What are you listening to? Part III

[Scepticalscribe]

Actually, for now, I will forego Baroque and - indeed - The Beatles.

A CD - 'Good Company" by The Dead South - which awaited me on my return home (recommended by two colleagues, one French, the other British) is what I am now listening to.

Followed by.....

Thought bubble...... wouldn't it be cool to be able to shuffle albums in their entirety, instead of just being able to shuffle individual songs?

This LP is awesome. That is all.

Have you listened to Paul McCartney’s album “New”? I highly reminded that recording, it is amazing!

I haven’t but you inspired me. I’ve been passively leery of post 1990 ex-Beatle stuff, though I’ve heard good reviews.

I checked and my library lends digital copies of the album proper, a 14 song deluxe version and a 7 song EP(?). When I get home I’ll download the deluxe version and, while I’m at it, his collaboration with producer Niles (?) Godrich. I love his work with Travis, Radiohead, R.E.M. (on the aforementioned “Up”), and Beck.

And now, another strange CD (also recommended by colleagues - the same ones who recommended The Dead South); this is Steve 'n' Seagulls and their album "Farm Machine". Weirdly compelling.

Those wacky Finns with their country covers! Definately an entertaining bunch of northern rednecks.

"Nothing Else Matters" is seriously good.

Great videos, too.

And, agreed, very entertaining.

Okay: Ostinato - Hèsperion XXI has also served to distract me, as has Monteverdi: Vespro Della Beata Vergine - Dixit Dominus (With Plainchant Antiphons).

I wouldn't really consider myself a fan of the band but this eight year-old kid is amazing (and exuberant in many other of her videos)

that kid needs a beard, beer and barflipz to really be Bonzie!

Robert Plant seems to think otherwise!

I’ve opened the all glass doors and listening to the morning birds chatting up a storm. The damn blue jays (blue crows) could move along though.

I get woken by a blackbird most mornings. He is very loud!

Busy wooing a potential mate, I suspect.

i was listening to that after I posted your reply, and 3 songs grew on me, the album takes a few listening to realize how great and original Paul is. i think i got the cd at the library.

Marking his territory we think. He has a large female friend. We call her Mrs Fatbird.

Monteverdi: Zefiro Torna, E Di Soavi Accenti, and Laetatus Sum. Among others.

 

[D.T.]

Probably my favorite band.

I'm a huge fan as well, always musically present as I grew up - saw them live just after they released their first EP, Chronic Town - I still remember how unique the sound was at the time, before the big Athens surge, in 80-82 I was listening to The Jam, The Clash, various punk (DK, Circle Jerks), my go to for prog (King Crimson, Genesis).

I hate that noise. Even with thick sound isolating windows their stupid chirping wakes me up at 4-5 in the morning. Sometimes I just want to load some blank shot and fire at a tree. I'm tempted to use an airhorn as a last measure.

 

[LizKat]

Got this on heavy rotation. Pasting it wherever I (still) have an account.

 

[Scepticalscribe]

For some odd reason, - @LizKat and @mobilehaathi (along with @chown33 and @thekev) and one or two others, such as the wonderful @Renzatic who no longer grace us with their presence - might understand this, but, for some strange, inexplicable reason, I just needed to listen to Pachelbel's Canon this evening (or rather, this morning).
