A good introduction to Paul Brady this one.

Only just discovered that the great Jackie Leven has passed away this week. A great character, who released tons of stuff over a 40 year career, always interesting, never dull, and fabulous live. I'll miss him greatly.

I'm playing this 1994 album, my favourite.

A video of Eva Cassidy performing "Autumn Leaves".

Beautiful.

Beautiful indeed.

For personal reasons this is the song of hers I find the hardest to listen too.

Matt Monro - `These Years`/`The Late,Late Show` 2 on 1 cd. The Singer`s Singer! If you get the chance have a listen to the superb arrangement of `Don`t Sleep In The Subway`. I`ve just looked and it`s on Spotify.

Arena - `Immortal` CD Not my favourite Arena album but it certainly has it`s moments. Looking forward to their new album released in a week or two.

I'm listening to some Bo Diddley. His musics full of life and brilliant.

God only knows, but I'm trying like mad to actually enjoy this, but it's just leaving me cold. I gather I must be in the minority on these and other boards, but I'm just not getting it I'm afraid.

"Heroes & Villains", "Good Vibrations" - bona fide classics. The rest of it, I don't think so.

It is only in stereo, but sounds excellent.

Coldplay - Mylo Xyloto

Dan Auerbach (Black Keys) - Keep It Hid

Great music - When The Night Comes is especially mighty.

And an excellent recording: fine separation and imaging; clear and natural vocals; powerfull low-end bass - and no compression.

There was a Dan Auerbach track on a Mojo magazine feebie a while ago, "Street Walkin'" which I thought at the time was pretty good. I must investigate further.

Meanwhile, headphones on this morning and getting in some fantastic huge progtastic riffs...

"Octopus" by Manchester band Amplifier.

Another interesting artist that I first heard on Radio Paradise. This time, a Swiss double bass player who produces some quite hypnotic instrumental sounds.

"Mystery Bay" by Mich Gerber.

Kate Bush - 50 Words for Snow

Fantastic, but don't listen if you're suffering from the glums...

Don't be so sure, there's quite a few PT fans ( plus Blackfield, No-Man, Steven Wilson solo etc.) on these boards.

Had a very pleasant afternoon yesterday listening/watching this one..

And this morning, whilst the rest of the household sleeps and I can't, on with the headphones..
