Got this a few months ago and gave it a few listens. It didn't register with me at first, but listening to it again this evening it is really a beautiful album. It has a definite "rainy day," claustrophobic quality about it - partly because of Albarn's post-nasal drip vocals, but there's also that deep, snaking Simenon bass that really stands out. Really buzzing with all sorts of interesting ideas.

Ozomatli - Don't Mess With The Dragon. Loads o' fun.

Still listening to Sky Blue Sky, and still loving it to pieces.

I found it to be the wrong side of modern Santana.

and that's a good thing, right?

parts of it remind me of a War song. In Mazatlan maybe?

I'm not sure much is the wrong side of modern Santana. I guess that's the problem with using the same producer and allowing them creative input.

Bit of a return to form?

I'm playing Special by Garbage. What a song.

Iâ€™ve always had a soft spot for Manics, and this one could actually be their best since Everything Must Go.

That's what the reviews have been saying. I did hear one song that sounded like Design For Life revisited. That was a cracking song, and who else would open a single with the words 'Libraries gave us power'?

Well, the Elliott Smith arrived on vinyl, but I somehow ended up with two of the second disc and none of the first.

Wonderful record. Can't say it's a return to form because I really enjoyed 'Lifeblood' too. However, 'Know Your Enemy' was an awful mess. This is power pop, with GnR chords and huge chorus a la 'Everything Must Go' and 'Generation Terrorists'. It's sing-a-long, it's well-recorded and it sounds amazing live. No flab on this one, coming it at under 40 minutes. Well worth a listen.

Got a rave review in Guardian, I think it was. He never stops, does he?

The Sunday Times said something like "How boring, another excellent Richard Thompson album!"

2007 SACD/DVDA remaster. Sounds fantastic. Makes an already great album even better.

I got the box including this, Wind & Wuthering, And Then There Were Three..., Duke and Abacab.

Duke also sounds wonderful. The other remasters didn't make that big an impression on me, sadly not Abacab either, one of my faves.

Wilco - Sky Blue Sky

Really getting into this one. Ironically, for such a sedate, mellow album, it sounds best played really loud.

I've also become obsessed with the Beatles recording of 'Hey Bulldog' after hearing Elvis cover it. Yellow Submarine is the only Beatles album I never bought, and now I'm finding this track to be one of my absolute favorites.

I got this too, well just the individual Trick of the Tail, not the box, and yeah, I was absolutely blown away how great it sounds. Fantastic remastering job and real joy to listen to. Plus there's the Genesis in concert film on the DVD, which Im really looking foward to seeing again, I remember it being fantastic , including "I Know What I like " and "Suppers Ready"- and I have a nice new big giant HD TV to watch it on - Hooray !!!
If I had an advance set list I might even go and see the old boys, but I have a horrible feeling it will be all "Land of Confusion" and "I Cant Dance" and awful awful rubbish like that.
Bring on the original re-union and a full live "Lamb Lies Down on Broadway"!
