The first two are brilliant.  Her voice sounds wonderful with the band.

I have to admit I had it palying in the background whilst I was working earlier and I had one of those shivery moments when she started singing....

Today is starting well, with Korn - The Path of Totality.

Metal meets dubstep (as mentioned upthere^), some of the tracks sound like one of my favourite bands of all time, Pitchshifter, which is no bad thing :)

Another Korn one, I am afraid, really enjoying their Unplugged, nearly, but not quite, as good as Nirvana's unplugged.

Now, as Mrs T is out at a birthday party, I am having a musical review of the year, Tiermat style.

So it is solely bandsI have seen play live this year.

This includes:
I am Kloot
The GO! Team
Terrorvison
Kings of Leon
Foo Fighters
Biffy Clyro

Mrs T should go out more often :)

Singing Adams.  Right now, 'The Old Days'.  I do like.

(I need to free my head of carols and christmas songs.  And, in particular, of '5 mince pies in a baker's shop', which the SmallestCub has been practising A LOT this week in preparation for his starring role as, shockingly, a mince pie in the show today.  On the bright side, only a week to go and so far so no-Little-Donkey....)

All together now....

Little Donkey
Little Donkey....

Oh well, suit yourself :)

This reminds me, must find our "Christmas Around The World" CD.

Perfect antidote to Bing and Co.  Christmas songs from around the world (who would have guessed that from the title, eh?), including Zydeco, blues and African beats.

@ CL and Tiermat

Carols as opposed to Christmas songs!  I'm a peri. in schools so we've had Little Donkey, Rudolph et al since October!  T, I like a man who likes his Zydeco - do you know Rockin' Doopsie?

Happy Christmas to all of you! :)

This Is Tunng Live From The BBC - lovely collection of their sessions etc. from over the years.

Byetone - Symeta in 24 bit - was named as Bleep's album of the year yesterday and worthily so - very early Pan Sonic is the best pointer I can think of (even back to the short time they were called Panasonic beforethey got told that this was not an acceptable name for a band by a certain large japanese electronics manufacturer)  Really rather good (especially in that there 24 bit).
Right! What's next?

Ooooh. That sounds like a daft idea.  I am in!

Have recently been exploring the delights of random play on my mp3 player. However, having just completed my next load of eMusic downloads, it'll be a selection from the following for the next couple of weeks:

Autechre - Move Of Ten
Bvdub & Ian Hawgood - The Truth Hurts
Beak> - Beak>
Chris Watson - El Tren Fantasma (The Signal Man's Mix)
Ku-Ling Bros - Creach (expanded edition)
Legowelt - Classics 1998-2003
Oneohtrix Point Never - Replica
Vatican Shadow - Mural Of Saddam
Vatican Shadow - Pakistan Military Academy
Vatican Shadow - Washington Buries Al Qaeda Leader At Sea - Decks 1-3

Bingo! That's what I am, a saviour.
A sort of cocky version of Jesus.

After an afternoon of relatively laid-back tunes whilst writing Crimble cards, I am now having a bit of a Joe Satriani blow-out.
