Chris Difford

Both fantastic I reckon. Lyrics to die for.

Portishead - Third
Goldfrapp - Seventh Tree
Elbow - Seldom Seen Kid

Dig a fair bit:
Last Shadow Monkey Puppets - Age Of The Understatement
Blood Everywhere - Pop Up

Bon Iver - For Emma Forever Ago
(like it LOTS, but not remembering any of it in the shower)
Neon Neon - Stainless Style
Hercules & Love Affair (they get single of the year anyway)
Weezer - Village People album

Wh'appen?:

Radiohead - In Rainbows
Justice

Looking forward to:

Heck

my memory is so bad, I can scarcely remember albums I bought three weeks ago. But this year I have been sucuumbing to the serried delights of: Bob Mould's newie; My Morning Jacket's vastly underrated new one' Spiritualized's A and E; another tip to Elbow and REM's return to form.

It's the ladies round here

My three favourites are:

Kathleen Edwards - Asking for flowers
Eileen Rose - At our tables
Tift Merritt - Another country

plus MrsP's choices of:

Duffy - Rockferry

while the only man to show is Van. She's very keen on Keep it simple.

21 nil

to Mr Weller I am thinking, with his '22 Songs' - it's an embarassment of riches one might say. He even makes a jazz noise here and there, pointless noodler that he is.

a watershed year

kd lang "watershed" is still working its magic.

Stars "In our bedrooms after the war" is interesting

Elbow's is starting to grow (must see a doctor)

I'm still trying to puzzle out Burial.

Two oldies that i cant get enough of that i've bought
Supersession" Bloomfield, Kooper and Stills very interested inMike Bloomfield's output any recommendations out there??

"A Hard Road"-John Mayall, I first bought "Blues From Laurel Canyon" which I found tedious but hit the jackpot with "Hard Road" some top Peter Green if anyone is interested.
