Jason Moran - From The Dancehall To The Battlefield I saw this performed and it was a moving evening's listening. Sounding good again today (I risk posting this as past discussions of it here were tenacious to say the least..)

I was just looking at the prices on that. Just £50 over here, how do you rate it? It's more of a space rather than cost issue

Jason Moran this morning, 'Artist in Residence' and 'Modernistic'. Enjoyed them both, a lot. I used to buy all his releases but pricing and lack of distribution over here since he's released on his own album has stopped this. A shame but I'm all for him charging what he feels represents value for his artistic endeavours Edit to add: I now see that they're all fully streamable from BC. Not sure that's always been the case. Great news

That's the pressing I have too. Sounds great as you say

👍

It's a great album whichever.

Glastonbury Festival So far Lankum and Black Pumas have hit the spot. 35 years since I was last there...sofa watching seems right now

They did. A team known historically for choking at big matches but I think this was just a case of India being stronger. India's bowling attack is very special and in Rohit have a great captain and batter

Me too, 5 episodes in and very much enjoying what feels like a different approach to narrative

Relative Pitch seems to be recording some of them, often in solo fluke-mogul is playing with Fred Frith at Oto later in the year but I have a clash, shame

thanks to the Avant thread discussion

That's exactly what I thought too Edit to add: just purchased 'Vanishing Pleasures' by The Ghost to start to remedy my ignorance

This, absolutely And if I do find myself questioning it I just shift some out. Sold 150 of my old long-ignored rock LPs this month, they'll fund a few high ticket price Jazz albums. Happy all round.

Or, a healthy relationship with physical items (not something I have...but strive for)

Not screwed at all if you've had hours of stimulation listening to them, that's what they're for. Screwed if you bought them as an investment opportunity, definitely.

Sadly not

Exactly...

And follow the cricket and football! Thanks for the sentiments gents

Thank you

Tested positive on Sunday, feeling rough with high temperature etc since Saturday. My last dose was 72 hours of discomfort then tailed off. Hoping this is similar

They even named a band after it

It was great that USA got as far as they did. T20 as a format favours batters but they way in which bowlers have adapted has been a fascinating aspect. It's brought spinners right back into focus as well. And yes "dot balls" essential jargon

Same here

I had an ECM LP where the lamination was peeling, I removed it and I think that was a mistake as it left a cover with adhesive still there. Have you got a plastic sleeve you can place the LP in, with the remaining laminate still present? Great album

No, an earlier 33rpm
