Saturday listening: Squeeze by the Velvet Underground.
Better than people would have you think. It's not awful by any means, just not fit to be called a Velvet Underground album. What do you think?

Saturday morning listening: Liminal by Beatie Wolfe & Brian Eno
Third album this year from this collaboration. Unlike the last two albums, where one was songs and the other instrumentals, this one has a perfectly balanced blend of the two

The Beta Band's debut album proper - A shambles, but much better than the band would have you believe.

Sunday lunchtime listening: Body and Soul by Joe Jackson.
Not necessarily his best album, but certainly one of his best sounding and best looking albums.

Sunday morning listening: Ship Arriving Too Late To Save A Drowning Witch
Even if you like/dislike a Frank Zappa album, it can be difficult to decide whether it is objectively any good.
This one for example. I like it and it was one of his better selling albums, but is it any good?

Just finished reading this book - subtitled "Vince" - about the early years of Depeche Mode up to the release of their debut album. Just given the album a relisten and it still sounds fantastic. The production is spot on.

Nevermind The Beatles pretending to be another band for Sgt Pepper, in 1968 The Turtles released "The Turtles Present the Battle of the Bands", where each of the 12 songs was performed by a different band. A photo the bands graces the gatefold sleeve - some of these would NOT be allowed nowadays.

Sunday Morning Listening: Grown Backwards by David Byrne
At rock, classical, opera, tropicália, chamber pop, Americana and more. It still sounds like a David Byrne album.
Describing this album is almost as difficult as trying to photograph the reflective sleeve.

Thursday afternoon listening: All The Young Droids.
Things I didn't realise I needed in my life: A compilation of lost and obscure electropop from the late 70s and early 80s, of which there is only one track that I know. Fantastic stuff.

Live Aid was 40 years ago. It may have its critics, but what a day. I watched it all and recorded the whole thing onto 5 Betamax tapes.

We listened to There's A Riot Going on at Album Club today but, to be honest, the kids didn't really get it. We maybe should've played Life or Stand instead.
Anyway, I needed to give it a proper listen when I got home without the sound of chatty teenagers

Saturday morning listening: Instant Holograms on Metal Film by Stereolab
First album since 2010. If their last couple of albums were good but showing signs of The Groop in a creative cul-de-sac, then this sounds like a band rejuvenated and remembering what made them so grear in the first place.
