I keep buying lots of CDs from FOPP - usually in Edinburgh or London but I hardly ever see new things I like.
Even the new recordings I buy are revivalist stuff.
The White Stripes are ace but I'm not sure it's "new" music.
Best thing I've heard recently that sounded "new" to my ears was James Ellroy's Desert Island Discs.
All Beethoven and Brukner.
Here's my choices
| Captain Beefheart | The Spotlight Kid |
| Captain Beefheart | Clear Spot |
| Carolina Chocolate Drops | Genuine Negro Jig |
| Frank Zappa | Apostrophe |
| Frank Zappa & The Mothers | Over-Nite Sensation |
| Gang Of Four | Return The Gift [Disc 2] |
| Gang Of Four | Return The Gift [Disc 1] |
| Heaven 17 | The Luxury Gap |
| John Cooper Clarke | Snap, Crackle & Bop |
| Little Feat | Sailin' Shoes |
| Little Feat | Dixie Chicken |
| Ry Cooder | Bop Till You Drop |
| Seasick Steve | Man From Another Time |
| Talking Heads | More Songs About Buildings And Food |
| The Human League | Reproduction |
| The Incredible String Band | The Hangman's Beautiful Daughter |
| The Velvet Underground | White Light/White Heat |
| Van Der Graaf Generator | Pawn Hearts [Bonus Tracks] |
| Van Der Graaf Generator | H To He Who Am The Only One [Bonus Tracks] |
Spot the new recordings!
BTW is that a statue of Stuart Maconie or Brian Clough ?

I reckon that (like me) most of that listening list was in your collection in the 70's.
The White Stripes? Why? Ever heard Jon Spencer do it properly? Nope - can't be doing with the White Stripes at all. And despite what anyone says and the risk of being branded sexist, Mrs White Stripe is a MAJOR minger.
