What Song Are You Listening To Right Now?™

[Fondue]

Listening to Island by Colin MacIntyre. Lovely stuff.

[scribble]

Christ. - Distance Lends Enchantment To The View

After listening to it a couple of times and making comparisons with some Boards Of Canada stuff (it's much more beat heavy than BoC, but the synth pads and swashes of noise that accompany the tracks will seem familiar) I realised that it's the guy who worked on Twoism, one of the early BoC albums.

Well worth listening to considering it's on Spotify.

Christ.'s great- you'll probably like Frog pocket, too.

Take Me With You by Prince. Got to be one of the best intros ever.

[Fragmaster]

Waits, Christmas Card From A Hooker In Minneapolis, with Silent Night as the intro Great song though

[Streets_Disciple]

Modern classical heads, get on this.

[Belbo]

Listening to the Howlin' Wolf anthology this afternoon:

[Merethe]

It's the same version of Piggy that is on the "And All That Could Have Been" (Halo 17) DVD from 2002. Trent is giving it all he's got.

(I love how he even hits himself on the head with his mike in this clip, hehe, he is well into it)

[Ciara]

Last band I saw live, bloody yonks ago. Playing in London in March, can't wait.

[SeanR]

[merge]

Grippers nother onesers

Olde English Spelling Bee is a true goldmine

[Pekoe]

Mojave 3 - Caught Beneath Your Heel

Some lovely gospel background singing.

[Quest]

Red House Painters - Katy Song

[Silent Runner]

Cody Chesnutt - Look Good in Leather.

[Count Buffalos]

I'd forgotten how much I came to intensely dislike the Red House Painters. I bought the first couple of lps on release, and then they somehow stopped sounding good to me, turning into a load of empty, although pretty, nonsense. It was very odd, they were kind of my ideal band at the time - there was a sort of indie competition to see who could play the slowest songs, bands like Codeine, Red House Painters and Idaho, and RHP were certainly the most tuneful of the lot. I can't remember the singers name (Mark someone?) but is his solo stuff in the same vein?

[Quest]

No idea. I only really like the first album, to be honest.

Yes.

[Count Buffalos]

Ok. Well to contribure something positive, I'm currently trying to work out my top 20 of the decade's best albums, so currently listened to tracks from stuff I'm considering:

All Night Long - Sun Araw - awesome, droney West Coast / dub / soul tinged psychedelia. A really listenable mess from the Heavy Deeds album.

The Bees Made Honey In The Lions Skull - Earth - the stand out track of the same titled album. A warm, droney fuzz that gradually builds to nothing much at all.

[FuzzyDunlop]

Very Underworld-esque.

[Joyrex-J9]

[Liamness]

Was listening to a Shadow mix, led me to this;

'Who's your daddy?'

[merge]

[Mr Do 71]

Oh yeah. That's the kind of track that would pop up on the John Peel show, after playing the latest Melt Banana etc..

[Basement St. Thomas]

Humming by Portishead.

[MojoChin]

Idlewild - I Don't Have The Map

Brings me back to that blissful summer of house parties when I was 17. What a time that was. I wish I was back there now.
