A blackbird holding forth on the gutter over my window. Cars going by. The neighbour's kids playing at police-cars (EEEEEEEooooo EEEEEEEooooo EEEEEEEooooo). The neighbour bawling at them to shut up (EH! OH! HOLTS MAUL!!!)

Aaaaah, the peace and quiet of the country!

Hope & Social - All Our Dancing Days. Currently on Long Way Home.

Feel like listening to Lucy Spraggan - Tea and Toast, but I don't want to cry...

John Coltrane "Live in Paris"...... on vinyl .... through valves....

Vladimir Ashkenazy playing Chopin. It's stunning. Part of a 54 CD box set I got for less than half price on Ebay last week. Going to take me a while to listen to all of them

John Mayer. He's got a nice voice.

Quite a fascinating story and goes to show what crowdfunding can do in unusual circumstances. This is music by one of the most important electronic artists ever, that would have remained unheard without this.

Of course, it being Richard James, he could have played us all for fools and recorded this music recently, rather than 20 years ago.

So far, it's a good piece of work, not as aggressive as other Caustic Windows pieces. An interesting addition to the myth.

I love the Caustic Window Compilation album but couldn't bring myself to go for that. Maybe at half the price but I'm just not 'completist' enough to take the plunge...

Whenever I travel to London I'm playing this in my head...

"Euston station and it's cold as ice
All night specials, they move you on
But me and Ginger over there
We got this thing where we really take care"

Mary Chapin Carpenter.

A true contralto voice isn't that common, and I think hers is an especially lovely one.

Her new album, 'Songs from the Movie' is so good.

Handel's Messiah. I'm amazed how much I've forgotten since we sang it last year and I need to get practicing again.

mcshroom, come see Mary at the Sage at the end of September with me? And, indeed, any other forumites who might be reading this? Because she's so damn good. I have my ticket already but am always glad of company

mcshroom · « **Reply #4320 on:** 26 June, 2014, 10:01:07 pm »

If she's as good as she sounded on the Transatlantic Sessions then yes please

When is it?
