One of the joys of living in Harlesden in the 70's was walking along the high road past a string of record shops pumping out reggae, dub, lovers rock...

Everyhing was ire. Of course, I was too young to appreciate it then, yeah man.

Beethoven 7th symphony. Picked up all 9 for a bargain £11 in a EMI classics boxed set on Amazon. It's the Karajan mono set from the 50s but excellent still.

Anyone got the 70s cycle on Deutsche Gramophone and like it ? I am thinking about getting it to contrast with this one.

Sometimes when my i-pod is on 'shuffle', it will play the first track 'In The Beginning'. When the track takes me by surprise, the hairs on the back of my neck stand on end. I love it.

Thanks for the link - 'lack of jurisdiction', heh.

Memories are made of this...

"Ain't no doubt about
We were doubly blessed
We were barely seventeen
And we were barely dressed..."

Christ, I hate being old. Especially on Saturday nights...

The best electronica album I've heard in ages:

Senking - Pong

Very atmospheric, a bit like Murcof's Martes meets slowed down dubstep. And a tribute to the classic video game of the same name to boot.

Sounds fantastic on headphones.

Video for

<a href="http://www.youtube.com/v/ZToyrr4ckEg&rel=1" target="_blank">http://www.youtube.com/v/ZToyrr4ckEg&rel=1</a>, probably my fave track off the album.

WARNING: video contains violent images, with lots of spurting blood, towards the end (from kung-fu/horror/Python film samples), although one might argue they're 'just flesh wounds'...

The knife-fetishists out there might like to play along to the images accompanying the drum beat

The Age of Adz, by Sufjan Stevens. Not sure what I think of this yet. Seems a bit lacking in something, which he's tried to cover with a lot of retro electronica, which makes a some it sound like Yellow Magic Orchestra (and not necessarily in a good way).

Plus Wake Up! by The Roots and John Legend. Love sixties and seventies black protest music, love The Roots, never thought much of John Legend - but this is really quite good.

The Orb and David Gilmour. On first listening I rather like it.

Cowgirl In The Sand ~ Neil Young & Crazy Horse.

This has been the Earworm of No-Choice for about a fortnight. I thought that by actually listening to it, it would go away.

I was this: wrong

A very old & eclectic playlist I created on Spotify a couple of years ago and forgot about.

And [drum roll] Half Man Half Biscuit are on Spotify now[/drum roll]

Write About Love by Belle and Sebastian. Forgetable. Their last one was far, far better.

Blondie - Parallel Lines

How come nothing written this decade has an intro like Hangin On the Telephone? It's not rocket-science - just some drums, a guitar and timing. Possibly perfect.

Everlong - Foo Fighters. Their best track IMO. Worth digging up the video on YouTube.
