Currently listening to the beautiful sound of 100s of small birds in the trees outside our house. Can't work out a time signature or key, though.

Marcin Waselewski Trio, from the album January. The studio version of this on the album is superb.

That made me look up Chirpy Chirpy Cheep Cheep:

 

 

And it is even worse than I remembered.

This popped up on the Spotify "Discover " playlist. Never liked or been interested in Iron Maiden, but this is excellent. 

Not sure if the link will work, but it's "Prodigal Son", from "Killers"

This song really caught my ear, great sound and great chorus.  The Fixer by The Bug Club:

Amazing record........ in that the cheerful tune and jaunty bassline are totally at odds with the tragic nature of the lyrics.

The new album by Amyl and the Sniffers:

 

Great Australian punk!

I haven't heard that for several decades - and I'm not about to undo the good work of all those years!

The new Low album (from which this is taken I think) is album of the day on 6music today.

 

Interesting new sound from Low methinks, based on the couple heard so far. Good that they are not stuck in  a rut even after all these years.

I made the mistake of clicking on it -- Still Weird, Creepy, Awful, and the other four dwarfs.

I saw Peter Bruntnell at a festival in Edinburgh a few years ago, alongside Steve Earle and Emmylou Harris. 
To say he was seriously sartorially challenged is an understatement. The music was good and the anorak was disgusting. 
Steve Earle used to be good, I’ve seen him many times and played many of his songs live, but he’s turned into an opinionated bore. Emmylou was, and still is, great. 

[gareth]

I’m not sure what you’re saying about Peter Bruntnell but I’ve got most of his cds and I’ve seen him live in small venues twice

 

I think he is a great undiscovered talent 

 

regarding Steve Earle as with everything for me it’s the music that counts and I like his music - it doesn’t matter to me whether “he’s turned into an opinionated bore”

 

as long as “opinionated bore”s are talented, write and sing songs that I like that’s all that matters and I’m more than happy to listen to them and buy their music
