What are you listening to right now? (VOL I)

Posted by: Tam on 06 June 2005

Anyway, to kick things off, I'm currently, and probably for most of the rest of this week, listening to Radio 3's Beethoven Experience. They're doing one of the piano concertos at the moment and (number 2 with Glenn Gould). Anyway, the experience thing probably needs its own thread, but, even on this cheapo radio it's proving fairly enjoyable.

So, what are you listening to right now?

Diccus - It isn't solo - it just starts off like that and the band are very subtle thoughout.

Double album. CD. First one is strictly rock. The second cd is slower and more acoustical.

Ben and his men plays more than 200 concerts a year., And they are great live performers.

Not so sure this counts but Desert Island Discs on Rad 4 with Ian Rankin - great selections thus far.

If i recall Ian Rankin has a pretty good taste in music (whatever that is

) and he references quite a lot of music, mainly rock based in his Rebus novels. Met him once in Waterstones, Durham doing a book signing. Nice bloke, down to earth, no pretentions. I expected massive cues to see him and there was only a couple of us................. not quite a Jordan signing session then. I'll have to check R4 to see if his choices are listed.

Cheers

Have seen them live (back then), but I do think I prefer the sudio version(s)- especially "One night in '88".

great music making, anyway...

Hi folks,

I'm listening to Sade - 'Hang on to Your Love'.

A most underrated jazz/blues singer IMHO backed by one of the tightest rhythm sections on the planet. My system loves those transients! I just love Sade.

Cheers, ecm

I know it's copy-cat but I don't care - Sade, summer, and dinner on the way - excellent.
