Today I am Listening To...

[LindaG]

Diamond Mine by King Creosote and Tom Hopkins. It's great.

[Jacomus]

Moved on to Scar Symmetry: The Unseen Empire

Now listening to As I Lay Dying: Decas

[tiermat]

Korn - The Path of Totality

Their album recorded with a number of Dub-Step artists such as Skrillex, Noisia and Excision.  Proving that they can easily move across gendres.

Rock and Dub-Step sounds like it shouldn't work, but it does!

That sounds like a pretty good combo to me, I must check it out.

I've abandoned As I Lay Dying, it is a bit too driving for my current mood. Gone back to Scar Symmetry: Holographic Universe

[Jacomus]

Scratch that, I've taken your recommendation, Tiermat.

It's far too long since I last listened to Korn and, damn, I need a better bass range!

Yes, that album NEEDS to be played LOUD and with LOTS of bass.

My laptop doesn't cut it, it sounds flat.  Maybe time to sit in the car and crank it out

I'm listening through a pair of mid-range Sony over ear headphones. Unfortunately, whilst their tonal range is really good, they can't produce the required bass at a low volume that I'm happy to listen at.

[microphonie]

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

It's called Autopia & on first listen isn't as good as Heavy Electrics. They've already recorded the follow-up to HE - Modular Living - & is "coming soon-ish", apparently

[tiermat]

Not an attempt to out-do Andrij (I would never do that, honest   ), today I am listening to Ojos De Brujo - Corriente.

Flamenco pop, for the win

ETA: Depending on whether you go for Catalan or Castillian, the band's name means Eyes of the Warlock or Eyes of the Magician, respectively.  The band is from Barcelona...

[simonp]

Catgroove by Parov Stelar

I don't know why. Chambermaid Swing has already become an annoying earworm. Fixing it with more of the same may be a mistake.

[marcusjb]

MBV

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

OK

It's on heavy rotation here.

Bloody hell it's good.  Really really good.

[tiermat]

Ojos De Brujo, again.

Seems appropriate as I day dream of touring in Catalonia, whilst I am sat in the sun here today.

[Biggsy]

Re MBV:

OK

It's on heavy rotation here.

Bloody hell it's good.  Really really good.

+1

I ordered the vinyl and CD as well as the top-quality download.  I don't really know why.

I have really hardly listened to anything else this week - sucks you right in and blows you apart. 

Quite some piece of work.

[Deano]

A Complete Introduction to Northern Soul, borrowed from the local library.

I also borrowed The Best of Show of Hands.

Six CDs altogether - for £1.

[MattH]

Phantom of the Opera.

I may have pushed the volume control up a little and tapped my feet in time with the music whilst this was on.

[Andrij]

The sounds of my co-workers working late (as am I).

[Bledlow]

Mrs B playing a Benjamin Britten CD, starting with The Young Persons Guide to the Orchestra.

She'd never heard of Britten until a few minutes ago, but she's played this CD several times recently.

Hmm. Centenary of his birth this year. I suppose there will be Events, certainly at Snape.

[Biggsy]

Even As We Speak - 1993 Peel session.

[Ham]

Ojos De Brujo

I wonder who is to blame for that?

They are rather good.

I couldn't possibly comment

[jogler]

The Crystals
The Shangrilas
The Ronnettes
The Shirelles

...but will you love me tomorrow?   

[jogler]

I'm afraid I've been been untrue to you Eck.I've promised myself to Cindy Birdsong.

[jogler]

The Supremes
