Nice choice Ivor, really like Coles Corner. His new one's supposed to be pretty good too. Haven't heard it yet though.

Elbow- the seldom seen kid...

prob my favourite rock recording of recent times, incredibly realistic esp drum tracks, great sense of space, being let down by my iPhone only!!

I picked up this gorgeous double LP set this evening after all the recent posts here. I'm only familar with Trueloves Gutter and this one is a little different but pretty good I think. I'll have to delve into the back catalogue.

Exquisite taste as always John :) Amazing! I knew what to expect as I'm getting familiar with your taste at this stage! But.....wham! That stunning guitar solo distorted to f##k is a thing of beauty....A must check!

Edit: The YouTube clip sounds like Badfinger's Without You, doesn't it? I see it's available on double vinyl from Norman Records :) However the review is not too complimentary :(

It's a bit all over the place,some good some ??.Have a listen to the song 'DIE' on youtube,listen from start to finish and you'll see what i mean..

Know nothing about the triffids but there was an interesting piece about Dave McComb in the april issue of The Word.
Go Betweens - Great band. Saw them supporting REM back in 89/90 in the RDS.

picked up on Record Day, this lovely 5 track EP

On the spinner...Sublime Fender sounds here. Shortest review ever.

Saw the original Triffids band live :) Brings back memories.... Tarrilup Bridge is particularly chilling. Wasn't that Go Between's Lp their second last one? Never got to hear the last one....


Tarrilup Bridge

packed my bag
Left a note on the fridge
And I drove off the end of the Tarrilup Bridge.

Now you read about me in the papers
They say I'm going to be a big star
They're making a movie about my life
And you're going to play the starring part

Now my drinking days are over
Get this through your head:
I was the best friend you ever had

Yes I was your best friend
You were my blinding sun
Now the only thing bright is my name in lights
And the night has only just begun

I packed my bag
Left a note on the fridge
And I drove off the end of the Tarrilup Bridge.

Cattle and Cane = magic :)
