"Bukra" by Rabih Abou-Khalil, a Lebanese Oud player who mixes middle eastern rhythms with modern jazz.

I first heard him on my radio, curled up in a tent on a tour of Northern Ireland, came back and started buying his CD's.

Pendulum -In Silico

Best described as being from that strange place where Drum & Bass meets heavy rock - which explains why the sticker on the jewel case has a quote from Kerrang! magazine, of all organs of the musical press...

Really? Sounds interesting!
How does it compare to Hold Your Colour?

I got hold of the 2007 reissue version of Hold Your Colour last week, and comparing the two, there isn't much in it, but I'd say that In Silico just shades it. That's not to say that Hold Your Colour is a bad album, I quite like it...

That's another album to add to the wanted list then...

dEUS - Vantage Point.

Not their best album (The Ideal Crash is still that IMHO) but still reliably good. They are a band who if they were British or American might well be regarded on a par with Radiohead et al. As they are Belgian, they remain relatively obscure art-rockers outside of their home country.

The Sundays. Harriet Wheeler just has the most beautiful fantastic voice, and I've just spotted her myspace page

Recommended tracks from their three albums - Can't be sure, Joy, She, God made me, Goodbye etc.

If I could pick a single vocalist in all time and space to pop over and sing me a song it'd be Harriet

Suprisingly the school are teaching my grand-daughter to play violin.She is performing in a concert in a few weeks

It is a joy to see & hear her play.

andrewc · « **Reply #165 on:** 11 June, 2008, 07:14:27 pm »

That's nice, I wish I could play an instrument. Henry (the neighbour) is very good, plays for the Crosby Symphony Orchestra. His students are mostly past the screeching stage as well.

Oh yes. They are very good.

Currently listening to Superfuzz Bigmuff - Mudhoney.

And having flashbacks to Saturday nights at Rock City in Nottingham

The Silver Jews' new album Lookout Mountain, Lookout Sea, is wonderful. Funny, beautiful, tender and David Berman has a voice that Nick Cave would kill for. The band should be far better known, but I'm happy with being one of their few fans...

Also listening to dEUS' The Ideal Crash to remind me what a truly great band they can be, a confidence which was rather dented by their most recent release, which I have decided after a few listens is really rather dull, with the exception of a couple of tracks.
