I see from the BBC that Etta James has popped her clogs so I'll listen to some of hers on the way home.

(goes home)

Sounds very similar to the sort of thing Tangerine Dream have been doing for years.

Definitely a lot of influence there - he tends to have a lot more going on rhythmically than TD though, and quite an aggressive edge that TD never really had.

I liked the middle eastern influenced beats that came in in the second half.

If you look out for him on Spotify or whatever, don't miss out on his earlier stuff under the name Chris Clark - he changed him name as there is a Chris Clark soul singer - but three good releases under that name as well - Clarence Park (one of the best), Ceramic Is The Bomb and Empty The Bones Of You. Good stuff all in all.

That Clark track is great - might have to check out the album if that's typical. For some reason I never got around to buying any Chris Clark, despite buying a lot of Warp Records stuff in the past.

Echoes.

David Gilmour live in Gdansk - must be one of those days

The Marshall Suite by The Fall. Fucking excellent. All things considered.

Damn you random play...
I've just been rickrolled by my own stereo!
Moved on to Al Green now, though.

Some Debussy and Ravel string quartets.

I never, ever thought I'd listen to country music but I can't get enough of this band at the moment.

It's definitely country, because someone shoots his dog in the middle of a field.

And how the bollix do you do that embedding stuff proply?!?!

An album or the latest single "Met Before"? See Reply #2700 for a link to listen again.

PaulF · « **Reply #2713 on:** 23 January, 2012, 11:04:59 am »

The album! And very good it is!

Biggsy · « **Reply #2714 on:** 23 January, 2012, 11:19:49 am »

The new one?! Is it out yet?

PaulF · « **Reply #2715 on:** 23 January, 2012, 11:23:35 am »

Released today, was on my iPhone shortly after midnight

Oh, I didn't realise the album was called "Something". I thought you were just listening to something (you didn't know) by Chairlift!

I don't think much of the name "Chairlift", by the way. Reminds me too much of a Stannah stairlift!

Stannah would be good. Stannah Tease even better?

dasmoth · « **Reply #2719 on:** 23 January, 2012, 09:21:59 pm »

Chairlift album is on the way

In the meantime: Heavenly vs. Satan. I've known Marine Research/Tender Trap for years, but only just found out about their earlier stuff.

Biggsy · « **Reply #2720 on:** 23 January, 2012, 10:26:21 pm »

John Peel used to play Heavenly a lot. Lovely.

Today I am listening to The Black Keys - Brothers.

I took my dad to the hospital in Sheffield yesterday, which gave me a chance to visit my favourite record shop, Record Collector on Fulwood Road in Broomhill.

Whilst there I purchased the above mentioned CD, El Camino by the same and Chris Cornell's Songbook.

I am looking forward to today.

tiermat · « **Reply #2722 on:** 24 January, 2012, 09:51:33 am »

Well Brothers was a mixed bag, some LOVELY songs, some not so.

Chris Cornell's Songbook though is outstanding! Acoustic versions of Soundgarden and Audioslave songs mixed with new stuff. "Wide Awake" is the stand out track so far, but I haven't finished the CD yet, it has just changed onto "Black Hole Sun"
