# On The CD Player Today (take 6)

Julian Cope - Barrowlands 1995


Recently discovered in Cope's archives (ie he's skint but hasn't come up with an new album's worth of material yet) a soundboard recording from the man at his peak, with his finest band backing. Three hours are cut down to 69 minutes, so no between song banter, but still an excellent document of the time.

Definitely her most underrated.

Karen O/Danger Mouse - Lux Prima

Chain-listening to Low - Double Negative while I work from home, because it's brilliant (and because it fills my headphones so I can't hear the sound of Fortnite )

 

[SpookyFrank]

The Cure - Mixed Up
Wild Beasts - Smother

 

[redsquirrel]

Fat White Family - Surfs Up

On first listen this is the best album they've made

Prefuse 73 - Vocal Studies + Uprock Narratives

I hadn't listened to any of his stuff for ages for some reason. It still sounds very fresh, nearly 20 years on.
