Unfortunately, no. I rarely get chance to listen to the radio, and when I do it is usually as I am cooking, so don't actually get chance to follow what is happening

I was really surprised, though, reading up on his recent history, to find he had suffered from a double haemorrhage and lost the ability to speak. Apparently, in his rehab, he found it easier to sing than speak.

As usual, I am listening to Radmac. I was developing a tendency to look back fondly at acid house music as an artform which I did not understand at the time, but could grow on me. Fortunately, the dross they have been playing has cured me of this tendency.

Edwyn does still have a lot of speech problems, but can be lucid for a decent length of time to manage an interview. Despite a few trips, he got through the discussion, but struggled when they were talking about the track he'd selected, and the woman from his band who was with him had to help him through. Painful to listen to, as it must be so frustrating for such a witty and erudite person being trapped by his own inability to communicate.

Ah, that's much better - straight back from some crud called Washing Machine by Mr Fingers into Ever Fallen In Love? by Buzzcocks.

My MBV vinyl has arrived. Hmmm, shall I play it, sniff it, or sell it? (Already got the double-CD-quality digital. Already sold the CD).

Well, I'm not really listening to it yet but courtesy of this post http://yacf.co.uk/forum/index.php?topic=38032.msg1429590#msg1429590

I followed to Patax here

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nuztNpi2tns

and bought it here http://www.youkalimusic.com/index.php/es/catalogo/133-patax-live-from-infinity now I can't wait for it to arrive.

If you like real Flamenco and real music, a sort of fusion between classic flamenco and Chick Corea this is effing fantastic stuff I can't recommend it highly enough. The CD/DVD is 16 Euro including shipping paid by Paypal. (the "buy" page lets you listen to more

Deershed prep, redux, thusly:

AlasCa - definitely growing on me
Smoove and Turrell - very very good, can see us sat in a field, drinking beer, the sunshining, talking rubbish whilst these guys play their little hearts out.
Moulettes - I normally shy away from folk, or folk tinged, music, but these guys remind me, in some small way, of bands like The Levellers (sans clogs and attitude) and the ilk, mixing, as they do, folk and other gendres.
Public Service Broadcasting - seem to becoming a forum favourite, is it because they are bonkers? On paper their style is. Take old newsreels, sample them and play guitar and keyboard riffs over the top. Doesn't sound that good, does it? Somehow, though, it just works. Admittedly they work better if you have the video on too.

Did someone mention PSB?

Once, there was a mountain called Peak 15. Nothing was known about it...

Thom Yorke

Oh! Isn't this Tune Association? Well I'm still listening to Thom Yorke. Who probably qualifies as my stalker as he not only went to the same school, the same university but also lives in the same county!

This evening, due to forumte and fb friend recs, we have been enjoying an evening of (in no order other than when I remember them):
Patax (see above)
Malalma (from Colombia)
Nortec Collective (Mexico)
Jesse Sykes and the Sweet Hereafters (Seattle, and you can tell)

Two albums from Brave Combo: Kiss of Fire and Polkatharsis.

Loadsa stuff since I fired up my stereo for the first time since 2000!

The one album I listened to all the way through was Klinga Mina Klockor by ABBA's Benny Andersson. He made it in the mid-80s and went back to his folk roots. Beautiful. About as far removed from ABBA as it's possible to be.

Juan, I've seen quite a lot of BVSC stuff - all of it good. Is Omara the amazing female singer?

Excellent, Windy - does it have "Lining Track" and "On A Monday"? I love Leadbelly songs.
