    Default What are you listening to?

    Yes, one of THOSE threads. I'm bored.

    Right this very second?

    . It's The Yoshida Brothers, which someone on GB turned me onto this morning and I haven't been able to stop listening to for most of the day.

    The video is an amalgam of many other of her official videos.

    Right this very second, it's the sound of a DL580 screaming about the lack of aircon in here.

    Alphabet Zoo by Ralph McTell.

    Last week I bought a CD player for my grandson to listen to some talking books on. He hasn't any talking books yet but does have Alphabet Zoo, since he was very small.
    My kids all loved it when they were little and the slew of grandchildren are no different.
    Their favourite was always played at max volume and them all kangarooing all over the place to it.

    Been sat listening to Jeff Beck You Had It Coming for the past couple of hous and had to go and get the CD cover, could not think of the name or title.
    Bought it and it's sister album Lie At Ronnie Scott's a while back, purely for the track with Imogen Heap.
    Didn't really care for the rest of it at first but now I have heard it a few times I do. He is pretty rough and noisy most of the time but can have a surprisingly delicate touch when he wants to.

    The CD version is 'better' than this one, technically, but it is nice to see them performing live too.
    Bought some Imogen Heap CDs too but they are taking a bit longer.

    Now got the Live (!) At Ronnie Scott's on, currently playing.

    Had this for years on his Guitar Shop album. Surprising how close this is to the original recording.

    Lately I've been listening to The Horse Feathers ( ) on constant repeat. Actually, their sound annoys me just a little bit, but it seems to be powering my muse, so who am I to complain?
    I'm still swimming in harmony. I'm still dreaming of flight. I'm still lost in the waves night after night...

    My youngest daughter loves her, she was completely cracked up by "Psychotherapy" and still giggles about it.

    is such a powerful and moving song.

    As is .

    She has a song called "Citiest People" that is may all time favourite but it isn't available on Youtube - may have to rectify that.
    Here is a . Not too bad but it can't compete with the original.

    *Interesting story around that at Woodstock where she wasn't even scheduled to appear.

    Another Heather Nova track, .
    This is from her "Oyster" album but there is an even better live version on her "Wonderlust" album (correct spelling) there are some live versions on YouTube but the sound quality isn't up to much.

    I heard this on the radio on the way home, at first I assumed it was a Jack White thing, the male singer totally sounds like his clone.

    Decent song though.

    Cool disk: Talking Heads "12 X 12 Original Remixes"

    Excellent remixes of stuff from Little Creatures, True Stories and Naked.

    Essentially the albums recorded in the digital age.

    These are much more lovingly remixed than most dance tracks.

    Bonus, the kid likes them.
