Discovering old albums

[grumpyoldgit]

Now that we have a bit more time to do this sort of thing, I've been listening to a few oldies, both vinyl and CD. I honestly can't remember buying some of them - I wonder if they were borrowed and someone's still waiting to get them back? Conversely, I've gone to find one and it's not there - did I lend it to someone or sell it? Anyway, I'm playing I'm currently playing My Life In The Bush Of Ghosts by Brian Eno & David Byrne from 1981. It's unexpectedly marvellous.

Aye Paddy's still around doing stuff. I've seen him a couple of times in Newcastle, looking like God.

I'm finding diamonds in the Low albums I'd bought as a longstanding fan in recent years and dismissed as being below par but now reassessing as being rather good. All thanks to goalscrounger for triggering me in the first place into looking through my collection for songs to fit the daily theme

Funny enough been listening to a lot of Beatles albums while lockdown

Love Eno, love David Byrne, love Talking Heads but do not get this album at all. I know it is rated massively and I am happy that you and others enjoy it.

Roddy Frame's Surf is one of the great underrated albums of its time.

My turntable is currently packed away awaiting the renovation of my study, and so I've got a stack of vinyl building up as I'm still spending a fortune on DIscogs whilst we're in lockdown.

Really looking forward to listening to the new BC Camplight album which arrived on Friday.

Prompted by the Nightingales post to listen to it again The Bumbites' Bottoms Up! from 1984 is the greatest British album ever made IMHO, you'll be v lucky to find it but well rewarded if you do. This is the only track I've ever found online

I’ve just ordered this after your recommendation. I’ve got all of Aztec Camera’s stuff on vinyl but I didn’t know of this album at all.

It's great and you'll no doubt recognise the track Small World if you've ever seen the comedy show Early Doors ?

It's a brilliant collection of songs for the lovelorn and heartbroken! I've always thought the title track or I Can't Start Now would have been worthy of Sinatra in his Wee Small Hours days.

My Life in the Bush of Ghosts is great. I see it as a companion piece to one of my favourite albums of all time. Remain in Light by the Talking Heads.

I've got Marquee Moon. Not listened to it for ages.

Roddy Frame is a talented man: great sonwriter, excellent guitarist, always good to see live and funny with it.

Yes, have seen him live, he's great value. I'd love another album from him too but there's been nothing since Seven Dials.
