What Are You Listening To - The Reckoning

A lot of Belle and Sebastian for some reason.

Throw in a bit of Eblow and that's been for last week or so.

Not givin up by Natasha Bedingfield.

I've not really listened to anything else all week.

I really didn't think they had another great album in them, but it's an outstanding piece of work IMO.

hmm - not convinced yet, though will give it another listen or two. It's a beast though innit - most tracks 7 mins plus?

Sounds curiously Slayer-like in places, especially some of Hetfield's vocals.

Roy and HG on Triple J.

Love 'em.

Sounds curiously Slayer-like in places, especially some of Hetfield's vocals.

That would probably be the Rick Rubin influence.

I'm currently moving onto TV on the Radio's new album, currently on their Myspace page. It's some very good stuff and I suspect I'll be getting this album shortly.

NuYorican Soul's self-titled album, followed by Incognita - Tribes, Vibes and Scribes. Good, uplifting stuff that puts a smile on your face.

Angel in the night- Basshunter

hmm - not convinced yet, though will give it another listen or two. It's a beast though innit - most tracks 7 mins plus?

It certainly is. It's almost as if they've gone back to And Justice For All and picked up where they left off in that respect.

Sounds curiously Slayer-like in places, especially some of Hetfield's vocals.

That struck me in one or two moments on the album too.

Summer's on it's way

So this makes perfect listening

I have to listen to a song over and over again to get it out of my head. Currently I have two for some reason. Totally random too.

This one which is obviously a cover.

and

This one

I must have listened to these about 20 times each in the last two days. In a couple of days it'll be a different one (or two).

From the same site, Joni Mitchell - The Seeding of Summer Lawns. Demos for The Hissing Of Summer Lawns, in simpler arrangements and interestingly different.

Fleet foxes - White Winter Hymnal

Bon Iver - Skinny Love

I think I'll grow a beard, not sure if it will help me play guitar any better....but it works for these guys!

3 great performances from Jools hollands show. All 3 were people/bands I had never heard of, but made me go out and buy their albums.

Seasick Steve

K T Tunstall

(her first UK Tv performance and a last minute booking on the show...and she nails it)

The Darkness

(completely daft, but infectious! I changed channels and caught this..first thoughts were 'what the f...')

Just arrived in the post...

Track 6: Bunny Sigler - Theme from 'Five Fingers of Death' is seriously mental.

On my walk just listened to the Nowhere album by Ride

Is there a better outro to a song than this?

http://fr.youtube.com/watch?v=1hlzJi9XCJE

Followed it up with the first disc of the Pulse album by Pink Floyd with Sam Brown (always had a thing for her) wailing in the background.

Crazyhead - Have love will travel

http://fr.youtube.com/watch?v=B3CQRaQaPkc

I think it is probably better live and following drink.

Pressure Drop - Toots and the Maytals

http://fr.youtube.com/watch?v=eATaV2umnEs

Possibly my favourite song!

And also possibly my favourite cover - the Clash
