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?

Needs re-mastering already
A little divertmento to unwind from the week
(but ye olde vinyl version not this digitally futzed one)
My friend J.N. introduced me to this and I'm glad he did.
Two CDs from probably the best male vocalist in the world of popular music - and the BBC over-taped his shows and kept 6-5 Special - laugh I almost paid my licence fee.
Feeling nostalgic, so dug this out.
Don't think I've played this since getting my Naim system - the BASS is 'kin amazing!

Wicked vocals and guitar - well, at least the first half of the album...

Blimey. You wouldn't think the original could get much worse.
