11/02/12: Nina With Strings

1966. Nina Simone – Nina With Strings (on iPod). Did she ever make a bad record?

10/02/12: No music

No. Music.

09/02/12: Folksy Nina

1964. Nina Simone – Folksy Nina (on iPod). Superb live album recorded in 1963.

08/02/12: No music

This is unlikely to win any 'blog of the year' awards.

07/02/12: No music

No music.

06/02/12: Death Of A Ladies' Man

1977. Leonard Cohen – Death Of A Ladies' Man (on iPod). Brilliant, weird album. Phil Spector's production is masterful, even though it's somehow 'wrong'.

05/02/12: No music

No music.

04/02/12: Delay 1968 / Where the Action Is

1987. Westworld – Where the Action Is (cassette). I liked – and still like – their single 'Sonic Boom Boy', but this album is terrible. The songs just aren't very good. Some are amazingly annoying. It's nearly 25 years since I last played this tape. I won't be playing it again.

1981. Can – Delay 1968 (cassette). Probably the one of theirs I like most.

03/02/12: No music

None.

02/02/12: No music

01/02/12: I'm Your Man

1988. Leonard Cohen – I'm Your Man (on iPod). Excellent songs, apart from 'Jazz Police' (what was he thinking?), but even that is preferable to Wham!'s 'I'm Your Man' from 1985.
