Just listening to a bit of music while I decide whether to throw myself into the lion's den by posting (the lurker's dilemma at coming out into the open). Seventeen by the Regents just been on - a bit of nostalgia - and now listening to Cripple Crow by Devendra Banhart.

don't worry about that - there are a couple of old moth-eaten cats but they just roar every now and again and mostly sleep

Just listened to Bruce Springsteen in concert (The Seeger sessions) on Radio 2. Excellent and much better than Saturday night tele. Think I'll be singing 'Pay me my money down' tonight until Homer snaps and sellotapes my mouth shut

Bottle of Rioja is coming your way Poppy - fast!

missed this program but I've been listening to the album for a couple of weeks - it's great stuff and the accordion solo on "pay me my money down" is a belter - sounds as if it could be flaco jiminez but unfortunately I haven't got the sleevenotes....................

also just heard Neil Young's "Lets impeach the president" -

"Let’s impeach the president for lying
And leading our country into war
Abusing all the power that we gave him
And shipping all our money out the door

He’s the man who hired all the criminals
The White House shadows who hide behind closed doors
They bend the facts to fit with their new stories
Of why we have to send our men to war

Let’s impeach the president for spying
On citizens inside their own homes
Breaking every law in the country
By tapping our computers and telephones

What if Al Qaeda blew up the levees?
Would New Orleans have been safer that way?
Sheltered by our government’s protection
Or was someone just not home that day?

Let’s impeach the president
For hijacking our religion and using it to get elected
Dividing our country into colors
And still leaving black people neglected

Thank god he’s cracking down on steroids
Since he sold his old baseball team
There’s lot of people looking at big trouble
But of course the president is clean

Thank God"

As usual Old Neil doesn't miss and hit the wall

The last track from "Selected Ambient Works vol ii" by Aphex Twin

The one that sounds like a cathedral floating through space.

I like Ladies and Gentleman we are Floating through space (Spiritualized). The person speaking in the intro sounds like DJ Ines.

O.O.B.E. (live version)

The Orb

this live version starts with a slowed down sample from one channel of the intro of "I want to marry a lighthouse keeper" and is mixed in with samples from a Tape Beatles album. reworked, lush, and trippy as nowt.

The Road - Jackson Browne - it seems to fit perfectly with a rainy Tuesday evening.

The one off the album, not the Tammy Wynette version.

Someone sent me this

http://www.albinoblacksheep.com/flash/numa.php

It is laughingly referred to as "music". I am going to find the person who sent it and slowly roast him over a very low gas flame, then I will serve him up to Quisquenya and Cubanucab, my faithful bull mastiffs.

Watch this and I know you will understand and applaud my actions.

San Quentin, from The man in black.

Much to mrs m's disgust, the three magnoliettes have turned out to be raving Johnny Cash fans. Car journeys will never be the same!

Mr E's become a big JC fan too since we saw the film. You sure you were playing it in your house and it wasn't just the noise from ours filtering along?

I know it's way too early - but I'm already on 'Fun House'. Submit to it, and don't blame me if you don't want want to go to work tomorrow.

Problem is, there's nowhere to go after Fun House, except oblivion. I think I've gone too soon.

21st Century Aura are an ambient dub outfit I discovered on an old compilation called - er - "Ambient Dub vol. 1" which was an oasis in what then was a desert of bad techno.

They were part of the whole Club Dog / Drum Club / PWOG / MC Teabag / System 7 / Banco De Gaia hippy festy rave squat thing that it was incredibly hard to find out about because back then there was no internet, just the odd snide release and a bunch of PO Boxes.

Anyway, this record was playing when I walked into their roadshow at the arches in 93 and I've loved it ever since. It comes off the back of a track which seems to rip off Depth Charge, but I've never been able to work out who sampled who.

Anyway, it's instrumental ambient dub but with wobbling bass and loose skanky production and odd samples from the Monkees movie "Head" which is right up my street, plus others I've never been able to spot.

The short answer was "Yes" btw.
