It's good to go back to the old style, and this week it's a return to the norms. I have an album to review, a most played song, and a 'random download'.
It'll be brilliant.

Glastonbury may have been a few weeks ago, but, it got me into a new band. For some, they may be the oldest thing in the world, but for me, they are fresh meat for the ears to devour.
Rodrigo y Gabriela's self-titled Rodrigo y Gabriela is not the average fare from ex-thrash metallurgists. If I'd been told they were from a thrash group, I'd have expected something a lot heavier.
As it stands, this album is a nice, melodic flow through latino classical guitar. Rodrigo's jazzy latino leads complement Gabriela's rhythms spectacularly; so much so, that you'll want to improvise over the top of the songs sometimes, for an even fuller experience.
I have to say, the first five tracks really set the album up to be good. …
