Digging the new Marilyn Manson......... "Third day of a seven day binge" is my current favorite song on the album.
An evening with Philip Glass, which included a number of pieces from 'Glassworks', as well as several from 'Dancepieces', a few from the soundtrack which he wrote for the movie 'The Hours'.
A number of CDs (yes, I still buy them) arrived today and yesterday by post. As I was attending meetings, I had an opportunity to pay a swift visit to a decent bricks-and-mortar store which sells stuff which is related to music, such as headphones, CDs, speakers, and so on.
Purchases from yesterday included a few by The Beatles' - 'Rubber Soul', 'Sgt Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band', 'Abbey Road', and my personal favourite, the 'White' album, all on (digitally remastered) CD. The other album of theirs which I rate highly, 'Revolver', I already have.
I had hoped to buy some relatively obscure albums by Ennio Morricone, but, alas, they had nothing by him.
So, off to buy some more Philip Glass. Specifically, I was looking for 'Akhnaten', but ended up buying a triple album - which has quite a number of works that I don't already have on it - called, not too surprisingly, 'The Essential Philip Glass'.
Meanwhile, the post brought a few welcome albums from Cesaria Evora, three albums - CDs - called 'Café Atlantico', 'Cabo Verde', and 'Miss Perfumado'. This is music I hadn't heard of until a few weeks ago, when I asked a taxi driver about the music he was playing, and it turned out that it was Cesaria Evora.
Another CD that awaited me on my return was the soundtrack from the BBC TV series 'Wolf Hall' composed by Debbie Wiseman, and this is what I am actually listening to just now.
I'm So Afraid- Fleetwood Mac
Live version on the album "The Chain". Beautiful song.

That is a terrific album - I bought it (after reading a number of excellent reviews) two years ago. In essence, it seems to me to be a sort of homage to the music of the classical jazz era, the sort of homage only someone well versed in the music of that era (and a first rate musician himself) could offer.
Lovely listening.
Matchbox Twenty. Album is Mad Season. Owned this for years, but this is the first time in a long while that I have sat down to listen to this cd. Rob Thomas has such a unique voice.
Free - All Right Now Live. RIP Andy Fraser who passed away a few days ago at the age of 62. He was a great bass player.
Listening to something a little different:
The Glitch Mob: Love Death Immortality
I am digging the hell out of it!

I've been listening to softer music with Hammock lately. Most of my music is instrumental.
