I recently got The Return Of The Clerkenwell Kid, though I have not had much time to give it a good listen yet, between the travel and all of the other great listening material people have shared with me recently.

eBay purchase. What a beautiful album. Between this and Shack's ...Here's Tom With The Weather, H.M.S. Fable and Waterpistol, the Head brothers have produced some of the most criminally underappreciated music of recent years.

I've got the John Prine dvd Live From Sessions at West 54th on while the railroad tracks behind the house hum along underneath the weight of an Amway.

I should have ended that last sentence with something more poetic sounding than "Amway." Sadly, U.S. Steel & Co. doesn't exactly fill the meter with glowing imagery either.

Last saturday night I got married
Me and my wife settled down
But me and my wife have parted
I’m gonna take another stroll downtown

Irene goodnight (goodnight irene)
Irene goodnight
Goodnight irene, goodnight irene
I’ll get you in my dream

Stop your ramblin’
Stop your gamblin’
Stop stayin’ out late, late at night
Go home to your wife and your family
Sit down by your fireside so bright

Irene goodnight (irene)
Irene goodnight
Goodnight irene, goodnight irene
I’ll get you in my dream

I love irene and I swear I do (yes)
Love ’er, love ’er, love ’er, love ’er, love ’er
Love ’er, love ’er, love ’er, love ’er
Still the sea runs dry
And if irene ever turns her back on me
I’m gonna take morphine and die

Irene goodnight
Goodnight, goodnight, goodnight
Goodnight, goodnight, goodnight
Irene goodnight
Goodnight irene, goodnight irene
I’ll get you in my dream

Didn't know you were a Bristol Rovers fan, LTZ. Shame they lost 0-1 at home to Torquay yesterday.

Are you kidding? I wouldn't miss a single game Otis! Go Rovers!

a very treasured gift.

Simply the best!

Just had Bach Cello Suite 5 on the Radio 3 Bachathon, stunning, and now yet another cantata, boring!

And I shouldn't listen to it, because I'm mad at him. He was only chatting me up to get Kirsty Maccoll's phone number. Which I guess would be something to have. And I had it. At least in my dream.

An amazing bargain. Four discs of some of the greatest music ever produced for $25. Better sound than the Sony/Columbia versions by a country mile.

It's got one of my favourite Clash songs - Mick Jones-sung "Stay Free".

Unbelievably, I'd never really heard this before and yesterday my increasingly cool nearly 13-year-old laddy came back from Fopp with a £5 copy on the strength of having liked some of the footage of them in Ramones: End of the Century (cue satisfied sigh and deeply proud 'That's my boy!'). It was always on my mental list of 'must buys', but never quite got bought, and I've never known anyone put it on or anything. Of course I've heard bits of it before, but never the whole thing. Sounds great, as expected, and very 'now', so my son is gonna love it straight off. Kids have their uses...

Less up my street is his Christmas request of Back In Black, but I took a chance on the Dual Disc, and sure enough the CD won't play on my Mac, but the DVD includes a surround sound audio version, which sounds pretty amazing on my 2.1 speaker system, so must be fantastic on 5.1. It does, at least, play in all other CD players in the house.

Any other fans of the Raveonettes? Found it in a record store where someone had mistakenly filed it with the soundtracks, am loving it. It's sweeter and lighter than Whip It On.

Otis, I am having trouble believing your last post. Never heard Marquee Moon? I'm awfully disappointed in you.

Personally I only just got it a few months back. However I live in a hole!

Seriously I can't tell you how much obviously cool music I don't know... Thanks for the Ravonettes rec!

Mug, even holes have music in them. Tabloids, not always, but music, yes.

Well they were American. Actually, though, I have had a surprising lack of good musical influence from others a lot of the time (until I came here, of course - the kindness and good guidance I have never met or only a couple of times or so has been remarkable!). Most of the great music I've got into has been through self-discovery rather than someone saying 'listen to this', and so no-one ever exposed me to that. It's a standing personal joke that I've kept away from it for so long. I bet you have records like that too, things you know you should have heard by now and would confess to not.
