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

[Robusto]

The bass player in my band has introduced me to PHISH.
I'd never heard of them and I've fallen in love.

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

[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.

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]

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.

i guess it's a bit cliched, but here's what i've been listening to during my cigar moments:





apologies for posting more than 1 video, just felt i should share these blissful recordings with you all, hopefully you'll get 'that' cool mood i get when burning off a lovely cuban!!!!

all the best,

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 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.

[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.

[senor_robusto]

i've saw them live a couple of times now, excellent!!!

Listening to the Soundtrack from the movie, Songcatcher. Great roots music.

[Superbrother]

I'm obsessive about Explosions in the Sky at the moment; absolutely stellar and a wonderful wind down on the way home from work in the car.

[moidoid]

I am besotted with Cardiacs. One of our best bands and no-ne has heard of them.

Because they are completely mad.

[tippexx]

Beethoven Piano Concerto No 4.

[MarkSDMF]

Dont know if anyone is even paying attention to this thread anymore but here's another Clutch ''CHOON'' to have a listen to.
A great wee number.
