Jon 79 - Every Now And Then

1. Pleasantish but rather empty.

2. Bit wanky. Terrible lyrics.

3. Better. Also musically masturbatory but this time it's the sound of god wanking. I like.

4. Quite a strange choice this, there are a lot more accessible tracks from this artist as well as a lot of more abstract that would work better as stand alone songs. This works within the confines of one of the all time great lp's, not sure if it works here.

5. Music Hall glam. It's alright but apart from the piano and some of the guitar work I'm not overly keen.

6. I do like this but then I am setting a trap for Crocket & Tubbs whilst I listen. I have been put off these guys in the past because of my older sister but this has actually made me want to look into their work more.

7. Tenko Funk Allstars? Very pleasant, well produced jazz funk.

8. Epic post modern torch song that like a lot of this artist's work has a little je ne sais quoi missing from it. It's a bit long too.

9. Likable rumbling/shambling (shumbling) intro nosedives into dull post pub-rock limbo.

10. Sitar jam session that ends just as it starts to get good.

11. Overrated monkeys singing about lonely cars. Pleasant enough.

12. Swinging London. Mini skirts. White boy, rhythm & blues garage acts. Some well needed energy and the best track for a while.

13. Junkie love song saved by strings and some nice guitar towards the end.

14. Ethereal strings float along like a swan through misty, still waters.

15. Sounds like someone doing an impression of Nick Drake just before the end. Pity they don't have a fraction of the talent or depth. It's not bad, it's just not great either.

Knowing nothing about music, except what I like, I'd have to say this is a bit of a muso's selection with the majority of it leaving me quite cold. It's not all bad, I did like the odd track but for the most part it didn't really do much for me. Sorry.

Still, I wouldn't mind a tracklist.
