It’s been some time since my last update, but that just means that I now have more to blog about.
New Music (to me):
I got the new Feist Album – Metals. This is really good, a combination of rootsey, poppy songs that reel you in.
I also obtained Kate Bush’s - Directors Cut. This is a real bargain, three albums for roughly the price of one. It includes The Red Shoes, remastered, which I never owned before. I find it a great album with some high credibility guest artists. Then there is the Sensual World album. Including this is great for me since I only ever had it on vinyl. The third CD is re-workings of songs from these two albums that provides some fresh takes on songs.
Also recently acquired is the new Felice Brothers – Celebration,
Then of course there is the new Bon Iver album called Bon Iver- get it, it is truly awesome. He has also expanded his soundscape in very positive ways.
