| 282.1 | Some tempters... | VANGRD::SALLITT | At Highfield with a Walkman.... | Mon Dec 05 1988 20:56 | 33 |
| Ignore the node name folks, I'm being educated.
Try some of these for size:-
Michael Doucet and Cajun Brew "Hot Cajun Rhythm and Blues" on Special
Delivery (can't recall the number),
Clive Gregson and Christine Collister "Home and Away" (Cooking Vinyl)
and "Mischief" (Special Delivery),
Brendan Croker and the Five O'clock Shadows "A Close Shave" (Unamerican
Activities),
Le Rue "Le Rue" , same label as Croker,
Blues 'n' Trouble , any album; they've only made 3 to my knowledge,
I've got them all and none of them would I be without. Usual label
is Ammunition.
Steve Philips "Best of....", same label as Croker,
Ted Hawkins "On The Boardwalk: The Venice Beach Tapes" and "Dock
of The Bay: Venice Beach Tapes Vol.2", both on American Activities.
The first is better than the second, but both are worth having.
The Prowlers "Livin' Outside The Law", UnAmerican Activities.
American Activities and UnAmerican Activities are labels put out
by Hotshot Records of Leeds.
Alright then, you musical iconoclasts, let's have some more......

| 282.2 | My 2pence worth... | WELMTS::GREENB | Some of these bricks explode | Tue Dec 06 1988 09:56 | 23 |
| Anything by my current favourites, all reasonably well known but
not Casio top 40 stuff - Costello, Commotions, The Fall, Good old
Billy, the under-rated Christians, The Pogues, The Men they couldnt
Hang, REM, Martin Simpson, Bhundu Boys, Tom Waits...
Another vote for Ted Hawkins - that voice!
Going back a bit - John Cale, Captain Beefheart, Nick Drake, Roy
Harper, Hatfield and the North, King Crimson, rediscovering early
Bowie, the Doors, Van Morrison
50's rhythm and blues, and straight blues
60's 'new wave' (ugh) jazz like Coltrane. Thelonius Monk, Mingus.
Just gotta cut through the garbage you hear *everywhere*, don't
be fooled by fashion and keep those ears open, there's loads of
good stuff if you can get to it...

| Here's my all time favourites of the moment:
Getz/Gilberto by Stan Getz and Jo�o Gilberto. (Black cover with orange
pattern); NOT The Getz/Gilberto Collection which is a diabolical
recording. I suppose I'd describe their music as 'light jazz'. It is
fantastic. It's got 'The girl from Ipanema' on it. My favourite tracks
are 'Doralice' and 'So danco amor'. Enthuse enthuse.
Also Astrud Gilberto's greatest hits. This music is essentially the
same as the above, but all the tracks have Astrud singing and no
instrumental only tracks.
Other faves include: Tinita Tikaram's 'Ancient Heart' album, which is
fab. Suzanne Vega's 'Solitude Standing', Sting's 'The Dream of the Blue
Turtles', Latin Quarter's 'Modern Times' (a bit Casio-ish, that one)
and almost anything by Renaissance.
In fact, just thinking about this music makes my eyes water, I haven't
heard any decent music in two days :-( as I've had to dismantle my stereo
so I can decorate my lounge. (anyone know how to get emulsion paint
stains off: carpets, clothes, tables, chairs, windows, video, CD's,
cassettes, camera, glasses, hair, cat, books etc. etc.).
Steve.

| 282.4 | a few more diverse selections ... | 45466::STONE | One Day, doubtless, cloudless bright | Tue Dec 06 1988 14:58 | 47 |
| Well, as you asked :-
The Church - Any or preferably all of their albums
The Church (Of Skins And heart in Oz)
The Blurred Crusade
Seance
Remote Luxury
Heyday
Starfish
Conception (compilation)
another double compilation I can't remember
"Heyday" and "Starfish" are definitely worth a listen.
Grateful Dead of course !! see ATSE::GRATEFUL for ideas.
The Byrds - History of Vol I & II are probably best to
start with.
Tom Petty - Particularly "Pack up the Plantation Live!".
Dylans latest
The Travelin' Wilburys - absolutely brilliant.
BeBop Deleuxe - esp. "Crying to the Sky" from "Sunburst Finish"
Rush - New Live album out in Jan. but check out "2112" or
"Moving Pictures".
Demon - "The Unexpected Guest", and "Breakout"
Climax Blues Band - new album out yesterday.
Johnny Waterhouse Blues Band - Tapes avail. from Wilkes Head,
St Edwards Street. Leek. Staffs.
and of course not forgetting the amazing Hawkwind circa 74-77
with "Quark, Strangeness and Charm", "Astounding Sounds, Amazing
Music" and "Hall of the Mountain Grill".
Graham_the_all_Electric_Hippy
PS. Another vote for Blues 'n Trouble.

First you have the ones with expensive CASIO's who know how to play
and write :
The The - "Infected" & "Soul Mining"
Thomas Dolby - "Aliens ate my Buick!" & "The Flat Earth"
Talk Talk - "The Colour of Spring" etc.
Prefab Sprout - The brilliant "Steve McQueen" & "Swoon"
Then you get the back to basics stuff.
Michele Shocked - "Short Sharp Shocked"
Fairground Attraction - "First of a million kisses"
Clive Gregson & Christine Collister - "Mischief" & "Home and Away"
Finally you get the good time rock and roll.
Bob Seger & the Silver Bullet Band (Well I had to put that in even
though I'm not really that fond of it!)
Van Morrison - Poetic Champions Compose.
Try any of these, and you'll never want to listen to a CASIO again!!
Mark.

> What's the Neil Young and the Bluenotes like?
Very bluesy, I've heard 'Ten Men Working' on the radio so
maybe it was a single, he has another 9 musicians playing
in the band, hence the title.
In the title track he slags off tour sponsorship by big business.
I think they'd be great live, anyone stateside seen them ??
