"Nocturama" by Nick Cave is currently pleasuring my ears.

"Baby I'm On Fire" is a song that I am seriously considering as a song to be played when I pop my clogs and head off to the crematorium.

Well there's a cheery note to end the day.

Recently moved house and discovered my old ELO tapes.

Played them on the 8-track in my Ford Capri the other day: "Mr Blue Sky"....absolutely marvellous.

It's a fantastic album, Nick Cave is one of my fav singers, each album a masterpiece.

I was lured into buying the new Richard Hawley (Guitarist from Pulp) album "Lowedges" after hearing him on Johnathan Ross' radio show on saturday. It is rather good, and very easy in the ear.

Probably not one for you metal heads.

Audioslave have been a disappointment.

I quite like Audioslave.

Must admit it is very 70s rock, hints of Zep and Sabbath. But Chris Cornell's voice still sounds fantastic.

[Radagast]

Don't get me wrong, I love Sabbath, but really, after the stand out tracks (Gasoline, Cochise, Set It Off and Show Me How To Live) the album fades into obscurity. Cornell is a great singer.

[Crunching Tackler]

got heathen chemistry in the car, stone roses (the second coming) in my room and coldplay in the kitchen.

[Simon Says]

Oh dear. After all the talk about a fantastic headline act for Sunday night at Glasto and it turns out to be Moby!

Still, Radiohead should be good, esp if they start playing songs again. By all accounts the new album is back to basics. Sounds promising!

[trickstah]

I like slow messe.

Cant wait for the new album!

God no Radiohead?! The personification of bland, lifeless, over-hyped music.

You people are making me feel really old, but i have been listening to the soul greats of the sixties mainly.Sam Cooke has to be the most overlooked artist in terms of importnce he practically invented soul. If anybody likes soul try and find Sam Cooke doing a song called a change is gonna come BRILLIANT.Also a bit of otis redding. Am permanently addicted to soul music.

I've got Hail To The Theif. Can't say its fantastic at all, but then I'm not a fan of Radiohead anyway.

It's usually Muse all the way on my stereo, but they've been raplced as of late by the superb "Something To Write Home About" by The Get Up Kids.

[enigma]

Just got Tantric's album on recommendation so im currently listening to that.

There's nowt wrong with Radiohead - I love the Bends.  

[Shevchenko]

Salif Keita - Tomorrow

You may have heard it in the film ALI (with Will Smith). Highly recommended (both song and film).

[Rovermatt]

That's a brilliant tune (if you are referring to the one at the end of Ali)

By the way how did you get that great avatar?

[Shevchenko]

It's the tune they play when Ali is running around the country side with the kids all around him, before the "Rumble in the Jungle". At least I think that's the one (been a while since I watched it, due another re-run I guess).

The avatar, I asked VERY nicely  

CURRAHEE!

[Finch]

This week I am mostly listening to:

Coldplay - a rush of blood to the head  

(FABulous album)

[Radagast]

God no Radiohead?! The personification of bland, lifeless, over-hyped music.

No, that would be Linkin Park!

[Simon Says]

No, that would be Linkin Park!

Ah yes, Linkin Park.

Lets release an album exactly like the last one!

Spot the difference anyone?

[Rovermatt]

No, that would be Linkin Park!

Tell that to my brother, I'm not the real fan.

[Radagast]

Hmmm I was sure you were a big fan of theirs the last time I savaged them . Oh well who cares?

[bellamy11]

Not heard the new album. Hybrid Theory 1.5 was a terrible attempt at a cash-in though. I can't believe how many people paid money to hear remixes of their old songs with text-message names!  

[tchocky]

Marmoset

[Rovermatt]

Hmmm I was sure you were a big fan of theirs the last time I savaged them

Nope, it wasn't me.

Although I feel that it has become fashionable to deride them due to some feeling that they are manufactured. If they were to churn out a great tune tomorrow, they wouldn't get the necessary kudos. Each to his own I suppose.
