Tenderden and Headcorn Visit
What a lovely sunny day it turned out to be and just so right for a trip down to picturesque Tenderden and Headcorn to do four covert shops - all chazzers as the guys at www,verygoodplus.co.uk would say.
Picked up a mixed bag of CD's and books, plus a DVD recommended by ex-landlord of the Dover Castle Inn (Phil) which is "Futurama,- Bender's Game" from one of the shops in Tenderden.
The books are paperbacks, except for one on runes -
Julian Barmes - A History Of The World in 10 1/2 Chapters (Picador)
Spike Milligan - The Essential Spike Milligan (Fourth Estate)
Simon Van Booy - Love Begins In Winter (Beautiful Books)
Sue Bruley - Women In Britain Since 1900, Social History In Perspective (Palgrove)
Ralph Blum - The Book Of Runes (Michael Joseph Ltd)
The CD's are -
Edvard Grieg - Piano Concerto in A Minor, Concert Overture,Symphonic Dances ,
Havard Gimse (piano), Royal Scottish National Orch. / Bjarte Engeset (Naxos)
The Ipamenas - Afro Bossa (Far Out Recordings) - best described as Latin electronica with a bossa feel
Animal Collective - Spirit They've Gone Spirit They've Vanished / Danse Manatee (Fat Cat)
Ladyhawke - s/t (Modular Recordings)
The Flaming Lips - At war With The Mystics (Warner Bros.)
Liars - They Threw Us All In A Trench And Stuck A Monument On Top (Blast First)
Radiohead - Hail To The Thief (EMI)
Great getting the Liars album and the first Animal Collective double album. Both got excellent reviews from the Wire magazine when they came out.. I also love the music of Grieg which i am listening to as i write.
Talking of the Wire magazine, which is still the best music mag around for its erudition and breadth of genres it covers, i bought the latest yesterday as it has a primer on the music of Steve Lacy. Mr. Lacy has been a jazz saxophonist of great artistry and intelligence moving between cool jazz to bebop to avant garde improv wig-outs.
