Playlist 14.03.08

A simple plan last night. The first hour was a recording of the 'Astral Weeks Revisited' gig from January 5. I'm still amazed by Duke Special, the Inishowen Gospel Choir and 'Ballerina'. Listen online for the next week and you will be also.

Second hour was a bunch of Van covers. Nice to hear Elvis Costello and the Voice Squad again. And of course, Jeff Buckley at Sin E, getting beautifully abstract with 'The Way Young Lovers Do'. Ten minutes of rampant precocity.
