But this just *rolls*...it's great

I have a lot of time for this song.
Been playing a lot of REM on the guitar and this one is stonkingly beautiful.

My current favourite - love the drum sound on this

are my current faves.....

I was listening to their session on Radcliffe and Maconie last week on my iPod DAB adapter in a pub in Manchester city centre. Walking from the Vine to the Hare and Hounds through the cold, empty streets of Manchester as Guy sang this in my ears will go down as "a moment."

From their new album. Spot on.

From the "From The Inland Sea" EP

This is a live version, which is quite long, but its a beautiful piece of post rock nonetheless, I seem to have been listening to it a fair bit recently.

except mine, but I love Copenhagen of Lucinda William's new CD Blessed.

It's coincidental with my current favourite TV programme The Killing being based there, not because of it.

edit: I couldn't add this from work, so here it is now

honourable mentions to Adele, Noah & the Whale and the new single by The Vaccines.

aussie lad just saw him and this one has stuck in the mind

Elbow's wonderful "Dear Friends".

Hairs on back of neck, etc.

Great live, too.

This is simultaneously brilliant and hilarious.

.. 'Chicken Payback.'

Working way through box set

do Wings!

Do you think that the Easy Star All-Stars, as great as they are, have heard this? I suspect so.

Such a brilliant record.

Or anything from her latest album - Let England Shake. It's an absolute corker from top to bottom. At last, something from Polly Jean I can enthusiastically shout about.

my Scotland v Wales thread:

Bit of Northern is good for anyone!

going through a bit of a Police phase. 'Walking On The Moon' is on heavy rotation right now.

(NSFW)

Also more votes for P.J. Harvey & Elbow. Both marvellous albums.

by the Decemberists

sublime.

Sonic's Rendezvous Band - City Slang

Final Form. Hat doffed to Dr Volume for the recommendation.

OK, they can't spell their own name properly, but this is stuck in my head at the minute

Looking forward to seeing them on tour in May

Peace piece by Bill Evans. From the wonderfully titled 'Everybody digs Bill Evans' album

Beady Eye - For Anyone

Beady Eye - The Beat Goes On

Thoroughly enjoying this album

Neal Casal. One word...Brilliant

Really liking this - anyone know when it's out to buy?

*Sorry, this was meant to be under the Burial track.

Not really a track, but really enjoying the new music to the Pet Shop Boys The Most Incredible Thing ballet, which was out this week.

Jerry Garcia & Howard Wales play funky motherfuckers

Here from the RAH. I was obsessed with this song for months - and everytime I play it I get obsessed again.

"were you ever tempted by the lie, that there's an answer in the sky?"

From rather a nice album

Corking Philly-flavoured dancer! Eric's usually a little too RnB for me, but there's not a duff track on what is that rare thing these days - a really good soul slbum. Features the O'Jays' Eddie Levert as well - fair takes you back...

Kind of hard to choose one track off this album - the whole thing grows on me more and more. The King Of Limbs is the name of an actual tree and the music to me is like moving through a forest of layered sounds and aural textures, a world you can lose yourself in, absorbing and fascinating. There's a troubled unsettling tension and anxiety, contrasted with soothing serenity and calm, recurring throughout that gives it a duality of mood. The album really rewards attentive listening - in fact I find it hard to ignore once I start playing it. What seems at first dense and hard to love gradually opens out after repeated plays. At least it does for me. Others remain unconvinced no doubt.

Love the whole album, but this finale is superb. Sorry about the bizarre gubbins at the start of the YouTube clip, you end up with a nice picture of Mirrors after about a minute.

Pirate Days

Ace.

somewhat to my surprise I must admit, my current favourite tune turns out to be this:

Far out Man! Methinks Beady Eye have pinched their font.

... this is my most played

It's what stuck in my head...

... then I found out Iris was born on the same day in the same year as me. So we named our daughter Iris

...Chris Martin wrote it, his missus sings on it and it's all over Radio 2; cool it ain't. Maybe I've been spending too much time in Tennessee (which I have) and my critical faculties are shot from a surfeit of Jack. Whatever, I bloody love this :

King for a day - XTC.
I'm currently financially challenged, so no new albums since Christmas. I've used this as an opportunity to revisit the old favourites, and as I went through the XTC vault I realised how much I really love Oranges & Lemons.
I refused to buy it when it was first released, even though I was a huge fan of XTC from day one. For some reason I developed an allergy towards it without ever listening to it! I can't explain it...
So I didn't buy this album until years later, and then I didn't really listen to it much. I kind of liked it, but the old allergy was still giving me an itch...
I started listening to it without bias only last year, and fell in love. And these past two weeks this song is the one I keep humming all day long, and every time I listen to it I get a goofy smile on my face.
