What was the last... `Tune` that you played ?
Yuk? They really are an extension of the heavy metal movement of the 70's. Don't tell me you didn't enjoy Deep Purple et al?
I did enjoy Deep Purple a bit back in the 70's and they have a place(although small on my iPod)but I like to continually update my music with stuff that is new and exciting. Music seems to be a strange art form where people find a type of music in their teens/twenties and then listen to it over and over again and stop exploring. I don't read the same book over and over again that I first read and enjoyed 30 years ago, I don't drive the same car or eat the same food etc etc
I love system of a down, haven't listened to them in soooooo long. may trot off to listen to them now

There's very little that doesn't attract me musically nowadays.

Riot Van by The Arctic Monkeys.....seems apt at the mo'
My impulse buy :In Your Dreams - Stevie Nicks
Also Streaming samples!
arrived this morning so I listened to it in the car. Not sure her voice has improved with age....
The thing is, even as it is now, it is so much better than a lot of modern singers that are totally dependent upon Autotune to hold or reach a note.BTW, I'm listening to Clues by Robert Palmer this morning. Good morning Goodreaders!
Now moved on to The Best of Three Dog Night. Presumably they didn't have the nerve to call it Greatest Hits.
Whilst I like Portishead, I have banned them from play in the car. Some years ago I was listening to the Portishead album and had to pull over and check the car as I was convinced that there was something seriously wrong with it. It wasn't, it was the sound effects on the album.

Me too, and CD and MP3. Loved most of their work and a lot of Bill Nelson's solo work. He is quite prolific and now distributes most of his stuff through Discipline Records, Robert Fripp's label. Www.discipline.co.uk if you are interested. There is a lot of interesting stuff over there.
Bill Nelson - excellent but preferred Red Noise to Be Bop Deluxe.Watching the Detectives - Elvis Costello
I have these 3 on a continuous loop today.5 Days in May - Blue Rodeo
Love You More - Racoon
Bad Timing - Blue Rodeo
Thanks for that Simon - am downloading now and will be listening shortly.....it's got an Anna Calvi track on it, so worth doing just for her but also The Kills, Animal Collective and King Creosote. I've had the Villagers track since it came out - one of the fave recent toons
David Holmes - lets get killedTakes me straight back to when Dance music was deep down and dirty....hmmmm.

I saw Joy Division play at Leeds Sci/Fi festival !... sadly I don`t remember anything about them.

Listening to Brandon Flowers - Flamingo.Not a bad album but it lacks the power of The Killers music.
Now listening to Linkin' Park - A Thousand Suns.Some of you may have gathered by now that I listen to a lot of music. What, you've not noticed?

I used to have Charisma, it's around here somewhere. I put it down a little while ago.
I once read of a manager's assessment: "His staff will follow him anywhere, but only out of curiosity."
Cumbia Bichera - El Remolon (from this free download mixtape: http://zzkrecords.com/mixtapes/ZZK_Mi... )

Love and Brandon Flowers - flower power all round Geoff. I used to have some records on the Charisam label
