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

A rare full morning off , I had intended to get 70 to 100k in on the bike , but "she who must be obeyed" had other plans , so I'm in "Hilda Ogden" mode and giving the house a much needed and somewhat belated Spring clean The old cassettes have been dug out
so far
The wonderful fiddle driven Agitrock of THE LEVELLERS (Eponymous first album) stand out track "100 Years of Solitude "
Next up was the Angst driven negative but astounding and life affereming Weltanschau of Mr Matt Johnson (THE THE SOUL MINING) a veritable treasure trove The Everest being "Uncertain Smile" with Jools Holland in fine form tickling the ivories
This was following by the beautiful whimsical folk of AL STEWART with the title track YEAR OF THE CAT being the high on that (mentioned in my saxophone thread)
Next up will be INTRO PULP Can't wait to hear the spiteful magnificence of RAZZAMATAZZ again alongside SHEFFIELD SEX CITY (An habitué of the South Yorkshire metropolis like The Radler will probably appreciate it even more)
The synth moment will come with OXYGENE by JM JARRE
Right that's me out of here

The country's in financial and political meltdown!

Time for the plastic guitar bubblegum power synth-pop of Kim Wilde and the slightly more focused but still plastic guitar bubblegum power synth-pop of Select

ahhhhh - that's better - the healing power of plastic guitar bubblegum power synth-pop

An unhealthy amount of Gary Numan has been emitting from all available speakers this week, with a bit of Simple Minds here and there and Grace Jones for good measure.

Little Boots on MySpace and YouTube.

Elvis Costello and The Attractions - 'Armed Forces'

just got back from celebrating the big 5 .0 down the coast I've been living in the early 70's as my nephew and niece got my tht "Best of Thin Lizzy " and "THe Best of Sparks " both outstanding The second named album is basically "Kimono my House " "Propoganda" and the third one whose name escapes me "Indiscreet" ?I think All magical stuff with the standout being "Hasta Manana Monsieur" effortlessly clever "You mentioned Kant and I was shocked , so shocked Where I come come the girls do not have such foul tongues " Closely followd by "here in Heaven" ; "At home at work ,at play" Even the Glenn Milleresque "Looks , Looks .Looks " sees the Mael Brothers on fine form
Re Lizzy possibly the first band I fell in love with it was great to hear "Whiskey in the Jar " "Jailbreak" and "The boys are back in town " after all these years " Phil Lynott was larger than life basically
Right I'm off to Dino's bar and grill **
