Thanks for the reminder (wanders off to buy Notes Falling Slow -- which turned out to be surprisingly cheap [US$16 for a box set worth of music] for lossless download version from their website...hour download though).

In the meantime:

 

Still in an 80's mood.

Pink Floyd - Animals

Horace Parlan - Speakin' My Piece

 

Going to work a little later than usual, so more New Wave. This time letting Nick Heyward take me back to the beginning...

I need to name a pet Leroy Vinnegar.

Great name for a pet prairie dog. 

PJ Harvey Rid of me

Macy Gray : “Stripped” (Chesky Records, 2016)

https://open.spotify.com/album/4mWblXjBpl7QjsjcVGq0hT

Macy Gray (vocals)
Wallace Roney (trumpet)
Ari Hoenig (drums)
Daryl Johns (double bass)
Russell Malone (guitar)

Enjoying it a lot, unexpected output for a R&B artist.

Is my favorite poet of middle age and regret. 

In a similar vein, I've been in a Guy Clark mood today.

Nels Cline -- Lovers 

Lots of people will like this record, but I think @blessingx should definitely give it a listen.  I'm going to see it live in the Spring at SFJazz, so other locals should check it out to see if they want to join in...

Ana Popovich with her dad. Pretty cool for Ana fans.

Cardiacs, Sing to God -- unholy carp, this is gloriously mental.

Shape of Despair, Monotony Fields -- a nice return to form after Illusions's Play (2004 album that followed the epic Shades of... and Angels of Distress) and Shape of Despair (2005 album).  There's also Written in My Scars EP which I will have to check out, but it's not on their bandcamp.  And apparently they have a first album/demo, Alone in the Mist.

Doom Metal -- the slowest, most funereal doom metal.  Spine-tinglingly great.

EDIT:  Oh, okay, it (Alone in the Mist) is by a previous incarnation, "Raven":

 

Houses of the Holy.  Not my pic, but a NM of the same pressing.

^I have the original vinyl. The cover still shocks - I cannot imagine anyone producing an album cover like that now. Saw them live in '73.

The Cure -- Disintegration

Thanks for the heads up on this Iain.

^ Most likely aptly named!

Very dark, but very powerful...

Am I the only one who doesn't understand why Leon Russell didn't become an absolute super star? He has it all.
