The Decemberists' latest album The Hazards of Love streamed from their web site. Excellent as ever if a bit more rocky than previous albums. Stand out track so far is The Wanting Comes In Waves/Repaid.

Oh heck they are only streaming three tracks. I am going to have to put the CD on my Christmas list.

I've hit the random button on the Squeezebox. Sometimes it just comes up with the most sublime selections that hang together beautifully by chance....

Just had: Sail on by Free, Area 51 by Eat Static, followed by the Howard Marks bit off the soundtrack of Human Traffic, then a bit of Return Forever

I am listening to a couple of CDs lent to me by a friend: a Montreal band called Plants and Animals and one by the cult group Neutral Milk Hotel, who I have somehow managed to avoid ever hearing before.

That reminds me: I must dig out my Olivia Tremor Control cd - I believe they had some NMH connection.

I've also realised my eMusic subscription has just renewed so I'm off in search of 75 more tracks to d/l, including these albums:

2562 - Unbalance
Biosphere - Dropsonde
Helen Love - Bubblegum Killers e.p.
Pentatonik - A Thousand Paper Cranes
v/a - Below The Radar: The Best of Wordsound Dub

The Best of Herb Alpert. I'm not sure if this is terribly naff or terribly sophisticated.

You'll be listening to Al Stewart next

After playing 'Rumours' to death, I bought 'Fleetwood Mac' yesterday and I've had three play throughs today. Doesn't seem that good so far but perhaps it's a slow-burner...

Speaking of Radio 4- 'Bleak Expectations' is rather good

Gemma Hayes - 'Night On My Side'.

kyuss · « **Reply #939 on:** 24 November, 2009, 01:18:11 am »

Oh, and Ryan Adams - 'Heartbreaker' and 'Demolition'.

Taj Mahal and Toumani Diabate - Kulanjan. Real musicians with real spirit and empathy exploring new (but actually, ancient) ground. Wonderful.

Dhafer Youssef Electric Sufi. A beautiful recording.

Damn, that looks like just the kind of thing I love. And Doug Wimbish is on it too. I must get it... thanks!

Bob Dylan - Hard Rain. Love the versions of "Shelter from the Sky" and "Idiot Wind" from this.
Fever Ray - Fever Ray.

Joe Bonamassa (all the albums on Spotify)

He says he grew up listening to British rock and blues bands such as Free, Bad Company, Eric Clapton and so on. It shows.

George Thoroughgood & the Destroyers :Bad to the Bone
& then
Mr. Thoroughgood & his mob : Who Do You Love
& then it will be a dollop of Z.Z.Top
followed by some early Fleetwood Mac.

Sadly The Publishers have insisted that the audio be removed from the YouTube link of the video.

Their album 1000 Years of Trouble is still one of my all time faves. The lyrics are even still relevant today (what with financial meltdown & US invading places)

TACKHEAD!!!!!

I'd forgotten all about them!

The Youssef album is my favourite of his. Best listened to on a decent system on a winters night with the curtains drawn and a whisky in your hand.
