[teeththronesandpassing]

I saw Alanis in Dogma again the other day and it made my week!

[teeththronesandpassing]

@chime, I love Saul williams. Have you heard his latest, if so what do you think?
@saturninesweetness Have you heard any other albums by Neutral Milk Hotel? Are they as good as In the Aeroplane? I will check out if you are feeling sinister, I've only heard Tigermilk and Dear Catastrophe Waitress.

[saturninesweetness]

@teeththronesandpassing:
The only album NMH has besides Aeroplane is On Avery Island, and (maddeningly) I can't get my hands on it so I couldn't tell you if it was good or not.
Sadly, they haven't produced any more albums since Aeroplane, although I do believe they have an EP out.

[chime]

@teeth: yeah i just heard it yesterday...its a bit...industrial, hes experimental at the best of times but i found it hard to listen to the new stuff. i much prefer him simply spilling his knowledge, have you heard 'when the clock strikes me'? its on youtube if not

[teeththronesandpassing]

[nathan3011]

The killers new album is pretty good, but yeah 30 seconds to mars is just a fantastic album, and only has 1 or 2 mediocre songs on whereas the rest are pretty much all good songs :)

Apaarently guns n roses new album is not that good, has anyone got landlords insurance (http://www.ashburnham-insurance.co.uk/landlord-insurance.html) or listened to it and can confirm if it is good or not??

[Tommy Walker]

Lately I've been listening a lot to Bob Dylan's "Time Out of Mind", in fact I'm doing that now. So much inspiration to get there - I've also had John Lennon's "Mind Games" running, as well with Elton John's "Tumbleweed Connection". For me, at least, this is the best music ever.

[BenJohnson]

The Blues in Drag, by The Glove, beautiful piece of music.

Been listening to a lot of movie soundtracks recently. Really like some of the moody, atmospheric Sci-Fi ones like Alien, Solaris...etc

Been playing Clint Mansell's 'Moon' soundtrack to death. The opening track 'Welcome To Lunar Industries' is just superb!

[John Ashleigh]

Solid air - John Martyn.

[rantingpete]

Solid air - John Martyn.

-Great song John. Did you know 'Solid Air' was about Nick Drake? 'May You Never' is a quality tune too.

[John Ashleigh]

No, I didn't know that. Solid air is a brilliant album.

[BattyOldMaid]

Children's playtime songs. London's burning and jelly on a plate is on repeat mode :spruce_up:

[Rybo75]

Ok, so not an all time great, but recently been introduced to a band/group/whatever they are, called Girl Talk, album name is All Day, It is just track laid over track laid over track remixed together, and it makes for some wonderful listening trying to pick out all the familiar riffs. Have a go, see what you think. Or there is an interactive site that plays the album, and lists what tracks in the mix feature at that particular time, not as much fun, but still great to listen to without having to buy the album. try it here. http://alldaysamples.com/

[GBG]

Track called "The man who isn't there" by Oren Lavie....lovely and melancholic.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XvlfB_zP6uI

[Shanalorm]

Gregorian masters of Chant Chapter VI

Lovely

[m_b]

dabnorfish's poem 'Why Steinbeck Wept' (http://www.thepoetryforum.co.uk/showthread.php?t=20100) reminded me of this great, melancholic piece by Erik Satie. Been playing it over & over...

[CreamyIllegalApple]

the album, "Without You I'm Nothing" by Placebo

[m_b]

Dusted off my copy of F#A# by Godspeed You! Black Emperor. Such a great album, never fails to blow me away :)

[John Ashleigh]

Mumford & Sons album. Brilliant.

[m_b]

Boards of Canada - 'Music Has The Right To Children' :)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_fAGC9ODl2Y

[John Ashleigh]

Joe Purdy - StompinGrounds.

[SeanC.N.]

I definitely second John's motion on Mumford and Sons' album. What a work of art. Inspirational and original. Modern music with an old-world soul and profound lyrics.

To add to the list, an earlier album...
"Lifted or The Story is in the Soil, Keep Your Ear to the Ground" by Bright Eyes from 2002. This is easily one of my favorite albums of all time, and dare I say one of the most original. Connor Oberst is an incredibly gifted artist, and though I don't see eye to eye with him on particular subjects, his writing prowess is something of a marvel.

[richrockster]

I'm at risk of being completely out of touch with everyone here. I don't tend to listen to songs, probably something to do with the fact my hearing is screwed anyway.

Anyhoo, I prefer not having to try and interpret what people are singing (people talking is bad enough) so I blast my ears with beautiful ambient music, and this has been played a lot recently:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w1W9bTBC0Ig

There's tons of music like this for free on many many netlabels. Can't remember the last time I actually paid for music.

I completely agree. Bright eyes are very good.

[----------]

Same to both those, bright eyes and mumford and sons are two of the greatest.

My new favourite is WULYF, go tell fire to the mountain, highly recommend it.
And Bon Iver's new album, of course.

[rantingpete]

Ron Sexsmith - Long Player Late Bloomer
Del Amitri - B Sides

[John Ashleigh]

At the moment I am listening to Ed Sheerans album. It is very commercial, but I quite like it. I am also listening to Joe Purdy quite alot.

[Old8oy]

Been listening to Chris Cornell's 'Songbook' album for the past couple weeks.
Chris Cornell - "The Keeper" (Official Music Video) - YouTube

That video is for the album version of "The Keeper" which appears on the Machinegun Preacher soundtrack. There's a terrific acoustic version on Songbook along with a ton of other good stuff.

Chris Cornell - Cleaning My Gun (Songbook) - YouTube
