[Maureen (Mews)]

James Taylor - Fire and Rain

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

Now listening to Ba Tay - Youssou N'dour

Went via System of a Down.

Nice choice Mews. Always liked James Taylor.

[Patti (baconater)]

Cool Geoff! We saw Youssou N'Dour live in Uganda!

James Taylor is magic.

Wow, that must be wonderful Patti!

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

Now listening to the Birthday Party by the Idle Race. Jeff Lynne's early days.

[Patti (baconater)]

Funny story goes with that, actually...

As you know, nothing ever starts on time in Africa. Dave, a couple of friends and I arrived at the "venue"...thats a funny story in itself...when it was supposed to start and wandered around, had a couple beers, etc. Heard music but reckoned it was the was the warm up band. All of a sudden heard amazing drumming happening so rushed inside. Was Youssou playing. We caught the last 20 minutes of his set. We felt like pillocks.

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

Oh No! What a shame.

[Patti (baconater)]

There was an amazing Bob Marley tribute band there as well. Saw them more than a few times. Ugandan band called Blood Brothers. No idea if they've recorded anything...

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

I've now moved on to Mister Heartbreak by Laurie Anderson.

[willie]

Coool... i saw her play in Manch a few years ago. twas fab.

:0)

[Patti (baconater)]

Dave's just set up his new component. I cant hear any difference...

He's playing Help Yourself

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

I love her work. I think it's because of her artistic background that every time she brings out a new work it challenges me. I use to feel that way about Yes, but they have lost it a bit, of late.

[Patti (baconater)]

You mean there's new Yes???

I dont think any of Dave's Yes albums are post 1970..

[Patti (baconater)]

He's just got all huffy. Told me to tell you he's got Tales of Topographic Ocean which must be at least 1974.

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

Patti (P E) wrote: "He's just got all huffy. Told me to tell you he's got Tales of Topographic Ocean which must be at least 1974."

I think you'll find that it's earlier than that Patti. More likely 1971 0r 1972.

The latest album - Fly from Here has just come out. It seems to be a reforming of the Yes band that made Drama, which many Yes fans derided, but I thought was very good and produced the excellent single I am a Camera.

[Patti (baconater)]

He's sure Topographic Oceans is later than that. LOL He's gone to look at the cd as I won't hand over the laptop.
Hey. Ive given him my second kindle! What more does he want?
He's says it was first issued 1/9/74.

[Simon (Highwayman)]

Dreaming Blondie.

[Patti (baconater)]

Yeah, yeah, Simon. Thanks for sharing your wee fantasy. But what are you listening to?

[Simon (Highwayman)]

Having some quality time with Debbie. Shayla now. Great voice.

[Patti (baconater)]

I got two Adele albums over the holiday. 19 and 21. must get them loaded onto the ipod so I can listen to them!

[willie]

never been much for girl singers at all really, just Joni`s Hejira.

:0)

[Patti (baconater)]

C'mon Willie! Janis Joplin? Maggie Belle? Elkie Brookes?

[Patti (baconater)]

June Tabor???

[Simon (Highwayman)]

Suzi Quatro.


Time for a cold shower I think.

[Patti (baconater)]

Dave says "Chrissie Hynde"

[Simon (Highwayman)]

Chrissie. Love her. Note to self - dig out Pretenders.

[willie]

...i quite liked Beyonce`s `single lady`

I love The Hissing of Summer Lawns. What a great album and what a title. Patti would appreciate it. ;-)

[Patti (baconater)]

Joni Mitchell. Great album. Excuse me a moment while I chase a spider with a can of poison. I have the poison. Not the spider. Of grief you know what I mean.
nevermind it ran under the couch. hard to type while stood on a couch. I need a drink. Someone hand me the rum.

[Gingerlily - The Full Wild]

Here you are - extra large bottle!

[Patti (baconater)]

My knight in tarnished armour vanquished it. Squished it actually. Men are good for two things. Opening jars is the other one.

[Gingerlily - The Full Wild]

Get him to join us - he's contributing as much as you are!

[Patti (baconater)]

He should, Gingerlily!

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

I'm currently listening to Camel's 2002 album A Nod and a Wink. Beautiful music. Simple Pleasures is a fabulous track.

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

Here are the lyrics for Simple Pleasures:

When she left the room
her perfume filled the air.
Thirty years gone
it's still there.

How I love to breathe
the air she left behind.
This trick of fortune
fills my mind.

Simple pleasures,
silver treasures.
Take me far, far away...

Faded roses on
a table set for two.
An open window
shares my view.

Out among the fields,
breezes dance and play.
Tender mercies
soothe my day.

Simple pleasures,
silver treasures,
Take me far, far away...

Whilst I love musical composition, I can be entranced by lyrics like this.

[Patti (baconater)]

Lovely, Geoff

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

Off to my usual start - Electric Teepee - Hawkwind.

Kind of inevitable really. My iPod was born in the wrong era it seems.

[Patti (baconater)]

Same batch as Dave's, Geoff.

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

Listening to Sting's Nothing Like the Sun. Slowly, very slowly, moving forward in time.

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

Wow, that was quick. Now listening to Ry Cooder - My Name is Buddy. Excellent!

[Simon (Highwayman)]

Well this is absolutely not to my taste but it is the last thing I listened to :

Playing in the Shadows



But what I did think is that some people might be interested in this : MP3 Album of the week Newsletter

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

Clever little iPod. It couldn't wait to play A Kind of Magic for me today, by Queen of course.

It's not its fault that it couldn't play it yesterday, I didn't listen to enough music.

[Patti (baconater)]

How's the new kit? Installed yet?

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

Patti (P E) wrote: "How's the new kit? Installed yet?"

He's just nailing my car back together. Can't get used to having the glove box on the back seat.

[Patti (baconater)]

May as well be in the back seat. It's been on the wrong side of the car up til now.

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

LOL. It drives better than I do anyway. All done now and it does sound gooooooood. Got a pen drive with tracks on, it shows the track artist etc on screen. I can search or browse by artist, track, album etc. When I use the iPod it tells me I'm on page 114 of the index.

Listening to In Search of the Lost Chord by The Moody Blues.

[Ian]

Been away and not surprised to see that the needle remains stuck in the mid to late 1900's

[Patti (baconater)]

Welcome back Ian!

I was listening to Adele earlier. So there!

[Ian]

Thanks Patti - as the needle was stuck I'm now listening to Echoes - Pink Floyd
