What are you listening to right now?

I always play a mix of Muse that I have in the car and on the media centre which is a compilation. Favs are Uprising. Supamassive Black hole, New Born, Butterflies and Hurricaines and loads of others. Just can't find any other music to beat it.

Little bit of a Muse groupie. Great concerts like Wembley and their Australian gigs. We are going overseas soon for work and play and hoping they announce some Eurpoean dates in their summer so we can see them again. They are playing with U2 in South America but I have no desire to go there!!!

Thanks, WPT. I'll give the Supertramp a listen - you make a persuasive case for it.

And the Dr and the Professor at the head of a great list! Love their work. And on "Crawfish Fiesta", the pair of them together in actual hi-fi.

Funny you mention Jimmy Smith. I was listening to "The Sermon" recently. The Hammond - a very special sound: almost big enough on that album to match Lee Morgan's trumpet.

I should qualify it though (backpedaling fast) we all have different musical tastes!!

Hi Fi - can't get my kids to apprecate the difference (yet). Theirs is all compressed in the main.

Jimmy Smith got accidentally posted to me when I was a teenager "The Best of Jimmy Smith" on Atlantic records - still have the vinyl LP in pretty good nick. His version of "I got my mojo working" is a ripper!

No need to backpedal, WPT. My musical interests are very broad. Today, for example, I've been listening to Rostropovich playing Bach's Cello Suites and also to some Ralph Vaughan Williams.

I might or might not like the Supertramp when I listen to it - but it probably won't irritate me as much as listening to the Choir of King's College covering Ralph's setting of All People that on Earth Do Dwell. Hearing that raised 2 important questions for me: first, how is it possible to play muzak on a pipe organ? Secondly, is there some way I can get that 4m and 55s of my life back? (I can recommend Hugh Bean's violin efforts in The Lark Ascending, though.)

New Radiohead album, of course.

I'm digging this track:

Quiet at work on night shift so far so I found this from the late 70's or early 1980's. The Nylons- its fabulous 4 guys, one drum machine & virtually acapella but how good are they? A Canadian group which I have on vinyl & would like to get on CD at some point:

Also heard this group "First Aid Kit" (who've developd a following through youtube) when driving home from night shift at work some months ago on PBS. I find these Swedish sisters' music "The Soderburg Sisters" quite hauntingly beautiful. The music seems well beyond their years:

Downloaded the Neil Young discography yesterday. 42 albums. Damn. Might take me a while to work through it all, the boy changed mode more often than an ADD riddled teen in a adult bookshop.

These guys!! The drummer is such a spunk, and a talented young man!




(It's my band)


I also posted this on the VPT, but incase some people missed it, here it is! Feel free to give me some feedback, no matter how positive of negative!

What? Nobody's listening to my favourites Air Supply?

[Pies4shaw]

The Incredible String Band playing "The Minoutaur's Song" from The Hangman's Beautiful Daughter:

"I'm the original discriminating buffalo man ...."

I really, really want some of whatever they were on when they recorded this.

Seriously, though - how did I never own this on LP? Why have I only just heard "A Very Cellular Song" for the first time? Visionary stuff.

Neutral Milk Hotel's In the Aeroplane Over the Sea. One of my new favourite albums.

Communist Daughter
By: Neutral Milk Hotel

Sweet communist
The communist daughter
Standing on the seaweed water
Semen stains the mountaintops
Semen stains the mountaintops

With cocoa leaves along the border
Sweetness sings from every corner
Cars careening from the clouds
The bridges burst and twist around

And wanting something warm and moving
Bends towards herself the soothing
Proves that she must still exist
She moves herself about her fist

Sweet communist
The communist daughter
Standing on the seaweed water
Semen stains the mountaintops
Semen stains the mountaintops

Listened to Radio National's "The Music Show" Saturday morning 10.00 am - 12 midday & heard this:

Tiki Taane from New Zealand:

Fantastic stuff. Apparently he was on at The Corner Hotel last night in Richmond.

Loved "Freedom to Sing"

Also Dee Dee Bridgewater "Channeling Billie Holiday & Etta James":
