...on your stereo, maybe...
Bert jansch?
Not round my gaff squire!
Actually, I heard The Black Swan for the first time this morning, and I have to say that - on first listen - it's... deeply ordinary. Not rubbish, not brilliant, boring, plodding, dour... just... ordinary. I have to say that I expected better things.
Now, unlike Lex, I can't be bothered with all this putting-up-of-pictures nonsene (especially pics that are subject to copywrite control... :-) ) so I'll just have to write what's being doing on my stereo in recent days...
(1) Bonnie Billy - The Letting Go... fair enough, I'll give you that one squire
(2) Sparklehorse - the new one, with moutains in the title... It's bloody great, exp. the 10 minute last track which is pure delicate art-noise bliss
(3) Shearwater - their new one... again, I can't remember the title... but it's good and odd... weird voice, total disregard for conventional song structure. At times it's a bit like a Lloyd-Webber musical being played by Wilco - but mostly it;s good
Can't think of 'owt else now. I'm only posting during half time in the Chesunt v Bath City game...

As you can see folks, Cart's has rediscovered his technophobe hat. We had to skip practice last week as he went up on Salisbury Hill to commune with druids rather than post on the blog. However I am reliably informed that he crafted a very interesting new chant that allows him and his bearded brethren to let you all know that you should be ordering as many copies of the new Balustrade album as your little hearts desire (or else he'll have to start burning some Chippenhamites in a giant whicker effigy of Will Oldham).
