Day 24

CD#105 Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds - Abattoir Blues/The Lyre of Orpheus

This came in a fancy box with a booklet of photos and lyrics, which is probably why it caught my eye as I'm not a huge Nick Cave fan. Despite that I'm enjoying it so it might get played a bit more often from now on.

CD#106 The Levellers - Levelling The Land

The anti-Mumford and Sons of the 90s, and still going it seems.

CD#107 Clive Murray - Earthman

I have to confess I'm not really into instrumental rock guitar, and I bought this because he's a friend. Despite that I really like it, there's more to it than just one guitar sound playing vaguely similar tunes and the backing to the lead instrument is always interesting too.

CD#108 Wilco - Yankee Hotel Foxtrot

Another band that's been on my list because I generally "like a lot of that kind of stuff".

CD#109 Split Enz - Second Thoughts

I love this album, it has everything that made early Split Enz so magical.  Dizrythmia is a pretty close second for songs, but it doesn't have all the mad stops and starts. . . or spoon solos.

CD#110 Mull Historical Society - Us

According to Wikipedia this received generally positive reviews and after it was released the record label dropped him. Which seems harsh.
