Bob Bell - Necropolis - I collect all kindsa Canadian stuff, mostly shitty (Quebec prog shelves are a problem right now), so it's nice to be able to fall back to the straight solid listens once in a while. Guitar tone, free fucking about and a big old b&w crotch shot.
Peter Zummo - Zummo With An X - RIYL: art school, Arthur Russell.
Steve Gunn - Way Out Weather - feels good to just settle into middle age sometimes.
Bill Evans - Waltz For Debby - listen I like BDP too but Scott LaFaro > Scott LaRock and it's not even close.
Baden Powell & Janine - Images On Guitar - I got nothing to say about this except that my copy sounds like shit and I hope yours is nicer.
Prince - "The Beautiful Ones" on repeat for a while, esp. that part where it's just straight up caterwauling. Spent some time trying to think of anyone these days who'd try so hard without apology or remove.
Manfred Janssen & Jim Vatour - Northern Services 7" - sometimes I get guys on Discogs sending me messages asking how records sound on accounta they're gonna buy 'em from some auction or something. Anyhow, this one sounds like Perth County Conspiracy without the conspiracy. Or maybe Pearls Before Swine if Tom Rapp agreed to be lobotomised in exchange for speech therapy. Nice line in two-man harmony, though.
Kate Bush - "Wuthering Heights" - more than anything these days it's the right hand heroics coming into the chorus that keeps me coming back. I mean I suppose to anyone with a lick of piano talent it's maybe not so impressive but to this clod it's Eno's ions in the ether.
Roxy Music - "End Of The Line" - I assume Ferry is double-tracked in the chorus here and I assume there's a reason they didn't do that all the time and I stand ready to be corrected on either matter.
Dogs - Too Much Class For The Neighbourhood - even in 1982. "Death Lane" is a handy argument settler and hey, RIP Dominique.
