Transylvania ~ Creature With The Atom Brain.

Big mistake to put your passport photos on the cover, lads. Nothing that ugly has been seen in public since that time Phil May appeared on TOTP with a huge boil on his nose.

Dusty in Memphis. Makes a change from prog and jazz.

Streetwalkers - Downtown Flyers

I love Roger Chapman's stuff, this is a wonderful recording full of warmth and great songs

Messiaen, the Vingt Regards. It's the 1975 recording, of Yvonne Loriod.

Ali Farka Toure & Toumani Diabate - Ali & Toumani.

A wished-for birthday present - sublime (poignant too, obviously).

I bought this earlier today. Very, very good. I saw Toumani Diabeate play in Liverpool last year.

Currently listening to Anouar Brahem, "The Astounding Eyes of Rita". More Oud.

I've a musical weekend lined up, tomorrow it's

<a href="http://www.youtube.com/v/yM6hPuui-l8&rel=1" target="_blank">http://www.youtube.com/v/yM6hPuui-l8&rel=1</a> , on Saturday it's Dhafer Youssef and on Sunday it's the RLPO Youth Orchestra

Bryan Ferry & Roxy Music - The Platinum Collection (Triple CD)

I didn't appreciate him when I was younger but what an effortlessly smooth voice (and the coolest man on the planet).

........Rock Sugar - "Re-imaginator"

Excellent covers album of rock/pop hits that improve on alot of the originals IMO.

Not just bog standard renditions either.

Fantasia on a Theme by Thomas Tallis - R. V. Williams.

Anton Webern, 6 Stücke für Orchester op. 6

Difficult and muscular stuff. Webern loved the Alps, and his music often seems to reflect the small and strange thoughts you might have on a long and lonely climb.

For me, when I am sweating, and worrying, sometimes I look down, and the sight of small alpine plants, the tiny flowers, or the crystals in the rocks, then Webern's intense music comes into my mind.

Cat Power - The Greatest

Haven't listened to this for ages. It's really rather good.

rogerzilla · « **Reply #1189 on:** 22 March, 2010, 09:11:25 pm »

Highlights from Don Giovanni, to be precise, "Madamina, il catalogo e questo", which is Leporello telling the jilted Donna Elvira about the Don's thousands of previous women (1,003 in Spain alone), and not exactly sparing her feelings.

Thanks for the heads-up, first I knew of Phil & Paul doing these shows on 6Music (missed part one, grr).

Best of the Stone Roses.

"...I wanna, wanna, wanna be adored....."

Until recently I had not realised just how musically gifted some members of this band are/were, "I am the Resurrection" stands out as an absolute belter.

Glopperly glovely.

That's why it's called a 'glop' glove.
