What's everyone listening to...?

I've been giving the mighty Tull a good spin recently- Heavy Horses, what a fantastic album! 

[CrazyFoxMachine]

I saw them play the title track from that live once upon a time and it was magic.

Led Zeppelin - In Through The Out Door

Probably my most neglected Led Zep album. Not because there is anything wrong with it but because there are no stand out tracks. Still a great album though. A nice driving album.

also

Iron Maiden - Fear Of The Dark

A classic. So many ace songs. Stand out tracks to me are Fear Of The Dark, Be Quick Or Be Dead and Afraid To Shoot Strangers. UP THE IRONS!

[Devons Daddy]

Little Joshua kaddison
With a few tracks by Damien rice!!
Life is good right now so I can handle his lyrics

SPEKTRMODULE 30 - Not Waking

A selection of ambient tunes compiled by the genius Warren Ellis. This is taken from his website "If you don't know what you're looking at: SPEKTRMODULE is a podcast of haunted, ambient and sleepy music I compile for my own amusement."

Last weekend I was surprised to find that the last few EPs by Burial, normally lazily described as "urban" make the perfect soundtrack to an early morning train journey through a mist shrouded landscape of glacial lakes and picturesque villages on the way up into the Alps.

And here's my Festive Top Ten of 2013. It's really 11, but you're supposed to try and play 8 (quietly) & 9(loudly) simultaneously in separate browser windows to get the proper effect.

Is it okay that I'm watching 8 intently * while doing so?

* for the first time too

Saw a documentary over Xmas hols on British rock.

I looked up Mott the Hoople and am now hooked on 'All the young dudes'.

[CrazyFoxMachine]

Love a bit of Mott Get the whole album of Dudes you'll love it

Warpaint's newie, because it reminds me of the illusory Adult Contemporary Rock genre - Cowboy Junkies, Mazzy Star, that kind of thing - that grown ups hipsters seemed to be into when I was a kid getting into music, and which always seemed to feature in the music segments of The Larry Sanders Show and Letterman.

Hadn't made that connection but I see what you mean. The album's quite pleasant but I find I listen to the first few tracks then sort of zone out.

Really enjoying the new Thee Silver Mt Zion Memorial Orchestra record: some of Godspeed with kind of songs. This is a bit annoying as it means I've unfairly ignored them for years. On the other hand, it means I have years worth of material to check out.

Also, Neneh Cherry's new single.

Jesus, I'm on a couple of days off on leave and this is my second or third post of the day so far(must have caught the bug).
I'm currently listening to a San Fernando punk duo (2 sisters aged 14 and 17) called Dog Party. Absolutely love them; they do a cracking cover of the Ramones tune: Questioningly on Utube.

The Tetrapod Zoology Blog by the genius Darren Naish and John Conway. They just rectified my head canon that Avids are uniquel more Adapted to multi-ecological placements than Mammals during the paleogene, specifically during the Oligocine. Though large predatory birds where dominant during the  Eocene, they virtually died out by thee end of the aforementioned epoch.

Amen ... saw them in Koln back in the nineties... One of the best gigs I've ever been to.  One of their tracks was being played on the radio the other day whilst the presenter was wurbling.  Wanted to scream at them to shut the f*** up and let us hear the music but then I realised I had made it to work so it wouldn't have mattered much anyway!

As an aside, going through a bit of Floyd phase at the moment.  Had a couple of iTunes vouchers for Christmas so trying some of the earlier stuff. 

[Sideshow Bob]

Just saw Tjm86' post and thought I would suggest the Floyds' most excellent collection on : Pink Floyd...The Delicate sound of Thunder..
It's a compilation double album but is absolutely brilliant with nearly all the classics on it and a lot of it 'live'.....Just brilliant and Highly Recommended especially if you have iTunes vouchers to get 'rid off'.

Cheers
