Been enjoying this stoner rock band called Dead Meadow - discovered them on The Wire. Decent enough to just hit play and let the whole albums play out. Almost like Mars Volta meets the Grateful Dead.
also been on a War on Drugs binge, no filler albums.
The new Tool album is brilliant too.
Otherwise, got Guru’s Jazzmatazz series on repeat. Way ahead of its time.
Listen to loads of music. I have most albums from Prince, Depeche Mode, Talking Heads, Weller, Kraftwerk, Gary Numan, The Cure, Tame Impala, QOTSA, Radiohead, New Order, Bjork, PSB, NIN. Have a big vinyl disco and rare groove collection which is probably my first love.
I quite often find Marc Riley is on 6Music when I’m ferrying the lad about of an evening - well before March anyway - and I’ve rediscovered that love of guitar based indy stuff - the latest ones being Pigs Pigs Pigs Pigs etc., Savages , - Idols - sort of punk but not. Not as good as The Ruts obviously.
alistair They are great. I think they fell victim to the musical tribalism which used to abound at school. If you liked the Jam , The Who and Small Faces then Led Zeppelin and PF were way off side - with their greasy long hair, motorbikes and snakebite associations . All a bit Quadrophenia!
Set the controls for the heart of the Sun - it blew me away when I heard it only a couple years ago. Years before it’s time . I only heard it when Gerber nicked it for a remix.
alistair he is! he wrote all the songs and sang them with that voice - was amazed when he went solo and realised he was a bit more versatile than Wham Rap! Tbf - he had shown signs of it before - he wrote careless whisper when he was 17 on a bus journey between Bushey and Watford - as you do!
Neil Young is a firm fave
Have never listened to Tool before.
Can someone recommend me an album please?
Donna Summer
One of my most treasured disco records
Led Zeppelin. From Led Zep 1 to Physical Graffiti, they were peerless.
