Boo Hewerdine - "Swimming in Mercury"

[Ashweb]

A bit of a guilty pleasure this... Just started listening to The Pretty Reckless on YouTube, especially the tracks Going to Hell and Take Me Down.

I can appreciate the music and the ability of the band with a singer up front who has an incredible voice (and who writes a lot of the songs, too IINM); but watching the videos - I don't half feel like a dirty old man...

"Which of us is the Fool" - Robert Palmer

Currently listening to Mastodon's new album "Emperor of Sand"

Wasn't sure on the first listen as not quite what I expected, but an excellent album. Been putting it on every chance I get for the last few days

It's not bad is it? Better than the last two records.

If you like that, the new Ohhms record - The Fool is very good

Been listening to Jamiroquai's new album for the past 3 days, it's rather good.

You and me both, it is rather good. Despite some filler tracks!

[Grangur]

Chicago - Chicago II

Not exactly a recent release, it has some great bass and variety.

Bad Company

I don't know why, but Paul Rodgers is such a pro guy.

...certainly not everyone's cup of tea. In fact I imagine that many here will hate them But I personally find them [i]very[/i] refreshing - a band (if you can call them that) that's actually saying something at a time when it's most needed. Raw as hell and exceedingly British. I love it.

Pharoah Sanders - Africa

Came across it serendipitiously as I liked the name, cracking stuff - I'm not overly familiar with jazz, but this is great

A guilty pleasure for me also!! We have a new female singer in our band and have just introduced Miss Nothing and Make Me Wanna Die to the set list. Great stuff, but not expecting our singer to dress (or undress for that matter!!) the same way as Taylor Momsen!!

New CD arrived: the Winery Dogs (Sheehan, Portnoy and Kotzen). Good songwriting and kickass musicianship.

[bodmin]

Just dug out my copy of Sad wings of destiny by Judas Priest, one of my favourite albums in the late '70's. Haven't heard it for years, I still love it.

I'm in a major Manic Street Preachers phase at the moment. I seem to do this every now and then, rediscover a band that I love but haven't listened to in a while and hammer the **** out of them for a few months.

Anyway, I watched the Manic's film Escape From History on Sky Arts earlier this week and have listened to nothing else since. I've loved them since the first album and I've got the entire back catalogue at my fingertips.

Why James Dean Bradfield isn't given more credit is beyond me. Incredible power and range to his voice, amazing guitarist, and the enviable ability to contort some pretty oblique prose into structured lyrics and strong melodies. I'm a big fan.

Waiting for Columbus - Little Feat. One of the best 'live' albums of all time in my opinion.

[skb558]

Been listening to Lisa Hannigan - At Swim. Like this a lot.

Anything by Guitarist 'Allen Hinds' at the moment.
Such a terrific feel...

A bit of Afro/psychedelic/disco/funk in the form of William Onyeabor - funny, funky and odd.

Also quite impressed by Venetian Snares; quite Squarepusher but more orchestral. Interesting stuff.
