Sara Baras. One of those occasions when the sound synch issues on Youtube are really really frustrating. Any way of fixing, short of downloading and playing through VLC?

Real Life by Joan As Policewoman. Absolutely fabulous. Something of the k.d.lang about her voice, I think, but there's a real wordsmith behind these songs.

Great stuff

I only get this with a minority of YouTube videos (including the one I posted above, sadly). I doubt there's any (other) way of fixing it.

Try finding alternative videos of the same artist.

Stellardrone - "Invent The Universe" album

Needs a decent amp & headphones I think, rather than tinny computer speakers!

An amazing album!

Not Very Much.

Stupid ears.

Leonard Cohen "Death of a ladies man".

Current track, "Don't go home with your hard on"

Britten's War Requiem, live from the Royal Albert Hall.

I'm sure I've heard bits of it before, but never the whole piece. While I won't be rushing out to buy a copy, I can honestly say it's a perfect match for the new Coventry cathedral, where it was first performed.

Miles Davis - Round about Midnight. I never realised I like jazz this much. It's such a fresh change from the rock and pop I normally listen to (despite being 56 years old).

Phillip Henry & Hannah Martin, Mynd. http://philliphenry.bandcamp.com/album/mynd

Superb. Understated Indian-influenced guitar from him; she has a lot of June Tabor about her. This must be that New Folk thing, I suppose.

On a long drive yesterday I had Dr John's "Locked Down" CD on repeat. In the end it becomes completely hypnotizing. Nice guitar work on it too from Dan Auerbach (Black Keys)

Connan Mockasin. Like Prince on drugs and helium underwater! Heard the new stunning album last night, now listening to this track again: http://youtu.be/B-JDih6hTA0

Radio Flaixbac, by the wonder of the Internet.

It's a radio station from Barcelona, and it is weird....

Level 42 - It's Over; the only song where Mark King's whingy voice suits the material, and there are some great chords and dynamics. The lyrics are very very sad.

Earlier Branka Parlic, followed by the Cleveland Orchestra playing George Gershwin. Currently PJ Harvey "Stories from the City"

Lots of Nancy Kerr's fiddling. Amazing stuff.

Bach St Matthew passion. Playing that as background music during a stats workshop was described as 'creepy'

From the sacred to the profane.... Most of the day has been spent listening to the compete works of Thomas Tallis. Now it's "Kind of Blue".....

A lot.

Nadine Shah. Heard her on R4 earlier, was impressed enough to buy the album. Good stuff.
