Chrissie Hynde w\ The Valve Bone Woe Ensemble  - Valve Bone Woe.  It’s perfect lazy Sunday afternoon listening.

Miles Davis - Rubberband
A unreleased album from 1985 which is very much of that time with a couple tracks that sound as if someone had snuck into Paisley Park for some late night sessions.

I listened to the Chrissie Hynde…not bad but i just don't think her vocal chops are good enough to really make a standout jazz album.

Gruff Rhys - Pang!

Really nice new album from Gruff has a really great Global sound and was produced by a South African producer Muzi.  It's a cross between the chamber pop along the lines of Nick Drake and David Bryne's solo work.  And it's in Welsh..

In the absence of a Sweetcell thread, this seems the best place to post this cool WARP Records Radio Sessions boxset featuring Aphex Twin, Boards of Canada, et al

I KNOW MY AUDIENCE

some unheard sessions of Dylan and Cash

the two recorded an entire session together in 1969, and we’ll soon get to hear it.

Rolling Stone reports that the next edition of Dylan’s archival Bootleg Series will devote a disc and a half to the Cash/Dylan session. The two apparently recorded this thing one day with the rockabilly legend Carl Perkins, and it features the two of them playing each other’s songs and also doing standards like “Mystery Train,” “You Are My Sunshine,” and a handful of tracks from country originator Jimmie Rodgers.

Cash-Dylan sessions I have heard are pretty meh though worthy of release

More interested in the alternative takes from John Wesley Harding…a true masterpiece

New Nick Cave!

Some fan was pressing him to discuss this new release (as they knew it was happening) and he was tight lipped saying no new album being made (that's because it was already made!)

Well this is exciting

Automatic instant buy

New Stipe single on Saturday.  $0.77, or free download.

Why would a musician be tight lipped about an album coming out? Is the goal to sell as many copies as possible?

Lucy Dacus - "2019" EP

Available November 8th

New (repackaged) Hold Steady singles collection for RSD Black Friday.

Also, spent a lot of time listening to the Ramones Live Boxset. Glad I got to see them, sad it was only once.

You don't want to tell the music company that it's your worst production to date until AFTER they promise you all kinds of perks.

The long-awaited debut of Jack Gray (aka Tenacious D's Jack Black and Jack White) arrives in November.

Yeah, I'm not digging it.  It sounds like the last two, but is somehow so much more boring musically, lyrically and basically in every way.  And it's a double album too.  Ugh.  I haven't been able to get through it all yet.  I get the trauma, but don't like the album.

But, but…it has a perfect score of 100 on Metacritic. Is Nick Cave one of those artists who critics swoon over no matter what they put out?
