What are you listening to at the moment?...

[Eggboy]

I've been getting back into "The Last Waltz" by The Band which has got me exploring the delights of Neil Young, Joni Mitchell & Muddy Waters. All so good.

[monkey66]

I was at a friends last night and 'the Night They Drove Old Dixie Down' came on her shuffle play. We then had an in-depth conversation about The Last Waltz ....it's a small world. NB I have nearly everything Muddy Walters has recorded (Chess reissues were a god-send) and have Joni's Blue and Ladies of the Canyon very high in my all time great album lists.

[Simon-JG-hr]

Having an embarassing evening on the music front.

Listening to a combination of mid-90s UK Eurovision entries, specifically Gina G's Ooh Ah... Just a Little Bit and Katrina and the Waves' Love Shine a Light (and Walking on Sunshine for a non-Eurovision bit).

I've also been pondering the lyrics of Mika - you know, the chap with a ridiculously high-pitched voice... I actually like some of his music, in an ironic way, (well, it's fun, if nothing else). I've also had fun thinking about his lyrics... specifically: why, given that the majority of his fan-base must be 10 year old girls, he has lyrics such as...

From Lollipop, which is perhaps one of the most innuendo laden songs of all-time... "Take a look at the girl next door; She's a player and a downright bore." There's something inside me which things the last word of the second line may have been censored...
From We are Golden... "No giving up when you're young and you want some..."
There's also a little bit of ABBA in tonight's playlist... Does Your Mother Know is in there... this is also ironic, as my mates are currently enjoying pointing out whenever we have a cheesy night on the pub jukebox... Which is all too often.

I have been on a bit of an 80s goth kick lately with the tiresome mingling with the (not so) great British public during my bus rides to work and back being tempered somewhat by the strains of The Fields of the Nephalim with the odd Sisters of Mercy track thrown in for good measure. A perfect antidote to the incessant drone of unmitigated drivel pouring from the tinny speakers of kid's phones, especially when backed up by earplug style headphones.

[Styler]

The Fields of the Nephalim with the odd Sisters of Mercy track thrown in for good measure.

Hehe, I'd never have thought I'd be reading about the Sisters on a cigar forum :)

I was a big fan many moons ago, of TFotN as well to a lesser degree. Might just have to dust off First and Last and Always and take it into the car tomorrow morning.

[Tzusskin]

This morning I decided to have a listen to something on the bus to work. I don't normally as at 7:30 it is pretty quiet with maybe the odd snore here and there but I needed waking up too.

I went with some Hayseed Dixie and the album, A Hot Piece of Grass.

For those who don't know these boys, they are 4 musicians from Nashville who started off with a load of bluegrass style covers of AC DC tracks, hence the group's name but have then moved onto covers of Kiss, Queen, The Rolling Stones (thier version of Paint it black is awesome), The Scissor Sisters and a fair few others. They have also done a album of their own stuff (No Covers). I have seen them live a couple of times, the last of which was at Rock City here in Nottingham where they were supported by Ed Tudor Pole (completely nuts but great fun) and stuck around afterwards to have a chat and beer with a couple of the guys.

They are loads of fun and if anyone find out they are playing near them then I urge you to go and see them, you might think "eh?" when you first hear them but I can guarentee that you will have a grin on your face before long.

[Gordonbcb]

Good shout with Hayseed Dixie, Tzusskin.

First time I played them in the car I smiled the whole journey. Even when stuck in traffic.

The people in the next cars must've thought I was a nut job :loco:

That sounds excellent, I love crossover covers! I'm already looking for some of their stuff :p. Are you familiar with The Baseballs (Rockabilly covers of chart songs, among others)? If not, I'd reccomend, if you like that sort of stuff.

I shall have to take a look, i quite like a bit of Rockabilly (along with the occasional bit of psychobilly - try The Horrorpops or Rev. Horton Heat). have you heard any of The Head Cats? Lemmy Kilmister's rock and roll band, some great Buddy Holly covers on Youtube but I can't find anything studio recorded yet.

This morning's bus ride was to the tune of Saxon, might go with a bit of Whitesnake or Tracy Chapman later depending on what sprits the denizens of the number 77 are in.

/*edit*/

Now I'm home and not sitting at my work desk with the heavily restricted internet access that our illustrious lords and masters see fit to bestow upon us mere mortals, I can post a video of another... I suppose you could call them a crossover of sorts, group I have seen a couple of times. 4 guys from Finland going by the name of Apocolyptica. All classically trained cellists whose first album was Metallica by 4 Cellos and this song is taken from that, Nothing Else Matters.

