Outrider (1988), Jimmy Page ...
...& "et al" ...incl., amongst many, Barrymore Barlow on drums, among others ...tho wot did JP need Barlow for, considering the general rigidness of teh rhtyhms, well that does escape me ...a coupla good tracks all in all, as it is ...and Chris Farlow's entrance in/to "Prison Blues" is quite fun ...otherwise, not exactly as abominable as Page's dickless collab with the dicklessss Coverdale, but ...nuff said, perhaps, already)

Pharrell, In My Mind (better than I remembered -- Reverend, what do you think of this?)

It's alright, generally better when he's singing than rapping, but I haven't spent that much time with it, maybe three listens or so.

Sounds from a Bygone Age vol. 3 - Dona Dumitru Siminica (fucking outstanding Romanian folk-pop from the 60s)

I didn't much like the new Fall album. But then I do like Are You Are Missing Winner which I think makes me unique among Fall fans!

Skream, Bruza, JME

Wings demo session - McCartney as overbearing ringleader but *damn* are they tight on "jet"/"Maybe I'm amazed"/ etc....

Guess he knew what he was doing.

Wow. Just reread the rest of the listening on this thread. Is everyone on a McCartney kick 2nite or wot?

Oh, wait. That was Saturday ; )

I have been listening to heaps of jazz lately. Like these things, which I've mostly listened to at work or picked up within the last week:

oh and bunches more, too. lots of alice coltrane. and john coltrane. and scattered bits of archie shepp (wherein black gypsy is probably my favorite.)

i'm very open to recommendations btw, considering i know nothing about 1950s jazz. i always found it a little boring.

Pseudo Existors - Stamp Out Normality (comp of UK KBD-ish band, great stuff)
Hyphy Hitz
Motorhead - Bastards

(I know nothing about jazz, sorry!)

Wow. Just reread the rest of the listening on this thread. Is everyone on a McCartney kick 2nite or wot?

this album is very gorgeous, dated in an extremely good way

Check Williams' drum solo about 13 minutes +/- into "Stuff."
