Faves from The Active Listener: Paul Messis, Paul Roland, The Diamond Center, The Wrong Society, Salad Boys, & Much Much More

We just received the latest sampler from The Active Listener and have found therein much to please us (Duh). We were particularly gratified to find a couple of Paulsongs we'd recently Songdropped available for name-your-price download. The one cued up first is by Billingshurst's Paul Messis, a fair portion of whose music we've loved and bought. We'd also Songdropped #3 (by Kentishman Paul Roland), and though we were not born in the 60s, we remember them well. We also particularly like #s 1, 6, & 10, although, as always, TAL's Nathan Ford has assembled a very strong package.

Actively Listening to The Beginner's Mynd, New Speedway, The Vickers, Invisible Ships, & Paul Messis

Looks like hours.

Nathan's back with Episode 10 of The Active Listener Sampler series (TALSs), with pseventeen pselected psych and pop tunes that will groovily activate your ears and, perhaps, other organs. And speaking of organs, here's our favetune from #10. You can download it with the entire LP on a NAME YOUR PRICE basis. (Message to pselfs: Be sure to thank Nathan and the bands.)



All of this reminds us that until a few seconds hence, we've not posted several previous TALS faves, all of which are available on an NYP basis by downloading the whole LPs. (We blush to be such slothful bloggers. Forgive? Didn't even notice? Phwewww`````````!)





We really like this next bloke's music but find his attitude toward/eschewal of digital distribution dismaying. Therefore, feel lucky Nathan has made this one available.
