Music

Duke Garwood - Heavy Love: Enjoyed this, very Mark Lanegan like, not surprisingly he has recorded with him recently.

Jane Weaver - The Amber Light: Mark Riley has gone pretty big for her over the last few months and I can see why, it's a pretty good modern Psych/Folk album.

Jon Spencer Blues Exploson - Freedom Tower No Wave Dance Party: Their last album was excellent and they're a groupI really like, but though it has it's moments, this isn't up their with their best work.

Josh Rouse - Embers of Time: Not Earth shattering, but fairly enjoyable from the US singer/songwriter.

Kate Pierson - Guitars & Microphones: Pretty good solo album from the former B52 member.

Polar Bear - Same as You: A breath of fresh air when they appeared on the scene, they seem to be veering slowly away from their modern experimental jazz to a more electronica/jazz for want of a better word. I like this album, it's pretty good with a couple of great tunes on it, but I thinki prefer their earlier sound.

The Amorphous Androgynous - The Wizards of Oz: Future Sound of London's alter ego delivers a superb compilation of psychedelia from down under, it really is full of cracking tunes assembled brilliantly.

The Supernaturals - 360: I thought they were a decent band, and hadn't heard they had got back together. They haven't lost their knack for a catchy tune, though possibly not quite as immediately in your head as at their peak.
