Whatcha listening to?

(new vols couldn't be more dope!)

Am now backpedaling a bit... Seems to be a bit more freak folk type stuff on there than in past FY volumes. A bit disappointed actually.

However, there weren't rumoured to be any more of these coming so they are still a treat.

noisettes - what's the time mr wolf (They're playing the Rise gig on Sunday, wanted to see if they were worth watching, so far it's a pretty mediocre attempt at being the Yeah Yeah Yeahs. Might still go to the gig anyway to see St Etienne & Kelis. If it's not raining.)
out hud - one life to leave EP
go! Team - grip like a vice EP
screamin' jay hawkins - voodoo jive
screaming trees - clairvoyance

Oooh, Kelis.

Ry Cooder

In my CD changer now:

Ackercocke Antichrist (Earache)
Bellamy Brothers Jesus In Coming (Curb)
Big & Rich Between Raising Hell And Amazing Grace (Warner Bros.)
The Eat It's Not The Eat, It's The Humidity (Alternative Tentacles)
Maghrebika Neftakhir (Barraka El Farnaishi)

(oops, Jesus IS Coming.)

Outrider (1988), Jimmy Page ...
...& "et al" ...incl., amongst many, Barrymore Barlow on drums, among others ...tho wot did JP need Barlow for, considering the general rigidness of teh rhtyhms, well that does escape me ...a coupla good tracks all in all, as it is ...and Chris Farlow's entrance in/to "Prison Blues" is quite fun ...otherwise, not exactly as abominable as Page's dickless collab with the dicklessss Coverdale, but ...nuff said, perhaps, already)

Is Plant on a couple of cuts of that, or am I totally misremembering?

Ornette!
Sam "The Man" Taylor, Swingsation!

Sounds from a Bygone Age vol. 3 - Dona Dumitru Siminica (fucking outstanding Romanian folk-pop from the 60s)

Wings demo session - McCartney as overbearing ringleader but *damn* are they tight on "jet"/"Maybe I'm amazed"/ etc....

Guess he knew what he was doing.

Wow. Just reread the rest of the listening on this thread. Is everyone on a McCartney kick 2nite or wot?

Oh, wait. That was Saturday ; )

I have been listening to heaps of jazz lately. Like these things, which I've mostly listened to at work or picked up within the last week:

Hyphy Hitz
Motorhead - Bastards

(I know nothing about jazz, sorry!)

Wow. Just reread the rest of the listening on this thread. Is everyone on a McCartney kick 2nite or wot?
