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

The DVD is in the stores I noticed.

This afternoon was Depeche Mode: Some Great Reward and Songs of Faith and Devotion

Mika's excellent debut album 'Life In Cartoon Motion'. What a talented singer and songwriter this guy is. His voice is a mix of Robbie Williams, Freddie Mercury and Russell Mael. On the subject of Russell Mael, some of his songs are a bit reminiscent of Sparks in their style, particularly 'Billy Brown'. Although the music is nothing like John's music, there is one lyric, from 'Relax (Take It Easy)' that is very John Foxx like:

"Took a ride
to the end of the line
where no-one ever goes.
Ended up
on a broken train
with nobody I know"

If you liked his hit single, 'Grace Kelly', you'll probably love this album as much as I do!

Mika's album is good. Very Freddie in places. My wife has been playing it to death in the car so I've had to get used to it! But seriously, it's a very distinctive and impressive debut.

John Foxx for me today... Shifting CIty... Crash & Burn...

John Foxx - A new Kind of Man, on my phone/mp3 player. Excellent.
Except for

• a: The Mockney on Underpass (bloody sacrilege)
• b: "across the Plaza, La La la" (AAARGH!!!!)
• c: A section of clapping that seems to take up most of my train journey to work...

I've decided to give ANKOM a spin now.

Really like the intro to Plaza.

Today it's JF 'Metamatic' and The Who 'Live at the Royal Albert Hall' from March 2004.

Iggy Pop: Best Of

The Omnidelic Exotour

The Golden Section Tour

Thanks to a random purchase last night, today it's Los Amigos Invisibles 'The Venezuelan Zinga Son Vol. I'.

Interesting stuff...
