What Are You Listening To At The Moment?

Johnny Marr's album.

 

Always a bit annoying when this happens - you try and get in to an album before the gig so you enjoy it, doesn't really happen, then weeks after the gig you finally get right in to the album. Some great tracks on this.

 

This one's a favourite, although it's probably to do with how good it sounded live:

New Town Velocity is worth a listen too.

Dunno if its been mentioned already or even how old it is, but stumbled upon Bastille's album 'Bad Blood' last week. Absolutely love it and best album iv heard in yonks.

Bastille are tipped to be huge this year. Not heard their atuff yet but will check it out. My favourite new acts at the moment are Frightened Rabbit and Palma Violets.

Went to see OMD at the Roundhouse last night. Top evening!

Been listening to quite a bit of Paul Weller lately, hoping to go along and see him at Edinburgh Castle in July! Wild Wood and Stanley Road are favourites.

 

Maybe a wee bit unusual, but I've been listening to Hugh Laurie's new album, Didn't It Rain over the last few days. Thoroughly enjoyed the first release and love his passion for the genre he's covering, really comes over. He's got a decent singing voice and there's a few interesting guest vocalists.

"In a country lacerated by the sharp shards of broken brown-eyed promises, in a world bent low by the burden of disease, war and the price of Thunderbird, who is left to make full account of God and Britain's depleted moral mini bar? Yes, it's the surprising adventures of me, Sir Digby Chicken Caesar!"

Couple of absolutely tremendous songs but the rest is generic tripe. Could be hit or miss.

 

For anyone who likes genuine talent, check out Mike Masse on YouTube. Sings in a pizza shop but some of his cover versions are unbelievably good. His versions of Africa by Toto and No Rain by Blind Melon are pretty special. I reckon he'd be huge if he didn't look like Bill Bailey.

Exactly what I thought, think I've downloaded 2 songs from Bad Blood, but the rest I just thought, 'nah'.

 

I'm absolutely loving Breton and Dutch Uncles at the moment.

Agree with this - really don't see what the hype is about other than one or two decent songs. Plama Violets are the same - indie music that has all been done before and a lot better at that. To me they sound like a poor mans Cribs!

Laurie's a second rate actor and a tenth rate musician, his covers are the palest shadows of the originals and would be ignored if he wasn't a semi famous tv 'personality'. You might gather from that I don't rate him too highly. :D

 

So I'll listen instead to six of the best:-

 

Laura Nyro : Gibsom Street

 

Moondog: Stomping Ground

 

Little Willie John: Need Your Love So Bad

 

Rising Sons: Statesboro Blues

 

Diana Krall: East of The Sun and West of The Moon

 

Johnny Winter: Riot in Cell Block No 9

Bloody hell, it says a lot when I have to scroll down to page 2 to find this thread.

 

Tho' to be fair, if I was posting everything that I was listening to, I would be posting every day.

 

Tonight I've been listening to The Guillemots, Cast and Kraftwerk.
