What are you listening to?


Julian H. Cope

Pancake, I take it all this music IS in the background. You aren't actually listening to it while doing nothing else, yes..?

 

Pedant alert: Disraeli

 

As for myself, I got The Pretenders - Pretenders II album going.

 

Working.

 

Whoops on the typo!

Unlucky, I endured a couple of hours of those at the weekend whilst putting t'tree etc up... ;(

 

Unlucky? I set the Spotify folder up!

 

Particular favorites being:

 

Little Drummer Boy - Bing and Bowie

Feliz Navidad - Jose Feliciano

Silver Bells - Bing again

 

And of course Last Christmas by Wham!

Manic Street Preachers version of Last Christmas is rather good IMHO.

Mumford & Sons - Sigh No More

 

Its a brilliant album that comes from a band that have the making to be something huge

Hyped up twaddle. How can an album with so much going on be so bland and insipid ? Made for Radio 1 daytime and Radio 2. The real life version of ****ing "Josh's " band on that T-mobile advert and just as irritating.

Talk Talk - Spirit of Eden

First time I've heard this in years, absolutely gorgeous stuff. In general, pop bands would be a much more palatable bunch if they all grew up to produce avant-guard post-rock masterpieces. My overwhelming thought is what a huge influence it must have had on Ladies and Gentleman… by Spiritualized.

Word.

 

Which pop bands would you pick? I'm looking forward to Busted's double-album of excoriating white noise guitar with hand-bells and clapping.

rumour has it that crazy frog spent all his cash on a recording studio and intends to take us all back to year zero with nose-flutes and ghosts.

Also, if RATM hit the number 1 spot this Christmas I will never mock the power of a Facebook group again. This is something I do frequently.

 

According to Pop*****, the RATM song is on the same label as the X Factor song, so they win either way. Rumour is that Simon Cowell has bought the publishing rights.

 

:D

They've got three LPs and one Covers album, so I would say just start with the debut album 'Rage Against The Machine', with 'Bombtrack' and 'Killing in the Name' tracks that you may have heard from it.

And don't forget to get them to Christmas No. 1!

 

F*** you, I won't do what you tell me....

 

Today, I have been making my ears bleed to Jane's Addiction; Ritual De Lo Habitual and The Delgados; Hate and then Peleton.

Are they still playing for Ecuador ?

 

I think the Delgados got their name from the Spanish Tour de France cyclist Pedro Delgado Robledo 'cos Alun Woodward was a big cycling fan; hence the name of the album; Peleton.

 

Apart from that, I'm not sure what they're doing now, I thought they'd packed it all in and Emma Pollock went off on her own.

1) A Charlie Brown Christmas by Vince Guaraldi - a classic Christmas album for jazz lovers.

 

 

2) Phil Spector's Christmas album, which has been re-released many, many times. It features popular Christmas songs done in Spector's familiar wall-of-sound production style with Darlene Love, The Ronettes, The Crystals, and Bob B. Soxx & The Blue Jeans.
