This afternoon I have been listening to some Palestrina masses - it's like having your mind flossed!

Oh yes. Wonderful noise.

Are you me?!

You might be. We're never seen in the same room together, am I.

Tracy Chapman, for the first time in years. Isn't it funny when you realise that you can still remember all the words....

Got the blu-ray, haven't got round to watching it all yet but the bit I did see looked fab. The Reading DVD brought back a lot of happy memories...

Nope, I just don't get nirvana. They're just a pile of meh.

Kaiser Chiefs, Ruby, and Barry Manilow, Copacabana.

SmallestCub's choice of breakfast music. Because his very best friend at school is Ruby, and his very best friend at nursery was Lola.

Florence & the Machine - Ceremonials.

I can find her voice a bit waily sometimes; but I'm enjoying this. Doubly in fact - as Ubuntu Rhythmbox seems to be listing every track twice

April - Sun Kil Moon

I love this

I've never 'met' anyone else who likes Sun Kil Moon before

Downloaded this on the basis that Lindagordinho and Juan Martín seem to like similar stuff to me. It really is rather good.

In a spirit of reciprocation and in the style of "people who bought x also bought y" Songs:Ohai and Great Lake Swimmers are in a similar vein

Ladytron - Gravity The Seducer for about 10 min until the battery ran out on my Sansa Clip

Bit underwhelmed with this album so far anyway...

Yesterday was eMusic subscription renewal day so listening for the month ahead is:

The Advisory Circle - Mind How You Go
Gnod/White Hills - Gnod Drop Out With White Hills II
K-X-P - Easy ep
Rapoon & Black Faction - New Cult of the Sun Moon
Regis - In A Syrian Tongue
Walls - Coracle

Also, I might even have a listen to the 3 Mike Harding albums I downloaded for my dad, who's seeing him tonight in Doncaster on his last ever tour.

Watched Tuesday's edition of Imagine on iPlayer last night. Simon & Garfunkel in general and the Bridge Over Troubled Water LP in particular. Ironically, the title track is about the only one which grates a bit - the massive finale is a bit too Jim Steinman for my ears. It's on iPlayer for another seven weeks, give or take, and is excellent.

Anything I can by Adam Ant/Adam & the Ants, as I'm off to see him play in Oxford tomorrow evening, woo hoo.

My first gig was Adam & the Ants... No pressure for it to be a good gig then or anything....

I Can Dancing and Walking: Things in Herds

Sometimes folky, sometimes synthy, sometimes rocky, sometimes simultaneously. Odd Stuff but good.

The Jesus and Mary Chain - Darklands album. Superb, except for the drum machine or drumming that sounds like a drum machine. I don't always dislike drum machines (eg Cocteau Twins), but gotta have a compatible sort of drum sound for the rest of the music.

Roadrunner - Once and Twice. Modern Lovers.

And I'm back, ton ten in the pouring rain, bottle of whisky, midnight, M62, 35 years ago. Bad.

There was an absolutely splendid piece on R3's "Sunday Morning" programme today - Variations on "Lambeth Walk" by Franz Reisenstein. He had written each of the variations in the style of a different composer and they had me laughing out loud.

If you want to search on "Listen again" it must have been on at about 9.30 or 9.45.

http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b017cgd9 refers.

Possibly my favourite band of this week - their new single Allergies is great - the marvellously bonkers The Lovely Eggs

<a href="http://www.youtube.com/v/2uuMy2ZN7A8&rel=1" target="_blank">http://www.youtube.com/v/2uuMy2ZN7A8&rel=1</a> - starring John Shuttleworth as The Man With The Sausage Roll Thumb

Nice use of a rotating bike wheel as an instrument

Not sure about the sentiments in this song though:

Nice to hear a singer's regional accent in full effect too
