[Rosemary (grooving with the Picts)]

Alabama Shakes - Boys and Girls. Followed by In Our Heads by Hot Chip

[HJ]

Pixies - Here Comes Your Man. Followed by Libertines - Music When the Light Goes Out.

[HJ]

Correction - Music When the Lights Go Out!

[Jud]

I'm listening to Carmen. Makes me want to sing classically, probably should refrain from it in the office though...

[Patti (baconater)]

Dave is playing Richard and Linda Thompson.

Didn't like Linda Thompson on the good system. Even worse on an iPod dock. :(

[Geoff (G. Robbins) (merda constat variat altitudo)]

I like Richard and Linda Thompson, although I much prefer Richard Thompson's solo work. Which immediately brings me to the sublime Beeswing.

[Simon (Highwayman)]

Is that

Bee swing

Or

Bees wing

[Patti (baconater)]

Linda has such a squeally voice. Yuck.

I like Richard though.

[Rosemary (grooving with the Picts)]

Best name for a village, ever. Except perhaps for Ae, which is just along the road - next to the Forest of Ae.

[Jud]

I went to listen to Acis and Galatea only to have spotify inform me that I had reached my 10 hour limit :o(

[Geoff (G. Robbins) (merda constat variat altitudo)]

Listened to Linkin' Park's Minutes to Midnight, followed now by Roxy Music's Stranded.

Ok, I have eclectic tastes.

[Nick]

Just heard 'Bird on the Wire,' Leonard Cohen. You've got to be in the mood.

[Patti (baconater)]

Love Mr Cohen. Too right you've got to be in the mood or it becomes music to slit your wrists by.

Amazing poet though.

[Nick]

Went to see him once. Open air gig. It rained all night. Imagine the mood afterwards!

[Patti (baconater)]

Cool! Where'd you see him?

[Nick]

Oh. It was somewhere in Surrey, UK. Went with my daughter – who I don't think really likes him but came along for me - and we had huge traffic jams on the way and constant rain, sitting in the open. But he was great. Sang all his classics. Everyone stood up and sang with him when he did Suzanne. My daughter said it was great as we ploughed our way through a wet field to get back to the car. Love her.

[Patti (baconater)]

Oh that's brilliant Nick!

I saw him back home in Canada in a 'free concert in the park'.

I believe April Wine and The Who played at that concert as well.

Loved going to those free concerts. There was a couple every summer.

[Geoff (G. Robbins) (merda constat variat altitudo)]

Listening to God's Great Banana Skin, by Chris Rea. Wonderful guitar work.

[Simon (Highwayman)]

On Amazon at the moment, buy a set of headphones and get £2 to spend on MP3 downloads.


So, go and buy these :

http://www.amazon.co.uk/Ross-HP2B-RS-...

for 99p, free super saver delivery.

Get £2 for MP3 purchases.

Net result : You get £1.01 clear profit and a pair of (not very good) headphones.

How insane is that.

I have just bought a million pairs which makes me an MP3 millionaire. I can't get through the front door because it is jammed with amazon packages but hey ho!!!!!

Love Chris Rea.

[Alan]

Meyer: 1B, from "Appalachian Journey" with Yo -Yo Ma, Mark O'Connor and Edgar Meyer. Good way to kickstart the day.

[Nick]

Quite an old one. It was Parachute Woman by The Rolling Stones on the Beggar's Banquet album. I had my iPod on random play, and it came up. It's good when you get a surprise oldie like that. Shows my age!

[Geoff (G. Robbins) (merda constat variat altitudo)]

Oh, I love setting my iPod to random. If you set it for album as well you get some lovely selections.

Although I have a 160Gb iPod it seems to have a predilection for Pink Floyd even though it represents a small fraction of the whole.

[Nick]

Didn't know you could do that. I'll try later. Thanks. Oh, by the way, mine has the same Pink Floyd following. Must be all the tripping Floyd did!

[Geoff (G. Robbins) (merda constat variat altitudo)]

Or all the tripping Jobs did.

[Simon (Highwayman)]

Watching Kylie on her aphrodite tour.

[Simon (Highwayman)]

I might be about to have an Alison Krauss moment.

