So now I'm moving on to this Gryff Rhys and Boom Bip's concept album about the DeLorean Car

Neon Neon - Stainless Style

R-1286147-1297545851.jpeg.jpg

 

I quite like this, but it did cause me to go out and buy some Boom Bip. Which was an error.

I recommend going out for a quiet walk or slowdrive when it gets dark and listening to this.

So moody and dystopian. 

If the rozzers question anyone, just say you’re a pimp from out of town, settling old scores.

I saw Curtis Mayfield on BBC4 on Friday and it was a track from his Roots album. That album has been on non stop since (not really but you get what I am saying) just about to order it. Excellent album.

I'd like to see you sell that to your 20 year old self :)

'Kind Of Blue' & 'In A Silent Way' are more accessible.

Precisely why streaming rocks.

That’s actually one of the Boom Bip CD’s that I picked up, and you know what, it even annoys me that its got that fake coffee cup ring on the textured paper cover.

I know that downloads and the youtubes are a safer way of operating, but hey, I don’t gable, I don’t drink and I don’t do drugs, so it’s my one bit of living on the edge to spend folding money on a punt on a record. I’m right more often than I’m wrong!

You know what, I’ve never known what iirc meant.

I’ve actually just bothered to look it up for the first time ever.

At least some good has come from all this death and economic destruction.

Completely agree, though to be fair another 5 years and I'd have probably listened as I was fully Spirit of Eden'ed up by then and sharing a flat with a sound engineer whilst heavily on the weed

There are pictures of me very much Glastonburyed up from the early 90s the weed was also responsible.

No thrill ofbuying a speculative purchase and it turns out to be mint though, it's instanly dogshit and off. Paying for the product at least means you give it a chance

I do stream, I do it to discover new things too but that really doesn't stop me making speculative purchases either. Streaming will never replace the sheer excitement of a first play on a physical format.

I'm talking more about acts that didn't sustain a whole album's worth of material.

I like 'Raspberry Beret', but don't like Prince, I like 'Crazy Horses' but don't like the Osmonds.

Gave up buying albums for one track years ago.

There's a bloke with a market stall in Llanidloes that sells 7" singles for a quid for that kind of stuff. It's where I buy my ABBA :mrgreen:

Honestly - Surface noise wasn't acceptable in the 20th Century :) 

Most of what he sells is in really good  condition tbh, he claims most of them have never been played because he bought an absolute f**ton of records most of which were supposedly destined for jukeboxes then CD Jukeboxes eventually took over. He claims to have lots of containers of them which he's yet to even open
