Not got much to say really, on the day when another statue is unveiled at the club. Personally if i had been mega successful in my career and my employers had proposed building a statue of me, i would have laughed and told them politely, to do one.
I don't even get where the club are going with this, a stand named after him and now a statue, it's almost Stalinesque. These things should surely be way down the line. Nevertheless i suppose i'll be in a minority on this, as usual. Even off the pitch, at things we once did with a bit of class, the club seems to be going down all the wrong route's at the moment.
Music
Albert Ayler trio - Spiritual unity: Free jazz was something i thought i would enjoy more than i have discovered i do. It has it's moments, but it's not something you would ever put on repeat.
Antibalas -Antibalas: The latest album from the US based Afrobeat collective delivers the goods again, excellent stuff.
Bill Fay - Life is people: The comeback album from the British Rodriguez?, probably not. This is an excellent album from the folkie that made two albums in the early 70's before giving up on the music biz.
Delicate Steve - Positive force: A second album hot on the heels of his impressive debut highlights his musical prowess. It focuses more on instrumentals, but is just as good, it may even be better, i haven't made my mind up, still.
Julia Holter - Ekstasis: The US female leftfield singer/songwriter follows up her slowburning ambient-ish debut with a more song based follow up. It's good , it's hard to describe it as better, as it's a pretty big departure from it's predecessor.
Toy - Toy: Like fellow UK indie outfit the horrors, this bears the heavy imprint of the Krautrock motorik rhthym. It's an seriously good first album, can they follow the horrors, in following it up.
