What Are You Listening To - The Reckoning

ELP - Lucky Man (gets the thread off to a great start)

Tricky - Black Steel

I think I prefer the Tricky version to the Public Enemy original

But Chuck D really is something else.

The Who - Won't get fooled again (live)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b3mi-bKtDGA

The climax is just one of those great rock moments.

Pete Townshend is a guitar god.

The Who - Baba O'Riley (same gig as above)

Always reminds me now of that 25 years of Origin vidie which was doing the rounds a while back.

Cracking song.

Shack - Black and White

Len - Famous Blue Raincoat

Judie and Pete Seeger

I think I'm losing my Mojo

Gretchen Wilson:Work Hard,Play Harder

cd by Jawbone I bought in Oxfam

ROCKAMOVYA is a fantastic sound - an unlikely mix of roots reggae, rocksteady and jazz . I can't turn it off my ipod and it improves every time I listen.

As you can see, those chaps at Amazon have been trousering a lot of my hard-earned lately:

• Henry Butler - PiaNOLA Live
• Dixie Dregs - What if
• Kinky Friedman - Sold American
• Los Lobos - Wolf Tracks (compilation)
• Michael Franti & Spearhead - Stay Human
• Louis Prima - Just a Gigolo
• Robbie Robertson - Storyville
• Van Der Graaf Generator - Trisector
• Yello - Stella

Bellowhead.

Basically, they rock in a folky big-band way.

Crosby Stills and Nash - Teach Your Children Well

Nirvana - Where did you sleep last night

I used to vaguely know the guitarist/ vocalist in the white t-shirt. One of us went on to bigger and better things:

It's late enough for this now:

Glen Campbell

Elbow "The seldom Seen Kid". Awsome did not take any notice of them till I saw there Glastonbury set, they just blew me away.

Isaac Hayes - Indianapolis Jazz Fest 1999

Includes an absolutely stonking version of 'Chocolate Salty Balls'.

Add to that Buddy Guy & Stevie Ray Vaughan, 2 of the best playing together.

Various Artists - Dub Colossus in a Town called Addis. Dub meets Ethiopian music, in an excellent and atmospheric album. You can get four high-resolution audio tracks for free from this album, by signing up for a free trial membership of B&W Music Club

Current 'newbies' are the Wombats (Sounds refreshingly like a crashed-out debut album - what it lacks in melody/finesse it makes up for in excitement/energy) and The Ting-Tings (three great tracks, loads of great sonic ideas and a ton of potential. And would'ya lads, would'ya?).

On 'Oldie-rewind' I was listening to the Chameleons 'What does anything mean, basically?' last night.

Fan-bstard-tastic.

I used to vaguely know the guitarist/ vocalist in the white t-shirt. One of us went on to bigger and better things:

I recognise Max and Igor Cavalera of Sepultura.

The bloke in the white t-shirt I don't recognise at all.
