    I’ve just got on vinyl a new pressing of Aim- Coldwater music. Love it. Updated my phono preamp to a decent Cambridge one too.

    Also enjoying my Don Letts Late Night Tales.

    Ghosts of Men – A two piece that I caught at the wee Jägermeister stage at Bloodstock earlier this year. Just brilliant! Great guys too.

    An Evening with Silk Sonic.

    Collaboration of Bruno Mars and Anderson Paak, 30 minutes of perfect R&B funk.

    I tend to do the whole listen to one album on repeat for weeks thing, and wring every single little gasp of pleasure out of it. Currently alternating between :

    Marina – Ancient Dreams in a Modern Land
    Garbage – Strange Little Birds
    Primal Scream – Screamadelica
    Prodigy Presents – The Dirtchamber Sessions
    The Jezabels – The Brink

    Will maybe swap out one or two of them for something I’ve not listened to in a while in a week or so.

    Listening to a lot of electronic music recently, Perpetual Loop and Joey Fehrenbach are becoming firm favourites.

    This evening I’ve listened to Górecki Symphony No 3, by Lisa Gerrard and the Genesis Orchestra, followed by David Bowie ‘Toy’, that was released today. It’s about four or five albums worth of music, including ’Toy’, which he recorded straight after his Glastonbury show with the same band. He wanted it released immediately, but his record company refused it. Shame, it’s bloody good!

    The whole thing is called ‘Brilliant Adventure 1992-2001’.

    And as a complete contrast, I’ve just started listening to the latest album by Dead Sara, ‘Ain’t It Tragic’. Very loud poppy rock, and I’m really enjoying it.

    still listening regularly to the one Murder Capital album they brought out (c’mon lads, its been a while hey?)

    also Idles 4th album ‘Crawler’ is growing on me now after initially not liking it. i think i just wanted 12 X Danny Nedelko’s, but this ones a tough listen that rewards you if you stick with it, and you just keep hearing new bits each play. theyre evolving/growing up.

    Sweet baby Jesus, that’s a change of pace. 😳

    I can’t listen to Symphony no3 without crying. It’s the most heartbreaking piece of music ever recorded. I might have a listen today, the sling some Half Man Half Biscuit on straight after it

    Happened across an Australian band called ‘Parcels’ on Spotify this afternoon and listened to at least two albums whilst I spent some time in the workshop this afternoon.

    Think it was @jimjam who switched me onto Elder via some thread here years ago.
    This just popped up in my feed:

    Really like what I’ve heard so far, and it seems a good fit for a collaboration.

    Very much in the vein (derivative?) of Motorpsycho’s ‘Death Defying Unicorn’ collaboration with Ståle Storløkken & Trondheim Jazz Orchestra which is no bad thing.

    Proving again that I’ll be a sucker for some wholesome heavy prog from time to time.

    Also this (hilarious and awesome at once):

    Also Converge have just relesed a new album with Chelsea Wolfe which is wonderfully doomy

    I haven’t checked this thread out for a week or so, so I missed the above, but by a strange and spooky coincidence, my mate mentioned he’d just got it while we were in the pub last night, so I downloaded it and listened to some of it when I got home, plus I downloaded some of Chelsea Wolfe’s stuff because her voice interests me, and I also downloaded and listened to some Sibelius and listened to ‘Finlandia/Karelia Suite’.

    All a bit of a contrast.

    Dungen – ‘Ta det lugntk’

    I’ve been feeling nostalgic and for some reason this old near-forgotten favourite from 2004 reappeared in my loaf today. Punched it into Tidal and now enjoying in beautiful gnarly hi-fi for the first time and it feels like time-travel. So many great tunes on this one album! Such an embarrassment of musical talent, and the songs cover a wide range of moods and tempos yet somehow it all hangs together just perfectly.

    Funny how you can tell exactly what some bands sound like without even listening to them 😀 Maybe thats a good thing for fans of the genre?!

    I just got Lonely Guest on vinyl. It’s a lovely thing https://falseidols.bandcamp.com/album/lonely-guest
    Joe off of Idles is the guest on this one

    Probably a bit wild for most folk, but i have had Brand Of Sacrifice’s latest album on quite regularly. Its Deathcore, so an acquired taste, but it just makes the hair stand up on the back of my neck. Its hard to describe, but it just makes me want to move, jump around and get pumped for life!

    Morgan Wade – Reckless

    Danko Jones  – Power Trio

    JJ Wilde – Wilde (EP), Born to Die (EP), Ruthless (LP)

    Beartooth – Below

    A fabulous recent discovery for me is Joan as Policewoman – not sure how I missed her but I also think she is vastly underated anyway.

    I discovered her when she played at the Tony Allen retrospective recently at Royal Festival Hall, which was organised by Damon Albarn and was the singularly most barnstorming, wonderful gig I’ve ever been at.

    On that point, I’ve also recently been really enjoying Fela Kuti and the whole Afrobeats scene.

    Other top picks are Iron & Wine, Laura Marling, Emiliana Torrini, Agnes Obel, Jesca Hoop, Sons of Kemet, The Comet is Coming and Manu Katche.

    However a few albums really stand out as exemplary:

    Wax Tailor – The Shadow of their Suns is an absolute banger! Utterly brilliant and orignal in the mould of Avalanches meets Tricky’s Maxinquae.
    Chloe – Endless Revisions is a superb blend of electronic, dance and techno wrapped up in a very cool downbeats package.
    Beirut – The Flying Cup Club – so original it’s hard to classify but I guess it sits in that very cool current fusion of folk, indie/rock, alternative folk genre.

    Good call. NP: Aerial M – as performed by.

    Funny how you can tell exactly what some bands sound like without even listening to them 😀

    I dunno, “gore” would normally be associated with more reckless playing, not necessarily something as technical or given to sudden string quartets as GG.

    Some things I’ve downloaded just recently after hearing them on 6Music are Japanese Breakfast, something new from Cat Power, a new Christmas themed EP from St Etienne, and the first tracks released from Big Thief’s new album, which I’m looking forward to listening to, as they’re playing Bristol next year – I first saw them at Green Man, then soon after heard them on 6Music, and they’re now getting a lot of attention.
    Something else I came across is an album by Jakko M Jakszyk, Robert Fripp & Mel Collins, ‘A Scarcity of Miracles’, two original members of King Crimson and their current guitarist/singer. Lovely album, somewhat jazzy, very easy to listen late at night.
