GIARDINI DI MIRO' - Different Times (2018)

This Italian group come back after some years with this new work in 2018. Sonorities are very clear with good technique and good arrangements. Also the vinyl  (2 LP 180 gr.) and double cover is in a refined packaging.
At the end the content seems good but not at the same level.
Here is a rip of my vinyl copy.

Enjoy: different times

STAN RIDGWAY - Anatomy (1999)

Stan Ridgway after the "Wall of Voodoo" experience began a solo career. His unmistakable voice, melanchonic ballads and stories are the main ingredients of his music. "The Big Heat" and "Mosquitos" are the most popular works of  his solo career. "Anatomy" appears to be more thoughtful compared to the others. The  "techno-western" characteristic of Wall of Voodoo music is here less evident and more relaxed atmospheres are proposed in this album.

SURF60 - Spotify playlist (May 2020)

In this period I spent a lot of time at home (as many of you I presume).
Music was a good way to fill the time and I also explored new sources.
For example on  "spotify" or "deezer"  I search for new bands (but also well known), different  sonorities and so on.
In few words I was interested  to  search something different or new (for me).
Here is an exctract of some interesting things I collect in a playlist.
The playlist at the moment is at the beginning  and new songs probably will be added in the future.
If you are interested here it is:

RITUAL HOWLS - Rendered Armor (2020)

Another proposal from my recent listening. This US band was in a spotify playlist presented by "Second Still". So I searched for some works and this is the last issued (dated 2020).
Interesting band and listening to this seems to me like a cocktail:
50% Sister of Mercy, 10% Wall of Voodoo, 10% Thin White Riot, 10% Various  and just a little of Simple Minds (track "Thought Talk" remember me Simple Minds at early works sonorities of Empires & Dance and Sons and Fascination).

HERE: Rendered Armor

SINK YA TEETH - Sink Ya Teeth (2018)

In this period of forced locked down we have additional time for our music. I take the opportunity to search for something new (for me) using spotify, deezer, bancamp and suggestion coming from other blogs. This duo "Sink Ya Teeth" is one of the interesting thing I discovered. Here is the first work dated 2018 with the duo name but they just release the new one "Two". You can easily search on the streaming music tools or take a look here

ANDRA DAY - Cheers to the Fall (2015)

This week watching at the TV (yes we are still confined at home) a movie based on Gianrico Carofiglio "night passengers" I was attracted by the soundtrack. A Beautiful voice , cool atmosphere. So I search on the web some information about this soundtrack and at the end this is the result:
Andra Day is the singer and "Rise up" probably the most famous song (some similarity with Adele ).
The first album is dated 2015 and here for who doesn't know, the possibility to test.

ENJOY: Cheers to the Fall

JESUS AND MARY CHAIN - April 1, 2020

Normally I post few comments to the concert I attend. Unfortunately today it is not the case. Due to COVID19 all event are cancelled and we have to stay home. This ticket will remain in my collection as it is!!!
We can only imagine to be there and hope to future opportunities. In the meantime we can  listening to what we have in our music collecton (or Hard discs). Here I can forward to you something recently downloaded from other sources.
Honey's Dead was originally released in 1992 but this 2 CD version I don't know exactly when.

ENJOY :Honey's Dead

JULIE'S HAIRCUT - After Dark (2006)

Julie’s Haircut 2006 work “After Dark, my sweet” here as mp3 version. Excellent sonorities from the Italian group. Some tracks will be later used as basis for their future works.

Hear: After Dark (mp3)

THE THE - Infected (1986)

In this period because of the COVID-19 restrictions (close at home as all italian and part of europeans are raccomented to do), I spent some time to reorganize my vinyls and CDs. I had in my hand this 1986  LP from THE THE  (Matt Johnson). I think that title and front cover decribes very well the  existing atmosphere at the moment in great part of the world.
I already posted this in 2016 but the old link is probably expired.

Waiting for a better period we can listen to some good music. 

This is not my rip but I found it

LES PANTIES - Cold Science (2016)

I was introduced to this band by "needletime " blogmaster's blog and I have to Thank You him for this.  After listening to the EP " here nad now " posted here: (needle time)
 I was curious to hear something more .
At the end I found  this on the web.
It is a CD compilation with all the previous released of the band.
I don't know if it a my own feeling or a new fashion but I hear to this "80 new wave" music more and more by new bands.
It could be that NEW WAVE is coming again!!!!

Good listening to this:      Cold Science
