Things Wot I Have Digitised
As someone with a reasonable CD collection, I’ve been awfully bad at getting around to ripping all of them to digital. This month I shall remedy that.
I never was one for storing them in any particular order, so grabbing handfuls from the shelves has proved interesting. Here’s the first batch.
Mary Margaret O’Hara – “Miss America”
Various – “Essential Skint”, Skint Records sampler
Black Jazz Chronicles – “Modern Juju”
Buffalo Tom – “Asides from Buffalo Tom”
Cannonball Adderley – “Original Jazz Classics Collection”
Pixies – “Surfer Rosa” & “Come On Pilgrim”
Big Star – “Big Star’s Biggest”
Various – “Blue Bebop”, Blue Note sampler
Aim – “Cold Water Music”
Various – “Electric Blue”
Chris Mills -“Kiss It Goodbye”
D*Note – “Waiting Hopefully”
Sleater-Kinney – “Call The Doctor”
The Mighty Imperials – “Thunder Chicken”
The Velvet Underground – “Another View”
American Music Club – “Mercury”
Various – “Source Lab, Vol I”
Kate Bush – “Kick Inside”
Lady Soul
Jaw-dropping. Breathtaking. Many other superlatives.

Deep congratulations, Ms Harvey. Few artists could boast to have such a flawless career, even more difficult nowadays. And it’s been from the very begining, and it appears it will be a lasting thing. On my behalf, thank you very much, honestly, thanks.
The song and film aren’t half bad either. It’s one of a series of short films made by award-winning documentary photographer Seamus Murphy to accompany all the tracks on PJ Harvey’s latest album, Let England Shake.
Read more about the project in an interview with Murphy.
It Was Twenty Years Ago Today
Here are twenty songs from albums that were released twenty years ago. And now I feel old.
I tried to mix things up a bit but that didn’t really work too well. Hopefully there’s at least some semblance of a flow to it. That is after the admittedly rather slow start.
Totally Random
I highly recommend reading the background to this.

I just discovered Mixcloud, there seem to be some nice mixes up there. More as I find them.
