Bought the latest Tracey Thorn called "Love and it's Opposite". I's a grower. Subtle and pensive. Was listening to her about 25 years ago when she was in The MArine Girls.


Completely from left field, got a compilation called "Songs for Dad" from my two little ones on Father's Day. Thought it was a touching gesture that would quickly be gathering dust - but this starts with "Come FLy with Me2 by Sinatra, ends with Johnnie Ray's "Just Walking in the Rain" and in between sweeps through a load of gems from the 50s, including "Good Rocking Daddy" by Etta James. Cool.

Micah P Hinson's new one. A change of direction, much richer arrangements and a bit cheerier if I'm not mistaken.

Very good.


Also got She & Him - Volume 2, Zooey Deschanel's musical project, this time with M Ward. Sort of Gainsbourg & Birkin after hanging around with Johnny Cash for too long.


Have read a couple of good reviews of the Tracy Thorn album, might give it a quick spotify and see if I like it.

Jeff Beck's new album Emotion And Commotion and quite a bit of old reggae at the moment. Always the same with me when the sun comes out. So it's been Lee "Scratch" Perry's Arkology boxset, a singles compilation from Doctor Alimantado, King Tubby's Meet The Rockers Uptown and Eek-A-Mouse's first album Wa-Do-Dem.

    • Or increase tax.  The freezing of personal allowances is one way, not what I would choose.  On principle I don't care if the rich immigrate.  The main parties could have been more honest before the election.  Reform is deluded.
    • I edited my post because I couldn't be sure we were talking about politicians and I couldn't be bothered to read it all back. But it was off the back of a thread discussing labour councillors, so it went without saying really and I should have left it.  What I said was 'There's something very aggressive about language like that - it's not big and it's not clever. Some of the angry energy that comes from the far left is pretty self-defeating.' (In relation to a labour councillor rather immaturely, in my view, wearing a jumper that read 'fuck the Tories').  But I don't recall saying that "violent rhetoric" is exclusively the domain of the left wing. So I do think you're taking a bit of a bit of leap here. 
    • You literally just edited your earlier reply to remove the point you made about it being “politicians”.  Then you call me pathetic.    I’m  not trying to say you approve any of the ugly right wing nonsense.  But I AM Saying your earlier post suggesting  violent rhetoric being “left wing” was one-sided and incorrect 
    • I never said that. Saying I don’t like some of the rhetoric coming from the left doesn’t mean I approve of Farage et al saying that Afghans being brought here to protect their lives and thank them for their service means there is an incalculable threat to women.    Anything to score a cheap point. It’s pretty pathetic.
