Stormy Monday Blues

A good, relaxing weekend, with some CV writing for job applications.

Lots of 'new' music today, from recent purchases and downloads:

Come Running to Me - Herbie Hancock; the Jamie Cullum series on Radio 2 is very interesting and has opened my eyes further to this pianist. His Miles Davis Quintet stuff is great, as is Headhunters, but I haven't got any later stuff,
Glorious Fool - John Martyn, from the recent Andy Kershaw show,
The Dean and I - 10cc. I'm fairly ambivalent about 10cc. The LPs I have seem to contain one or two good tracks, but then filled with, erm, filler (IMO, of course). A recent compilation was too good to mix,
Maiden Voyage - Herbie Hancock, just post-Miles Davis,
Butterfly - Herbie Hancock,
Donna - 10cc,
The Wall Street Shuffle - 10cc,
Star 6 & 7 8 9 - The Orb, from the recent re-issue on CD with the famous Peel session,
Little Fluffy Clouds - The Orb. Ditto,
Manhattan - Herbie Hancock,
In Vogue - Japan,
Never Let Me Go - John Martyn (AK session),
Experience - Gentle Giant. Probably one of the top five live rock albums ever,
Donor - Judee Sill. After hearing her tracks on 'Sounds of the Seventies' on Radio 2,
Ridge Rider - Judee Sill,
Circle - Herbie Hancock,
Fall In Love With Me - Japan,
Rubber Bullets - 10cc,
Late Night Shoppping - David Sylvian. I've read a lot of poor reviews of this, but took the plunge recently. Sounds good to me - what's the problem?
Cooltide - John Martyn (AK session),

Great selection.

T - 4, M - 4, D - 4
