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?

Went with my son to a second hand LP store where he purchased this plus Jose Feliciano's first, Joni Mitchell's Blue,and several other classic albums, 20 for $10!
Picturesque Matchstickable Messages from the Status Quo.
A truly great psychedelic album that includes very imaginative guitar phrases Ice in the Sun and some brilliantly unusual sounds on the epic Paradise Flat.
Quo sound rather different these days an just seemed to go down, down, deeper and down, but this is excellent.
Day One of my Naimless week. Toady I'm on shuffle.

The Pink Floyd thread got me thinking...
Not as good as their first album, but there are stll some highlights in Spare Parts by The Status Quo. I always thought organist, Roy Lynes, was a big loss and they were never the same without him.

Four Lads Who Shook The Wirral takes its title from a sculpture outside what used to be Eric's (seminal Punk era venue) in Liverpool called Four Lads Who Shook The World (very near what was once The Cavern).
This is the album that contains that great love song 'Keeping Two Chevrons Apart' and contains the line "Tiredness can kill - take a break.", which refers to motorway driving, of course, drivers are advised to keep two chevrons apart so that they don't run into the back of one another when the obligatory Sunday driver swerves in front of them. There's a sign saying "Keep two chevrons apart" just after Rothersthorpe Services. Rothersthorpe is a village a few miles south of Northampton, far better known for being a service station at Junction 15a on the M1 where football coaches always seem to gather. I know of no other song about Rothersthorpe Services. which is a very strange thing IMHO.

Bach / Three Suites BWV 1007-1009 / Marion Verbruggen, recorders / harmonia mundi
Transcriptions from the originals for solo cello. She has also an excellent disc of Telemann's works on the same label.

Yes, and she has another just as excellent Harmonia Mundi CD with Bachs three other cello suites in her own arrangement.
