the characteristically elegant Personne d’autre , Françoise Hardy finds herself among the last surviving icons of a certain kind of French pop. Her tone of absent-minded infatuation is tangled up in Parisian iconography; her voice tells us about France in the way Marilyn Monroe’s walk tells us about America. Hardy, too, makes her talent seem effortless, though her longevity hasn’t come by chance.
I read the news today, RIP Françoise.
David Grey - White Ladder - CD (1998)
Happy Birthday 
David Grey - 13/06/68
David Gray, UK singer, songwriter. His ‘White Ladder’ was the second biggest selling UK album of 2001. He scored the 2000 UK No.5 single ‘Babylon.’
I like the price, you’ve had that bit of vinyl a year or two.
First listen and I’m half way thought. Not bad. Some elements and remind me of the Agony Scene. One first impressions is that it’s a little to ‘happy’ sounding. IE, major keys and catchy riffs rather than more interesting and abrasive riffs and key changes that I like to hear when listening to death metal.
Bob Dylan - Desire
I went to the record rack intending to select something jazzy, but pulled this instead. Bob’s second best album IMO.
The Rolling Stones - Let It Bleed - SACD.
Gimme Shelter?
There is no “Why” … … … There just “Is”.
My all-time favourite Stones’ choon. 
What a superb album, Andy. You’re costing me a fortune, y’know. 
Tokyo based band and Afrobayashi pioneers Ajate are back with their third album: experience the explosive encounter of Afro groove and Japanese traditional Ohayashi music!
Bonkers and magnificent.
I too was a little surprised as I was expecting something more poe faced and “brutal” but a like a bit of melody in my death metal, i.e. Amon Amarth. Thanks for checking it out.
