How coincidental! I Should Be So Lucky and It's No Secret just came up next in my random shuffle!

Had friends back for a bottle or two of excellent French white wine - discussed in detail elsewhere.
However, background music was supplied by my trusty iPod, sitting in a dock with small speakers, more than perfectly adequate for the job in question, and playing the immortal and always wonderful Buena Vista Social Club, and - once again my thanks @mobilehaathi for having recommended this to me - but the CD 'Rome' (D Luppi & B Burton) is seriously good listening. Lovely stuff.

I haven't posted in this site forever, but I've been listening to this album on repeat lately. I love Piazzolla
A lovely album - one which is more of a sort of homage really to the musical forms of the jazz age, but one which also displays an utterly confident mastery and a sublime understanding of them of them, as well.
Perhaps, not surprisingly, the album, is called "The Jazz Age" and it is by The Bryan Ferry Orchestra.

An old favourite, but not one I have listened to recently: The album is "Liberty Belle And The Black Diamond Express", the song is "The Wrong Road" (a song I loved the very first minute I heard it all of thirty years ago), and the group are "The Go Betweens".
Speaking of thirty years ago: This morning (and endless afternoon) in the consultant's surgery (where we were compelled to await a few stupid extra hours, to my inexpressible annoyance) I had odd, and vaguely, disjointed thoughts.
Over the tannoy, or radio, I know not which, I heard Queen and their sublime, stunning and strange song Bohemian Rhapsody - a genuinely, earth-shattering classic, and one which was recognised, as such, even at the time - all of exactly forty years ago. Which I remember. And, yes, that single, simple, act gave me pause for thought...

I'm currently listening to "Stephin Merrit", which is a parody of The Magnetic Fields' "Andrew In Drag", on repeat. Instead of falling in love with Andrew, the singer finds himself—despite his sexuality—enamored with the lead singer/songwriter of The Magnetic Fields.
Listening to Pink Floyd's 'Wish You Were Here'
Have not listen to him in a while, thanks for the reminder!

The new Grimes album, Art Angels. Only digital until the 11th.
Another classic, or golden oldie: Ommadawn by Mike Oldfield. The CD arrived this week, - yesterday, in fact, having been ordered a few weeks ago.
Crap, three of my favorite bands dealt major blows in the past three months:
first the untimely passing of Drummer Martin "Kiddie" Kearns from Bolt Thrower in mid-September
then Philthy Phil Taylor drummer of Motorhead passed two weeks ago
just found that out along with...
Hail of Bullets essentially firing vocalist Martin Van Drunen late last week.
I am absolutely ***** gutted.
