a new week for old sounds ..

so. saturday parenting responsibilties - i drop off my eldest to a football party on saurday and then go park the car in the towns main car park to go do the DIY thing. there is a stall. i venture past noticing the obvious inclusion of cds on the table. i cant resist checking. tis quickly obvious that this is mum's clearout of her student offspring. lots of 4ad discs, depeche mode, till tuesday and even robyn hitchcock (not including brenda iron sledge unfortunately), anyway, i ask how much - expecting the usual couple of quid etc . '20p love'. sod it. those depeche mode albums are now at last mine. so today has ben a day of doom and gloom. violater and black celebration. fantastic stuff. also picked up belly and throwing muses. but they've yet to impress. i just want to be a goth hrowback. and .. i purg the archive of my KLF/JAMMS collection to make sure its all together .. as initial searchings revealed that my orig cassette version of 1987 was missing, the subsequent 48 hours were rather stressful. so today i put aside the necessary time and dived in. tis all sorted, the tape is in perfect condition. and the reason for this excavation ? the surfacing of the KLF's final sonic statement. 'Waiting for Rights of Mu' became available via various sources last week - having now heard this article i can reveal its a fun listen. tis an ambient piece which uses elements which have been used elsewhere, the vocals samples and the various KLF bits-n-bobs set to a naration a la Apocolyse Now .. whether its a genuine article is not that obvious, as the KLF site denies its existence .. evenso. its ace. and .. Stateside/EMI - a new comp collecting the best of Lou Rawls/David Axelrod. for the track 'Dead End Street' alone i cannot recommend this album high enough. do i have to listen to new stuff today? mark e ireallyloveoldmusictoday
