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?

Yes, need to go the Kleeve and Dusseldorf is nearest. So looking for any recommendations in/around the old town.

The "NH City Nord" is not too far from the center and modern style with a nice lounge type bar.
"Steigenberger Park Hotel", if you like it classy.
"Radisson SAS Hotel" is neat
"Innside Premium" on the other side of the river

would be hotels I stay(ed) in or know.

cheers

Khomsa is the only Brahem's album which I consider to be only.. comme-si, Khom-sa.

The individual tracks are good, but you have to be ready for shifting moods, since the music has been composed for different films and plays, mostly Tunisian.

A little uneaven for me.

Haim

Not easy to get "earthed" after seeing the fabulous "Das Parfüm" - based on the even more fabulous novel by Patrick Süsskind in the movie theatre.

Is that already out elsewhere in the world ? In the States ? Go and see it ! A rare example where the movie reaches out to the books quality.

cheers

Stefan,

It has been years since I saw a good movie at the theatre. By the way, Stanko will be in town in two weeks. You are invited.

Thanks Stefan - I know Steigenberger from other places, so I'll have a look at that. A bit of "class" that's what I need Smile

Crackin record - Rehab, sounds like old soul but is absolutely NU music. Major star 4 the future diccus reckons. Smart, intelligent, off the map. She don't need no rehab, no, no, no

Amy Winehouse

Thanks for the invitatiuon, Haim...

Seeing Stanko twice within four weeks might be a bit too much, though. I hope for you that the venue is equally good as the one we've seen them in !

cheers

PS: Happing hunting re: good movies !

Larry

Excuse the laziness on my part - I haven't come across this album / box set - would you mind letting me know when it was released and what it comprises - cd / vinyl only or both?

Thanks

Larry,

No need to reply - I did a quick Amazon search and found the answer - 10 cd's in the set! That must have been some listening session!!

I'm sure I haven't played this piece of the black stuff in the last 20 years until today! Shame on me, this album contains some real gems, like Lady Eleanor & Winter Song
