Ah, wonderful.

We generally play that one and Buena at gigs.

Just been listening to Gary Numan - Replicas. I haven't heard this album for about 28 years, but I could still remember a lot of the words. I wish my memory was good for something useful though.

Howard Jones - New Song, because that's what Jeremy Vine is playing in his "I have to play a song that's sort of the same sort of theme as what I've just been pontificating about" way. I'm chair-dancing. Later on I will either be listening to ABBA or the Beach Boys - I haven't decided yet.

Rush - 2112, and right now, a Def Leppard greatest hits compliation.

From the sublime to the faintly cheesy but rather enjoyable.

Mind you, it was hair metal and radical garage rock last night c/o Skid Row and the MC5...

Currently listening to bits of Beatles on Youtube.

The White Album really was a rather good album, though Butterfly feels that 'Wild Honey Pie' and 'Why Don't We Do It In The Road?' could have done with a few more lyrics

My listening for the next few days will be the new albums by the mighty Mogwai, The Aliens, Fujiya and Miyagi, and James Yorkston. Luckily the Travis album that my wife wanted was not in stock yet!

A Johnny Cash compilation. After all the boom-chicka-boom-chicka-boom stuff, there are some of his famous cover versions. "Hurt" is well-known, but his version of U2's "One" is my favourite.

Biffy Clyro - Puzzle, just on "Now I'm Everyone"

FANTASTIC...

YouTube - James Yuill - This Sweet Love

I'm liking this folktronic stuff these days.

Mind you, I was liking Metallica a lot last weekend. Such is life

The Fujiya & Miyagi one is pretty decent, although I think the overall quality has reduced with each of the 3 albums released so far (the track 'Rot' on the MySpace link is from the first album). Then again, maybe that's just 'cos I'm more familiar with the spoken vocal & lyrical style now & it doesn't appear so fresh now rather than there being any real quality drop $:-\$

Or maybe I'm just being supercool/pretentious in an 'I saw them first' style

Just listening to Rob da Bank from 22/09 with Mogwai in session too

I am underwhelmed to be honest. The new album is pleasant and undemanding enough but it is like listening to a bloodless imitation of Can (not Kraftwerk as everyone always says). It also reminds that a few years ago there was a British band called Appliance who did this kind of thing with so much more dynamism. I miss Appliance.

rogerzilla · « **Reply #293 on:** 04 October, 2008, 01:42:04 pm »

Ahem.

"More ABBA Gold".

There are some classics on there I'd forgotten, like "The Day Before You Came". And Agnetha is pretty hot in the sleeve photos

Ah! I keep seeing Appliance cds in my local s/h shop and have never given them a try. So a recommendation is good

Currently listening to Sinead O'Connor, "Am I Not Your Girl". Her album of jazz / torch covers. A lovely voice.

Last night I spent a very pleasant 2 hours listening to Joe Stilgoe (Richard's son) at the Rodewald Suite in Liverpool. He's a excellent pianist and played a mix of his own songs and old favourites. I enjoyed it so much I bought the CD he was selling. :: JOE STILGOE ::

All three of their albums are good, but it's their first one, Manual, that I go back to more often. In some ways it is their most naive, where they wear their influences most on their sleeves, but the krautrock, analogue warmth is lovely.

The of course there is Stereolab... but I am sure no-one needs telling how good they are.

More Metallica yesterday. This latest album is good. It even got Baby G's vote.

Squarepusher - Ultravisitor. This sort of broken electronica suits overcast days.

My boss has got me into Alabama 3. Amazing. A mix of country rap drum and bass. Amazing. And from Scotland too !!
