Sounds like my sort of thing @Blueingreen. In a similar vein, Black Vinyl White Powder by Simon Napier-Bell is a great potted history of 20th century pop. One of my favourite ever books. At least, it was when I read it 10 or so years ago

Listening to the 15th anniversary re-release of Beyond, the first reunion LP from Dinosaur Jr. on purple and green vinyl.

Yeah I read that too although probably more like 20 years ago than 10 so my memory is a little vague. I remember finding it very entertaining though.

The new Pigs x7 track is good

Brand New Cadillac by Vince Taylor and His Playboy's. The excellent Joe Moretti on guitar who played on a lot of early British rock and roll and pop. 
It is quite raw and manic, not hard to see why punks liked this (although The Clash version is polite in comparison).

Sco-Mule.

John Scofield and Govt Mule 2CD live.

Glorious; Sco in full fusion god mode, guitar screaming with the Mule pounding along beneath.

There are some bloody fantastic exchanges with Haynes.

I must revisit this album. Big Mule fan, but this one never quite clicked with me. Maybe it’s time.

Hmm, still not clicking for me. The Mule, and Warren, are great, as usual, and nowt wrong with the tunes, but John Scofield to me is the guitar equivalent of that weird squealing thing saxophones do when the player goes so high they run out of notes.

A little known Irish band who played to a handful of people in the early slot at Glastonbury earlier this year.

Beatles Revolver Super Deluxe. I've only got through the 2022 mix of the album plus the first few "in progress" versions but I like it. The new mixes are subtle but nicely done - the bass and drums really benefit from everything else being panned out a bit.

I love the new mixes. The vocal harmonies in particular are sickly sweet. I'm enjoying the material a lot more in a way that didn't happen with the other remixes

Currently listening to First Aid Kit's new Long Player "Palomino" its rather good.

Last week was a mixture of the Pixies latest  "Doggerel" which is excellent, Taylor Swift "Midnights" which is very good and Def Leppards "Diamond Star Halos" which wasn't as bad as I was expecting.

Been going through the Turnstile back catalogue and found this from 8 years ago.

I'll have to check out that FAK album, I remember them from Glastonbury a few years back. If you like Taylor Swift, the rerecorded Red album is good. I think it's called Taylor's version. The production and mixing by Serban Ghenea is top draw.

Here's a throwaway track from the redone Red album bonus CD. I'm actually using it as one of my mixing reference tracks, such is the genius of Serban Ghenea.

The new Springsteen album - Only The Strong Survive - which for those who don't know, is an album of soul and R&B covers.

It's absolutely fantastic - it might sound like an odd concept unless you realise just how much the original records were an influence on him and his music, and it's clearly done with a huge amount of love. One of the best things he's done in at least twenty years.
