Music is forever changing and its easy to be caught in a time warp. I grew up in the 90s and listened to alot of the alternative bands, such as pearl jam and soundgarden. Over the last few years I lost faith in contemporary music and could not really connect with the new music coming through. But I find there’s always a handful of good bands every year and recently bought the new gaslight anthem and hold steady albums and really liked them.
1) Syd Barrett – the madcap laughs
2)Buffalo Tom – three easy pieces
3) Creedance clearwater revival – green river
4) Meat Puppets – lollipop
5) Banco de gaia – songs from the silk road
6) The doors – morrison hotel
7) Nirvana – unplugged in new york
8) Eddie Vedder – ukulele songs
9) Vieux Farke Toure – Remixed: ufo’s over bamako
10) Jah Wobble and the chinese dub orchestra – chinese dub
Currently listening to the following albums..
During the last month, Ive recorded 5 songs, of which I think are fairly strong. Hopefully record more songs later in the year.In the last week wrote two songs called countryside and constellations, using different tunings. Using the washburn guitar at the moment, as it sounds better on the recordings.
