New albums to listen to
Paul Weller: As Is Now - I liked his last one which was an album of covers but now he has returned from his songwriting break with a punchy and rocking affair.
Texas: Red Book - I thought their last few studio albums were a bit luke warm as I much prefer their Southside and Rick's Road albums. This one though does hit the spot for me. The collaboration with Paul Buchannan from the Blue Nile is great as well.
Nine Horses (David Sylvian collaboration): Snow Borne Sorne - As with Texas, his last couple of albums were not as easily accessible but this definitely brings him back to the fore. A much fuller album lyrically and sonically.
The Observer seem to like it and have awarded it 5 stars.
The building where I am working will shortly have serviced office
spaces being made available for renting. The whole block has many techonology
and Internet based companies working there and is getting to be a small
hotbed of innovative IT businesses in Bournemouth.
Managed to catch the last part of their reunion concert. I am going to
have to get the DVD so I can watch it all from start to finish. Form
what I saw, Clapton, Baker and Bruce were on top form. it also shows
that drugs and alcohol can take their effect on your looks. Clapton
looks the freshest and healthiest of them all.
