Most fans of Sylvan Esso immediately fall in love with Amelia Meath, plenty to love about their new album…
How intimate do you want it.

Today (Friday 2nd) on Bandcamp they are waving their normal fees to support bands and artists.
I’ve just bought the digital download of this Calexico’s live recording from 2002, not available until today as a digital download. If you’re a fan of their live performances this is classic Calexico on their home pitch, Tucson.
Also this live recording from Brussels in 2008.

Love tunes like this. @Goatboy shared it back in 2016 and I didn’t get onto it then.
I would describe it as unexpectedly magnificent.

I mean, he’s live mashing up Purple Rain and Auld Lang Syne.
For fuck’s throbbing purple sake.
My favourite off that album.
And then fucking Miles Davis comes on!
Jesus Purple Rain!
And why not.
The Working Men’s Club album.

Calexico have just re-released a remastered version of their album “Hot Rail” on the 20th anniversary of it’s original release.
This is a song that has always summed up their multi-cultural ethos which is even more relevant today than 20 years ago.

Serpentine Prison LP. Rather good.
Bought “Big Time” the Tom Waits live music movie on VHS but they’ve never released it on DVD. I bought the CD soundtrack the other day.
This one starts with a good joke…
An interesting article in The Guardian. A Cameron Crowe interview with Joni Mitchell on the release of the box set “Joni Mitchell Archives Vol 1: The Early Years (1963-1967)”, out tomorrow 30th October.

Joni has been a musical “ever present” since my late teens. It’s not many people you can say that about and her music and my taste in music seemed to keep pace during our lives. Her music ever changing, the need to evolve along with my need to constantly hear new music.
A lot of people get stuck in a time warp where they decide the is no new decent music to listen to so they harp back to their youth and announce, “there’s no decent music made after 1973”
I grew out of mainstream pop after I left school and my constant need for new music means I often have to attend gig by myself…my peers haven’t heard of most of the band I like.
That’s not to say I don’t revisit old stuff, of course I do. My Joni box set arrives tomorrow…29 songs never released before amongst them…can’t wait to hear the “new” music.
Joni’s first composition from 1964…