[Geoff (G. Robbins) (merda constat variat altitudo)]

After the mention of Emerson, Lake and Palmer on the Just Watched thread, I'm listening to their Works compilation this morning.

I know many people derided them as pretentious, but I find them very entertaining and accomplished. Without bands like ELP, Yes and others during the Progressive era of the 1970's, I would never have been introduced to the wonders of classical music and that would have been a tragedy.

[Patti (baconater)]

Dave is inflicting me with music from the thingy ATM.

Which is bad enough but he's also changing tracks mid song. ARGH

[Geoff (G. Robbins) (merda constat variat altitudo)]

I'm having a sublime Chris Thompson session this morning. I love this guy's voice.

If you've not heard of him, he was the major voice in Manfred Mann's Earthband, amongst many others.

[Simon (Highwayman)]

Ah.....
Pink Floyd - echoes is now blasting happily across the neighbouring school field and the biggleswade triangle and drum ensemble have retired for lemonade and therapy.

[Simon (Highwayman)]

Adele 21
Perfect antidote to the W word

[Stuart]

Richard Thompson - wonderful. But the new Bob Dylan album - Tempest - incredible!!

Here's a great verse-

Leo said to Cleo
I think I'm going mad
But he'd lost his mind already
Whatever mind he had

Madly in love with the whole album and with music and life. Come on!

[Simon (Highwayman)]

You have got me curious Stuart.

http://www.amazon.co.uk/Tempest/dp/B0...

Mp3 samples.

[Stuart]

Great! It certainly is a dark and dirty album full of death and mayhem, a 45 verse paen to the titanic and a beautiful song about the death of John Lennon. At 71, Bob Dylan just gets better. I'm all for ranking him up there with Shakespeare, William Blake, Baudelaire and Rimbaud!

[Simon (Highwayman)]

Savage Garden. Affirmation.

Sat in the living room, sun blazing through the windows. Enjoying a Solero.

[Patti (baconater)]

What's a solero?

[Grant]

Isn't it an ice lolly?!

The last song I listened to was The XX - Angels

[Nick]

Couple of oldies. Just heard American Pie on the radio when I was having some lunch, found I was singing along, so played Vincent when I got back to my laptop. Two great songs, lyrics a bit dated, but 'two old boys drinking whisky and rye,' still sounds pretty good.

[Grant]

Burial - Four walls, so atmospheric and relaxing. No matter what mood I am in it always appeals to me

[Andrew]

I tend to play one album for months at a time. Right from being a kid where I would carousel each of the Queen records I had.
These days I still love Queen, but have also spread my wings a little to include all manner of other groups, mostly rock and metal, including Ozzy, Def Leppard, Nickleback, Foo Fighters, Boston, Rainbow and Thin Lizzy; you get the idea.
My most recent obsession is Slash and his latest album Apocalyptic Love. Truly awesome if you're into guitar work.

[Simon (Highwayman)]

Oh thin lizzy.

I haven't listened to them for ages. Off to wake them up.

[Simon (Highwayman)]

Bad Reputation. Just waiting until "boys are back in town"... The fair people of biggleswade will be calling in the troops.

[Simon (Highwayman)]

Cowboy song. Such a great band.....

Thin lizzy.

[Tim]

Heroes - Bowie.

Watched The Perils of being a Wallflower at the flicks, and one of the memorable most scenes is played out to this song. So I just had to put on the CD when I got home...

[Geoff (G. Robbins) (merda constat variat altitudo)]

Listened to The Best of Joe Jackson yesterday. I notice that he was refreshingly naive about drugs as he refers to smoking LSD at one point. I'm advised that is not the way to ingest it. Honest.

Despite this, Joe Jackson was quite an underrated songwriter, in my opinion.

[Matthew]

Listening to Illinoise by Sufjan Stevens

[Simon (Highwayman)]

Listening to Anastasia.

I'm not sure.... I will give it a couple of tracks....

[Patti (baconater)]

Dave was playing some of his weird shit for our guests last night. Surprised they didn't run out the flat screaming.

[Simon (Highwayman)]

OK, I have got the hang of Anastasia. I am about to put my mp3 player on and a hoody. Then I am going to walk around Biggleswade High street with attitude.

Should be interesting!
