When i arrived in Rainham the slight precipitation abated and the rest of the afternoon was dry with the sun coming out from the clouds.

I also picked up some more free records from that record shop. These are -

Break Machine - Street Dance 12"



Dee C. Lee - The Paris Match 12"



Includes See The Day. The original studio version of this song, sung by Paul Weller, was first available on the a' Paris EP by The Style Council. This version is actually the backing track of that version but with Dee doing the lead vocal. It was available on the 7" & 12" of her top 3 single "See The Day". Tracey Thorn of Everything But The Girl also did the lead vocal of this song on the Style Council's first LP "Cafe Bleu" which had newly recorded music. FYI my cousin, Tim, thinks Paul Weller is god, lol.

Greenskeepers - Man In The House 12"



Dinah Washington - Take Your Shoes Off Baby



Taken from this UK LP -





Enjoy.!

What a lovely sunny day it turned out to be and just so right for a trip down to picturesque  Tenderden and Headcorn to do four covert shops - all chazzers as the guys at www,verygoodplus.co.uk would say.

Picked up a mixed bag of CD's and books, plus a DVD recommended by ex-landlord of the Dover Castle Inn (Phil) which is "Futurama,-  Bender's Game" from one of the shops in Tenderden.

The books are paperbacks, except for one on runes -

Julian Barmes - A History Of The World in 10 1/2 Chapters (Picador)
Spike Milligan - The Essential Spike Milligan (Fourth Estate)
Simon Van Booy - Love Begins In Winter (Beautiful Books)
Sue Bruley - Women In Britain Since 1900, Social History In Perspective (Palgrove)
Ralph Blum - The Book Of Runes (Michael Joseph Ltd)





The CD's are -

Edvard Grieg - Piano Concerto in A Minor, Concert Overture,Symphonic Dances ,
            Havard Gimse (piano), Royal Scottish National Orch. / Bjarte Engeset (Naxos)

The Ipamenas - Afro Bossa (Far Out Recordings) - best described as Latin electronica with a bossa feel




Animal Collective - Spirit They've Gone Spirit They've Vanished / Danse Manatee (Fat Cat)
Ladyhawke - s/t (Modular Recordings)
The Flaming Lips - At war With The Mystics (Warner Bros.)
Liars - They Threw Us All In A Trench And Stuck A Monument On Top (Blast First)
Radiohead - Hail To The Thief (EMI)

Great getting the Liars album and the first Animal Collective double album. Both got excellent reviews from the Wire magazine when they came out.. I also love the music of Grieg which i am listening to as i write.

Talking of the Wire magazine, which is still the best music mag around for its erudition and breadth of genres it covers, i bought the latest yesterday as it has a primer on the music of Steve Lacy. Mr. Lacy has been a jazz saxophonist of great artistry and intelligence moving between cool jazz to bebop to avant garde improv wig-outs.
