Today, I have mostly been listening to ...

CloudNine

This Radar Brothers tune was sounding nice today in the sun. Slow, but lovely:

I listened to Jack Rose for the first time ever today, but somehow the thing that sticks in my head is this...

this morning is being soundtracked by random Savages tracks off YouTube. I'm not sure that I love 'em but,to my ear,they are a 21st century Bauhaus. On Later this week:

Wow - Ive never listened to an Ian Hunter record - or even a moot the hoople one in fairness - I like this though..... it has a sort of languid groove. 

Where would be a good place to start?

@Placidcasual79 I would start with his first, self-titled solo LP. He worked a lot with Mick Ronson, although for contractural reasons (I think) Ronson's not always listed. Ronson's playing on the track I posted above. Another good Hunter solo album is All American Alien Boy.

A good intro to Mott The Hoople might be Mott, it's got some great songs inc. I Wish I Was Your Mother. The Bowie produced All The Young Dudes is a good listen.

Another little Ian Hunter gem is his book Diary of a Rock & Roll Star about touring America after the success of All The Young Dudes. Hunter was a guitar nut and there's lots of trawling pawn shops for unloved LP Jnrs etc. It's a great read.
