Iggy Pop, The Idiot, 1977 on RCA Victor
Iggy Pop is one of those threads that lives in the lineage of Bowie, Bauhaus, and Love and Rockets - lots of records i've posted lately. David Bowie produced The Idiot just before producing his own Low, though Low came out just before The Idiot. Bowie and Pop get cowriting credits, plus Carlos Alomar on the first track. R.E.M.'s cover is where I think I first heard "Funtime" which appears here as does "China Girl" years before Bowie would revisit it on Let's Dance. Definitely a […]https://goatless.org/2026/06/20/iggy-pop-the-idiot-1977-on-rca-victor

Bauhaus, Press the Eject and Give Me The Tape, 1982 on Beggars Banquet
Live album from Peter Murphy, Daniel Ash, David Haskins, and David J, recorded in London and Liverpool in 1981 and 1982. I always loved this cover - a photo by Eugene Merinov - and the labels with the Bauhaus style faces in black and white. Great set of live versions, including a nine-and-a-half minute "Bela Lugosi's Dead." Also a wonderful picture sleeve. My copy—via Big Fun Records in Beverly MA—is a 2022 reissue, remastered and issued as part of The Arkive, a series celebrating 40 […]https://goatless.org/2026/06/18/bauhaus-press-the-eject-and-give-me-the-tape-1982-on-beggars-banquet

Love and Rockets, Love and Rockets, 1989 on Beggars Banquet.
Although self-titled, this was actually the fourth LP from Love and Rockets, following after Earth Sun Moon. It was also their last for 5 years as they pursued various solo projects. "So Alive" became their biggest hit in the US and made the album their best-selling here. It's not my absolute favorite—that would be Seventh Dream of Teenage Heaven—but I do still really like "No Big Deal" and "Motorcycle" as well as "So Alive."

Depeche Mode, Construction Time Again, 1983 on Sire / Mute / Reprise
This was the third full length from Depeche Mode, originally released in 1983 on Mute, distributed in the US by Sire. Alan Wilder had joined and wrote two of the songs on the album. (Vince Clarke had departed after the debut album). One of my favorites, including "Love, In Itself," "More Than a Party" and "Everything Counts" just on the A-side. My copy—via Beverly Coin & Jewelry—is a 2014 reissue by Rhino & Reprise pressed at Rainbo - but it sounds great.

Love and Rockets, Seventh Dream of Teenage Heaven, 1985 on Beggars Banquet
Debut album for Love and Rockets, though "Ball of Confusion" preceded it as a single under that band name. I always called this "Seventh Dream of a Teenage Heaven" but clearly it isn't. Daniel Ash, David J, and Kevin Haskins crafting just a fantastic and new sound here after Bauhaus split in 1983 and after Ash and Haskins spent time as Tones on Tail. Love this album from start to finish - often find myself noodling to Saudade when playing guitar or bass. My copy—via Beverly Coin & […] -

Prince, For You, 1978 on Warner Bros.
This was the debut album from his purple majesty, with all songs written, performed, and recorded by Prince himself. Recorded at the Record Plant in Sausalito CA. It's not my favorite of his albums but it shows his early promise and he was doing it all himself. Very sexy and funky even now. My copy—via Big Fun Records in Beverly MA—is a slightly later reissue, likely early-mid 80s based on the label (greyed out WB logos in the background, no perimeter text).https://goatless.org/2026/06/06/prince-for-you-1978-on-warner-bros

Bob Dylan, Highway 61 Revisited, 1965 on Columbia
Dylan's sixth studio album, following the infamous Dylan-goes-electric Newport Folk Festival and following Bringing It All Back Home. A masterpiece from start to finish, including "Like a Rolling Stone," "Ballad of a Thin Man," "Just Like Tom Thumb's Blues," and "Desolation Row." Dylan just turned 85 recently—his birthday is just 2 days (and many years) before mine. The band here is Michael Bloomfield, Alan Kooper, Paul Griffin, Bobby Gregg, Harvey Goldstein, Charley McCoy, Frank […]https://goatless.org/2026/06/04/bob-dylan-highway-61-revisited-1965-on-columbia