My wife and I actually had this being played at our wedding (3 years ago, our anniversary was somewhere between Monday and Tuesday - we got married on 29/2/2008 :cool: .) as everyone came in then the Metallica version afterwards.

Anyway, enough of my rambling, onto the melodies:


http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rbTozgoj9OQ

[seeacon]

I love apocalyptica! Also, I got engaged last year, so may have to steal the idea for the wedding.. Think I've heard a bit of head cats, but not enough to remember. may look into them again. I like a bit of psychobilly too, and this thread reminded me: have you heard any Bourbon Crow? Wednesday 13's (Murderdolls, Frankenstein Drag queens, etc) country band. Someone told me about them ages ago, but totally forgot until I read this, think seeing "psychobilly" and "bluegrass" in the same place reminded me:tongue:

[Styler]

Went to see Andy McKee recently and just can't get his tunes out of my head. He is flawless live and I would highly recommend you go and see him if you get the chance.

Here is his amazing cover of Everybody Wants to Rule the World and another of his own songs.

Dependent on the exact prog or industrial, I'm in agreement :smoke:

[senor_robusto]

Dependent on the exact prog or industrial, I'm in agreement :smoke:

hey gavin,
for me, i'm talking about 'classic' prog: yes, emerson lake palmer, king crimson, soft machine etc etc....... though my main love would be krautrock from the early 70's!!! as for industrial, it has to be throbbing gristle, coil, (very early) psychic tv (basically anything that involved the guys who invented the term & the original experimentalists, genesis p-orridge, peter 'sleazy' christopherson, chris carter, cosey fanni tutti)!!! when i was younger i loved anything connected with 'industrial'...... nine inch nails, ministry, revolting cocks, LARD, spk, test department, die krupps..... have to say i grew outta that stuff years ago (still love NIN though)!!!

alex

[Styler]

(still love NIN though)

I'm glad you added that :) I've grown out of a lot of music over the years but there's no denying that Mr Reznor is a very talented man. What do you think of the Pretty Hate Machine remaster? I think that overall the more electronica based industrial has stood the test of time better than noisy guitar driven bands like Ministry.

With regards to Prog, I like a lot of prog through the ages from Yes, King Crimson and Jethro Tull (Although they didn't like the label) through to bands like Rush, Marillion, Ayreon and The Tangent.

[travisbickle34]

NIN and Tool never grow old for me :849:

I'm having a fine nostalgia trip with Tubeway Army....REPLICAS is awesome!

Yeah, I love Tool as well, I think they are the only band where I can say that every album is better than the last (Although every other Tool fan I've met has disagreed with me!). The best gig I've ever been to was Tool as well, huge sound.

I'd have The Fragile over TDS anyday though Stevie :)

I feel every album was better than the last until 10,000 days came along. It had flashes of brilliance but it was no Lateralus for me.

Ditto on the concerts. I've seen them 4 times now :smoke: Roll on the fifth.

I felt the same about 10,000 Days until I saw the songs live, that made a huge difference to my perception of the album.

I wish they toured more regularly, I'd love to see A Perfect Circle as well.

Saw APC once too many moons ago. Don't think we'll see Tool in the UK for a while. Apparently they've turned down summer tour offers to focus on a new album. New album will mean new tour also though :849:

[Tzusskin]

Was rocking the morning commute with a bit of Saxon and their Wheels of Steel today, woke me up a treat. Thinking about maybe a bit of Natalie Merchant or Heather Nova for the trip home, something to wind down to a little

[Jacobwaits]

I am in love with Tori Amos...there, i've said it...

[monkey66]

she never was a cornflake girl....

....and I believe is not allowed within 50M of a piano stool due to being on the piano stool offenders register :tongue:

[Lascaux]

There's a 2cd album of hers where the 2nd is live... Can't remember the name but it's gorgeous. Not so huge on her other albums but that one is great. Has a version of bells for her on prepared piano and purple people. Good stuff

The Social Network Soundtrack is both a great album in it's own right and synergised with the movie perfectly. There is no doubt in my mind that Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross deserved the Oscar over Hanz Zimmer (Inception).

I can't help but feel that their return to an edgier sound is a slightly desperate attempt to bring some credibility back to the Foos after the last 10 years of mediocre rock. For me, they will never top their first album.

