    I did a lot of driving yesterday and put on a long forgotten Dad Rocks type cd. It included this ( well, with better audio) which I'd forgotten. Seems wonderfully pointless as a cover yet at the same time FGTH do it a lot better than you might imagine they would.

    I've been listening to a lot of Blue Öyster Cult.  I've been a bit of a fan for 40 years, but every now and then I become mildly obsessed with them... then forget about them again for a decade.  Most of the albums have at least two dud tracks for every good one, but at least they're not all the same.
    Might be worth checking out Jesters of Destiny (sf early 80s) and Aktor (members of Circle from Finland and Professor Black from High Spirits/Dawnbriger etc)

    Joan Armatrading Live at the Royal Albert Hall.

    Her 2011 no overdubs live album. Joan and three backing musicians, all showing more talent in their little fingers than yada yada...some surprisingly edgy/ filthy guitar sounds at times. I'd live without the odd cheesey synth moment but then those are evocative of the original versions.

    I always think I Am Kloot (John Bramwell) deserved more credit than they/he got.

    I think this is a stunning cover. Carson McKee and Josh Turner doing 'Lonely" by Tom Waits.

    Person To Person, the live album from The Average White Band. Absolutely amazing stuff. 
    I'd forgotten what a gem this recording was. They were one hell of a live band, brilliant musicians and songwriters.
    Here's a track from them during that time.

    Tool's latest. I still don't think this album is their strongest work, with definite padding in places, not to mention a lot of repeated melodies, riffs, basslines and drum parts from their previous work - but having it on through the PC speakers and subwoofer while working has been really nice. I just think they probably need to call it a day unless they're going to do something a bit more evolved on their next album. But by then they'll be hitting 70 years sold so who knows. 

    Also they must have heard me because I've somehow lost my CDs of Lateralus and 10,000 Days.

    Anyone heard St Vincents new record 'Daddy's home'? Its the first record of hers I've really loved - some seriously seventies sensuous guitar tones

    I need to hear it a bit more to decide how good it really is but I've been enjoying it more than I expected.  I don't think she's a great singer or songwriter tbh but the imagination and energy that's gone into the production and the arrangements plus the range of style and mood make for a really interesting listen.  And I do like her use of guitar - a lot of retro tones as you say but it never sounds cliched.

    This is a decent track with great playing (IMHO). Little known artist too. Blake Mills esque

    I totally get what you mean - her sound is so unconventional it can be hard to measure her as a songwritter and singer - I think her records are well produced - particairly this one - to compensate for the not always consistent songwriting.... it took my three nights of listening to it lying the dark all the way through before I really got into its immersive universe.... it sounds so lush and has some really interesting lyrics.
    And totally agree re: the retro tones that avoid cliché - what else are you enjoying? Do you ever listen to father John misty or Weyes blood or are your interests further afield?

     To be honest I don't have a deep knowledge of new music these days, I dip in here and there but I'm more likely to be listening to older stuff or jazz or whatever.

    The current artist I've been liking most is Lana Del Rey, but her most recent album is nowhere near as good as the previous one.  i wouldn't agree with @sweepy that there's no duff songs on her albums, but I do agree with him that NFR is sublime. I also liked Frazey Ford's last two albums but that is more purely retro.

    I've listened to Weyes Blood's Titanic Rising.  I thought I should have liked it more than I did. The ingredients were all there, songwriting, melodies, vocals, arrangements, production but somehow it all added up to something I found easier to admire than love. I haven't heard her other albums.

    Listened a bit to Father John Misty and actually saw him live in late 2017.  Before then I did go through a spell of really liking Pure Comedy, but the enthusiasm didn't really last.

    The recent Blake Mills/Pino/Sam Gendel stuff is sublime.
