Tedeschi Trucks Band

This video made me laugh. Two drummers in a small studio that's OK but the horn section get banished to another room, maybe they had been very naughty

Superb guitar solo from 5:18, Derek Trucks amazing as usual never over does it.

I've heard bits of this and it is indeed good. You may also therefore like my current choice - Yndi Halda's 2nd album Under Summer. A little different to their first effort some 10 years ago but every bit as good. Classic "post rock" with added violin.

Have just bought both. Only halfway through the first track of Enjoy Eternal Bliss but am liking what I'm hearing thus far.

Bach Cello Suites. First by Stephen Isserlis, then Yo-Yo Ma, now Pierre Fournier

Heard the David Watkin recording on the radio at the weekend & ordered it straight away. Utterly beautiful.

You need the Pablo Casals recording as well. Its the reference for all others. Its pre WWII and mono but the Naxos restoration of the original recording is excellent and relatively cheap too.

Vintage Trouble

Sort of a 60s soul / R&B vibe. Just heard of these guys and they are really good. Apparently they have been on tour supporting AC/DC which seems an odd match but there you go.

Vintage Trouble - Pelvis Pusher

Saw them supporting Paloma Faith. I concur- they are good.

You're welcome. The first half of Dash and Blast is awesome. For years I thought A Song for Starlit Beaches was the weakest track on the album but now I've come to realise it is never a wasted 22 minutes of my life.

Nothing on the telly last night except soggy foopballers so I listened to The Lot. Thanks for the recommendation

Though with a name like that they ought to be from Seyðisfjörður rather than Canterbury.

Marianne Faithfull

The stuff from the late seventies onwards. Some really quite beautiful and haunting songs. I particularly like "There is a ghost" and "Flaming September".

Gwegle have offered my a month's free music.

So, yes thank you. I'll have a month of that.

So I'm listening to Lloyd Cole and the Commotions. Nostalgia, yup, that's me.

Yesterday was The Waterboys.

Today will be Midnight Oil, Diesels and Dust album. Best songs ever sung by someone utterly incapable of singing.

Having a binge on This Mortal Coil. Only problem with this warm weather is that the amp doubles as a room heater !

Having discovered the Vevo app on our new smart TV, I am binging on '90s and new millennium rock, starting with System of a Down.

In Search Of Harperfield - the very lovely new(ish) album by Emma Pollock.

Standout track:

(The bit where she starts singing in Scottish makes me go weak at the knees.)

Tenuous cycling link: she used to be in the Delgados.

Bruce. Revision for tomorrow innit. Doesn't "The Ghost of Tom Joad" sound a lot like "Nebraska".

Michael Rosen, on R4's My Teenage Diary. Granted, I'm a long-standing fan, but what a lovely bloke. Warm-hearted, intelligent, and hilarious - best thing I've heard for ages, on what can sometimes be a damp squib kinda programme. How could you not love someone who calls his communist father Pater? He'd fit in well here, in fact, with his general excellence, idiosyncratic sense of humour, grammar pedantry, (I'll stop there)
