It's a terrible addiction we have Gordon. We must go to some therapist.
I see that the Skids are making a new album which I've "Pladged". Jobson and Adamson back together again. They made some great punk and post punk pop. I loved "The Absolute Game" album.

He's actually touring at the minute, just looked him up.
New Squeeze tour announced, Oct-Nov 2017 -

Based on my experience, don't buy seats near the front. I had a great view, but they're one of the loudest bands I've ever heard. (Still great though.)
Was listening to my old copy of Babylon And On a few weeks ago - nice album that's rarely mentioned.
Blimey. That's nearly a year away. Will Jools be with them?

Very unlikely. Stephen Large is their usual keyboard player now. (Jools has his own touring band and commitments.)
He was one of the best things when I saw them - a real live wire, and nifty accordion player. It's only really Chris and Glenn from the early days.
When I saw them they did have one of their former bass players - John Bentley (he left again last year). They still rock though.
Booking a year in advance is fairly common these days for major bands/stand-ups.

Completely out of control. Really.

And yet I haven't got a single album by Squeeze. Have to change that soon.

Last I knew Paul Carrack was on keyboards.

A bit risky surely with the age of some rock stars these days.
RIP Greg Lake. 
Quote: Gordon Bennett @ 8th December 2016, 11:26 AMRIP Greg Lake.
Yes. Only just seen this. Emerson died earlier this year which just leaves Palmer.
Shit happens.
Would have loved this cover photo.
I've ordered their new album in advance. I really hope nothing is serious.

I might need to join too.

And on vinyl -
Only 7 quid in total (all second-hand).
Breeders one is cool - listening to it as I type.
So what did you guys buy today?
Quote: George Kaplan @ 10th December 2016, 6:48 PM
The only Breeders studio album I don't have.
Quote: George Kaplan @ 10th December 2016, 6:48 PMSo what did you guys buy today?
Postman brought me Ted Nugent's debut and 'Live: Blow Your Face Out' by the J. Geils Band this morning.
And I've bought 'Welcome Back My Friends...' by ELP earlier this week.

I don't know their others, so I can't compare it, but I liked it a lot on first listen.

Nice. Where do you tend to buy your stuff online? How do you decide what to buy when - if you see what I mean ie you probably have a huge Wish List? Why did you happen to buy those three albums now? Are you deal/offer orientated?

Weeeeell...
I'm trying to buy my stuff as cheap as possible so I'm comstantly on the look out. Sometimes there's this urge that makes me buy something to a relatively high price, a brandnew Sones album or a hard to find Little Feat cd for example, instead of being patient and wait for a special offer.
"Why did you happen to buy those three albums now?"
I'm trying to complete my ELP collection for some time now. I saw the new ELP deluxe editions to a very good price in my local store, so I decided to buy their 74 live album. Coincidentally Greg Lake died the next day.
I found Nugent's second album in a bargain bin at the same store on the very same day. I bought that as well and liked it. So I did a little research on Ted Nugent on the homepage of my favourite online store (a Swiss one) and found his debut to a very low price. Ted Nugent's no nonsense approach to r'n'r made me suddenly think of J. Geils so I searched for them as well and found that beauty called Blow Your Face Out to a good price.
That's how it works most of the time. A mix of opportunity/special offer, impulse, associative thinking and the will to fill the important gaps in my collection.
Where do I find my stuff?
1. The local store I mentioned.
2. the swiss online store I mentioned and amazon(.com/co.uk/.fr/.it)
3. flea market (I have some good connections there)
