Apparently I'm singing this at Christmas - which could be interesting without getting to practice with the choir beforehand.

I liked that very much, M. I also like the usual version but get irked by the way so many of the "posh" choirs sing "tin-eh" instead of "tiny".

Good luck

The Psalter, chanted.

I find it calming and soothing, and I need that right now. Also, I'm hoping wearing headphones at my desk will discourage people from interrupting me / giving me even more work to do

tiermat · « **Reply #4032 on:** 20 November, 2013, 10:24:21 am »

For the same reasons as Andrij, I am listening to Smoove and Turrell - Eccentric Audio

The headphones thing is not working for me, though, my cow-orker who sits at the next desk keeps asking me about an Oracle install (yes he is the DBA, not me!)

I've had this sublime live version of one of my favourite Roxy Music songs on near constant repeat since I came across it a couple of days ago...

Just brilliant. If the tambourine moment doesn't fill your heart with joy, that's probably because you don't actually have a heart.

All day I have been playing Kate Rusby.
What a voice.

NIN - Further Down The Spiral, currently on one of my favourites, Hurt (Quiet)

Cate LeBon's latest LP, Mug Museum. Hints of a Welsh, psych-folk-flavoured Nico, with a smidge of early Stereolab throw in for good measure. I fuffin' love it!
Oh, in case you were wondering, she's not related to the plump-featured 80's glam-pop, Armani-suited, foremast-hanging, Brummie & D Duran front man, Simon of that ilk. Which is nice.

Sallie Ford. Who has rather, erm, clearer and more distinct lyrics on the recording than live. She's ever so slightly rude. Must remember not to play when the small people are around...

Last night, a crappy week was made slightly better by a hefty dose of Tim Minchin.

Interesting. Sounds right up my street. I shall check her out.

"Snap" by The Jam. A really good greatest hits album.
Angry , bitter lyrics & great music.

"Baron Von Bullshit Rides Again" by Modest Mouse, the official bootleg, AKA a live album

CrinklyLion · « **Reply #4042 on:** 28 November, 2013, 09:18:31 pm »

So far today... Blue Rose Code. Dolfish. Sallie Ford. Polly and the Billets Doux. Now Laura Veirs.

Couldn't be bothered to head out to the Random Pick gig I'd been thinking about, so am listening to 5 of this year's earlier Random Picks on Spotify instead.

Today I am rocking out to the brilliant Halestorm.

I may have a thing for the singer, whose voice cuts right through me (in a good way) that makes my spine tingle.

Thanks for that - they are rather good. In the Roundhouse tomorrow, eh? (no, I know I won't go - I would have once upon a time)

Glad to be of service.

Today is, yet another, day of Tristania. Well worth a listen if you liked Halestorm.

Billy Bragg - Levi Stubbs' Tears

(why is it Levi Stubbs' Tears but Bridget Jones's Diary?)

tiermat · « **Reply #4045 on:** 02 December, 2013, 08:23:39 am »

As those who have FB have seen, I am really really enjoying the work of Lucy Spraggan. It might sound a bit odd, but Saturday, when I played "Tea and Toast" was the first time, in the 13 years or so that I have known her, that I have seen Mrs T reduced to tears by a song.

Then again, I do have a soft spot for "1 woman, one guitar"* type of arrangements.

*Sandi Thom and Kate Nash** are in that group
**Yes, I know, KN doesn't always just use a guitar, but you know what I mean!

Because the former is wrong, in my opinion!
