Currently listening to Stationary Traveller by Camel.

Theres fuck all wrong with bangers . . .
Never said there was son.
However, if you were to take the time to understand the story behind both albums you'd perhaps understand why I mention this.
This is not a feelgood story. It's southern gothic.
One of the best albums I've ever heard.
Religion. Abuse. Sexuality. Happiness. Canibalism (yes, really). Death. And resurrection.
Not 'easy' listening by any means, but fucking hell, rewarding.
Also, absolutely no 'bangers'. Thank fuck.

i just saw that Ethel is BBC 6 Music artist in residence this week, so might be of interest.

Going to see an Arctic Monkeys tribute band next week, so I'm in the process of making a playlist of their hits, so I can familiarize myself in zee gym
hopefully they play the earlier stuff, you can't wrong with any of the tracks on the first two albums
I’ve never really tried the Arctic Monkeys. I’ll give those first two albums a go.

Listening to a minidisc I recorded a while ago consisting of my favourite tracks from the first three Sophie B Hawkins albums.
I can't help noticing that Hawkins sounds a bit like Hawkwind. You old raptorphile.
anyway. Back on Hawkwind. Church of Hawkwind. Absolutely cracking album

Man - Spunk Rock (Greasy Truckers Party (1972)). All 22:23 minutes of it.
It's a shame they fade it out only half way through. The Welsh spliff-heads were barely getting started.
Great stuff, though.

Thanks Sydney for posting Joe Jackson, I'm off digging through the record boxes now so nothing will get done for the rest of the day!
