Just snagged a fabulous album from STAR STAR, a killer group from the early 90s. SS combined glam, trash, booze and sex with a bit of punk attitude. Their album The Love Drag Years is free to download. I had a blast walking down memory lane.
Not an album per say, but I downloaded one of Bruce Springsteen's concerts from The River Tour. He puts each one on his website. So I downloaded the one in my city. Very cool and one hell of a show. Over 3 hours. The man is an entertainer.
I downloaded a great album by Van Morison called "Duets: Reworking The Catalogue"......the great Irish poet/musician hooks up with some jazzy guests for a very nice album!
I bought this a while back, but then couldn't listen to it because I found out my father died shortly afterwards, and a lot of it is 'about' Cave's son's death. I started listening to it properly in November, I think, and it really is lovely ... more love than anything they've recorded before. I'm looking forward to seeing them live tomorrow night.
