Today I am Listening To...

[Melrose]

Runrig - The Stamping Ground and Everything You See

The Summer Walkers from The Stamping Ground brought back good memories of Sutherland Audaxes, some lyrics below:

"And it's up by the Shin
And up by the Naver
And the long winding shores of Loch Maree
By Ben Hope and Ben Loyal
By Stack and by Arkle
The road reaches long now the summer is here"

I hope I can be back there soon, touring or doing the 300k again!

From Everything I see the Clash of the Ash is best.

Is anyone going to see Runrig at the Barrowlands next weekend? Or Scone next August?

I love their version of "funny how time slips away".

Mozart - Mass in C minor - conducted by Louis Langree

A real treat if you like French sopranos as it has Natalie Dessay and Veronique Gens. Mmmm lucious.

Last night, after a journey that took at least twice as long as usual for various reasons, I found myself walking up the hill to my home.  Well, dancing, actually, as I had Nina Simone followed by a bit of Aretha Franklin, then a dash of Blues Brothers...

[onb]

Joni Mitchell: Blue.

I never tire of this album.

+1 to that.

Soft Machine - Drop

A live recording from 1971 with the utterly manic Phil Howard on drums. Brilliant!

Don't have a TV, am just pathetic

The Doors - The Soft Parade: the difficult Doors album, much criticised but I like it and thats what counts!

It's actually the only Doors album I would really bother listening to any more. In adversity bands often create their best work, and this album with its ludicrous concept and Morrison's voice at its rawest is somehow more real and affecting than any of the more bombastic and pretentious stuff they did.

[rogerzilla]

I still think "The Doors" is the best 

Today I shall mostly be listening to...Victor Hely-Hutchinson's Carol Symphony.

This morning was Tchaikovsky & Sibelius.   A swift visit to Oxfam saw me leave with Mahlers 2nd Symphony & Vaughan-Williams 9th, both on mint vinyl.    Another visit to "Hairy Records" gained me a Coleman Hawkins compilation and Ben Webster live at The Monmartre Club, Copenhagen. This last is superb, but I didn't read the sleeve notes properly in the shop.  It's the last part of a 3 LP set, so I've now got to start looking for the other 2!

Currently listening to "Blue Saxophones", Ben Webster, Coleman Hawkins, Oscar Petersen, Herb Ellis, Ray Brown & Alvin Stoller.   I bought this for £1.99 in a charity shop a few years ago and it's now one of my favourites.  Absolutely beautiful music

Mykonos by Fleet Foxes (on Radcliffe/Maconie). Ab-so-bloody-lutely amazing.
