The Hold Steady | boys and girls in America | Uniti Core. Possibly their peak? They certainly missed Nicolay when he left. Finn writes great lyrics. Great live band - their A Positive Rage album captures them live, brilliantly.

Mussorgsky - Pictures from an Exhibition, A Night on the Bare Mountain
Brodin - Prince Igor, Overture and Polovtsian Dances
Royal Liverpool Orchestra
Charles Mackerras conducting
Erato 1991

Why do the Liverpools do such great work with Russian and Soviet music? See also Patrenko leading them in that excellent Shostakovich cycle on Naxos. Anyone have any ideas?

All of her stuff used to be available on Bandcamp but alas it seems to have gone from there.

The Zombies. Odessey and oracle.

After watching the documentary decided to dig out this 60s classic. Playing disc one of the 2008 reissue which is the mono version plus bonus tracks. Cd rip

Allah-Las - Sirenas (2026). Spacey psych with more than a nod to surf. Couldn’t be anything other than Californian.

Ohh nooo, that’s really sad to hear, think I’ve all her fabulous albums on vinyl (those released on vinyl) and they’re all great to me (lovely gatefolds).

Never got to see her live unfortunately.

Thanks for the post Andy
