Day 9: “Yes but no but..” - albums your really not sure off..staggering genius or..shite

Sooooooo it's almost one AM, September 9 in the UK, so I hope this won't be considered jumping the gun.

I'm having a new console installed and I'll have to disconnect my turntable for the day.

Anyway.
I don't think this album is shit, it's meh and it is (for me) the undisputed blemish on what was a perfect discography.

Day 8: “Birmingham Beat” - lets see how far my hometown bands have travelled..anywhere from the Midlands U.K. will do.

Bauhaus - Best of Bauhaus | Crackle

A quick google tells me Bauhaus is from Northampton. Go Cobblers. Down with The Posh. I know they'll come through in the next Nene Derby.

Errol Garner "Magician"

Ok, so the musicianship on this LP is great. But those grunts. They're so prominent and distracting. I haven't decided if they completely ruin the record for me or if they're utter brilliant and elevate the music with their charm.

Albert Ayler - Something Different !!!!!! (Bird Notes, 1986 Japanese Pressing)


Ayler is always a difficult one to me. His music is the harshest and most 'free' that I probably have in my collection and I really do have to be in the right move to fully absorb it. Its certainly not something you would put on for some light background music.

Into a second day without power following a sustained and intense wind storm. iPhone serving as hotspot while also being charged by the laptop it's providing wi-fi for :p so really trying not to miss a day here LOL.

I'd call this day's challenge: You be the judge...
