What are you listening to?

[matthewpiano]

After a long, but good, day at work I settled down to a mug of coffee and the incomparable violinist Jascha Heifetz playing:

Bach Chaconne
Brahms Violin Concerto
Tchaikovsky Violin Concerto.

[matthewpiano]

Claudio Arrau playing Grieg's Piano Concerto with the Royal Concertgebuow. One of the most wonderful, communicative and elegant pianists of all and one of the first CDs I ever purchased some 15 years ago. Still one of my favourites now.

Big Chris:Today it's been 'Level 42 - greatest hits' (Can't find a pic)

'Leaving Me Now' is a great song and my favourite of theirs, I think they lost their way after the Gould brothers left.

Seriously Chris? Wouldn't have put you down as a Level 42 fan.

Liked them a lot at the time but haven't listened to them for years - the Goulds were indeed very skillful, as demonstrated on their live album.

Mastodon were great the other night by the way - even without Bill on guitar.

 

[matthewpiano]

Loads of vinyl:

Octoberon (BJH)
Tempted and Tried (Steeleye Span)
Fire, Fleet and Candlelight (Buffy Saint-Marie)
Not Til Tomorrow (Ralph McTell)
Commoner's Crown (Steeleye Span)

Bathing in a warm analogue glow after a busy weekend at work.

I guess it's a nostalgia thing, although I do like the music. I also like Adam & the Ants, Bowie, Roxy Music and other non hard rock/metal stuff.....Doesn't get an airing often, but it's nice to break it out now and again.

;-)

Glad Mastodon rocked, why wasn't Bill playing?

He's in hospital in the states with an unspecified illness. Will definitely go see them when they're a four piece again. The support band was Fiend Without a Face - three guys with fez hats and nets over their faces - playing only what I can describe as Egyptian Surf Metal - weird but highly skillful. The joke turns out that it was Mastodon with masks supporting themselves - a highly entertaining gig.

I would have thought Brann's polka dot drum kit would have been a dead give-away.

Great day today. Dad came round to hear my new system for the first time and we've listened to Strawbs, Dvorak, Ella Fitzgerald, Wagner, Magna Carta, Black **** Mills Brass Band, Mary Black, Mendelssohn, Fairport Convention, Oscar Peterson.... A veritable festival of music!

Only if you knew that was his kit - he's some drummer, the best I've seen recently, and that includes Billy Cobham and Damon Che within the last month.

Agreed. He's class on the Mastodon stuff, but the first album I heard him playing on was 'In The Eyes Of God' by 'Today Is The Day' (Bill plays bass on this too). His drumming on this album is spectacular. Much better than his (admittedly great) Mastodon stuff.

Apart from the usual Tangerine dream ive just got into Kings of Leon in a big way and im really enjoying there stuff.

what i would also enjoy is stuffed mushrooms with onion, parma ham (end of leg), garlic butter and mozzarella,

Washed down with a nice red.

What i did make today was a home made pasta sauce today with the amazing magic bullet

http://www.buythebullet.com/

I used tomatoes ,garlic, fresh basil , yellow peppers , oregano, parmasan cheese, onion and a hint of chilli.

All this whilst listening to The kings of leon.

I love cooking whilst listening to music loud and quaffing red wine.
Im looking forward to recieving a Denon Dm37 Dab to replace my old dixons seperates that has never really done it for me.

There's a lot to be said for good food, good music and a good red. Almost unbeatable as a leisure activity...almost

Fantastic track that. Must dig out the Evlis Costello CDs and listen to them again. Not done so in ages.

Listening to ***** Chateau by Elton John here. One of his best albums.

Pat Benetar - Crimes Of Passion (vinyl)

The much under-rated Martin Stephenson & The Daintees - Gladsome, Humour & Blue.

Nothing quite like a CD-ripping project to re-acquaint yourself with the gems in your music collection.
