I looked at the (very limited) amount of new music I purchased this year, and guess what, my age caught up with me. I am an old bastard. All of my purchases were pretty much the latest offerings of old farts. Some were working in new areas, some were collaborating with different old farts for the first time, but old farts is what they are. My main channel to newer music out of my self imposed "safety" zone was this community, and now this place is more museum exhibit than vibrant community, i have fallen back on what I know. Sad, really
tracklist
| 1 | Sharon Jones & The Dap Kings : The Game gets old |
|
I love Sharon Jones and her lovely band, they emulate that wonderful bluesy soul one might find on Stax or smaller Southern imprints in the Sixties, but one thing that marked the music in those days was the qaulity of the songs. Like a naked tailor, she needs some new material

| 2 | The Rolling Stones : Plundered my Soul |
|
I wanted to hate this, the greed, the music biz machine, the temerity of the Glimmer old ladies in retouching and half finishing old tracks now, but bugger it, I love it!

| 3 | Robert Plant : Satan, Your kingdom Must Come Down |
|
A front runner for album of the year for me, this OB delivers what I think is his best solo album, T'Bone Burnette's production, the lovely band. There is a darkness in this album that I think rivals his Caveness. Exquisite

| 4 | The Orb feat David Gilmour : Metallic Side |
|
There is this old ad for wood stain in the UK where the hook is "It does exactly what it sayd on the tin". This is the same. Imagine an Orb album with typical David Gilmour guitar licks and you know what this sounds like. The fact is though that this is a union I want and revel in

Grinderman 2 arrived and has not left my playlist. The immediate track for me was "Worm Tamer", but Sledgy mentioned he really liked this, I listened again, and I am hooked

| 8 | Elton John & leon Russell : 800 Dollar Shoes |

I like this album a lot, but have to say that if this had been recorded in 1970, it might have been an all time classic. Still good now though

| 9 | Cyndi Lauper : In The Dark |

The unusual girl tries her hand at a rookie blues album, and unusually it is quite good. She has 3 out of 4 guest stars on the money. (Yay for BB and Charlie Musselwhite and Alan Toussaint, nay for the very unpleasant Jonny Lang)and she can actually sing this stuff

By the way, the person in the image is the subject of my next book, she comitted the most notorious murder in Porterville's history and got away with it, thanks in no small part to a newspaper campaign by William Randolph Hearst.
