DJ Shadow fans!

Have you tried Godspeed You! Black Emperor ? They did some of the music for 28 days later.

Very brooding.

Sit back and chill!

Don't know about all this talk about remixes and stuff (not in my day I tell thee :'> ) but the two tracks they did for 28 Days Later were fantastic. East Hastings takes far too long to get to the point, but the 8 or 9 minutes in the middle are amazing.

Johnny Cash - American III: Solitary Man

Fan-bloody-tastic - don't mock until you give it a listen as he gives a selection of other people's songs an insight and emotion that really grabs you in a chilled sort of way.

For any hip-hop fans on here I must recommend Dilated Peoples' Expansion Team. It is an utterly superb sample of the genre, excellent writing, stellar production. It's a must-have if you're into the old Rhythmic American Poetry.

[Shevchenko]

Been listening a lot to these two records lately:

Kent - Vapen och Ammunition

Swedish band, named "Radiohead of the North" by some. Good lyrics, strong melodic tunes, this record is one of my favorites. They sing in swedish but I recommend giving them a go anyways. They've released a few albums in english too.

James Carr - You got My Mind Messed Up

The forgotten voice of the deep south soul scene of the 1960s. Overlooked in favour of such artists as Otis Redding and O V Wright, many feel that James Carr's talent eqlipsed them all. Infact, many feel that this is the ultimate soul album, highlighted by James' ultimate version of the song  "The Dark End of The Street", which has passed into legend. You've all got to check this guy out.

As the hosts favourite artist, James Carr's music featured at a 40th birthday do I went too last week. Amazing voice (James Carr not the host).

[Dan Furness]

Snow Patrol - Run (heard on radio coming home utter class)

Franz Ferdinand - Take Me Out

Kelis - Milkshake (grown on me)

Incubus - Megalomania

Steve Murano - Passion

I will be going out on Monday to buy the new Lostprophets album 'Start Something'.  'Last Train Home' is an amazing song and 'Burn Burn' is great too.  Can't wait to hear the rest of the album!

One of the "joys"(?) of having children is that I can legitimately watch TOTP now and again; did anyone see the strangulation of "Comfortably Numb" this week?

It was total sh**e - who the bloody hell are the scissors sisters?

Stereophonics were ok though.

A question that will no doubt be asked in many a quiz hence.

I spent 7 bucks today on a second hand copy of the Earth AD album by Misfits. A bargain some might say.....except it's only 21 minutes long! Bleedin' Punk music.....

[dave birch]

I'm still onto the complete recordings of Robert Johnson, for you blues fans. Influencer of many modern (post 60's guitarists) This guy recorded just 20 or 30 tracks,all on an acoustic, but they are stunning.

On the jazz side, I'm listening to Lionel Hampton, wild vibes....... yeah.....

Some songs should be left alone and never ever covered.  Comfortably Numb is one of them.

Thankfully I haven't heard the cover and don't want to.

Trust me, your position is prudent to quote the Chancellor.

Sometimes a cover version brings a new dimension to a song; however, on this occasion, no value or artistic merit is added in any way I can identify - just an upbeat rhythm and screeching vocals - crap!

A great song ruined for future generations!  Couldn't believe me ears when I heard it on the radio the other day.  I was half listening thinking 'what's that rubbish' then I recognised the words.

Does it count as a cover version if all they have done is stolen the words?!

Stevie Ray Vaughan, 'Essential.'

Great album.

[Simon Says]

Stevie Ray Vaughan, the inspiration behind the guitar wizard that is Mike McReady.

Yeah the song 'Little wing' influenced Ledbeter.. Even has extracts from it at the end of the Seattle boxset version.

Sorry, to many beers.

After today, do you blame me?  

[S15]

Surely you weren't shocked that after equalising after 87 minutes that we still lost?

Back on track though, have you ever heard 'Little Wing?'

It's amazing.

[CornwallRover]

Purchased the new Incubus and Lost prophets albums, both of them are really good.

[percy]
