miserableoldgit Posted 18 May, 2010 Posted 18 May, 2010 Jackson Browne and David Lindley - Love is Strange. Lovely live double CD
Julian H. Cope Posted 18 May, 2010 Author Posted 18 May, 2010 Coldplay. There, I said it ......Coldplay. I love them.
Block 5 Posted 18 May, 2010 Posted 18 May, 2010 Coldplay. There, I said it ......Coldplay. I love them. Oh dear. Are you sure you don't mean Coldcut?
Julian H. Cope Posted 18 May, 2010 Author Posted 18 May, 2010 Oh dear. Are you sure you don't mean Coldcut? If I was pretending to be cool then yes. I have some of their choons but I do not love them. However this will reaffirm my coolness:
Hamilton Saint Posted 18 May, 2010 Posted 18 May, 2010 Jackson Browne and David Lindley - Love is Strange. Lovely live double CD I ordered that a couple of days ago from Amazon - along with the deluxe 2-CD remastered re-issue of Exile on Main Street. Should be delivered tomorrow! BTW, did you see Browne and Lindley during their recent UK concert tour?
saintbletch Posted 18 May, 2010 Posted 18 May, 2010 Here's one for you: I'll not say who it is but give it a listen and whilst listening have a think about how far we have supposedly come. This music, like punk and rock n roll, is from the hearty of people who are ****ed off with politicians, royalty rulemakers in general and the like. Well, I like it. Actually, it almost brought a tear to my eye ('almost' I said). Nice call hamster. F**k me, Billy didn't mince words did he..? So refreshing to hear that nowadays, when attitudes have hardly progressed a single iota. I have a Billy Bragg album around somewhere. I'll dig it out, or go Youtubing. EDIT: Off my album - It Says Here Love it! Billy Bragg is my all time musical hero. Well I always felt it was good to be able to sing better than one's heroes. He taught me to play guitar, helped me over many a relationship breakup, gave me a life-long love of language, showed me the relevance of politics and drummed into me the importance of compassion for your fellow man. I don't always agree with him but love him or hate him, very few people can craft a lyric like this man. Very relevant following the election his is a general comment on the apathy of the electorate, and specifically a call to arms to remove Thatcher's conservative party from power. This clip taken from "The Tube" from the Red Wedge era and is complete with guitar/amp failure near the end.
SuperMikey Posted 18 May, 2010 Posted 18 May, 2010 Been watching a lot of French TV recently with my French exams coming up, and came across this guy performing on TV5 (who do a show called Acoustic in which they get a lot of bands in to do sessions, think Jools Holland but with more garlic). http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IW_L9Vz2Alk I like him, although he's quite bubblegum. He sounds kind of like a modern day James Brown imo...
Hamilton Saint Posted 19 May, 2010 Posted 19 May, 2010 Miles Ahead by Miles Davis (1957) - the first of several collaborations with Gil Evans (composer, arranger and band leader). Davis is the soloist; Evans arranges and conducts a 19-piece big band. Great stuff!
miserableoldgit Posted 19 May, 2010 Posted 19 May, 2010 (edited) I ordered that a couple of days ago from Amazon - along with the deluxe 2-CD remastered re-issue of Exile on Main Street. Should be delivered tomorrow! BTW, did you see Browne and Lindley during their recent UK concert tour? I have also ordered this. I am seeing them at The Royal Albert Hall in June. I first got into JB`s music back in the early 70`s when I saw him play "For a Dancer" with David Lindley on "The Old Grey Whistle Test". 1976:- 2006:- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=12E3EgTXk1A&feature=related I was immediately hooked and have been ever since. Have all of his albums and "Late For the Sky" is my all-time favourite album. Edited 19 May, 2010 by miserableoldgit

