Gnomicide Posted September 20 Report Share Posted September 20 I've been banging on about this elsewhere but I've listened through three times today and I'm loving it. I've been looking forward to this one for a while. Bit of a story behind it, Jesse Malin is one of my favourite singer/songwriters, I've seen him countless times and own everything he has put out both solo and in various bands and collaborations. On top of that, he really does seem to be a great bloke, always raising cash for struggling musicians, involved with the Joe Strummer foundation (Strummerville) etc. Anyway... a bit ago he was on a night out in a restaurant, suddenly had a stabbing pain in his lower spine and collapsed to the floor. He'd had a spinal stroke and was paralysed from the waste down. Being American, he can't afford the treatment without fundraisers and this album is part of that. It's a tribute album with many artists covering his songs. The list of contributors is huge and like delving into my record collection. The Hold Steady, Springsteen, Frank Turner, Butch Walker, Counting Crows... on it goes. I think it shows the high esteem in which he is held amongst his fellow musicians. That's the end of my history lesson. TLDR: This is great, give it a listen. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Talcroft Posted September 20 Report Share Posted September 20 On my third listen of In Waves - Jamie XX and I'd go 7 out of 10 overall I think. It's no In Colour and I would like more of the idontknow, kill dem and it's so good style of tracks in place of that f**king Robyn one, however Treat Each Other Right, Still Summer, Breather, All You Children and Falling Together are stand outs. Looking forward to a nice little bop to those in Manchester tomorrow. Hoping for a nice crowd than that at Glastonbury but have friends for protection in case they're not!

Acid_Haze Posted Wednesday at 07:49 AM Report Share Posted Wednesday at 07:49 AM The new Nala Sinephro album is brilliant. Really well produced jazz music, with extra synths that provide a bit of cosmic energy. Love the way the jazz is melded together with the electronica as if it was meant to be together. It's blissful music, really hope that they get her a slot on West Holts next year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EssexIndie Posted 1 hour ago Report Share Posted 1 hour ago Gave it a listen first thing this morning - one of those bands that should be much more well known than they are. Great live band. 51 minutes ago, Crazyfool01 said: Anyone listened to the new October Drift Album blame the young ? Album number 3 ....
