The Psychedelic Furs (Live) 30 October 2018

Last night I had a great time with my friend 

Sean watching The Psychedelic Furs perform a 

set of classic songs that have aged extremely well.

34 years after I was entranced by the video for 

"The Ghost In You" I finally got to hear the song 

performed live with all of Richard Butler's signature

gestures and angular body language firmly in check. 

Thanks for a great show, P Furs... 

and thanks for all the years of great songs.

Vinyl Therapy: Saint Etienne. Jane's Addiction. Siouxsie.

Saint Etienne - Home Counties (2017)

East German import LP on double vinyl

Recent eBay score: Very rare...

Sealed copy of Ritual De Lo Habitual

by Jane's Addiction (1990) on double vinyl

Another recent eBay score:

Peepshow by Siouxsie & The Banshees (1988).

This was also a sealed copy of the vinyl pressing.

Vinyl Therapy: Father John Misty (2015)

The songwriting, instrumentation and production on Father John Misty's new album

 I Love You, Honeybear is fresh, classic and warm. It speaks to an earlier era of folk

  rock (think Phil Spector's knob-twiddling on The Beatles' Let It Be) with a measure of

  modern-day John Brion thrown in. The paintings by Stacey Rozich as well as the photos 

by Elizabeth Tillman and layout by Josh Tillman only serve to complete the experience.

Vinyl Therapy: The XX "Coexist" (2012)

The XX: "Coexist" (2012)

A fantastic die-cut LP sleeve with a nice insert.

Well done, guys... Oh, and it's a damn fine album as well.

Archive: Montone Live On Lost On 42nd Street

Tonight marked my second appearance on Internet Radio, and my first as the full host of my own show.

MONTONE LIVE premiered tonight with an excellent mix of great indie, alternative, britpop and electro tracks.

I was also lucky enough to get two fun call-ins from friends during the 90 minute show (which sped by amid the beats).

Big thanks to my producer, Sly, for nimbly holding the backline for a smooth program.
