The 'what are you listening to' thread:

The Tallest Man on Earth - King of Spain

WOW!

Postcards from a Young Man - Manics. In preparation for the gig tonight. This old git is pretty excited actually - the last 2 albums have been something of a revival, so it should be good. Fingers crossed.

Boozy and listening to Leaders
MExican Stand off riff kicking in as i type.

What a majestically superb album for this time of night......

Bryan Ferry's cover of "Song To The Siren".

Tis good but sounds almost exactly like you'd expect, although there is actually quite a lot of depth of sound beneath the gleam.

The supporting cast is absolutely stellar, though, including
Phil Manzanera, David Gilmour, Nile Rodgers and Jonny Greenwood on guitars. (Yes, all of them). Brian Eno on keyboards and Andy Mackay on Oboe.
Now that is a band I would pay to see!

Good grief - that's one hell of a line up!

Sure is. I think I'll get the CD actually, having heard some more. It consists of Ferry doing his thing, but doing it to absolute perfection. The quality of his collaborators is simply astonishing, but rather than be overwhelmed by the talent he harnesses their skills to create perhaps the ultimate Bryan Ferry album.
In addition to the aforementioned musicians, other contributors include the likes of Flea, Marcus Miller, Mani, Groove Armada etc.

Chicago Train by the Besnard Lakes

Twelve Dreams of Dr. Sardonicus by The Spirit.

An amazing album by one of the most underrated band of all times. The records from the original members are totally great, except for Clear that is dispersive but with some beautiful songs.

REM - Green

James - about 6 albums worth.

I'm just falling in love with them all over again. Hell, Manchester has produced some bloody brilliant bands, eh?

Currently listening to the lovely "Hello".

Vic Chesnutt - Coward

She & Him

Max Gazzè(italian artist) - Mentre Dormi

Five Years - Bowie, from Ziggy. What a fabulous song!
followed by The Big Music - The Waterboys - gotta love Mike Scott
followed by Saturday Night - Suede, from the fabulous "Best Of". Seriously, if you haven't got much Suede stuff then this collection is possibly all you need - 35 tracks including all the singles, the brilliant B sides and topped up with the best of the rest from the first two albums.

Doors - People Are Strange

Zucchero(Sugar) - E' un Peccato Morir

Eric Andersen - Beat Avenue. Man it's a long song!

Les Fleur - Minnie Ripperton, MAGICAL SONG.

Agreed Vesty. Very good track and a good cover by 4hero

Erykah Badu - That Hump

Nehemiah - Hope Of The States on 6Music - no idea when any station last played HOTS - a brilliant and much missed treasure...

Blur - Good Song

Jesca Hoop - Bed Across the Sea

Chris Isaak - Big Wide Wonderful World