[Pleevy]

At the moment i have The Eraser by Thom Yorke in the car. Not for everyone but i cant get enough of anything Radiohead, havent had the opportunity to relax with a cigar and listen but i could imagine they would go well together.
If i could recommend any album to people it would be TM Juke' - Maps From The Wilderness. Its extremely well put together and the most perfect album to relax to after a heavy night out. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VVbVkIvsxbg
Also anything Quantic touches turns to gold. He's an English chap who lives in South America, fantastic musician and lover of music. Does a lot of stuff with local artists and instruments. Think a few people might enjoy this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eCXc_oreOoc

Still got a nasty case of Glasto envy after listening to Radcliffe and Maconey on R6 today so I've got this on in the background while I work this PM:

http://www.bbc.co.uk/music/festivals/glastonbury/2011/artists/fleetfoxes/

[Pleevy]

BBC6 Music is the best radio at the moment, there aren't any other stations that will play a 15 minute Floyd tune. Was listening to it while flooring the loft last week, getting the serious Glasto envy. I have only been the once, think i might have to try again next time round. I haven't been able to find any decent footage of the secret Radiohead gig unfortunately. The Ed Sheeran set is worth a look, he has some serious talent.

[nicwing]

I was just looking for the Radiohead footage for Bryan and there isn't any, just a page of guff explaining why, despit the fact 90% of the BBC was there, they couldn't get someone up there with a video camera.

[pauldrums81]

I've been listening to a lot of Seth Lakeman recently. Really well written songs and a great band on the albums. I also listen to an awful lot of Dave Matthews Band and it never fails to excite me.

[nicwing]

If you want to make your wife/lady happy take her to a Seth Lakeman concert. My wife and daughter and a chum are off to see him in St Albans this week, I got the tickets for them, he is good but too many doe eyed women in the audience for me.

Having said that I shall be doing the same at Tift Merrit at the Borderline on Monday!

Listen without Prejudice Vol 1 - I really think this is a classic album. Great song-craft, a unique sound-scape and a single minded musical vision. I don't care about the composers public persona, this album will go down as one of the greats.

Chicane - Offshore (Ambient Mix)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uCEN4OCJ0DI

Chicane is possibly the greatest dance/trance producer of all time, in my opinion. There is not a single song I don't like, he has the ability to mix various genres of music together to create his own unique style. Offshore (Ambient Mix) is such a relaxing song, makes me want to light up a cigar in order to achieve a state of trance.

I'm actually listening to the Live at Fingerprints recordings he did, as I was luck enough to be at the show. The At the Point album is great too. Live, he has just one of the most amazing consistant voices Ive ever heard. His songwriting is pretty inspiring too. Cant get enough.

Hi All,
I am a big fan of Celine Dion and usually play her tracks on iPod while jogging early morning or hitting gym in the evening. currently I am listening her song "I'm Alive" while working on computer.

Good choice with the aphex twin there Zig. I've been listening to a band called the Skints. Excellent British dub/reggae/ska. I'm also loving the xx and justice

Wow, glad someone else likes these guys. Amazing voices that really stand up live with minimal accompaniment.

Here's a great cover of Billy Jean (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MZhIm-XtZIk&feature=related).

[Detroit_Waves]

I currently have Gotye's new album 'Making Mirrors' playing on Vinyl. Sounds amazing. I got an advance copy of the album last year and loved it, and sounds even better on vinyl. He is now, rightly so enjoying an insane amount of success...In the past few months I have seen this video for the latest single go from a couple of thousand plays to 58 bloody million!!! (Seriously....5...8....million!).

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8UVNT4wvIGY

I don't think he is enjoying as much success in the UK as of yet, however, if not, trust me, it will only be a month or two before this blows up the radio there, if it hasn't already!

I'm also not usually one for covers of songs, especially great songs...however, just in case you're not one of the 45 million (yes again, 45 million) people to have seen this cover of the song...watch...it is simply fascinating!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d9NF2edxy-M


Finally, after this, I will be putting some D'Angelo on in celebration of his long awaited return to music!!

[Styler]

Hey DW, that song has been rattling around in my head for a week or so now.

I'd never heard of Gotye until then but if the album is good then I'll have to check it out.

[Detroit_Waves]

Definitely give it a go, along with his album from a couple of years previous. I don't think many people had heard of him prior to the last couple of months, he has managed to keep pretty under the radar.

The songs on each album are all pretty diverse, which I love. The new album has some blinding tracks on it, 'I feel better' being my particular favourite.

[senor_robusto]

Loads of Mike Oldfield at the moment esp. Hergest Ridge

funny that stevie, i've been listening loads to mike oldfield's early stuff, ommadawn and hergest ridge being two favs!

Do books count? I don't tend to listen to music all that much...anyway, listening to The Floor of Heaven by Howard Blum. Its about the last great gold rush in the Klondike. If you love history, you'll love this book.
