Ain't got no records to play

In which you recommend to me something new to listen to because I'm bored with everything I have.

I hit King Tubby pretty hard this weekend. Made me crave rum punch and conch.

you might have to tell us everything you have, else we'll just suggest things you're already bored of.

[TomAz]

I doubt it.

King Tubby is an excellent start, fb.

haha. i actually just deleted that post because i wasn't sure if it was you or faxman who i made the mix for. For some reason I get you 2 confused a lot. Maybe its the Arizona thing.

Oh, and that doesn't sound good if you had to listen again...

[TomAz]

I thoroughly enjoyed the above compilation when our host spun it after Thanksgiving dinner, enough that I picked up a copy the next day.

As for new new music, I'm still down with the Common Prayer debut...



...as well as Harlem's second album...



I'm also having a lot of fun with the blue-eyed soul on the reissue of the first Dexys Midnight Runners LP...

This is usually a good place to start.

I think you might enjoy Stiffed - Burned Again.

[bballarl]

Oh, Hannah just reminded me:

The Tallest Man on Earth - The Wild Hunt

[Hannahrain]

You also might hate it. I don't know. I probably don't care very much either. But I like it and sometimes we like the same things and it has drums.

[Hannahrain]

I changed my mind. You'll hate it.

[Hannahrain]

It's basically what an album would be if Santigold sang on All You Fascists.

[Hannahrain]

I bet you already know about and listen to Dave Rawlings Machine but I have been liking that on the more recent side of the not-too-distant-past.

A great "very" English record! One of my faves! Dexy's were so much more then "come on eileen"

I like the Tallest Man on Earth. I don't have that one though. Thanks!

Tom, I second Crispin's call for Harlem and Andrew's rep for Frankie Rose.

I will add Sleepy Sun's Fever as an option, even if you didn't get excited about their last album, Embrace.

[TomAz]

thanks to the suggestions in this thread I am downloading Frankie Rose, Harlem, and the Augustus Pablo/King Tubby albums.

[TomAz]

I have been really digging the Harlem record. It sounds a lot like early Who to me, in a good way. I mean the drums are (early) moonish and the singer is (early) daltry-esque and there's enough guitar buzz that the connection seems obvious to me. But I can't find any reviewers who get this and I don't understand why.

Frankie Rose didn't quite do it for me on first listen, I think I was expecting something a little punkier for some reason. I need to free my mind of expectations and listen to it again.

Also, Augustus Pablo and I have been very good friends this weekend. It's really amazing how fresh that old record still sounds.
