The distinctly sub-Saharan soundtrack to the party currently in effect at next door-but-one.

I saw one of my neighbours the other day, and mentioned that it looked like someone might be moving into the flat nest to mine (previous occupant is now in an old peoples home). I might need to turn my music down a bit......

Music, oh, that's _you_ !! Playing music until 11 ?
Yes, the lease says I can.......
But I go to bed at 10:30........! and the U shape of our block acts as an echo chamber....

Still. at least you play decent music......

Gilad Atzmon is middle eastern jazz, not quite sub-sarahan.... I've got Toumani Diabate or Youssou N'dour for that

Tenuous claim to fame: I used to know Stephin Merritt's half-brother.

DJ Random decided that Thee Silver Mt. Zion Memorial Orchestra & Tra-La-La Band's "God Bless Our Dead Marines" would be a fitting accompaniment to the walk into town today.

A pity he then spoiled things with Zeke, who sound more like Monster Magnet than Monster Magnet do...

The simply wonderful dark ambient drones plus chants of Lustmord's The Word As Power

The tracks Babel & Grigori in particular are just gorgeous

Rim Banna - Seasons of Violet. Gorgeous, sultry singing, in Arabic, of Palestinian love songs, while a bunch of Norwegians lay down a western - middle eastern fusion kinda thing behind. No, really. Try After You Left, for instance.

Was led to her by the wonderful Lullabies from the Axis of Evil album.

Looking at the biblical weather outside my window a couple of old favourites seem appropriate

"Rain" by The Cult

<a href="http://www.youtube.com/v/g3DgAJwVeVU&rel=1" target="_blank">http://www.youtube.com/v/g3DgAJwVeVU&rel=1</a>

"Naked in the Rain" by Blue Pearl, Durga McBroom on vocals. I danced to this many times in a variety of hot, sweaty Liverpool clubs

Stephen Stills - Stephen Stills

I cant believe I never heard this before. Clapton and Hendix on guitar, Booker T on the organ, Ringo Starr on drums. Backing vocals from David Crosby, Graham Nash, Mamma Cass, Rita Coolidge and Claudia Lennear amongst others.

How could it not be great !

A live recording of the Ukrainian Bandurist Chorus, who I used to perform with before I moved to London. I've performed most of this repertoire.

I'm almost in tears. I miss performing, and I really miss performing with these guys.

Black Mountain. Once I'd persuaded a slightly flaky CD player to work that is.
