August 30, 201312 yr ^^ Approve! Me, very shortly... Neko Case - The Worse Things Get, The Harder I Fight, The Harder I Fight, The More I Love You
August 31, 201312 yr "Disco" - Pet Shop Boys A Goodwill find in vinyl. Shep Pettibone's extra-long remixes of "Love Comes Quickly" and "West End Girls" are sublime. Takes me back. Way back.
September 1, 201312 yr While watching the Real Madrid - Athletic de Bilbao (real)football match, listening to Dave Douglas Quintet - Live at the Jazz Standard [12-set] at Douglas website Considering if purchasing the whole package at $100. I'm ending track 12, which I'm afraid is as far as one can listen.
September 4, 201312 yr Author Just realizing that Neko does a cover of Robyn Hitchcock's Madonna of the Wasps, which is really quite cool.
September 5, 201312 yr Just realizing that Neko does a cover of Robyn Hitchcock's Madonna of the Wasps, which is really quite cool. The album on the whole is great. It's been in heavy rotation since they accidentally shipped it to me in advance of the official launch last week. I can't imagine anyone who was a fan before being disappointed.
September 9, 201312 yr Thanks to NPR, I'm listening to the new Elvis Costello "and the Roots" album, called Wise Up. Must say I'm quite impressed with the ever expandable talents of the ole boy. It's kind of funky and definitely fun. Just placed my order at Amazon. http://www.npr.org/2013/09/08/219316721/first-listen-elvis-costello-the-roots-wise-up-ghost?sc=fb&cc=fmp
September 9, 201312 yr Sorry, the album is called "Wise Up Ghost" -- just got to the title track and while it's listenable, it's probably my least favorite on the album.
