Even though I have mixed feelings about YHF could not resist the deluxe 7 LP box for $48.

Stones Exile —-) live at Hyde Park


Feeling it’s time to see Stones again in 2024

Any thoughts on the new one?

slightly higher, but still low bar

feel like Dirty Work (Lillywhite?!) was the last album with any redeeming singles
I feel like their work from 80-86 is not horrible and love when I hear some of that era's stuff

even Still Life is great

Got this box set for $78.25 all in.

Knopfler’s first five solo albums (all 2LPs) plus an LP’s worth of extras.

My issue with Knopfler is his music got increasingly narcoleptic over the years but everything here is tastefully done and well executed and Mark is probably my favorite guitarist after Gilmour and maybe Grant Green.

But at this price one can’t say no.

Finding more and more deals on these box sets. They try to sell them at $200 and when they see it’s not going to sell out they blow them out.

My favorite Knopfler solo album - Sailing to Philadelphia- is only available on vinyl on this set but I expect that will change….it seems like everything is going to be on vinyl.

As always these brief passing thoughts are dedicated to the number one fan of what I am listening to, Julian.

English test pressing or white label promo of Piazzolla’s Libertango from 1975. Includes a pr blurb. Rated #1395 greatest album on RYM.

The title track is one of his more famous songs. Grace Jones covered it to some success.

Listening to the just released lost Kirsty MacColl album “Real”.  Part of me understands why it got shelved as it’s a departure from her early music. It’s very synth heavy with a sound not unlike what Japan was doing at the time, very Mick Karn influenced bass lines on many tracks.  Hearing some Talking Heads influences as well.  One track sounds like it could have come off the B-52s Mesopotamia album

All in all an interesting addition to her already wonderful catalog

also here is a youtube playlist of some of what's been formally released today, as some of the tracks were already on the released on a couple compilations

Holy Canadian Supergroup

 Trans-Canada Highwaymen (TCH) with features Moe Berg (The Pursuit of Happiness), Craig Northey (Odds) and Steven Page (ex BNL) and Chris Murphy (Sloan)

Been kicking around since 2017 "sporadically as a four-piece band backing each other up on the hits that each of us wrote to help put our bands on the map in the late 80’s to the early 2000’s" 

New album of covers just released 'a K-Tel style compilation of Canadian classics from 1969-1975 that we call Trans-Canada Highwaymen Explosive Hits Vol. 1.'
