COB - Moyshe McStiff & the Tartan Lancers of the Sacred Heart

This is a wonderful folk album, COB (Clive's Original Band) was lead by Clive Palmer, a founding member of the Incredible String Band who left to travel the world and came back brimming with new ideas. It's one of the most intensely personal statements I've ever heard, with all three members pulling their weight instrumentally and vocally. Sunbeam Records recently released an expanded 180g 2xLP, well worth checking out for fans of folk and psychedelic music.

others waiting to be spun:
Anne Briggs - Sing a Song for You LP
Washington Phillips - What Are They Doing in Heaven Today? LP

and i listened to Amy Winehouse - Back to Black this morning.

Nick Lowe - Jesus of Cool (new 180g reissue on Yep Roc)

I had forgotten how much I love this album - it's just one incredibly catchy song after another. The new remaster is wonderfully punchy and does great service to Lowe's production, too bad my copy is one of the dirtiest and noisiest new records I've ever bought. Hopefully I can find a friend with a cleaning machine who's willing to give it a spin, because my efforts at cleaning it manually aren't doing jack.
