Day 19

First up today is a new one, brought back from Exmouth yesterday.

CD#77 Husky Rescue - Ghost Is Not Real

Wiki says they're a Finnish ambient pop band. They're not bad, nothing earth-shattering but nice enough to chill out with.

CD#78 Iggy Pop - The Idiot

There are lots of people out there that love this album, I prefer Lust For Life.

CD#79 Pink Floyd - Endless River

Another new one, bought as part of a 3 for £10 deal, which is probably about right - it's not rubbish and good for a relaxing Sunday morning, but lacks a little something compared to the better bits of Pink Floyd.

CD#80 Blondie - Plastic Letters

I like this period Blondie as much as I like the later, more slick version, Clem Burke's drumming is magnificently mad in places and the lyrics are definitely more random.

CD#81 Sam Phillips - Fan Dance

Not easy to characterize, Sam writes and performs some wonderfully quirky songs, I first discovered her around the time of the album Don't Do Anything, this is a couple of albums earlier but very much cut from the same cloth.

CD#82 Crowded House - Crowded House

I've got their second album on vinyl and this one on CD, and that's all, which is a surprise because I like a lot of their work (though I like Split Enz a lot more, especially the crazier stuff).

CD#83 of Montreal - Skeletal Lamping

An intriguing mix of material wrapped in the most complicated CD packaging I've ever seen, which unfolds to create a multi-coloured cardboard sculpture.
