The Greig Cello Sonata on an LP that came from a charity shop and will be recycled to one. It's a piece that I can't remember ever hearing before and listening to it gave me the impression that Greig all sounds the same. That's based on the fact that there are common quotations from the piano concerto and the lyric suite, and also isn't really fair as Greig's a composer who's music I don't know very well.

Fats Waller, Jazz Piano Master.

Fats Waller's Original E Flat Blues at the moment. Wow.

Spotify's great sometimes.

ETA: I Just Wanna Hear Swing Songs! Lovely

The word I would have used if I could have remembered it, is swing. This stuff really swings, which is much much harder to do than it sounds, ISTR from my sax days.

Graceland, remastered.

Still a great album.

Every Kingdom by Ben Howard. Not sure what to make of it on first listen, but this song's nice. I like this video too.

After spending all day wrestling TJG and LC! mp3s onto my iPod I am now listening to Led Zeppelin, in a touch of musical serendipity....

I apologise to my neighbours in advance, 'cos it's getting turned right up

The Beatles Rooftop Concert.

A video of the full gig

Available where? Macca has said that Let It Be won't be available during his lifetime but I've never seen film of the whole performance in any case

21 by Adele.

Saw a clip of her singing Someone Like You and thought it was pleasant, if derivative, so bought the album to see what the fuss was about. Have to say I'm still nonplussed. One or two interesting arrangements but the songs themselves, apart from the aforementioned, are pretty mediocre. She has the potential to be a great singer but she sounds like a 20 year-old trying to sound 35 (a bit like the guy in The Commitments film, for those with long memories).

Maybe I'm missing something - in which case can someone tell me what it is, but it rather feels as though she is being lauded as the new Besse Smith when she's actually the new Joss Stone.

OK - I'll give it another go ...

Meanwhile, my Kraftwerk binge continues with Computer World.

Do not be hesitant about your opinion - you are right. She is better than most but it has to be said that "most" just aren't very good at the moment!
