A Child is Born - Johnny Mathis
I've had 'the song remains the same' by Led Zep on most days while driving back from work,
also just picked up the Cat Stevens compilation from Tesckyi's lastnight so that as well,
kicking it real old school
My fave 3 bands of the last decade, in no particular order;
The Handsome Family, now sadly past their best.
Boards of Canada; ditto!
Grandaddy - the baddest and sadly missed. Jason Lytle's solo album just ain't doing it for me 🙁
at the mo...
a bit of ACDC
some GREEN DAY
just had a look at the making of rock and roll train on you tube
worth a look
The Field ; Yesterday and today.
Paul White ; The strange dreams of.....
Milanese ; Lockout.
Chinese man ; The groove sessions vol II.

Anyone liking the Fleet Foxes should have a look at the BBC website. Glastonbury Videos section has 30 minutes of their set up, really looking forward to seeing them in september now! Also, Bunnyhop, if you like them, check out [url= http://www.myspace.com/boniver ]Bon Iver[/url] . I'm hoping that some of their set will be up on the BBC too. Playing twice too...

Well, you did ask.
At the mo, for me, its a band called The Rifles. A bit Indie, but great tunes..
Passion Pit is the best thing i've listened to recently
Looking forward to getting my hands on the Florence and the Machine album "Lungs" and some new Sub Focus tracks - Rockit and their mix of Empire of the Sun
Dug out Pyramid Electric Co. by Jason Molina which I'm liking a lot.
Also picked up the recent offerings from Bill Callahan (Sometimes i wish we were an eagle) and Jeffrey Lewis ('Em are I) both of which definitely have their moments.
Also picked up the Pavement Wowee Zowee douple pack re-issue which I missed at the time. Glad I did too...
Trouble in Mind: The Doc Watson Country Blues Collection 1964-1998 is still getting heavy rotation mind.
I'm off to find some Subways (not the crap sandwichs) this morning after seeing them last night. Restored my faith in live music seeing them play.
peter bjorn and john
Friendly Fires
and Mark Ronsons Essential mix that he did for radio 1 a few years back
loving paolo nuttinis new album specifically the tricks of the trade and candy, and ray lamontagnes version of crazy which i have just found on the wonderfull spotify
At the moment Im listening to quite a mixed bag of stuff.
Just downloaded a DJ Premier Mixtape, the 20th Anniversary Rare Play one. Some really good tracks on it from Verbal Threat, KRS-One, Royce 5'9 and Biz Markie.
Also got my hands on a copy of Rob Swifts Turntable Jazz Vol 1 which is very good, as well as Petestrumentals by Pete Rock and a DJ Mitsu Breaks and Beats album. All good chilled out jazzy hip-hop turntablism stuff.
Also been listening to a lot of abstract trip hop/turntablism from the likes of DJ Vinroc, Leaf, DJ Signify and DJ Egadz. Great if you like older Shadow and Krush stuff.
Other stuff is mostly rock/metal/progressive stuff, bands like Miss May I, Constants, Leo Project, Maylene And The Sons Of Disaster, Blood Stain Child, Killswitch Engage, Vs The Ocean, Underneath The Gun.
DJ Signify, have the creepy one on Lex, love that. Has he done much else?
Ive got an album called Of Cities (which has a brilliant track featuring Aesop Rock called Low Tide) and No Sleep More both by Signify, not sure if they are the ones you have.
Also forgot to mention Evil9, their album You Can Be Special Too is absolutely excellent, some fantastic breakbeat stuff.

Anything Jo Whiley tells me.....
Currently expelling my earwax with Anaal Nathrakh - Constellation of the Black Widow.
That cycantific song empty streets is great whoever reccomended that.
For me it is :
Lone - My favorite artist EVER and probably allways will be, every one should hear this guy in my opinion. - http://www.myspace.com/lonemusic
Leatherettes - Makes j Dilla aetc sound like ammateurs
Nosaj Thing - wierd orchestral dance?
and a Claude Von stroke mix cd that came with mix mag ages ago...
Christ on a pogo stick, reading through this second page I'm feeling like Bunnyhop, there's so much stuff I've never heard of, which just goes to prove how diverse music can be, and just how much there is out there to discover. So little time, so little money...
Black Flag, Rancid, NoFX/Rancid split EP, Wintersleep (Orca from "Seasons" DVD) and the new Today is the Day album...for some extra rage 🙂

THE RIVER ... sheer class
is a dream a lie if it don't come true or is it something worse ?
Currently binging on late 90's drum n bass and trying to spread my tentacles a little further into dubstep and electro, oh and, quite worryingly, gabba :/
Tonight I've listened to Curved Air, (bought today), Indigo Girls 'Poseidon and the Bitter Pill', Rodrigo et Gabriella, and Devon Sproul '!Don't hurry for Heaven!'. All very fine stuff indeed.
Last few albums I've had on:
Louden Wainwright III - Attempted Moustache
Captain Beefheart & the Magic Band - The Spotlight Kid / Clear Spot
Big Brother and The Holding Company - Cheap Thrills
The Seeds - The Seeds (just discovered these guys)
David Bowie - The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and....
The Shins - All of their albums
Band of Horses - Cease to Begin
Martha Wainwright - I know your Married But ....
Miles Davis - Kind of Blue
MC5 - Kick Out The Jams
Herb Alpert and the Tijuana Brass Band - Whipped Cream and Other Delights
I love these threads, kind of out of touch with what's happening music wise out here and I've been downloading furiously thanks to this thread!

Just driven back up from Cheltenham and couldn't get enough of Audioslave and their Out of Exile CD...........absolutely fab driving music. Didn't take me long to get home!!!
At the moment it's a band called Flogging Molly.
