Parallel Lines - Blondie

For anybody in the UK, Woolworths has a fantastic CD sale at the moment. I picked this reissue up for Â£4. They also have Johnny Cash Fulsom Prison Blues for Â£1, Paul Weller's debut solo album and Wild Wood for Â£2 and Â£3 respectively, The Verve Urban Hymns for Â£4 and other great bargains.

Listen to it here: http://www.dominorecordco.com/site/inde ... easeID=641

Saw it featured as a part of a documentary series (Great Australian Albums) over the weekend, so I've been giving it a spin. Here are a couple of short clips from the documentary -

Hissing of Summer Lawns -Joni Mitchell. What an amazing talent. I can sense this is the beginning of a long friendship between Joni and myself.

Too damn hot, Mood. I'm feelin' your pain here as well.

Keep thinking those cool water thoughts.

I'm listening to some classic X. I haven't heard this stuff for awhile and I am totally digging 'Your Phone's off the Hook, But You're Not' and 'Johnny Hit and Run Pauline'.

I'm not, I'm jealous. It's 18C max here today (64F?), and absurdly cold and grey and miserable for the time of year. I can hardly remember what heat feels like. I'm getting SAD. Everyone else has had blistering temperatures. Feel my pain (OK, we haven't been flooded in this part of England, nor had hurricanes, but still ...).

Don't be SAD.

Currently listening to the swish-swish-whack of Pawli's tail against the floor as she tries to get me to rub her belly one more time.

well, I started out trying to make lemonade with songs featuring the word sun. Then, I said screw that and embraced the anger.

On a heavy Squeeze kick since seeing them a couple of weeks ago. ARGYBARGY and SWEETS FROM A STRANGER in particular.

Hello Val (Is calling you Val O.K.?) It's always nice to meet someone with similar musical tastes.

At the moment I am listening to John Prine's Souvenirs. 'Angel From Montgomery' just came on. He is playing here in Pgh. in December and I am getting reacquainted with his voice.

I read your post, ice, and went to dig thru my old emails cos I knew there was a preshow sale for that show. Only it was on 8/9. Should be a good one anyway!

I'm only now just discovering John Hiatt's Bring The Family. Excellent.

These three:

(Not the Lesley Garrett, thank you.)

I can't even find images of the covers to link to! having had the huge pleasure of seeing the great man in a very small venue recently, it's odd to hear him live in his heyday from big London venues and Glastonbury. This is all great stuff for any hardcore Lloydfan, and a great way of tracing his evolution, but the '95 solo Lloyd show is the winner for me (absurdly dismissed in The Word by Andrew Collins for the vocals). Fantastic setlist (touring Love Story, playing the best of both the Commotions period and his early solo stuff), and a cracking band with Neil Clark on guitar, and the quite superb Rafa Maciejak or however you write his Polish surname, on drums, solid as a rock, just as he is on the Negatives LP. Interesting sleeve notes from Lloyd about him, the previous drummer, Robert Qune and various other things. The annoying thing is that the '95 show is followed unchronologically (unlike the pattern of the Commotions volumes) by a '90 session, with Quine sounding great. There's a lovely cover of Lou Reed's I'm Just A Gift To The Women of This World on that session. It's great stuff, and so welcome as an official release.

I never cared for her big hit, "Tom's Diner," but am loving Suzanne Vega's new one:

I'm really loving this latest discovery of mine :

I can't get the wonderful "St. Peter" from this album off my head.

And I've just read he supported our Elv on some tour a few years ago.
