After a good weekend, wherein I drew up a plan for future employment strategies, it was back to the grind...
'Shuffle all' produced:
All the Right Friends - REM, from the Vanilla Sky soundtrack. I don't know if this is from an album of theirs but, frankly, I gave up on REM a while ago,
These Days - REM, from the early, good, albums,
Gold Dust Woman (demo) - Fleetwood Mac: very interesting to hear the stripped-down versions of the 'Rumours' album,
Angels of Death - Hawkwind. I was almost tempted to sing along with this, until I realised where I was,
God Man - David Sylvian,
Pleasant Valley Sunday - The Monkees,
Over - Portishead. What happened to Portishead?
Down and Out - Genesis, from the first post-Hackett album,
If I Could Do It All Over Again, I'd Do It All Over You - Caravan. Just superb,
Taking Islands in Africa - Japan. Haven't heard this one in ages,
Tundra - Jethro Tull, from their 'Under Wraps' album. Although this album is dominated by synthetic drums and synths, it's pretty good. This is an extra track on a re-release CD,
Like Pictures Part #1 - Eno/Schwalm. Part #2 features Laurie Anderson, but this is just a short instrumental,
Cinderella Search - Marillion.
2112 - Rush, to accompany my walk to work. Fantastic. I first heard this in a pub in Bradford while I was playing pool. It was on the juke-box (!).
The Joe Boyd book is interesting, but it hasn't reached any kind of cross-over with music I'm familiar with (although it has mentioned, in passing, Miles Davis, Coltrane etc.), so I hope it'll pick up a bit soon.
