[Closed] Tonight I am mostly listening to...

Right now its Ben Folds, very soon to be Galactic

Bibio at the moment, then maybe some Yo La Tengo. Or might go rooting in the drawers for some long lost gem.

Listening to some forgotten gems doesn't half make you realise how gash the majority of music is nowadays.

The mighty Mogwai, Government Commissions.

Frank Sinatra while cooking Lamb chops n roasties...yumyum

Oh crapola, I can't think of anything niche enough to listen to and post about!!!

Oooh, Mogwai 🙂 Might put some of that on then. The majority of music has always been gash Goan. Sometimes it feels like picking diamonds out of faeces with your teeth, but it's always worth it 🙂

the majority of music has always been gash

Rammstein

Following on from last nights listen

Brian Setzers Christmas CD (it's ACE) while putting up decs drinking egg nog (well, advocaat really!!!)

Mogwai is a quality shout.

Sellotape and christmas paper , wtf?

Paul Weller - BBC Sessions.

And it's a week night so I'm not drinking: therefore I'll not tell you that this Pinot is really quite delicious...

On to this now

Eno & Byrne - My Life In The Bush of Ghosts.

Bibio is the best mentioned yet in My humle opinion.

Ive been listening to Atmosphere. Its real hip hop.

Goan - Premier Member

yeah, if all you bother to listen to is daytime Radio 1 or crap commercial stations. If, on the other hand, you're prepared to actually invest some time and [i]effort[/i] in looking further afield than the record rack in Tescos, then you'll discover more fantastic music than you could possibly find time to listen to.
But then you'll have no reason to sit there whining like some old grandad that “all music's crap nowadays, it ain't like itwas in my day, yada yada yada..."
I've put long lists of really good artist in posts on here recently, which have had responses like “are these names real or made up?". Buy [i]The Word[/i] magazine and listen to the sample cd, listen to Lauren Lavern and Cerys Matthews on 6Music; they play a fantastic range of great music. Just don't snivel that there's no good music when there quite clearly is.
Oh, and at the moment I'm listening to A Camp, (Nina Persson of The Cardigans side project), then I may be listening to Kris Delmhorst, or The Duckworth Lewis Method, or possibly Tokyo Police Club, or maybe Low Anthem, or Joan As Police Woman, or The New Pornographers, or Gemma Hayes, or Andrew Bird, or Lisa Hannigan, or Stars, or XTC, or...
I dunno, I've got a couple of hundred cd's close by, I'll just see how the mood takes me.

mental and yet educational at the same time!

Goan didn't say all music was crap and to be fair if you listen to most radio stations most of the time then most of it is crap. I like what Maconie and Radcliffe play on their show, good mix of old and new. In the last year I've really like Leisure Society and Teitur which I discovered on said show. Jools Holland also good for discovering new stuff like Imelda May and VV Brown and going back further Seasick Steve. Listening to rage Against the machine just now for what its worth.

Nice rant xipe, but I don't think anyone said [b]all[/b] current stuff was poor.

Nice set from The Low Anthem at the Newport Folk Festival on NPR in case you missed it. The Gillian Welch set from the same event's a cracker too.

POD at them momentbut LASt.fm has been dropping some massive beats tonight 😀

Sufjan Stevens' christmas song
