Stuff I've been listening to recently and really enjoying which is potentially as shaming as that Sinead O'Conner LP or even liking THAT Booth and the Bad Angel thing or Cake or whoever....

ahem......

Joan Baez / Gracias a la Vida

Richard Thompson/ Rumour and Sigh

Tinariwen/ Aman Iman

Tony Allen/ N.E.P.A

Scritti Politti/ Anomie and Bonhomie

King Sunny Ade/ JuJu music

Dijvan Gasparyan/ Black Rock

Adrian Belew/ Two and Three (that's TWO records)

Violetta Parra/ Cantos Campesinos


And with soul unburdened I go out into the day to see what awaits me!!!!
