Buddha and the Chocolate Box- Cat Stevens
First listen, so far so excellent (only 2 songs in mind). Interestingly enough, bought it from Amazon marketplace and it seems the seller is also from Bolton. Small world.

Re: What are you playing tonight?
I've done something that I keep telling myself not to do - order an album without having heard a single thing on it (Gaslight Anthem's latest bag-o'-shite, anyone?). But anyway, I've read too many good reports and too much talk of 'a stomping return to form' for them all to be wrong - so now on order I have Static on the Airwaves, the new album from The Levellers!
May the bridges I burn light your way
Re: What are you playing tonight?
I buy a lot of stuff without having heard anything from it, more exciting that way! I've bought things from bargain bins based purely on the album cover and unearthed a few gems.Bruce Rioja wrote:I've done something that I keep telling myself not to do - order an album without having heard a single thing on it (Gaslight Anthem's latest bag-o'-shite, anyone?).

Did exactly that with Bruce's Counting Crows recommendation -August & everything after - really starting to enjoy it.Beefheart wrote:I buy a lot of stuff without having heard anything from it, more exciting that way!

Just give in to it on an emotionally lyrical level as much as on a musical level. It's a companion for life.Harry Genshaw wrote:Did exactly that with Bruce's Counting Crows recommendation -August & everything after - really starting to enjoy it.

Re: What are you playing tonight?
Leonard Cohen's Ten New Songs.
Liked, very much, at first listen.
Listened again...
Alexandra Leaving is stunning for all that have loved and lost - at my age I've managed multiple occurrences.
A Thousand Kisses Deep is a Cohen classic of desire fulfilled then lost. Done that too. More than once.
For those that enjoy the miseries of truth and the joys of recollection - buy... Not suitable for the under-40s...

Re: What are you playing tonight?
Just to check have people listened to Frank Ocean's album, Channel Orange? Might not be what you perceive to be 'up yer street', but it really is a superbly crafted set of songs.

Re: What are you playing tonight?
My wife's off to our daughter's place this afternoon. In her absence I intend to run through Modest Mussorgsky's Pictures at an Exhibition. The CD hasn't been played for a year or two but my dipping into Gershwin and Bernstein the other day brought it back to mind as a 'best re-visit' item.

How will you cope ?
Not advocating mass-murder as an entirely positive experience, of course, but it had its moments.
