I have just started a subscription with eMusic, 'cos I got 50 free downloads when I downloaded Winamp & because I can fill in a few gaps in my Muslimgauze collection   8)

Currently listening to Reuber - ruhig blut b

Really nice, long version of a Staubgold label sampler track I've loved for ages... :thumbsup:
Bingo! That's what I am, a saviour.
A sort of cocky version of Jesus.

Magnum - Vigilante

Super uplifting album from 1986 with near perfect songs,  my favourite is the title track itself  :)

The Best of Eddie Cochran.  I found the CD after buying it at a charity shop a few years ago.  It's wonderful.  A bit of a nostalgia-fest, since my parents and my uncle used to listen to him when I was a kid - but boy, could he play guitar.

Miracle of the Voice - Natalie Dessay

Two CDs worth of highlights from recordings by the French Soprano. This is one of a bundle of classical CDs I picked up cheap in France last weekend. It's the enhanced package with a DVD I am saving for Friday night with a bottle of red. I have a weakness for French sopranos ....
I think you'll find it's a bit more complicated than that.

Hellbilly Deluxe - Rob Zombie
The Best of Black Sabbath

They seemed to be the most appropriate choices today. :demon:

Someone's lent me Sacred Hearts and Fallen Angels, the best of Gram Parsons.  After Eddie Cochran, someone else who died young.  I am enjoying it, though :thumbsup:

New Okkervil River album. It's okay, but gets a bit bland after a while.

Imelda May - love tattoo.  The first time I've ever asked the staff in a music shop 'what's this CD you're playing?'

It's absolutely fantastic!!

Last night I spent an uncomfortable 3 hours in the company of Eddi Reader and her band.  Eddi was wonderful as always, but the seats at Pacific Road are like something out of a torture museum!

The opening act was a chap called Dean Owens from Leith.  Dean did 30 minutes with guitar & harmonica (and was joined by Kevin McGuire on double bass for a couple of tracks).

My favourite was "The Man From Leith", a tribute to his father.     I enjoyed his session so much I bought his new CD "Whiskey Hearts"

A few sample tracks here http://www.deanowens.com/content/multimedia/audio/

Old Wild Men - 10cc

How on earth did they come across as a pop band in the early 70's when they were doing this stuff at the same time?

The Renaissance - Q-Tip (from A Tribe Called Quest) - it just seems so entirely appropriate to be listening to intelligent hip hop in the circumstances!

Because you were too young to understand the references.
