Not today, but last night I was listening to: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MmdzIWZbsLw
by Anouar Brahem. Hadn't heard of him before, but a friend gave me the album for my birthday. I'm hooked!

He's wonderful. I went to Brussels earlier in the year to see him play the entire album live. If you like him also check out Rabih Abou Khalil and Dhafer Youssef

for those two. Just listened to a bit of 'Birds Requiem' album by Dhafer Yousef. Marvellous.

Lots of Lucinda Williams on Youtube

Some good some great and some shoddy (she looks out of it on some of the videos).

This one is excellent though and worth a listen to just for Doug Pettibone's blistering guitar.

Gerry Rafferty - City to City. I must be going soft.

Interesting that Baker Street was sped up a bit for the single, as well as edited, to make it more radio friendly and the sax in tune, allegedly.

Various episodes of "Live from Daryl's House" on YouTube. If you want an antidote to X-Factor et al then give this a try. Nearly all of them are utterly brilliant, fantastic musicianship and singing.

Shelby Lynne - Leaving

Rob Thomas - She's Gone (does it count as a cover of Daryl is on it ?)

Finally got around to listening to City Forgiveness by the ever-wonderful Wave Pictures.

It does seem to be that rarest of beasties, a good double album! Though the first disc is more ear-grabbing so far, probably cos it has more songs on it that I know.

Off to see them live next week, where I think they'll be playing a set of mostly Daniel Johnston tunes

'Going Back Home' from Wilko and Rog.

'Nantucket Sleighride' as I was posting about Felix and Leslie. Looking up Leslie's work on Am*zon, I came across this inspired if utterly non-PC record cover, following the amputation of part of one of his legs.

Listening to the new North Atlantic Oscillation album. I'm a bit underwhelmed

We've listened to an edition of TOTP from 1980 - cracking stuff, including Selecter, Madness, Dexy's, Pretenders etc. Now on a 1968 edition with The Move, Manfred Mann, Alan Price etc. Not quite so good, but there are some gems in there.

A blast from the past for me (though not too far in the past)

Uncle Kracker - Double Wide

I haz an MP3 CD in the motor-car with five Tool albums on it. Will this be enough for the journey from Larrington Towers to Crystal Palace?

Squeals and squawks and thumps of two Cubs playing upstairs and (I think, it's a bit unclear due to it being a Cub-choice on their stereo upstairs and the intervening sound insulation-and-pollution) Kirsty MacColl.

Back in the here and now with Biffy Clyro - Opposites

It's a grower, that is for certain.

Back to Front by Peter Gabriel, which is an official CD of his concert at the O2 last October, to which I went. Apparently you can buy a copy of every show on the tour (this was a gift from a well-meaning friend). There's even a box set with the whole lot in, which seems a bit excessive.

Sad to say, apart from the odd moment (an acoustic version of Shock the Monkey, for example), it's only serving to remind me how boring the concert was and why I was happy to leave before the end. I don't think it'll be getting a second play.

I bought it. Leslie West turned up to 11. Loud, grunty, wailing and shouting blues rock, Da-DUm, da-DUM, gorgeous stuff. Sod subtlety.
