Duane Tatro’s JAZZ FOR MODERNS, recorded 1954-5 in Los Angeles with some of the cream of the West Coast “cool school:”. Jimmy Giuffre, Bill Holman, Ralph Pena, Shelly Manne, etc.

Six horns (trumpet, F horn, valve trombone, ATB saxes), bass and drums, no piano, as was the fashion in those days, thanks to Mulligan and Baker.

I just picked up [Xylouris White](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lZ79f6CWAQs)’s new album last night, actually. For those who haven’t heard him, he’s a lutist from Crete; this is his second album with Jim White (he’s a drummer from Australia who also plays in a 3 piece band comprised of drums, guitar and violin called Dirty Three).

I also picked up Takuya Kuroda’s new album; here’s [R.S.B.D.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mwbaUVtympY). Mr. Kuroda is a funky trumpet player.

I’m listening right now to the Cure’s _The Head On The Door_. It’s one of THE albums of my youth, but I’ve never owned the LP, because in these days we had to be cheap and share albums, so I had for instance _The Queen Is Dead_ on LP while my best friend had _The Head On The Door_ and a third one had _Black Celebration_, but we all taped each other’s records, lent them out or listened to them together. Good times, good times. But now we have sites like deezer and I can easily fill the gaps in my record collection online, and it’s great fun to listen to an album you loved as a teenager for the first time in almost thirty years. It’s astounding how much I remember. Yeah, listening to music for me is sometimes a sweet trip down memory lain…But that’s fun.

Rory Gallagher: Cradle Rock. Usually I’m an advocate for the live versions of songs, and there are excellent live versions of this, but the studio version rocks! It is acceptable to listen to this at moderate volume levels, if that is all that is available. It is only recommended by me to listen to this as loud as possible.

Now I’m listening to this too. That was pretty awesome. Before that, it was the Basement Jaxx, [Never Say Never](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U0eS3zC3Jco).

Currently listening to [Mogwai](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mogwai)’s newest, [Atomic](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atomic_(Mogwai_album)).

Outstanding. Mogwai are a band that keeps on developing. I don’t love every single thing they do, but I do love about 90% of their output, which is remarkably good for a band that’s been going as long as they have.

I know, right? I listened to yours; that was fun and massively silly. Good dance music.

C30 C60 C90 Go! by Bow Wow Wow, inspired by my post to the “best hair in music” thread. I looked up the original music video for the song on Youtube (Don’t look - it’s truly horrid!), and finally learned what C30 C60 C90 meant - they’re cassette tape lengths. All this time, I’d never even wondered.

I just watched that also, I think the video is cute and charming myself 🙂

I just went on a Siouxsie and The Banshees binge on Youtube, some great live concert footage I’d never seen before. I’d forgotten what great stage chops they had.
