again if you don’t have this one from the Boss over at Floppy Boot Stomp
then you need this for your Bowie Archive the Kit Kat Club is now legendary
in terms of ROIOs and this of course is one of the best version I have heard
. . . . again from a favourite band from just up the road from me here from a favourite album with an earthwork from just up the road too! Andy, Colin and the boys
. . . .don’t think we could ever NOT share a Sandy Denny and this is no exception . . . might sign off the day with this wondrous song, from the wondrous voice
We have had this before (see above there years ago now) and wouldn’t you know
it its old gobshite here who spouts off on the first time around i the comments
section but what I said then still stands. I said the other day that the collectors
of Bowie boots will find the 90s his heyday of ROIOs and they are, as a body
of work, simply astonishingly good.
I ruminated that where Brian Eno his erstwhile frequent collaborator there is hardly
anything of any quality in the same genre but for his close David they are legion!
Enjoy! I certain did thanks again to the Boss at FBS/VW

Tom Waits picked his 20 favourite albums of all time
FAROUT Magazine 2023
"For a songwriter, Dylan is as essential as a hammer and nails and a saw are to a carpenter. I like my music with the rinds and the seeds and pulp left in – so the bootlegs I obtained in the sixties and seventies, where the noise and grit of the tapes became inseparable from the music, are essential to me.”
Tom Waits
Tom Waits’ 20 favourite albums:
In the Wee Small Hours – Frank Sinatra
Solo Monk – Thelonious Monk
Trout Mask Replica – Captain Beefheart
Exile On Main Street – The Rolling Stones
The Sinking of the Titanic – Gavin Bryers
The Basement Tapes – Bob Dylan
Lounge Lizards – Lounge Lizards
Rum Sodomy and the Lash – The Pogues
I’m Your Man – Leonard Cohen
The Specialty Sessions – Little Richard
Startime – James Brown
Bohemian-Moravian Bands – Texas-Czech

Houndog – Houndog
Purple Onion – Les Claypool
The Delivery Man – Elvis Costello
"Being inspired by Bob Dylan and The Beat Generation, Waits would later move to Los Angeles, where he signed his first recording contract with Asylum Records. The development of Waits’ sound would gradually move closer to rock, blues and experimental genres, so it was clear that he would cite Trout Mask Replica by Captain Beefheart as an album that had a significant impact on his life.
“The roughest diamond in the mine, his musical inventions are made of bone and mud,” Waits said of Beefheart’s album. “Enter the strange matrix of his mind and lose yours. This is indispensable for the serious listener. An expedition into the centre of the earth, this is the high jump record that’ll never be beat, it’s a merlot reduction sauce. He takes da bait. Dante doing the buck and wing at a Skip James suku jump. Drink once and thirst no more.”
I have eight of these amongst the collection down in the vaults (down past the dungeon and turn right by the Ha-ha) Despite my tutor at Art School being on his list I have to disagree with Lee here as "perfectly balanced” “neatly constructed” a list as its possible to get?
Nope it is ODD!
Marc Ribot? Les Claypool? Lounge Lizards? ( I own this one but top twenty in anyone’s collection? I think not?!
Despite the mention of Dylan being as indispensable as "a hammer and nails" - the Basement Tapes? Odd and perverse choice I thought . . . . .
How about you? Discuss . . . .aaaaaand GO!
