What are you Listening to at the Moment?

[TheKentishFledgling]

Loving Pink Martini and China Forbes' solo stuff at the moment. Hey Eugene is a great album.

[Morley]

Still listening to Amy. Tears dry on their own..

Agreed. The odd-numbered albums (Sympathique & Hey Eugene) are wonderful. #2 and 4 lerss so, IMHO. Going to see them live in Liverpool at the beginning of next month.

Currently listening to 'Take Five' as prefromed by Bugge Wesseltoft. A most original and excellent take on the Brubeck classic. Mr W is prolific, and ever so slightly wierd. Going to see him in Manchester on 11 Oct.

I never thought I'd like Bartok, but I'm enjoying this:

- encouraged by my oppo over the road (who is also church organist, village choir director, etc).

[Jim and Pat Dalton]

Have been rediscovering Janice Ian

she never had enough hits imho. A really great songwriter and the words of this song will be true for every generation.

Keef I'm kind of ambivalent about Bartok too - I'll give that a listen. My current musical 'squeeze' is Scriabin's 'Poeme de l'Extase'. Heard it broadcast in my car as the Pennines were coming into view lit by sun against a cloudy backdrop. Stunning!

The new Florence album is very good indeed. Was listening to it while sat in the back watching limited panel unusual attitudes today - superb.

[davidair]

the new Florence + the Machine isn't all that bad. just had my first listen. Initial opinion: the first is better (Drummering Song!!! just listened to it)

[Jwscud]

On further reflection, Ceremonials is better than Lungs. Heartlines especially is rocking my world at the moment.

[Morley]

A bit shouty for me although I like Adele and shes shouty too.

[davidair]

I very, very much like the Yeah Yeah Yeahs. Punk with great lyrics, and acoustic versions of some of their songs make chills go up my spine...

[Steve D]

Recently discovered Dave's true Story. 'Sex without bodies' is a great album. anybody who can write a song titled "I'll never read Trollope again" has to be worth a listen.

Currently enjoying Abdullah Ibrahim "African Magic", haven't yet found an album of his I don't like, a lot. "Cape Town Songs" is a great compilation and a very good place to start for anybody interested.

Alphaville

Florence and the Machine: Ceremonials.

Now I really shouldn't like F and the M but her last two albums have a strange appeal.
