Rapid Eye Movement by Riverside.

Excellent if you are an old codger like me who likes Prog Rock.

Talking of prog, some of you may remember my rant about Rush here... having moved to Canada, I have discovered that saying anything bad about Rush is rather like attacking Jesus. Clearly there are many virtues to Canada, but musical taste is not among them: I give you also Celine Dion, Shania Twain, Bryan Adams, Avril Lavigne, Nickelback... the list goes on.

And Joni Mitchell of course, and more recently Arcade Fire, and Broken Social Scene - and actually there is a a very interesting genuinely independent scene, largely alt-folk stuff. It's not all bad!

Johnnie Walker's Sounds of the 70s on R2 and I am laughing my arse off because he just played the Kursaal Flyers and I had forgotten how brilliant it is to rhyme laundry with quandary and urgent with detergent.

Uncut 150 - 15 Various artists.

I only have CDs by 9 out the 15, so I am not sure whether this is a 'pass' or a 'fail'

Some stuff I bought off iTunes last night after being reminded of it on the radio over the last week.

Gladys Knight and The Pips - Midnight Train to Georgia

Held up as one of teh best examples of teh art of backing singing ever on a Radio 4 program the othjer day about backing singing and you know I think they were right.

Gladys Knight and The Pips - The Look of Love

Just because I love this song.

Laura Nyo - Emmie
Laura Nyo - December's Boudouir

I had never heard of her until Barry Manilow picked Emmie for one of his desert Island disks.

Trijntje Oosterhuis - The Look of Love

Dutch pop / jazz singer. Found this as a link from the Gladys Knight version of this song. Lovely smoky voice. I still think my favourite version is Dianna Krall's version from "One Night in Paris" which incidentally is one of the best recorded live albums I have ever heard.

Tenacious D - Tribute and Wonderboy. Triffic stuff. Kyle and Jack are quite talented, really!

next
