Moved house recently and had a lot of painting to do - which offerd me the opportunity to listen to a rake of old albums. Among which I recently listened to:

The La's - The La's - still a great album. Liberty Ship, There She Goes and Looking Glass are timeless.

Supergrass - Life on Other Planets - Not for everyone, but I think its quite an underrated album. Really enjoyed re-vistiting this record. Grace is a great tune.

Neil Young - After the Goldrush An undoubted classic but I genuinely hadn't listened to it for about 5 years.

The Pixies - Bossanova -

Well done Wolfie. Three out of four ain't bad.
Pauro - Gish is a classic. Fair play.

Normally the best ones are already out, but did just dust this off yesterday, and it's as good as ever: Clinton - Disco And The Halfway To Discontent.

Just confirmed a Limerick date for October 14th. I assume they'll be doing Dublin and a couple of more too. Not to be missed live!!!

EDIT: ...and I'm wrong ...there's no Dublin gig. Not scheduled yet at any rate unless they slip something in on Thursday 11th or their return trip for Sligo Live.

Listened to Chemical Brothers-Surrender the other day, and its still absolute top drawer. Forgot how good it was. I'll add to that Garbage's debut album. Also randomly heard Air-Moon Safari and that was pretty good in its day too, great to hear records you'd forgotten about.

**Wolfie** · 20/08/2007, 1:01 PM

Recent listens to:

Happy Mondays - Squirrel and G-Man
The Charlatans - Melting Pot
Doves - The Last Broadcast
The Strokes - Is this it?

Think they only played the other week - have to be on call 24/7 at the mo, so haven't really been looking.

I've seen them live a few times at this stage, well worth seeing. Although you can really see the effect of their, eh social lifes, have had on them from the first time I saw them.

Kinda stretching the albums with a Best Of, even if it isn't a typical greatest hits type...

Yeah - wasn't sure if that would qualify alright.

Thought Melting Pot might gain a special dispensation given there's remixed versions etc etc.

Gearing up for the Manics next week:

Recent listens to:

The Holy Bible - The Manic Street Preachers

Yep, Paul. Both classics me thinks.

I bought Garbage's debut album on cassette whilst in Bulgaria and it's quality.
I agree with Lionel Ritchie on this though, I love the Half Man Half Biscuit stuff which I ordered in it's entirety on CD last year. ''99% of Gargoyles Look Like Bob Todd'' being a particular favourite on the ACD album.
