Nope.

I kinda enjoyed Sturgill, I wasn't expecting to but he managed to avoid being country clichéd. His voice was a bit too twangy for my liking though.

Read the Wiki.  I'm now expecting a cross between Darren Hayman & The Bonzo Dog Doo-Dah Band.

I have no downloaded or physical version of it and I can't find it on any of the usual torrent places. Maybe someone with Soul Seek or one of those things can find it?

Cheers!

I have this and can bung it into a dropbox as and when I get home tonight if needs be?  

Interesting choice (in a good way), I particularly like "I'm not the man you think I am Karen, I'm the actor Tony Allen" and "Enoch Powell - Space Poet", and not just because the titles amuse me.

Do you want the version with the spoken word segments (scrolls), or just the songs?

I've no idea whicxh is which, but it's up on dropbox now, 15 tracks so hopefully tin will know which is which

I've uploaded the version with spoken parts to the dropbox as well - so you can choose which version to listen to.  (My version of the album came with a disc including the spoken passages, and a version without, so it's perfectly sensible to have both on the Dropbox.  Honest.)

The Spotify version doesn't have the spoken bits, so I haven't actually heard them. I'm looking forward to listening to them as I'm sure they'll add a lot to the album.

They add quite a bit - certainly some of the songs make a fair bit more sense in (admittedly bizarre) context.  Of course, I guess it also risks robbing them of some of the ideas you might have attributed to them already.

I only really came across it as I'm a huge fan of Cathal Coughlan and the Fatima Mansions.

I'm late, but finally listening to that Sturgill Simpson album this week. Love it but the first half (at the minute, after maybe three listens) is far stronger. So much to like his genre straddling, but keeping the vocal his own and so owning the album despite where else it goes. That takes a lot of confidence, and he's every right to have that confidence. Cheers for nidging me in the right direction there (again) Moot, because I'm very glad I'm sat here listening to it

Have given this weeks album one listen and it's very funny, I'm double surprised that it came from you Kow given yuor statement about not being up to speed on local (UK) politics. Although when yuo said yuo didn't know who Gazza was your tale started to unravel

Wasn't questioning your foriegness, just wish yuo had some more exposure to the current political and economic situation here, as the references are really quite fun. I will give it more listens ad come back with more input, but so far there's nothing not to like

I like the idea that Ireland conquered Britain in 1948.

This is great, I'm glad I downloaded the full version as some of the scrollols were amusing.  It's the sort of thing that could have gone horrendously wrong, but thankfully it hits its stride early and maintains the titters throughout.  The Gazza bit near the end was a highlight, but most of it hit the mark for me.  This'll do nicely as a pressie I owe a mate for lending me money, so I'll be picking up the CD shortly (assuming there is one).

So I guess we're at the end of the run? I actually haven't listened to North Sea Scrolls yet but I'm just downloading the album with spoken words now.

I thought, as an end bonus (or anti-bonus if you hate the albums...), I'd put up some Melbourne music I've been listening to lately. On the dropbox there's two unknown artists and one that is quite well known now.

Courtney Barnett.
Not sure if she's gotten much coverage over in the UK but I know she must have gotten big overseas as she went and played at Coachella this year. Bogan poetry to music is kind of how I see it and at first I thought it would grate me but it grew on me. There's something about her songs that makes them catchy and interesting to listen to. I could understand how one would not like her stuff though.

Eaten By Dogs
Actually my sister's boyfriend's band. Alt-country I think is how they describe themselves and I was surprised at how much I enjoyed (and still enjoy) this album. I think they're quite good at writing catchy guitar riffs and lyrics. The sis bf is the lead guitarist and sometimes backup vocalist.

The Ben Whiting EP
 By a guy I originally saw at a festival that Eaten By Dogs played at and the first thing I noticed was that if I wasn't looking at the stage I could have sworn it was a female vocalist on the stage. He possibly has one of the nicest female vocalist voices I've heard in a while.
I'd forgotten about him until the other night when I saw him busking in the city and bought his EP there. I don't think the rest of the songs stand up to the first song, which I like, but I think he has potential and it's worth a listen just for his voice. Kind of country-folk type stuff.
