God, that woman's voice does things to me.
^that's exquisite Zuul and has it's similarities to the Ambrosia Parsley voice (what a fabulous name!).
Weird coincidence with the title and the name of the singer - I have just recently installed a Mira shower unit - don't get cold water from it fortunately
Oh, you're right on the vocal similarities! And now I am listening to this:
Another pearl Zuul, hadn't heard that one before!
Superb photography too.
This is a little more pop than I usually go for, but I really enjoy Orianthi's guitar:
I have to agree with the 'pop' part - I think she has sold out somewhat in comparison to her first album, which was an absolute knockout.
I bought 'Believe' when it was released and haven't played it much until I put it on my mp3 player a couple of weeks ago. It is growing on me but is distressingly commercial.
Still lots of potential there though. I hope she fulfills Carlos Santana's ambitions for her.
The only genuine love song David Byrne ever wrote:
"Man in Love" Eric Clapton
Heather Nova "Not Only Human". Shame about the sound quality, her guitar is so subdued and it makes the song.

Sometimes I think that punk rock is actually finally dead. Then I hear things like this, were it's quite obvious while the majority of music made under the guise of "punk" continues to suck, there are still bands out there that just seem to be able to find the fleeting places where you can still write a new, original and awesome punk rock song.

I'm really digging this Your Lips Your Lips, since I saw them on Craig Ferguson. They have a real 80s sound to them, which I can totally appreciate, as an old fogey who goes for that sort of thing.

Supremely elegant.

Everyone I play that for loves that song. There's a lot of music made that sounds quite like that, but This Will Destroy You does it very well.

Went to a concert last night where she was the soloist in the Concerto Aranjuez. Stunning performance.
Met her afterwards when she played the above and many more on the concourse, got some absolutely rubbish photo's, she signed my CDs, was absolutely charming and beautiful and when asked about more CDs said she was recording the Concerto Aranjuez for release later this year.
A night to remember!

Ignore the Harry Potter video portion, this is just the best available version of the song.

The beautiful Heather Nova, superb as ever. Wish I had gone to see her last November.
And the ever disturbing "Sugar"
A new singer (for me) Anna Ternheim.
About the only thing I watch on TV lately is the Swedish series "Wallander", that also always has excellent music accompanying it, as I have previously mentioned.
The last two episodes featured the remarkable Anna with:
Just listening to some of her other songs and I am very quietly impressed!

Carina was very popular here a few years ago. Saw her live and she was tremendous despite being ill. She signed with an American promoter and disappeared.

It's a reunion album that was never formally released. They sold a few copies on eBay and that was it.
Shame, it's good.

OCMS are playing in Belfast in September. D'ya reckon I should go see them?
Oh most definately. They're crazy fun live and put on a great show. Plus then you'll get to see what happened to Irish trad when it got stuck in the Appalachian mountains for two hundred years and what it turned into.