Have all of his albums and "Late For the Sky" is my all-time favourite album. I saw the two of them in concert at The Riverboat (a folk club in Toronto) ca. 1973. I'm also a big fan. My favourite albums are Late For The Sky (from the early period) and I'm Alive (from the more recent stuff). I have to admit that I lost interest a bit in his more overtly political period on the 80s (Lawyers in Love, World in Motion, Hold Out, Live in the Balance). I much prefer his songs about personal relationships. Browne's and Lindley's tour continues across the U.S., after they're done in the UK. No dates announced yet, though, for eastern Canada. I hope they make it to this part of the world!
chrisobee Posted 20 May, 2010 Posted 20 May, 2010 Just seeing what old favourites Youtube can find for me : Eurythmics - Thorn in My Side Feargal Sharkey- A Good Heart Undertones- Here Comes The Summer The Buzzcoc ks- Promises Members- Sound of the Suburbs The Clash- I Fought The Law The Clash- Rock The Casbah Arctic Monkeys- Baby I'm Yours Sham 69- Hersham Boys Tourists- So Good To Be Back Home A good place to finish...

TheCholulaKid Posted 20 May, 2010 Posted 20 May, 2010 Soft Bulletin - Flaming Lips Not listened to this in a good few years. Stunning.

TheCholulaKid Posted 20 May, 2010 Posted 20 May, 2010 Transglobal Underground - Dream of 100 Nations ****ing hell that makes me feel old. That's When I Reach For My Revolver - Mission of Burma
Julian H. Cope Posted 20 May, 2010 Author Posted 20 May, 2010 ****ing hell that makes me feel old. Remember seeing them at The Joiners in 93, they were f*cking superb, the 'shrooms helped I imagine. Not that I advocate the use of psychedelics.
SuperMikey Posted 20 May, 2010 Posted 20 May, 2010 The Bird and The Bee - Ray Guns Are Not The Future
LVSaint Posted 21 May, 2010 Posted 21 May, 2010 Transglobal Underground - Dream of 100 Nations Lovely sounds. Am first listening to LCD Soundsystem's This Is Happening and am liking.
LVSaint Posted 21 May, 2010 Posted 21 May, 2010 Goldie - Timeless Tried listening to that again not so long ago. Apart from the majestic Inner City Life, the rest just doesn't sound that good anymore IMO.
Deppo Posted 22 May, 2010 Posted 22 May, 2010 Remember seeing them at The Joiners in 93, they were f*cking superb, the 'shrooms helped I imagine. Not that I advocate the use of psychedelics. ****ing hippy.
Julian H. Cope Posted 22 May, 2010 Author Posted 22 May, 2010 ****ing hippy. Peace & love brother Deppo. Following on from my hippy leanings I am listening to: Circulus - Thought Becomes Reality.

Hamilton Saint Posted 24 May, 2010 Posted 24 May, 2010 Muswell Hillbillies (1971) by The Kinks. Brilliant!
LVSaint Posted 25 May, 2010 Posted 25 May, 2010 Played loudly on a pair of headphones. Yummy 90's timewarp.
Cestrian Saint Posted 26 May, 2010 Posted 26 May, 2010 New Albums I'm listening to are... Band Of Horses - Infinite Arms Villagers - Becoming A Jackal Stornoway - Beachcomber's Windowsill The National - High Violet
Julian H. Cope Posted 26 May, 2010 Author Posted 26 May, 2010 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=imKh_TKqHt4&feature=related Yep, really love that. Has not dated at all, thanks for the link.
SuperMikey Posted 26 May, 2010 Posted 26 May, 2010 Arcade Fire - The Suburbs/Month of May This is their long-awaited new single, got to say I like it a lot. Bit of a grower, more like the stuff on their first EP rather than the tracks on Funeral and Neon Bible. More stripped back, less studio gloss. Can't wait to see them at Reading! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1jG9lqa8Uvw
Pancake Posted 27 May, 2010 Posted 27 May, 2010 The deluxe version of Tricky's maxinquaye. The "Been Caught Stealing" mix of Black Steel is better than the original Tricky version.
