This week, I've heavenly played:

Prince's Rave UN2 The Joy Fantastic

Michael Jackson's HIStory

&

Prince's Lovesexy


Which albums have you played heavenly this week!!

i've had one of those rare weeks where i've bought new music and i've been loving all of it - namely, the new album by new order, the stereolab b-sides box set, and the cure's reissue of 'faith'.

This week I've been listening to Chet Baker and George Michael. Very different artists, but both are great. I enjoy any cd from either of these guys, at any time.

"not dark yet" is a fantastic song.

Since Tuesday I've been listening only to "Devils and Dust" by Bruce Springsteen but early in the week I dug out my Lenny albums since I'm going to see him soon.

Not dark yet is my favourite song on that cd. In fact, the entire cd is great! As far as the other one

kisscamille said:

Don't get ignorant about MB. U actually heard the cd . Good mellow rnb. yeah "not dark yet" is my fav too. I was listening to "things have changed" today. Such a good song.

U know Dylan and Michael Bolton wrote a song together dont u?

I admit I think iam the only one to like both artists. Iam slowly getting into more dylan.

here is this weeke's top 5!

1) Fischerspooner - Oddysey
2) NIN - With Teeth
3) Visage (Best of)
4) MIA - Arular
5) Will Smith - Lost and found

I don't really want to know anything about Michael Bolton , but Dylan rocks! I love him and I think he's the greatest lyricist of our time. Get "blood on the tracks". It's awesome!

kisscamille said:

Ok u forced me into it. Track they both wrote together is called "steel bars". it is off MB's "time love and tenderness" album.



It is dylan is delivery in places with a very strong middle 8 that has phrasing just like dylan. Good track. Don't hate bolton. iam amazed dylan liked him but then thats dylan for ya! But it is a really nice and surprisenly rocky track.

Split Enz - History Never Repeats

Siouxsie & the Banshees - Nocturne (live)

Crowded House

The Cure - Faith (my cassette version, not the remaster)

this week, i 'ave been mostly listening to:


The Eels - Blinking Lights and Other Revelations (exploring E's new bunch of heartbreakers)

M.I.A. - Arular (i'm finding this massively addictive)

Beck - Guero (still)

and...

Prince - Atlanta '80 (again)

And about to add...



Damn Amazon edit.

I don't think I've played any album more than once this week. Here's my list:

Prince - The Black Album

Annie - Anniemal
Sarah Cracknell - Lipslide
(back to back--I was sorta comparing the two)

The Raveonettes - Whip It On
The Raveonettes - Chain Gang Of Love
(saw them live last night)

sextonseven said:

which version of lipslide do you listen to? i need to make some kind of composite compilation of the US & UK versions, and of course 'kelly's locker' with all the extra stuff...

I've listened to Julian Cope's Peggy Suicide from start to finish every night after work this week. I hadn't listened to a second of that album for ten years, and suddenly it's become a complete obsession. Go figure...

The only other album I've played in its entirety this week is John Lennon's Plastic Ono Band - and I seem to be enjoying the last four songs from American Music Club's Mercury an awful lot these days.

Ben Folds- Songs for Silverman (the best album I've heard in probably 3 years) Everyone needs to hear this, he's the best songwriter of the current generation....

Also, been listening to my new album "Joel Gone Wild"- I'll have some songs up soon on myspace.com soon- check it out sometime next week!

This week's top 5 are:

#5 Kate Bush "Hounds Of Love"
#4 The Killers "Hot Fuss"
#3 Björk "Medúlla"
#2 Prince "Crystal Ball" (1CD compilation made by ME )
#1 Fleetwood Mac "Rumours" (2CD edition)

Bruce Springsteen: Devils and Dust (great)
Pink floyd: Dark Side of the moon (amazing)
Neil Young: Unplugged (emotional)

replacements (st)
the smiths - singles
sam cooke - best of
george michael - listen without prejudice
ramones (st)
madonna - bedtime stories
coldplay - parachute
teena marie - la doña
gwen stefani - l.a.m.b.
the clash - london calling

go you!

when i get in a mood for that album i tend to do the same thing. it's just one of those rare records where there are TONS of songs on it (it feels that way, anyway), and even though some tracks are stronger than others, ya never want to hit the skip button.

every few years i'll completely gorge myself on peggy suicide, then i'll get burnt out on it all over again...

hey amy!

Anxiety said:

Yeah, I knew that thread was there, honest


Thanks, good review, has whet my appetite again

Anxiety said:

I try to buy U.S. versions whenever possible. Y'know, 'support our boys', 'George W.', and all that junk.

sextonseven said:

i do too, but just because i'm cheap like that.

'lipslide' was only available as an import for the longest time before the US version came out - the track listings on both are pretty wildly different. then they released 'kelly's locker' as an ep to make up for tracks that weren't on the US version, and to add on some b-sides and remixes from the import singles. the whole thing was kind of a mess, but if you have the US version you have all the good stuff anyway.
