Folk- er…psych (I guess, if it has to labelled) from Slovenian trio Širom
I Can Be A Clay Snapper
Tak-Til CD

Fusing an eclectic range of instruments “global and handmade” and voice. Beautiful.

I have/had a 12” Single of “Under the Boardwalk” that he did. It had a couple of other tracks on it as well, if I remember correctly. It was done around the time he was making “Moonlighting” with Cyril Sheppherd I think.
He had a decent voice. I’ll have to look and see if I’ve still got it.

Is that hair or hat?

This album cover is a stroke of genius.

Don & The Dreamers - It’s Never To Late To Be A Rock Star


A couple of cracking albums arrived this week. Now into the second disc of Joni Mitchell at Newport.

My Vinyl copy of Joni at Newport was perfect and is a wonderful album.
I don’t know the second guy at all I’m afraid, what kind of music is it?

It is. Todd Rundgren was the producer on that one, IIRC. My favorite tune from that LP is Turn Me On. TV is King is also a good one.

Keyboard/synth player Mike Cotten actually designed and patented the “Visi-Sitter.”


Al di Meola | Flesh on Flesh | 2002
The man is sounding even better than I remember on this SACD rip.

Bruce Cockburn is singer songwriter and a great guitarist, also from Canada as it happens. Folk some rock and jazz elements. I’ve only recently discovered Bruce… he’s got a considerable back catalogue to go at if you find you like this his latest album. A favourite of mine is “Dancing in the dragon’s jaws” which I managed to get a nice second hand copy of. I think Bruce is playing Oxford and Shepherds Bush this week. Unfortunately he doesn’t seem to be playing any further north or I might have been tempted.

Thank you @Bokermonz, I’ll give him a try tomorrow.

The Tubes - What Do You Want From Live?

In terms of shows and live performances recorded to disc this is up there.

The theatrics of the concert are all here - what a show, what a band - at the top of their game.
