Crowded House.

A band Crusty introduced me to oh so many years ago. I have thought of them as a corny pop band for all this time, but for some reason they have songs that are hitting the spot right now, Four Seasons In One Day most particularly.

I don't normally knock people's musical tastes, but, REALLY?

You'll be listening to The Lighthouse Family next, at which point you will most definitely be off the Xmas card list!

MY choice today is Imagine Dragons, Emili Sande and Tom Odell.

I quite like The Lighthouse Family.

OH. DEAR.

It's ok, I'll still be your friend

I'll pass on TLF, but Crowded House are woefully underrated. I will admit, however, that I don't think that Woodface is one of their better albums....
Temple of Low Men and Together Alone are much better, IMO

And, I'm going to see the rather wonderful Neil Finn in May. In Brussels

At the risk of ridicule, today has been a mix of:

Imagine Dragons
Tom Odell
Emili Sandé and
Lorde.

Me too, but in London. His gig with Tim a few years ago was one of the best I've been to.

Not sure about the new album, though. I got it at the weekend and have only listened a couple of times, but it has a slightly unfinished feel to it, a bit like the last few peter gabriel albums. I'll keep at it….

I love Amazon Auto-rip. I get proper CDs in the post AND MP3s to listen to in the meantime.

Today's impulse purchases, and therefore office headphone entertainment, were Led Zeppelin's Physical Graffiti and The Dave Brubeck Quartet's Time Out.

American IV - The Man Comes Around Johnny Cash

Just beautiful, I don't know what else to say about this really. All covers bar a couple of re recordings of his own songs. If this doesn't make you cry you have no soul.

Some very soothing ambient electronica: Reflector by Coppice Halifax

Redlight · « **Reply #4183 on:** 05 March, 2014, 08:31:44 pm »

The Glamoury by Emily Portman. If Angela Carter could have sung and written songs, this is probably what she would have produced

Prefab Sprout - Steve McQueen

tiermat · « **Reply #4185 on:** 10 March, 2014, 07:52:08 am »

Tom Odell - Long Way Down, and singing at the top of my voice whilst sat in traffic on the A14 (oh! the glamour!), especially to "Grow Old With Me"

rogerzilla · « **Reply #4186 on:** 10 March, 2014, 08:03:01 pm »

Aneka - Japanese Boy. Marvellous 80s one-hit wonder.

Together Alone, quite loud, onna a decent hi-fi - 'nuff said.

Random stuff on i-Tunes at the moment, but this morning 'Lifetime Piling Up' by Talking Heads was on the radio when I was getting ready for work, and it was the best fucking earworm ever, all day.

Cry, cry, cry, it's just you and I
Like an automobile with no one at the wheel
Spinning out of control
We're all over the road
In our sexy machine
All the passengers scream
Scream, scream!

I can see my lifetime piling up, I can see it smashing into yours,

Damn it's good. Specially at 0630 on a Friday

The very wonderful Abdullah Ibrahim (formerly Dollar Brand) has a new album out called Mukashi

There are no videos or clips yet, so here's an extended performance from Poland in 1984

Sensational Alex Harvey Band.

It's not my fault, honest. Blame ESL.

I'm having a '60's dose of nostalgia

The Chiffons
The Crystals
The Toys
The Shangi-Las
The Ronettes
The Shirelles

There is a theme there.Can you see it?

Tim O'Brien's Dylan covers album, Red On Blonde.

It's absolutely fabulous. He gives good mandolin.

I think that's the tour when I saw him & Carlos Ward at the Arts Centre in Aberdeen. Great stuff.

Mixture of Euro pop covers and remixes in a Greek hotel bar. Just had a cover of Seven Nation Army preceded by a remix of Phil Collins' "In the Air Tonight" (which is probably where his solo career peaked
