Sometimes you need something loud...

Big Black - Atomizer. UK first pressing on Blast First from 1986

Raw and loud. Big Black was Steve Albinis creative peak imo, nothing that followed this band was as good (not talking about his production work here)

Toy - Songs of Consumption. New release from a band I've always considered to have the talent but somehow managing to miss the sweet spot. This album, however, does get there. It's a covers album but if you didn't know any of the songs, you'd probably not realise, as it gels together as an album really well. They may actually be a better band doing other peoples material. This is the Cream Vinyl version

Next up longtime Ty Segall sideman, Mikal Cronin's fourth solo album - Seeker on clear blue vinyl.

I'm amazed he has time to write his own material with all the releases TS puts out but his solo material is nothing like Segall's. Always much more pastoral (in comparison.)

Very 70's rock influenced, Led Zep's Kashmir is an obvious reference point but there are plenty of others too.

The Comet Is Coming - Afterlife. Black Friday Ltd Edition of 1500

Companion E.P. to the Trust in the Lifeforce of the Deep Mystery album from the start of the year (which will definitely feature in my albums of the year list)

More of the same really but that's a good thing.

Angel Olsen - All Mirrors (Clear vinyl - Double Album)

Another one of those take it or leave it acts for me up until this point. DIdn't dislike her but never liked her enough to buy anything

This album changes that as its gone all lush with strings and that. Definitely heading into Anna Calvi territory (A good thing)

The missus is cleaning the house, you know, for the festering season an all that. Does my head in. I spot two cd's upstairs where they most definitely shouldnt be. Where did they come from? I ask in feinged innocent tones..

Oh you've got loads of CDs in the box room, you've got CD's all over the house.

(Resists temptation to say they are only all over the house because YOU'VE put them there because in my world CDs only live in two places - big CD shelves in living room or in small neat stacks near the CD player and record player in the man cave for my current players)

Anyway, this was one of the two. Jehovahkill by Julian Cope - First Edition CD (Who knew such a thing existed)

I really don't think I ever played this much as it's a bit of a discovery listen this and nothing is familiar.

I am now planning a rescue mission through enemy lines to repatriate the missing CDs to their rightful home.

I'm also secretly hoping she has a secret stash of my vinyl somewhere too
