My favourite "time" of all - is it modal too perchance?

My favourite "time" of all - is it modal too perchance?

i're-counted this morning, it's in 6/8

and yes, it's a vocal modal waltz, baby. the rest of the album is gorgeous but this is the real standout for my ears. tell Santa, Gian.

A friend will have a new single out shortly on Great Pop Supplement. The track below is a vaguely seasonal album track that they've put up on YouTube ahead of the release. Allison was previously vocalist in British band 18th Day of May and this is her new baroque-psych-pop recording project with Hewson Chen and Matt Schulz, called Lake Ruth. I think this is quality, so I hope people here will like.

The Rocafort label has just put out a few African 45s by Cisse Abdoulaye, Sylvin Marc and Orchestre Poly-Rythmo de L'Atantique.... You can get them individually or as a set of three from the bandcamp page. Honest Jons also have them. Some of the tracks, but not all, appeared on the recent 'I Am Drum' comp. I like this label and these are great records.

I'm also pleased to see- because I've been after a copy for some time- that this has just been reissued.

That is quality Dan. I loved 18th Day Of May, saw them a few times and thought I'd come across something special....then they disappeared Has she done anything else in between that and this? Her voice is still beautiful.
Why does the unbridled joy in those dogs faces bring tears to my eyes? Silly old fool I am.
I'll be picking that up.

Glad you like it mate. Since leaving 18th Day of May, Allison has relocated to the US, taking one of my best mates with her as her husband. She was recording for a while under the name The Sliver Abduction, but I'm not sure if any of this got an official release.

A friend has just released a limited CD (Sorry, no vinyl) of live Clive Palmer recordings from the 70s/80s, all recorded at Pipers Folk Club here in Cornwall.

Maki Asakawa is still very popular in Japan. On auction sites and in 2nd hand shops you'd be lucky to find an LP for less than 2000 yen (about 20 dollars). I picked up an LP of hers at a flea market. Very dark. My Mrs doesn't care for it so it doesn't get played very much. Maybe a headphone listen tonight.

That's lovely. I always meant to check out 18th Day of May, but never did. I was intrigued because it's my birthday, as well as my wife's who, as it happens is called Ruth. They are clearly hugely inspired by my life.
