Jazzy D's Soul Notes

Time for some music -

Pigbag - Papa's Got A Brand New Pigbag



A Certain Ratio - Shack Up



ABC - When Smokey Sings




The Associates - Party Fears Two



The Passions - I'm In Love With A German Film Star



Enjoy.

More blasts from my past - shows the gravitation from pop to weirder territories.

T.Rex - Ride A White Swan



Hot Butter - Popcorn



( More tunes )

Then in 1990 I discovered the Wire magazine that reunited me with jazz, new classical music and much more way beyond that. so mainstream music was very much left behind even when I was a DJ with other cool cats such as DJ Abo and Ally Smith.

Enjoy

Feel a musical moment coming on so here are four tracks i have dug out of the archives. Dusted down the vinyl so here we go -

The B52's - Love Shack

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.
