Sunday rolls around again (isn't it funny how that ALWAYS happens?) and the pickings are once more a little thin on the ground in the world of music journals. Here's what we have for you this week:
Mr Dave is going through something, it would seem, of a personal epiphany, telling himself his journal is going nowhere, or has gone as far as it can. I would hope he would rethink this, as his deep and often conflicting but always interesting thoughts on everything from music to life to religion to politics is always a good read. Don't lose heart, Dave! We want more! Show him you care by hitting this link

Poor Old Po has a video from O Emperor and asks if it could be seen as psychedelic music? Give your opinions here

Man! That brings us around to me, already! Things are getting bad when I'm so far up in the update. Anyway, I've tried to keep busy this week, so in my main journal,
http://www.musicbanter.com/members-j...d-journal.html you'll find reviews of the soundtrack to the new movie “Lawless”, featuring Nick Cave and Warren Ellis, Tony Banks's 1979 debut “A curious feeling”, Alicia Keys's album “As I am” and a weird collaboration between David Gilmour and The Orb... While in my other journal,
http://www.musicbanter.com/members-j...i-reviews.html we have reviews of albums from, well, Nanci Griffith and Ivyrise. Hey, I'm doing my best!
Someone else doing his best is
Unknown Soldier, powering through 1970 in his

That, once again, is the sum total for this month. A few journals had posts but no actual specific entries, so I've ignored them. Hopefully next week there'll be more to report. Until then, don't you want to know what the 70s were like, especially if you weren't born by then? You know where to head! Toodles!
