On this Day in Music – 20th December

Previous Albums Of The Day

No.1550 20/12/2020

The 2010 album Red Barked Tree by the English post-punk band Wire celebrates a 10th anniversary today! The album was loved by critics, and seen as taking the essence of their best work into a new album. A first listen for me.

No.1202 20/12/2019

The 1979 Throbbing Gristle album 20 Jazz Funk Greats is 40 years this month! Pitchfork described the LP “kitsch detour toward mutant disco.” The LP is often regarded as the British industrial band’s finest moment…and there are only 11 tracks.

No.836 20/12/2018

The Brooklyn quintet Caveman returned recently after 3-years with a new album Otero War. An album of melodic hooks and uplifting indie-rock. Definitely less hypnotic and more radio friendly than previous work. But I like this band, and enjoyed the listen.

No.464 20/12/2017

The Bruce Springsteen LP The Wild, the Innocent & the E Street Shuffle sold poorly when released in 1973, but following the success of Born to Run found new listeners. Includes his early live show closer Rosalita (Come Out Tonight). I’ve still not seen him live (shameful), have you? Where and when?
