Spinning Today - What Are You Listening To Right Now? (Part 3)

[Macca]

Album 3 (Tiger Suit) is comparatively upbeat, with some good tunes, but album 4 (Invisible Empire//Crescent Moon) is more introverted and the production less "busy", and that's what I prefer. I haven't any more recent ones, of which there are four.

I was disappointed to learn she's not from Tunstall since I used to live there.

A couple of friends of mine did have a short-lived band called 'Scabrous' and they did a song called 'Tunstall Tracey' which was quite amusing. They used to have it and some other stuff on Myspace but I don't think that's there anymore and they're both now dead.

Yeah I remember feeling the same way about this bloke.

Not actually listening to it right now, though I did play it in the car on my way home from the car boot. The only thing I bought, I got it because I heard something of theirs at NEBO and quite liked it.



Not exactly a bargain - cost just £1, but then another quid to park there, plus 20 miles worth of diesel. I'm done with car boots - every bit as disappointing as Barry describes. If you're in the market for snide perfumes, bog rolls or power tools by makers you've never heard of, you're sorted. Music Magpie all the way from now on, I can buy it for less without leaving the sofa.

Those power tools have often been stolen, or are 110V only.

I buy all my CDs from charity shops. The local Oxfam here in London being in cosmopolitan area often stock interesting titles, which at only 50p each are worth taking a punt. All you have to be aware of is broken or cracked cases, especially the 'spider'.

Over the years I've had the power tools robbed from my van a few times. Never got anything back. And I never had any luck seeing them at car boot sales - mine probably end up at a booty 100 miles away, while the ones I'm seeing for sale were probably nicked 100 miles away.

I would never buy any from a car boot sale for that very reason - the guilt would peck my head forever, because I know just how shit it is to have your gear stolen.

All of the charity shops up here are rubbish. Plenty of Robbie Williams, Coldplay and Katie Melua. And a load of MOR pap that even at 67 I was born too late to appreciate.
