Somehow my evening listening has taken me from Rusted Shut to the Butthole Surfers to, er, Wings. The heart wants what it wants. And Jet remains a banger.

A shitty old cassette copy of Band On The Run by Wings

There has been peripheral chatter re: Rusted Shut on the TL of late, so I'm duly re-acquainting myself. Happily so.

My brain has gifted me with the idea of Cilla Black doing 'Hands All Over' by Soundgarden. I might have overdone the coffee this morning.

Trane-ing day. I had a Coltrane listening marathon planned for today, but life has gotten in the way a bit. I have managed eight though (listed in alt-text). It could easily have been more.

8 John Coltrane LPs which I have listened to today.
In order of listening, from bottom to top:
Olé
Thelonious Monk with John Coltrane
The Avant Guard (with Don Cherry)
Kulu Sé Mama
"Live" At The Village Vanguard
Expression
Sun Ship
Live In Seattle (with Pharoah Saunders)

Happy 90th to Sunny Murray. Playing this one- it's a bit inconsistent, but look at the line-up.

For today's bring your tapes to school day, we have clarinets, courtesy of Tara Clerkin and Memotone. Much closer to the post-Feldman works of Mary Jane Leach and Linda Caitlin Smith than Clerkin's regular trio. Pairs well with tea and a bit of carrot cake. #CasSunday , as we must.

This LP is of dubious provenance and the artwork isn't up to much, but the sound is ok. The big draw is that it's the same lineup as appears on Dark To Themselves (recorded just over a month before).

Cecil Taylor - Michigan State University, April 15th 1976

Have put this on. It has Bruford, Kenny Wheeler and Annette Peacock on, which of course is a good thing. It is doing my head in a wee bit, though.

I don't think I've posted this yet, which is daft as I've been playing it loads since I got it a while ago. I like Songs For A Tailor amd Harmony Row a lot, but this one is probably my pick of the early Bruces.

Jack Bruce - Things We Like

I see that it's 909 day. The 909 was always way too pricey for me, so we'll have to make do with an upside down 606.

I love the sleeve of this one. "The ideal mother's day gift"

Anthony Braxton - Trio and Duet
Sackville, 1974
Sleeve has a dark blue background, with a crepuscular soft focus of Anthony B in a nice cardy, clutching his alto to his chest and looking dreamy.

Musicians David Holland, Leo Smith and Richard Teitelbaum are credited.

#Cassunday is it? This is a mix of Stipe Concrete- Athens indie rock delayed and looped into uncomfortable positions under herbal influence. A fun listen, available from All Night Flight.

Red Eye Music. A cassette mix of most dubious origin

This will always be September music for me. The Lab seemed to release a few of their records in/around September so they feel like an autumnal group. This one stands out because I saw them 3 days after this came out. A top 5 gig.

I haven't been able to properly concentrate on a book for the past few (rather shitty) months, so I'm glad to have hopefully broken the curse with this. Very enjoyable, in a sordid, gothic sort of way.

The book 'Moravagine', by Blaise Cendrars.
The cover is a pretty gnarly drawing of Death, the skeletal fella dressed in a hood and shroud.

Talking with my friend today about the fact that we listen to/consume so much music now, I recalled that my Grandmother (born in the 1920s) only bought one album for herself. The album? The Final Cut, by Pink Floyd.

Playing this marvel- Out by Anthony Moore. It really should have been released back in 1976 so that my Dad could have bought it and taped it for a hundred family car journeys in the 80s. But no, we got Supertramp.
