Like Matt I listen to those albums that are meant to be listened to as a whole, as a whole (Operation: Mindcrime spring immediately to mind), but the rest of the time I have my iPod on random and just listen to whatever jumps into the queue. Most times this works, sometimes it doesn't.

New Model Army, specifically 'Thunder and Consolation' (which I often find difficult to listen to for purely personal reasons) and 'Impurity' (a crowning moment of musical awesome)

In addition, both of these albums feature Ed Alleyne-Johnson, who can often be found busking in York (and is, by himself, a pretty awesome musician)

I remember doing the lighting for a New Model Army gig back in the 80s. It was quite scary. Mainly because the building was full of NMA fans, who didn't tend towards the conservatively dressed wallflower type, and the band had got held up with a delayed ferry from Ireland. No-one was looking forward to telling them it was cancelled, and with no things like mobile phones we had no idea how the band were getting on after a call from a payphone to tell us they'd finally arrived on the mainland - albeit Liverpool, a couple of hours drive on a good day.

Luckily the band arrived only about 30 minutes after they were due on stage (about 7 hours later than they were supposed to have arrived), and went straight on with only a cursory soundcheck.

Maria McKee's "You Gotta Sin To Get Saved" on vinyl. Her finest post-Lone Justice album for sure. I believe her backing band was practically the Jayhawks at this time. This, along with Uncle Tupelo is what got me into the whole alt-country thing.

CORRECT!

Some might consider that cheating. (Be glad I went for something using the Latin alphabet!) Next challenge will be to find something in English...

Trawling through my collections I've rediscovered this gem, a Serbian folk tune done klezmer stylee.

Andrij, That will be the real challenge!

The way tonight is going, doubt I'll make any serious attempts. But the challenge will not be forgotten!

ATM, losing myself in red wine and Ukrainian music. Don't expect I'll get anything else constructive done this evening.

As I am in the office, and have forgotten to update my iPod, I am once again on a mix.

So far today I have had:
Asian Dub foundation - Buzzin'
The Cowboy Junkies (dunno which one, I don't know enough of their stuff yet to say "That track")
Pantera - Walk
Chris Cornell - Doesn't Remind Me

The two Om albums ('Advaitic Songs' and 'God is Good') that arrived this morning courtesy of a certain tax-dodging, river-themed Internet emporium.

The more I listen to them the more I want to sell a relative (or two) and get myself a Rickenbacker bass and a metric fuck-ton of effects pedals.

The two extremes of the new MBV album:

Coincidentally (because I've reached 'M' in my ripping to Flac marathon)...more stuff from Ukraine albeit post-rock/experimental rather than traditional:

The Moglass - Уходящие Вдаль Телеграфные Столобы Становятся Всё Меньше И Меньше (which apparently translates to something like 'telegraph poles are getting smaller and smaller as the distance grows').

Plus the two Eat Lights Become Lights albums and finally an amazing track/video from Gnod:

Will have to explore the new MBV album - I was a bit unsure of the one track I've heard so far but think it'll be a grower

Hmm, must look for the other Eat Lights Become Lights album...

Just heard Exits by L Pierre on Gid Coe. Must investigate further....

MBV

It's not Loveless, it shouldn't have taken 20 years to make, but it's still very very good.
