No worries, post it back when finished or pass it on to somebody else, there is a "lending library" on the forum http://yacf.co.uk/forum/index.php?board=29.0 and I've too many books for this tiny flat !

On Down the Road by Izzy Stradlin lovely and laid back and great to get slowly drunk to.

Detroit Social Club - Existence. A slice of atmospheric indie rock with echoes of Kasabian and Black Rebel Motorcycle Club...

EDIT: Now listening to Stephen Dale Petit's "Crave" - blues with a modern twist. Worth it for the cover of 2Pac's "California".  ;D

'Lost voices of Afghanistan' on Radio 4 just now. Jonathan Powell appealed to BBC World service listeners in Afghanistan for poems, and he was literally inundated with them.

There was one called 'If I was the Queen of the whole world'. I just stood there in the kitchen sobbing myself silly, it was such a beautiful and moving piece.

"Eden Rock", read by the man himself, Charles Causley.

Reading this out loud to myself, as I have often done, helped me get more out of this poem than listening to him.  It was still worth doing tho'.

He wrote it at the end of his life, but somehow in my head it is spoken by a younger man.

Meh.  Go figure.

Pink Floyd - Animals.

Gilmour's guitar soloing on "Dogs" is among his best.

Got to agree - I've tried for ages to replicate that tone but never managed to succeed (ditto for Simon Gallup's bass tone on the Disintegration-era Cure albums)

Mind you, you're not likely to Burnel his bass sounds like crap, are you? :)

Currently listening to "Diesel and Dust" by Midnight Oil ... again.

If you wrote me a song as beautiful as You're In My Heart (preferably not called I'm In Your Gob) I'd not only show you my tits, I'd let you have a go on them.

The R2 Gary Barlow 40th birthday concert. I was having a very long phone conversation earlier, so I recorded it. But the stupid digibox didn't record Corrie, so I've missed that.

Hawkwind, specifically the "Space Ritual" album.
Even more specifically I'm listening to it through the headphones I generally use for mixing/monitoring

Did start listening to Amorica by the Black Crows and realised why I don't listen to it very much, it's 'cos it's shit....

Tony Blackburn doing the 1989 chart countdown. He's just introduced Buffalo Stance by Neneh Cherry with "listen to the beginning of this, it's weird."  ::-)
