The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars is playing in the background while reading my book.
Ian Anderson, Divinities : Twelve Dances with God
What a beautiful album cover.
Do you recommend it? Does it sound as well as it looks?
I'm sure you'd find it pleasantly useful while pecking away at the keyboard.
It's not the usual fare from the prolific Anderson. Light classical, Indian influences, almost new-age at times but quickly returns to subtle intricacies, flute led.
"Flute-led"? That I like, and always have.
Sounds interesting, must look into it further. Thanks for your kind response and thoughtful recommendation.
A sixties classic: Desmond Dekker & The Aces with "The Israelites".
Sweet!
Love the Israelites.

Ah, in the mood for some Philip Glass?
While I love his stuff, I am not sure that I wish to be encouraged to contemplate even bleaker futures, which is what sometimes happens when I listen to his music.
Well, it's excellent to listen to with full attention, but, as I've mentioned a few times before, I also find it excellent music to listen to when I need to concentrate and focus on detailed work.
An old favourite, one that is soothing, yet serious, and quite wonderfully deep.
The piece of music - quite a beautiful piece - goes by the name of "Spiritual". It comes from an album called "Beyond the Missouri Sky", and it comes to you courtesy of the wonderful duo of Charlie Haden & Pat Metheny.

Listening to 'Automatic for the People' by R.E.M.
R.E.M. are excellent - I have a few of their albums (on my iTunes).
Meanwhile, listening to "The Stolen Child" by The Waterboys.
Inspired by the trailer for "Guardians of the Galaxy 2".

Oh, wow, wonderful.
Thank you for that. I hadn't heard that track for years. Actually, no, I haven't heard it for decades.
Hot damn! Thank you for this. Just what the Doctor ordered!

Music to check canned goods inventory by... we’ve another storm incoming tomorrow and Saturday, so it seemed like a good idea to make sure I actually have on hand what I tend to assume I have by this time of late autumn. So that’s a boring job... definitely needs some energetic music. Manu Chao!
