So the 6th February comes around again, time to reflect, on the babes greatness and what might have been. I have to say though, with the advent of Twitter, et al, the way Munich is remembered by reds seems to have changed a lot over the last few years. I can't say I've got much time for it all, to cut to the chase, it's all got a bit scouse. The song under the clock, I admire that and the people that keep that alive, as for the rest, to be honest, I can live without it.
Music
Booka shade - Eve: The German techno duo's latest album doesn't disappoint, it's not their best, but more than good enough to be going on with, also a bit poppier than previous efforts.
Calibro 35 - Traditori di tutti: The Italian late 60's early 70's revivalists, psychedelia, film score enthusiasts also continue their fine run of albums, I could listen to their stuff on loop all day.
Cate le Bon - Mug museum: The welsh artists third album is possibly her best yet, hints of velvet Underground mesh with plenty of other seventies influences, no bog standard indie here.
Don Cherry - Live in Stockholm: Didn't really know much about Don Cherry except he was Neneh's father and he was a jazz musician, so this was a fascinating discovery. I'm not mad on all free jazz, I love some, can't listen to others, but this live recording from 1968 is excellent. Out there, but listenably, out there.
Jake Bugg - Shangri-La: There's two schools of thought on Bugg, he's a new big indie thing, or he's a comic book wanna be, he's a decent talent who can knock out a reasonably memorable tune, at this moment in time, he doesn't appear to be the new Oasis ( first two album Oasis that is), but he'll probably have to progress musically if he's to have a lengthy career.
Lorde - Pure heroin: Never really listening to the radio or even less what passes for the charts these days, I hadn't heard the New Zealand artist last year, though I did read about her. It's a pretty good album, pop rock, electro pop, if she develops, she's very young, she could be an artist to watch.
Tal National - Kaani: Niger's finest, excellent west African guitar outfit, if you like afro beat, you'll probably love this, though it's not quite on the same page as that musical style, it's close enough.
