Barton Hollow - The Civil Wars

You heard it here first folks, these are gonna be big

So what are they like? Genre, references?

American Indie folk rock is probably the best description.

   YouTube
   - the civil wars

alt-country or Americana, I'd say... in that it combines old time with modern rock - interesting.

Ladysmith Black Mambazo - Old MacDonald Zulu Style on Don Letts 'Listen Again' (starts about 30min in).

Old MacDonald Had a Farm has never sounded so good

Earlier: Dylan Ettinger - New Age Outlaws - spacey, electronic with a slight edge. The track Crippler Crossface reminds me of early Cabaret Voltaire, which can't be bad...

Across The Plains ~ Little Miss Higgins

Anyone who can write a song called Bargain! Shop Panties must be doing something right.

Nazareth on Youtube. Marvellously raucous. Manny Charlton is an under-recognised genius.

So far tonight Kate Bush "Hounds of Love", The Christians "Colour" and now Simply Red "Picturebook"

Joan Osbourne

Spotted her on BBC4's Transatlantic Sessions and was reminded of her first (and, I think, only) UK gig back in 96 at the Borderline in London. Hers has been an interesting artistic journey.

Am also listening, courtesy of Michael at no 60, to Emily Portman. Now there's a songwriter to be reckoned with.

More Little Miss Higgins. She has a voice which gives me goosebumps and, according to some oaf from Radville SK, "a nice dumper". From the sound of it, Radville is high on my list of places not to visit.

Until Wednesday I'd never heard of her, but Across The Plains was on repeat before and after Ben Weaver's set on Tuesday night, so I cranked up my Google-Fu...

Bartok, Concerto for Orchestra, Pierre Boulez, New York Philharmonic.

I hit the local Oxfam earlier and came away with a dozen LP's, Midnight Oil, Genesis, Oscar Peterson, Glenn Gould playing Bach, Isaac Stern & Lionel Rose playing the Brahms Double Concerto .... having a pleasant evening in

Adele - 19

I love most of the tracks, but can only listen to her in small doses. She sounds like she's shouting after a while.

However, this feels like a 'just been dumped' set of songs, so the shouting may be entirely appropriate.

I think 'Don't You Remember' is just a gorgeous country song.

"I know I have a fickle heart
And a bitterness
And a wandering eye
And a heaviness in my head ..."

Lovely.

Do you mean Adele - 21? The new one?

Working my way though a box set of Vaughn Williams symphonies....
