With 2013 upon us, it's time to start a fresh thread. I've gone back to an earlier thread title because often the "why" is the most interesting part of the post.
Anyway, links:

Think I'm getting into Ray Lamontagne now. Good for chilling out.
love this!
Bought three Ray Lamontagne albums in one go. Just listening to the third. All good.
Also on vinyl:-
Not a massive Black Sabbath fan but Tony Iommi certainly does the business.
One of 3 BS and 2 Rainbow LPs I have on approval from a friend.
One of the all time great albums in my view, and on debut too.

The next five weren't to bad either 
Recent vinyl purchase - I mislaid my previous one 
To finish the evening's listening. Mary's voice never fails to move me.

Not among Handel's famous works, nevertheless, these are exquisite sonatas which keep growing on you gently.

Excellent recording and remastering by Testament.
Not too keen on Haendel's performance, however. Too sweet and she has no *Star Power*.
