I always stick the best Xmas songs on a USB for the car during December and this year added a few Xmas carols sung by a proper choir.

But I still ended up with Bruce Springsteen's live 75-85 compilation for a recent long journey ..... always end up going mental to Badlands just when stuck in traffic and the car next to me thinks I am on another planet.
 
Just back from a wander into town. Popped into local Oxfam Music and Book shop. The had Chris Rainbow (Produced Alan Parson Project) 1978 album Looking Over My Shoulder on 12" vinyl - for £5!!! One of my all time favourite albums that I only have on a knackered tape somewhere. A real rarity and great 'Beach Boy-esque' harmonies all done by himself. If you like(d) the Beach Boys - and even if you didn't - have a listen - all his own songs - Dear Brian being his tribute to Brian Wilson (of course). Brilliant.

Bad Manners. Saw them live last night and they were magnificent. Ne-ne-na-na-na-na-nu-nu!!!
 
Where did you see them. Think they were due to play Sub89 in Reading this weekend
Under the Bridge, the club at Chelsea FC. Supported by the Pukes and Splodgnesabounds. When the latter played The Toy Dolls' Nellie the Elephant, the place went completely bananas.
 
Down - Nola
Rock it baby

Confessions of a Romance Novellist - The Anchoress - think kate bush, meets PJ harvey, meets bat for lashes. Sings beautifully and is a multi instrumentalist. Impressive live too.
 
Probably going to open myself up to heaps of ridicule with this, but I am loving listening to quite a lot of various Americana artists at the moment. Specifically Drew Holcomb and Dan Tyminski at the moment, but there are others as well. Anyone else listen to this sort of stuff and have recommendations?

Just recently stumbled across Frazey Ford - that the sort of stuff you're meaning? Think she's Americana/Folk/Country
