And currently enjoying Matthew E. White.

Chris, I'll have to give Calm Blue Sea a listen - ripping off Explosions in the Sky is no bad thing, in my book!

Earlier I was listening to Haydn's "Creation Mass" and practising the bass line. The dog kept joining in, which was off-putting to say the least.

Had a day of immersion in Judee Sill's music...I remembered her from 1973 or so, on OGWT, then browsing found this documentary. Glad to have found it (good old BBC!)

A review on R4 of Bob Dylan's new album, Shadows in the Night, consisting of covers of Sinatra-sung standards.

It's not April 1 already, is it?

Last night, I was listening to Whispering Bob Harris's 'Country' programme on R2 at 7pm. Hadn't listened to it before, but it was on by chance as I was chiseling and planing some wood on the kitchen table, and it was very entertaining. Yes, there was the inevitable sliiiiiiiiiiiide guitar and overly emphasised surrrrtherrrrn accent (as they're good 'ol country girls 'n' boys), but overall, I was pleasantly impressed.

I have resurrected a certain number of albums from a dying hard drive and the sound qualitynthereof is pleasingly less crap than I feared it might be. Hence I am now listening to NWOBHM also-rans Vardis

Inspired by the release of the names of the first acts on the bill @ Deershed 6, I have been listening to:

The Felice Brothers
Ibibio Sound System
John Grant
Honeyblood
Black Rivers
Menace Beach
Curtis Eller

My favourites, at the moment, are The Felice Brothers and Curtis Eller.

Deano · « **Reply #4589 on:** 03 February, 2015, 10:26:48 pm »

The Felice Brothers are fantastic.

I'm currently listening to the very indie, quite sweary and incredibly Lancastrian The Lovely Eggs.

Working my way through a Chopin box set

Just got to disc 13 . Piano sonata 2 in B flat minor, this includes the "Marche funebre", which had me sitting upright in my chair feeling rather sad....

I knew, upon listening to them, that you might be a fan...

Curtis Eller is gloriously mad.

I love it. Sometimes it has me doing the sad sitting upright thing; but at other times I can detach it from all the cultural references, and then it just sounds glorious

The choir of King's Colege, Cambridge, singing Rachmaninov's Vespers.

[liturgicalpedant]
The title is a misnomer. The music is actually for an All-Night Vigil, which is a combination of Vespers and Matins.
