The Rails - Fair Warning

Falling the right side of that tricky dynastic musical knife-edge (Kami Thompson is Richard and Linda Thompson's daughter), particularly as The Rails are a husband-and-wife folk duo, I'm really enjoying this album. Strong material, freshly sung and played - and the title track is one of the most desperately heart-breaking new songs I've heard in I'm-not-sure-how-long. Recommended.

When I bought tickets for Robert Plant via ticketmaster, I had to agree to buying his new cd. I wasn't very happy about that. It duly arrived yesterday and have had a listen. I hope its a slow burner, on first listen I didn't like it much.

Gosh you can tell she's Linda's daughter both in the way she sings and the way she looks.

Tool, courtesy of DJ Random this morning.

Mostly Jonathan Richman - but now The Burning Hell, in anticipation of the gig on Thursday. Never listened to them before, and I already have the tickets, so it's probably a good job I'm enjoying it.

DJ Random was in a drum solo mood today. Moby Dick, Toad and Rat Salad all came up.

Seasick Steve, currently he is wanting to drive his tractor...

Jennifer Crook, Carnforth Station. Wonderfully downbeat and wistful, just as it should be with that title.

jenhunt · « **Reply #4437 on:** 19 September, 2014, 09:21:07 am »

whilst at work we have R2 on as it's the only thing that nobody really objects to....

at home however - yesterday evening was spent listening to Karl Jenkins' "The Armed Man - a mass for peace" in an attempt to learn my part for november 8th, when I'll be singing it with Yarm Choral and the Black Dyke Brass Band

I'm so excited (and slightly geeking out about it too!)

You can indeed. I like.

New CD just delivered from Amazon today.

Véronique Gens - Tragédiennes, Vol. 2: mainly Gluck, Sachinni and Rameau.

I think I have a bit of a thing for French sopranos, i have quite a bit of Sandrine Piau and Natalie Dessay in my collection as well.

Good choice by DJ Random: Somewhere In Texas ~ The Raveonettes (shortly after entering Texas)
Bad choice by DJ Random: Feel Good Hit Of The Summer ~ Queens Of The Stone Age (while negotiating foot-deep puddles brought about by the arse-end of a Pacific hurricane)

And lead break in this one on his awesome electric octave violin. Letting rip at 2:16.

Brill, wasn't it? Very Neil Young, in a good way.

A newly re-mastered release of Jam Science by Shriekback.

Comes with additional tracks & an additional cd - Live at Hatfield.

Perhaps I am partly to blame for having six versions of Jimi Hendrix' take on See My Train A-Comin' but really, DJ Random, did you have to play three of them on the same day?
