This week I've mostly been listening to

[Firky]

Eels - Blinking Lights and Other Revelations

Fluffiest record this year.... it rawks!

Will let you know, but it sounds like an abomination.

Fuck, the Bernstein Post-Berlin Wall gig is slow and ponderous enough. Thing's supposed to be played allegro and with vim and verve...it's a celebration after all!!

OK, I take this back.

I've only listened to the first 9 mins of the first part of the first movement and hacve just reached the first coda after the opening chords!! Sounds like the ocean...really, really quite trippy but shows the underlying power of the music.

Can be a wee bit frustrating tho - you keep wanting it to accelerate so you can really make the medlodies out!!

 

[Monkeygrinder's Organ]

Might actually give it a listen then.

I came across that through a breakcore blog, strangely.

 

[Biddlybee]

Souad Massi... her voice is incredible!

Me too... and she's great Not sure where you are reNnIe, but she's playing tonight at the Marquee in London only £12 (cheap for town), and only one gig!

recommend me some Gotan Project then - I discovered their version of Paris Texas a while ago and really like it

oooh, don't think I've heard that - what's it on? I've got 2 albums, both well worth having...and if you ever get the chance they're a class act live!

Vivadixie = greatest. album. ever.

No merlad, that's Kid A

 

[Alan Hunt]

David Last live on Rythm Incursions. Listened to this last night while driving 50kms an hour through a snowstorm where all I could see out my window was swirling snow and it made for a very enjoyable evening.

I can't get enough of Why? which I found via the NYUB Podcast. Kind of like a mix between early Beck and Magnetic Fields maybe, but that probably doesn't do it justice. It's poppy but wierd, which is what I like.

Also the soundtrack for Hair! which I also got because somebody here mentioned it. So many tracks that I know and love but never knew came from it.

and lots of oddities from various MP3 blogs.

thanks for making me google for this .... some amazing stuff out there !

currently listening to "The Desperate Bicycles" - a blast from my past

Eels - Blinking Lights and Other Revelations

Fluffiest record this year.... it rawks!

can a record be "fluffy" and "rawk" at the same time?

anyway it's one of my favourites too - I just hope you don't put if it as well lol

dunno what album the Gotan Project Paris Texas thing is on - I found it on soulseek while I was looking for the Paris Texas soundtrack ...

and this week I have been mostly listening to the Elpmas album by moondog when at home and the Kings of Leon - Aha Shake Heartbreak whilst driving ...
