CD#353 Steely Dan - Countdown To Ecstasy
More cool West Coast grooves to ease into a Saturday morning.
CD#354 Sam Brown - 43 Minutes
A&M refused to release this because it didn't have a hit single on it. Idiots. Inspired to follow her own path by the illness of her Mum it was Sam being fully Sam and not a popstar writing and performing "hits".
CD#355 XTC - Wasp Star (Apple Venus Vol. 2)
Their last release, with just Andy Partridge and Colin Moulding left. Some interesting songs on here nevertheless.
CD#356 Pink Floyd - The Division Bell
Until the release of The Endless River 20 years later, this was the last studio album. Not always critically acclaimed, but there are a number of tracks that I really like, and that's all that matters.
CD#357 Marvin Gaye - The Very Best Of . . .
I really should get some of his studio albums but for now this is all I have.
CD#358 Led Zeppelin - Led Zeppelin IV
Because I came to Led Zeppelin late I'm still not tired of hearing Stairway To Heaven, which was handy.
CD#359 Counting Crows - New Amsterdam: Live At Heineken Music Hall.
Some cracking versions of some great songs, one or two I like more than the studio versions.
CD#360 Boo Hewerdine - Thanksgiving
I do like a bit of Boo, this one is from 1999.
CD#361 Various Artists - Help
A 1995 charity CD for children in war-stricken countries. Some interesting, some a bit rubbish, some originals and some covers.
CD#362 The Elected - Sun, Sun, Sun
Mostly quiet but sometimes loud, singer-songwriterish with some nice melodies, this is only the second time I've listened to it, I must do better.
CD#363 Blur - The Great Escape
Apparently The Universal was recorded with a ska feel to it originally, and rejected. It was worth the wait to hear it in its final form, one of my favourite Blur songs.
CD#364 Julia Nunes - I Wrote These
Her second album of ukulele and guitar driven singer-songwriter tunes.
CD#365 Primus - Antipop
Mad bass-led shenanigans.
CD#366 Lee Perry - Dub-Triptych
Three albums on two CDs - Cloak and Dagger, Blackboard Jungle Dub and Revolution Dub. Dubtastic!
CD#367 Smashing Pumpkins - Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness
You can't fault the ambition of a double album but most (if not all) could be trimmed to make a fantastic single album.
CD#368 Ned Evett - iStole
He's noted for playing a fretless guitar with a glass fingerboard. This isn't as mad as that might suggest.
CD#369 John Lennon - Lennon Legend
A 20 track Best Of.
CD#370 Eddie and the Hot Rods - Live and Rare
Some live tunes and some previously unreleased demos. I was once on the same festival bill as them and while it was glorious weather for us it absolutely tipped it down by the time they went on.
CD#371 The Barracudas - Complete EMI Recordings
Ba-ba-ra-ra-cu-cu-da-da!
CD#372 Gorky's Zygotic Mynci - The Blue Trees
Their 7th. Short and sweet, some instrumental, some in Welsh.
CD#373 Ocean Colour Scene - Marchin' Already
This could easily have been the second half of a double album with Moseley Shoals as the other half.
CD#374 Meshell Ndegeocello - Comfort Woman
Her 5th, full of slow bass grooves.
CD#375 Various Artists - Shine 7
One of a series of Indie compilation albums which led me to a lot of great bands.
CD#376 Be Bop Deluxe - Modern Music
Their fourth, considered by some to be their peak, certainly so in regard to chart success.
CD#377 Blur - Blur
It starts with Beetlebum followed by Song 2, then it all goes a bit mental.
Three done already today:
Day 88
CD#378 Gin Blossoms - Congratulations I'm Sorry
The follow up to the big breakthrough album, it's not hugely different but none the worse for that.
CD#379 Frank Zappa/Captain Beefheart - Bongo Fury
A curiosity in many ways, this arrived in the post one day and I still have no idea where it came from. It was addressed to me but I don't recall buying it, nor anyone letting me know it was on the way. It may be that someone somewhere is still annoyed with me for not acknowledging its arrival or sending payment.
CD#380 Rush - Permanent Waves
First up is everybody-who-doesn't-really-like-Rush's favourite Rush song.
CD#381 Stereophonics - Word Gets Around
A great debut album, though the first half is better than the second.
CD#382 XTC - Skylarking
My CD and vinyl both have the sanitised cover for faint hearts.
The first Rush album I bought as a new release, way back in 1980, and it's still my favourite even though I've got everything they've ever done.
Oh, I've got Bongo Fury too. I think that's the first time in this thread I've owned two albums in one post.
CD#383 Led Zeppelin - Houses Of The Holy
For quite a while in my youth D'yer Mak'er was my favourite Led Zep tune. I haven't given it much thought recently but it's quite possible this is still the case.
CD#384 Deacon Blue - Whatever You Say, Say Nothing
It's ok, but nothing really stands out that I'd want to hear again immediately.
CD#385 (John) Watts - Spiritual Headcase
I bought a lot of John Watts/Fischer Z all at the same time, listened to it once and put it aside (mostly because it didn't sound like his stuff I particularly like) but hearing this again it's much more interesting than I gave it credit for.
CD#386 People In Planes - Beyond The Horizon
When I bought the Liam Dullaghan CD (#207) from eBay this came free with it.
CD#387 Aztec Camera - Stray
I absolutely adored the first album but lost interest after the second, Roddy does write some great songs so I really ought to give his solo stuff a listen sometime.
CD#388 Led Zeppelin - Led Zeppelin
Led Zeppelin.
CD#389 Zwan - Mary Star Of The Sea
A brief interlude between Smashing Pumpkins albums, it sounds a lot like Smashing Pumpkins.
CD#390 Gwyn Ashton - Beg Borrow and Steel
Born in Wales, raised in Australia and at the time I bought this, running an open mic night in Bozeat. The album was recorded "live" in the studio in 12 hours and mixed in the following 8.
CD#391 Julia Nunes - Some Feelings
Her latest and most polished to date, another Kickstarter success I joined in with.
CD#392 Jon Roniger - My World
I bought this from Jon, who was in the UK playing small venues, including the one I was also playing at. I got a free T-shirt (which I still have somewhere).
CD#393 Eliza Carthy - The Definitive Collection
A mixture of very traditionally performed folk tunes and some more modern renditions.
CD#394 Homespun - Effortless Cool
The second of their three albums.
CD#395 XTC - Homespun
A collection of demo recordings that ended up on Apple Venus Vol. 1
CD#396 Boo Hewerdine - Toy Box No.1
A six song E.P. from 2008.
CD#397 The Story - The Angel In The House
The second and final album from Jonatha Brooke and Jennifer Kimball before they went their separate ways.
CD#398 The Who - A Quick One
An interesting mix of songs with some decidedly odd moments, including the band singing "cello cello cello" instead of actual cellos on one track because they couldn't afford them.
CD#399 Badly Drawn Boy - The Hour Of Bewilderbeast
This and Suede's debut are the only Mercury Prize winners I have on CD, I also have Portishead - Dummy on cassette.
Odd that you mention Portishead - kind of thing I really didn't get at the time but I might now, so they should be on the list for next time I'm streaming stuff.
