Listened to this whilst cleaning the loo this afternoon.  "Real World" and "3 AM" remind me of when I was in the eighth grade (or year nine).  The time from there until the beginning of my junior year of high school (year 12) were a blur, and a great time for me. 

 

 

Forgot all about that album!

 

Here's that I'm listening to...

 

 

In preparation for seeing him at the end of the month at the Scala in King's Cross I've been listening to Chuck Ragan.

 

Really loved all his solo albums since (kind of) leaving Hot Water Music. 

Kings Of Leon - Sex on Fire:

One of the most fun songs to play on Guitar Hero.

A bit of Alpha Blondy to start off the morning:

 

 

 

 

Looking forward to the new album arriving in the post next week!

Holy sh*t I had no idea they were releasing another album! Is it new material or just live stuff / off-cuts from the first album?

Quoted from the Guardian;

http://www.theguardian.com/music/2015/mar/19/buena-vista-social-club-lost-and-found-review

 

"The Buena Vista Social Club were an international phenomenon, and yet the full band released only two albums: the bestselling 1997 studio set and a recording of their one US show in 1998, released 10 years later. Now, as the two surviving Buena Vista stars Omara Portuondo and Eliades Ochoa prepare for their final UK tour, comes an album of “previously unreleased tracks”, and it includes two classics, both recorded during the original Havana sessions. It seems remarkable that Portuondo’s cool and charming version of Lágrimas Negras or Compay Segundo’s treatment of his own Macusa never appeared on the 1997 album. Other tracks are taken from BVSC solo projects, and include an impressive live piano solo from the remarkable Rubén González, rousing live songs from Ibrahim Ferrer, and guitar pieces from Ochoa, recorded late at night during sessions for Ferrer’s first solo album. A ragbag, maybe, but an exquisite ragbag."

Ah it does sound quite a lot like cut-offs then. Oh well, I certainly can't imagine anything by them being bad!

Listened to some Psychedelic Furs whilst I was cleaning the loo.
