Scott Walker - Bish Bosch

Not impressed with it at all after first listen & will not be making it onto my best of the year list. Should also have been called Bish Bash Bosch.

Good job I wasn't eating anything when i read your post, Scott. otherwise it would've been plastered to the computer screen after spitting it out in shock.

I've only listened to it once & it is definitely my album of the year. Sdss1416+13b (Zercon, A Flagpole Sitter) is absolute genius. Lasts over 20 minutes, but I wish it had gone on for a longer.

Hopefully repeat listening will help you change your mind.

I hope so too. Had a few listens now & it's getting a bit stronger on me now but won't make it into my top 5 of the year which I hope to post tomorrow.

Listening to the Ultravox Live 2012 double CD.

At present, I'm alternating between:

David Bowie – "Where Are We Now?"

Peter Gabriel - "So" (25th anniversary remaster) & "So DNA"

Simple Minds – 5x5 Live

And my own new compositions!

All stuff I was given for Xmas or picked up in HMV in London last saturday
THE HOLY BIBLE MANICS
THE BOATMANS CALL NICK CAVE
MARQUEE MOON TELEVISION
THRILLS PILLS AND BELLYACHES T'MONDAYS
LED ZEP 4
OXYGENE J M JARRE
PRINCE HITS VOLUME 1
THE NIGHT FLY DONALD FAGEN
HEADLIGHTS WHITE LINES BLACK TAR RIVERS THE LEVELLERS
INFECTED THE THE
REMAIN IN LIGHTS TALKING HEADS

I say, some great stuff there Ivan.

BOATMANS CALL is possibly Nick cave's best album. Ditto Manics (although its their ONLY album I like...). Marquee Moon I need to play again as I haven't heard it for ages. Prince is better than most people think, and talking heads album is a cracker.

Enjoy your gifts!

Cheers mate Just need some CARTER USM to put the cherry/icing on the cake !

Currently listening to Flash And The Pan lps that I bought really cheap from a fleamarket. This band was missed in Finland when it was active in the turn of the eighties - foreign pop to Finland that time came from Europe and North America. Good synthpop.

Last months I've also been listening to a 1966 mix cd (http://www.metamatic.com/forum/ubbthreads.php/topics/45209/Re_What_Music_Are_You_Listenin#Post45209). One of those pops is Friday on my mind (by The Easybeats). Just last week I noticed that Harry Vanda & George Young of the Easybeats were ten years later Flash And The Pan.

Listening to Eric Idle's "Always Look On The Bright Side Of Life" as I have £50 in HMV vouchers from Christmas!
