Noteeth - Meg, aw, I'd have loved to have seen that!
Did you catch Gillian on her recent tour?
Must admit to Hyperballad being a fave too.
You heard the last couple of Bill Callahan albums? He just gets better and better (not that smog was crap like)
Last Night I Dreamt That Somebody Loved Me - The Smiths.
Hometown Glory - Adele.
No Surprises - Radio Head.
There are so many for me, music is for me the easiest way to charge the emotions. Plenty of gigs have been special, but I think my favourtite was Bon Iver covering I believe in you by Talk Talk. Incredible doesn't even come close. The most moving piece of music I have doesn't even have a name, it's just a couple of bars of heavily reverbed acoustic guitar hidden away on an old Sebadoh 7". I haven't listened to it for 15 years and have no idea why it has such power, but merely thinking about it absolutely shreds me. And that's why I love music 🙂
Not a very good version though
was played at the funeral of family member who was very very loved, not a dry eye in the house, still find it hard.
Meg, aw, I'd have loved to have seen that!
She was great. The gig was in a fleapit cinema (Bristol's much-loved [url= http://www.cubecinema.com/cubewebsite/ ]Cube[/url]), which just added to the atmosphere. Two good support acts - one of which I can only describe as Dead Can Dance doing Boards of Canada cover versions, if that makes any sense....
Bill: he does indeed, aging well.
Gillian: no, gutted... Also wish I'd - somehow - caught [url= http://www.iowrock.demon.co.uk/clearspot/gillianw.htm ]this[/url] gig, a few years back!
Richpenny: well put.
Noteeth, I kick myself for not stumping up the £25 to see them as support for Mary ChapinbloodyCarpenter around HATY era. I mean I could've just left after them...
Made the trip this time to see them at the Hammersmith Apollo which was just sooooooo good.
RichPenny - great tip for that TalkTalk cover. Must have been incredible at the gig.
The dublin bootleg seems to be the best one I found on youtube
I luv Bon Iver, he was amazing at Glasto a couple of years ago. Last album is so lush, love Perth
Perth + 1, but I think my favourite at the moment, is the rather cheezier Beth/Rest 😉
Hints of Pink Floyd - division bell on it.
I mean I could've just left after them...
My standard post-ride routine is to laze around in my muddy kit, drink tea/beer, listen to her, think about the deep & dark woods... One day I'll write a letter about it, Eminem [i]Stan[/i] stylee - "Gillian, you are the sound of loamy singletrack in the pines, etc etc" 😉
the rather cheezier Beth/Rest
I reckon he's channeling The Eagles at that point.... As an ex-archaeologist, I greatly admire the use of 'Holocene' as a song title.
Noteeth, that's just plain twisted and weird. I like! 😯
Not a bon iver fan but that cover definitely has something. Hmm I should dig out the last album and mebbe give, it oh, it's third listen...
that's just plain twisted and weird. I like!
STW Noteeth, he lived alone
In them hollarin' pines
Then he built a niche bike for himself
Said it helped pass the time
Arvo Part +1
Duncan Brown - Journey +1
I give you Daniel Johnston - Somethings Last A Long Time
Alicia Keys - If I Aint Got You
That's lovely Ernie
He's just been on radio 1, but this Tim Minchin song has always been a favourite. And now I have a daughter, it makes me all emotional too, which is a bit pathetic 🙂
i can listen to this all day - Forbidden Colours by Ryuichi Sakamoto
i couldn't remember it for ages, but wanted to find it again, so [url= http://singletrackworld.com/forum/topic/long-shot-japanese-piano-music-its-famous ]i asked on stw[/url] - within 15 mins there was the video.
🙂

by Radiohead just makes me feel that If It all ended tommorow It would all be cool .
Do NOT listen to this song if you're feeling down, it WILL make you cry, it is that beautiful.
An Olive Grove Facing the Sea by Snow Patrol.
I'd never really listened to Regina Spektor, til I wandered into a tent at a festival just at the start of this song, and ended up bawling my eyes out by the end. No,[i] this[/i] is how it works.
Always found [url=
fairly sad and Inspiring at the same time.
Wait till he writes a song for Clarence.
I find this moving to the point of disturbing
😕 😡 ❗ 😯
and for good measure 😥
I've tried to think of something. But I wouldn't listen to music if it wasn't moving or inspirational. So do I list [i]everything?[/i]
I'll have to reduce it to 2 that come immediately to mind.
Joy Division - Atmosphere (Ian Curtis, John Peel. Say no more)
Rolling Stones - Gimme Shelter (voice, guitar)
This album was a pivotal point in our families relationship, for some reason lots of things happened around that time, this album always seemed to be on in the background.
I'm gonna dedicate "Follow You, Follow Me" to my Cousin Andrew, Most deffo RIP bud.
