Chopin by Paul Posnak.

Not my music but my g/f's CD. First time I listen to it and I find it hugely calming and relaxing. Nothing better to go with a nice cuppa (maybe)... lol. Anyway, not the "music to die to" (or "to kill to") that I thought it would be. Must remember to listen to more classical stuff definitely.

Next up, some Miles Davies from MY collection!...

Back to the old school, complete with ropey musicianship, shoddy production and juvenile lyrics........ Excellent.

`Everyone` by BJH sounds great on vinyl! Sorry to bother you Matthew but another quick question about your speaker cables - I see you`ve bought Chord but which ones may I ask?

Lightweight before bedtime: Nerina Pallot's 2006 album, Fires. The one with Everybody's Gone To War. OK, fairly lightweight...!

Had some Yes stuff on earlier - from The Word is Live 3-CD set. Nice mix of stuff; couple of good tracks from the Drama tour that rarely saw the light of day and were missed off the album.

My wife got me the remastered Born To Run boxset for Christmas and it's been living near the top of my listening pile ever since, until being deposed today by my newly arrived copy of Working On A Dream. Early impressions are favourable, I'm just not sure how favourable yet.

Oh, and Antony and the Johnson's The Crying Light has been very high on my playlist as well. It's not at all my sort of thing, yet surprisingly it gets to the end and you can't stop yourself from hitting repeat. It's not happy listening, but it's strangely compelling. It's a little like a merging of Nina Simone and Bryan Ferry, with a touch Mogadon and a huge dollop of resigned misery.

Born to Run boxset - picked it up for £8 at HMV last week! Bit of a bargain methinks

 

[Anonymous]

Just played Metallica S & M

Now playing Joe Bonamassa's Live from nowhere in particular - trying to get the wife interested - 'cos she agreed to go with me to see him at the Royal Albert Hall in May - don't think it's working though!!!!

Oh well I'll just have to put up with two days of sightseeing and touristy things in between, which is fair enough I suppose

'The Cream of Eric Clapton' on vinyl. Picked up for £2 today, given the Knosti Disco-Antistat treatment, and sounding great.

 

[matthewpiano]

'Once Again' by Barclay James Harvest on vinyl.

 

[Big Chris]

FFs 'pop' album.

Ive been listening to Sigur Ros' 'Agaetis Byrjun'. Absolutely stunning from beginning to end! Also 'Light and Magic' by Ladytron, lovely electronic pop and god rest his soul, John Martyn. 'I'd Rather Be The Devil' would be in my top 10 songs of all time. The live version on The Old Grey Whistle Test is absolutely superb! You can see it on youtube.

'Solid Air' (the album on CD) by the late John Martyn who sadly died today. One of the greatest albums ever made. Martyn was a superb musician and a great songwriter and with a legacy like his, he will never be forgotten.
