The Beautiful South album Painting it Red celebrates a 20th anniversary today! In all honesty I’ve never liked TBS, but after revisiting I might just have been wrong. The concept album about middle age was their longest. Perhaps middle age has changed my tastes.

The recent John Coltrane release Blue World was recorded in 1964 for a film soundtrack. The recordings were made during a high point of Coltrane’s output with the classic quartet. But were archived, and finally see the light of day.

The DeVotchKa new album This Night Falls Forever is the first original material LP in 7-years. The indie-pop band haven’t been idle in that time, working on numerous film projects, which is evident in this very cinematic release.

Tunnel of Love by Bruce Springsteen is 30 years old today. Underrated in The Boss back catalogue? Doesn’t sound dated like many albums from late 80’s.
