Browsing my iTunes has revealed that I own (as in, legitimately paid for) *five* Boo Radleys albums. What was I thinking? Although I do also own seven Nick Cave albums, so maybe that makes up for it.
Also, Cold Case is a surprisingly good piece of television. Having an episode of a CSI-ish murder drama that’s also a Rocky Horror Picture Show homage and that features Barry Bothwick is far cooler than anyone has any right to expect.
What’s wrong with the Boo Radleys: C’mon Kids is quite good.
I really liked Giant Steps.
I really liked the Flood remix of ‘Lazarus’ as well; perhaps that was only available in the US? It was released there with ‘(I Wanna be a) Touchdown Jesus,’ which was also awesome.
I find it more surprising that someone would pay for a download rather than nipping down Fopp and buying the CD, but then I am awfully old-fashioned in my love of 44.1kHz, 16 Bit linear PCM audio encoding.
It’s like the CD-vs-vinyl argument all over again.
(And I’m lying too. I’ve bought Si Begg downloads off Bleep before now.)
No, bought them all on 44.1 & ripped them – my CD collection is now an entirely useless but quite pretty set of talismans.
I have a number of those, too.
I believe this is why God invented lofts – but unfortunately He didn’t bestow me with the will to box them up and put them there instead of sitting round on my fat arse all weekend drinking Grolsch.
