Metamatic Forums Socialising The Green Room What Music Are You Listening To ?

Wallowing a little this weekend, for no real reason, except that that is the mood of music I am "up for" at the moment. I have also enjoyed every minute of it!

There is/was the exception of REM "Accelerate" which is pretty immediate on first play, and has shades of the sublime "New Adventures in Hi-Fi".

Savoy Grand - "Burn the Furniture"
Micah P Hinson and the Opera Circuit - same
Arab Strap - "Monday at the Hug and Pint"
The Blue Nile - "High" *

(* I said I would start with the earlier recommendations, but this one jumped out at me and I love it already)

I also tried Japan "Quiet Life" again, and liked it a lot. Why so much sax though?

JOHN FOOOOXXXXX!!

The enthusiasm is because I haven't listened to a note of Foxx since about November! I'm enjoying rediscovery of many albums and also getting my ears into the new 2-disc version of Metamatic which Peter kindly bought me for my birthday.

Biosphere - Substrata

Ultravox! - 'Three Into One, and dare i say, Abba - 'Gold'.

DJ Shadow - 'Excessive Ephemera'
Beastie Boys - 'Pauls Boutique'

Oxygéne new master recording

Continuing with my 1970s lookback this week:
Graham Parker and The Rumour: Squeezing Out Sparks and Blondie: Plastic Letters

A right old mixture of Chemical Brothers tracks today. Just goes to show what an album like 'We Are The Night' can do, if it makes someone like me listen to that 'dancey music' stuff.

Dub Terror feat. John Foxx - Burning Car (21st century mix)

Dancey stuff. Pretty hardcore.
Nice…

Today it's Bill Nelson - starting with Chamber of Dreams (Music From the Invisibility Exhibition). I love this album, especially all of the cut-up sections on (what would've been) side one...
