What are you listening to and WHY might anyone be interested? (Vol.IX)
Posted by: Richard Dane on 01 January 2013
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:

On CD:-
Kev, im by no stroke of the imagination an expert on women, but do you not suspect that you may be worshipping at the wrong altar here ? It's the same with this strange Borgen fixation you have... I mean she may appear physically attractive, but wouldn't you say there is something slightly....mannish...about her?
Well, having met Viv a number of times I can tell you that she is most definitely a woman, and a feminine (if not conventionally so) one. Nothing mannish about her at all.
Sidse Babett Knudsen I've never met, but again I can't see anything mannish about her either:
SBK is 45 and VA is 59, so neither is young - but as far as I'm concerned both are all woman.
Perhaps Jordan or Miley are your idea of a non-mannish woman? 
Getting towards the top of my to buy list 
A radio concert broadcast on German radio from 2012. Really good gig..
John Hiatt in concert on Xrt Chicago June 2013
Boz Scaggs- Strictly Bluegrass 2013 webstream.
Steely Dan Storytellers Sony Studios Feb 2000
Dame Edna Everage is more my style when it comes to glamorous celebs.
Phwoar! 
Don't forget Danny La Rue and Hinge & Bracket 
A Beastie kind of night so far.
PPollini/Abbado: Bartok Piano Concerto No.1.
Faster tempo and more modern reading not so much of 60s Avant Garde B&W film.
Pollini's transparent and assertive keyboard work works compliments Abbado's softer orchestration.
Still challenging score, tho.
Getting towards the top of my to buy list
Do it, I hope you enjoy it as much as I do.
Thought it was about time I bought some ...
The "Album" from Amazon on mp3 - (Actually 1 track, nice though) Soldier of Fortune
and (Autorip mp3 while waiting for the CD to arrive)
If you don't have Opeth's "Damnation" album I highly recommend it.
Love over Gold
From this
Have been listening to this over the past days and whilst it might not qualify as music, it is totally compelling. Listen with no distractions and as loud as you can (dynamic range notwithstanding), I find it quite draining and need a fillip of something light afterwards 
Golden Earring. Moontan. On the reissue vinyl, 1974.
