The new Marianne Faithfull album is called 'Easy Come Easy Go' and it's another rich document from a quester, muse and hell-raiser. Her heath has been better, sales of the CD could well be modest, but there's such a wealth in that cracked voice and the fearless art. She is joined by old pals such as Jarvis Cocker and Nick Cave, while Rufus Wainwright puts in a show and Antony Heggarty joins in for a whooshing revision of Smokey Robinson's 'Oh Oh Baby'. I'm pretty sure you will like it also

I found an old XTC single, 'Statue Of Liberty' upstairs and it still sounds fresh, 31 years on. It was produced by John Leckie, and was therefore a good enough prompt to play something he did with the Stone Roses on that ever-amazing debut album, set for a remastered version to meet the 20th anniversary. Who knows where the time goes....
