Sadly only got to see him when he was a member of Geezer Butler & The Three Italians.  "Heaven And Hell" is a terrific album but it's nowhere near gloomy enough to be Proper Sabbath.

After waiting what felt like an age for it to come from an eBayer in Japan, I got home tonight to Joe Hisaishi's soundtrack to My Neighbour Totoro. I've been smiling like a child ever since.

Unfortunately now I have to sort out all of the track names in iTunes, as the ones from the CD are all in Japanese and I can't read them!

(edited to add: obviously I would have paid half the price, had it immediately and it would have all been tagged in English if I had just bought it from iTunes in the first place, but where's the fun in that?)

I'm not really listening, but Mrs. Wow is, to some R4 reading. Every so often the background music breaks through and grabs my attention. It's Bach's "Italian Concerto" played on a harp. Absolutely stunning.

Lana del Rey's 'Honeymoon'.

Less raw, more produced than previous works but works just as well. In a day or two, I might even say better. Think gangster's moles, film noir,  Bond movies, movie soundtracks, slow rap back beats and soaring choralesque vocals.

My God, she's a women I could blow my brains out with.

Cracked Rear View by Hootie and the Blowfish.  I think I have a bit of a mancrush on Darius Rucker.

Not one to listen too if your feeling a bit down I suspect. Not a little ray of sunshine Mr Hammill is he ?
I think you'll find it's a bit more complicated than that.

Low - What Part of Me.

Lovely, lovely song. Took me a few listens to realise that it's not a break up song, but the opposite.

On repeat: Carter Tutti Void - f(x) - dubbed-out industrial techno

Bingo! That's what I am, a saviour.

13 ~ Black Sabbath.  After thirty-odd years of studio albums ranging from mediocre to bloody awful this is top stuff.  Brad Wilk does a terrific Bill Ward impression too,

System Of A Down.  I'm sure they feel very strongly about something but I can't make out what it is half the time.
