What are you listening to and WHY might anyone be interested? (Vol.VIII)

Posted by: Richard Dane on 29 December 2011

With 2012 almost 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:

Great stuff, live on Radio Three from the RAH. Hidef stream on the net!

 

ATB from George

After forty-one years of Prom listening, I can definitely say this was the best radio relay I have ever heard!

 

I strongly recommend the chance to review this broadcast on the radio iplayer [accessed from the Radio Three homepage] when it becomes available in the next few hours [but for one week only].

 

Nothing to add. I am devastated by the great performance of a favourite musical/theatrical score.

Nice one Debs. The lovely 'Shed' folk are in my home town, so I popped in to pick up my copy.

 

You might be interested in a video about them, filmed in their previous, smaller premises.

I had forgotten what a stunningly good record this is. Disarmingly simple-sounding tracks, but more concentration reveals a songwriter at the height of his powers. This is just effortless genius from Macca. MUCH more to this record than one would suspect. Brilliant.

I feel that this will stand the test of time in the same way that "Ram" (above) has. Marvellous record.

Well, it is a Sunday after all!!

 

Had my system on random, and a Billie Holiday track came on. Ooo nice I thought, wonder what's on Spotify to enhance my knowledge of this beautiful singer.....gasp....932 albums alone on just Billie with out Billie and her Orchestra etc.

 

Can you fine people recommend a "must listen" album? 932 albums going to take a while!