The B-52’s, Party Mix!, 1981 on Warner Bros.
This EP came out after both the debut self-titled and Wild Planet, and features three songs from each, remixed (as a "Party Remix" by Daniel Coulombe, Steven Stanley, and Paul Wexler and mixed into one long track per-side (cross-faded). Who can resist an album called Party Mix! from the ultimate party band? My copy—via Big Fun Records in Beverly MA—is a Winchester pressing that a previous owner wrote something on the cover of.https://goatless.org/2026/06/03/the-b-52s-party-mix-1981-on-warner-bros

Several members of the Go-Go's join for backing vocals: Belinda Carlisle, Charlotte Caffey, and Jane Wiedlin (who would co-write "Our Lips Are Sealed" with Hall).

Mose Allison, Your Mind is On Vacation, 1976 on Atlantic
Allison's 10th record on Atlantic and 20th overall. Of course the rest of the title couplet is "but your mouth is working overtime." Great record, executive produced by Nesuhi Ertegun, with Jack Hannah (bass), Gerry Granelli (drums, Al Cohn & Joe Farrell (tenor sax), David Sanborn (alto sax), and Al Porcino (trumpet) - players vary by track.

Suzanne Vega, Flying With Angels, 2025 on Cooking Vinyl
Vega's tenth studio album and her first of new material since 2014. Bob Dylan gets cowriting credit on "Chambermaid" as a kind of alternate version of "I Want You." "Speaker's Corner" is a great song as well: I have a newfound sympathy For the madman in the square Who rants and raves his rhetoric Into the midday air My version—direct from the artist at a live show at the Cabot Theater in Beverly MA—is a signed copy on grey smoke vinyl.https://goatless.org/2026/04/24/suzanne-vega-flying-with-angels-2025-on-cooking-vinyl

Elvis Costello and The Attractions, Imperial Bedroom, 1982 on Columbia
Seventh studio LP from Costello and the sixth with The Attractions, out of F-Beat in the UK and Columbia in the US. A must have for collectors of Costello or indeed the whole new wave / alternative era of the late seventies to mid eighties.
My copy – direct from the artist at a show at the Cabot Theatre in Beverly MA with Steve Nieve — is a recent reissue by UMe, who now handle Costello’s catalog.

The Robert Cray Band, That’s What I Heard, 2020 on Nozzle Records
Robert Cray (often attributed as The Robert Cray Band) has been making great electric blues albums since 1980’s Who’s Been Talkin’. This is their most recent studio album and won the Soul Blues Award at the Blues Music Awards from the Blues Foundation in 2021.
I’m a huge fan of Cray’s approach to the blues and it’s great to hear what good shape his voice and his playing are in.
I picked up my copy (on clear vinyl) at a 2024 show at the Cabot Theater in Beverly MA.

Suzanne Vega at The Cabot, June 5th, 2025
Suzanne Vega and Gerry Leonard onstage at The CabotSuzanne Vega is on 13-night tour of the east coast (Maine to DC), and one of the stops was in Beverly at the Cabot.
The show is Vega, accompanied by Gerry Leonard, with cellist Stephanie Winters joining on maybe 2/3rds of the songs. There are some backing tracks (percussion) on some songs and I think Leonard may be doubling some bass strings (an effect that covers for the lack of a bass player).
She did a ton of older material – back to “The Queen and the Soldier” and “Small Blue Thing” as well as hits like “Merlene on the Wall” and “Left of Center” – including of course, Luka.
Luka: Suzanne Vega at The CabotThey also did some material from the new album, Flying with Angels, including her adaptation of Bob Dylan’s “I Want You” rewritten from the pov of the chambermaid, and the title track. The audience kept calling for “Witches” – perhaps inspired by proximity to Salem – but Vega said they weren’t ready for that.
As an encore, the trio covered Lou Reed’s “Walk on the Wild Side” and did “Love Thief” from the new album, closing with “Blood Makes Noise” of her 99.9 F° album.
