Just ordered Galaxies on vinyl.
Maybe the hardest trick in rock music is to do what John Peel credited as the singular ability of the Fall– to sound always different, but always the same. Plenty of groups have flourished by always being the same; plenty more artists see it as their duty to make sure each album sounds utterly unlike the one before. But to sustain a career without ever completely repeating yourself, yet never leave anyone wondering what the heck you’ve done to the group they loved, is something few manage to pull off. Ten albums and nearly 30 years into their career, Spoon still sound like Spoon: fresh, timeless and wholly in control of their work.
Aye, ‘La Grange’ from '73 got a play yesterday, great band.

The Who - Who Are You
Such cruel irony that Keith was photographed sat on a chair saying ‘Not to be taken away’. Just one month after the album’s release he was taken away from us.
Now playing…
