More party mixes recorded this morning...


At lunchtime, a walk to Fopp and, having been reminded by chum JB of its existence, I partook of Ryan Adams' cover album of Taylor Swift's "1989"...


It's good - but Taylor is better in my view...

Also purchased a 5CD box of Chic - reminded of their greatness by "Good Times" coming up in my recent compiling...

I had all of these on vinyl in the late 70's /early 80's - the debut was the one which was new to me...



I'd always considered this to be their best...


However, upon listening to these in the early hours of tomorrow morning...



...and despite the presence of the big hit singles on "Risque", these last two are probably better...

Weird...

Other than some listening, the evening was spent watching TV...

To bed post midnight with Chic on the cans...

Highlight of the Day : Rediscovering Chic...

What do you think of the Ryan Adams cover album? I love Chic...La Freak. Listened to The Pointer Sisters at the weekend 'Automatic', what a tune.

I like the Ryan Admas - gives a new perspective to the songs. Been doing some "Xmas Party" podcasts this week and "Automatic" was included - for its partyness not its Christmasness...
