What Album Have You Just Bought?

Just Got The Who's new album 'Endless Wire'. I was suprised to say the least, about five really good tracks and quite alot of filler, but the good songs rate among thier best.

My thoughts as well. The only REALLY cool song on there is Mike Post Theme

I am floored that the Who released new material. And that it was good. Don't get me wrong, I was that teen who skipped school and hitched to the nearest Ticketbastards outlet in 1983 (I think), wearing my Who stenciled green army jacket, and camped out for tickets for me and my friends, for their FAREWELL Tour...... I was a HUGE fan. And I still love those old songs. But the stuff from 1982-83 was not good in retrospect. (Clash, BTW

)

So, it seems that an old band that gets together again for a fling can actually lay down quality music on their own terms and their fans will like it, even though their prior work was monumental. Hmmmm

Its wonderful. The soundtrack (like the film) is a bit choppy - here then there then off to somewhere totally different, yet there is a...really hard to describe thread running through the whole thing. Incredibly original stuff.
I recommend the film. The music pieces are fitted very effectively in it.

OK. I'm stupid. I did see this film in the theater last year. Hello!?! I forgot the name of it. It is a good film, it's like you feel the flies sticking to your face. I wondered how they were able to film with all the flies - maybe they put honey on themselves. It reminded me of that Sartre play Les Mouches where they can't escape the flies and they are everywhere, reminding everyone of the dead.

And the colors were good too, so yellow, and hot and dry. They were very well dirtied. It was a very REAL film... though a bit too violent for me... hard that way. But that's our Nick Cave.

The movie is wonderful indeed. Love it. The soundrack is good too - but I was a bit disappointed they didn't include "Peggy Gordon" there. Whenever I hear the song on some Irish Ballads album now, I can't help seeing scenes from The Proposition in my mind's eye.

Recent purchases include:

Isobel Campbell and Mark Lanegan: Ballad Of The Broken Seas
John Spiers and Jon Boden: Bellow
John Cale: The Island Years
The Men They Couldn't Hang: Night Of A Thousand Candles
The Radiators: Ghostown

Buying CD copies of your old vinyl somehow seems a tad disloyal to me. But sometimes it has to be done.

Oh, good purchases! I really liked Ballad of the Broken Seas. I'll keep schtum of JS and JB and JC! Night of a Thousand Candles is an old favourite, and Ghostown is my all-time top album.

My copy of The Good, the Bad and the Queen has just arrived.

I decided it was time to get hold of John and Jon, as it were, just to see... :lol:

As for John Cale, well I loved the Velvets, naturally, but if I'm honest a lot of his later stuff is a bit weird even for me. But off to see him on Sunday, and I thought I really should have a listen first. :wink:

I haven't got The Good, The Bad... yet - what do you think of it?
