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?

Hancock's sophomore album as a leader, recorded by Rudy Van Gelder in Englewood Cliffs NJ. Hancock joined by Donald Byrd (trumpet), Gracham Moncur III (trombone), Hank Mobley (tenor sax), Grant Green (guitar), Chuck Isreals (bass), and Anthony Williams (drums). Herbie Hancock is a master, and it is wonderful to find the early Blue Note albums - I now have the first five in good vinyl editions.

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.

Elvis Costello & Steve Nieve, March 1st 2025 at the Cabot
Last time Elvis Costello came through Beverly and did a show at the Cabot I didn’t manage to get tickets. This time, as a member, I was able to score a great seat in front row balcony.
The Costello & Nieve 2025 tour announced 15 nights in February and March:
I can’t vet all the venues, but I’m guessing the Cabot in Beverly is one of the smaller, at ~850 seats. If you can get one of the first row balcony seats it is one of the best venues on the North Shore.
The stage set includes a number of mics – lots of places where Costello can sit or stand and use various kinds of microphones, guitars, and keyboards appropriate to the mood. Nieve mostly stayed beyond the keys there in the back left, between piano and keyboard options.
They played a wide variety of songs from across Costello’s career. He was in great form, joking about getting a capo from Timothy Chalamet who he felt could play him in a biopic after “a couple of years and a couple of cases of gin.”
(Full Setlist and review from Boston.com)
The lighting played a bit of havoc with my phone camera – this was “Black Sails in the Sunset”
I did not get many recordings – was just enjoying the show – but grabbed a few snippets.
“Brilliant Mistake” early in the set – “He thought he was the King of America /
Where they pour Coca Cola just like vintage wine”There was a fair amount of reflection on America and the current political climate – consistent with what Costello called the “Angry Young Man” rep he’s been saddled with.
An almost meditative “Veronica” – with Nieve at the piano and Costello on the stool down-stage right where he played a number of quieter / more reflective songs.
For “Allison” Costello moved to the Fender Rhodes stage left – you can hear Nieve’s piano as well.
Finale of “What’s So Funny ‘Bout Peace Love and Understanding” on which Costello and Nieve traded singing duties – perhaps the expected closer but I was all about it.

The Replacements, Don’t Tell a Soul, 1989 on Sire / Reprise
This was the Replacements first album with Slim Dunlop replacing Bob Stinson on guitar. It was recorded in LA, produced by Matt Wallace and mixed by Chris Lord-Alge, purportedly in an attempt to be more radio friendly, though Westerberg said he preferred the rougher approach of other ‘mats albums.
I think it’s a wonderful album – maybe a bit more “refined” than some of the noisier stuff, but Paul Westerberg’s songwriting is top notch here: “I’ll Be You,” “Talent Show,” and “Achin’ to Be” are among my favorites.
