novamute and not his own little label. Less tempo variation, less gritty -- in favor of smoothness. Perhaps I haven't listened to it enough, but the tracks aren't nearly as distinct from one another as they are on the first two.

― Andy K, Tuesday, 9 April 2002 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Madonna "The First Album" - Burning up is a great song

Johnny Cash "American Vol.3" - One of my favourite covers album, maybe even numero uno

The Monks "The Monks" - I was told it was a classic, and it is.

Ken Stringfellow "Touched" -You can't get a better pop album for 6.66

Badmarsh & Shri "Dancing Drums" -Loving this

and The Mars Volta ep - Building up an appetite for the album now. Cut That City is a great song.

Plus, I just ordered the new Perry Blake cd "California" from amazon.fr

― vantasma, Tuesday, 9 April 2002 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

1) V/A: Andy Weatherall - Nine O'Clock Drop

I just bought this yesterday as well. Good stuff, totally unfamiliar to me. Is this comp. supposed to represent a certain genre or scene? Does this overlap w/ the Disco/Not Disco comp? Hope you write about this batch, Tim...

― Mark, Thursday, 11 April 2002 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

― jel --, Friday, 12 April 2002 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Tell me about the packaging of the ACR, Dr.C. What do you get? It hasn't found its way to Belgium yet, grrr.

― Jeff W, Friday, 12 April 2002 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Ha! - was talking about this very 'ting last night with Marcello, who had a copy with him. You get the THICKEST booklet I've ever seen in a CD. It basically contains a long interview with Jez Kerr, Moscrop and Donald J about the origins of the band, influences etc. Very nice. Also some good photos which I'd never seen before. To my ears it sounds like they've done a great job on the remastering, unlike the Revola/Creation reissues - it's bloody thunderous on my system. I'm still not convinced about the track-listing though. Maybe they didn't have access to all the BBC trax, but why two versions of Skip-bloody- Scada and no Day One!!

Jel - "Fan Mail" - best opening track ever?

― Dr. C, Friday, 12 April 2002 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Ascension- Live/dead Dead C- Repent Handful of dust- [can't remeber title] Cecil taylor-melancholy Ornette coleman- Live at the golden circle vol.1

― Julio Desouza, Friday, 12 April 2002 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

And, Jeff, Tim Hopkins casually mentioned last night(as he was leaving, therefore no time to get full details) that he saw ACR play last week at that Soul Jazz thingy. I had known about this, but bloody FORGOT! Damn, Damn! I haven't seen them since 1986-ish in a big tent in Finsbury park with Happy Mondays and New Order.

― Dr. C, Friday, 12 April 2002 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Wow, for the first time in a long time, the majority of my last five were vynils! Here's the latest:
1. Neil Young - Trans
2. Happy Flowers - My Skin Covers My Body
3. Tom Robinson - The Collection 1977 - 87
4. Martha and the Muffins - Danseparc
5. Pan American - The River Made No Sound

Before that, grabbed the Big Bad Love soundtrack and managed to get ahold of a JAMS/Timelords CD through Ebay. Yay! Waiting for: new Constantines single and new Fly Pan Am.

― Sean Carruthers, Sunday, 14 April 2002 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Payday! So I got:

The Fall - The Marshall Suite

Alice Coltrane - Eternity

+/- - self-titled long-playing debut album

Soilent Green - String of Lies EP

Madison Avenue - Don't Call Me Baby single

All good stuff, especially the Alice Coltrane record. How come no one ever told me she was good before? I avoided her for years because of the Santana connection and now I feel silly.
