In Rainbows - this is that strange and wonderful musical beast, the album that gets better with each listen. For a while people who’s opinion I rate have been whispering that this is Radiohead’s best album, and I’m starting to concur.

Whilst I think it loses something in translation, technically I think it's "decode" (assuming your files are compressed in some way).

Depends if you're going to 'play it out', I suppose. But the first few listens definitely reveal a few lost classics.

In Rainbows 2 is worth a listen too, its about 30 minutes worth of stuff that didn’t make it onto the first album, and whilst some of the tracks sound a bit b-sidey, it has some absolute corkers - 4 Minute Warning being one of their best ever tracks IMO.

Not sure about this. I love the Black Keys and this collaboration with some rap people is good in places but doesn't work in other places. For me, the rap overtakes the rocky blues, and I like the rocky blues.

A couple of songs that are below average but some brilliant and beautiful songs. Slow ballards, some sounding like the Guillemots.

Certainly not as good as Van Occupanther, with nothing that really stands out. A bit more gentle than the last one, but a good collection of folky songs.

The Pains of Being Pure at Heart - The Pains of bieng pure at heart

a variety of songs by Villagers, from his myspace site, which were pretty good. Saw him supporting Fyfe Dangerfield and thought he was good on stage.....a little odd and very intense, but good.

This is the general consensus from a lot of music publications. I've not heard much Midlake but some love it but some have slated it. I might obtain it and give it a go. I am looking forward to Shearwater's new album this year. I think you may like it judging from your recent listens.

I'm listening to The Big Pink's album at the moment, getting ready to see them next weekend. Shamefully excited!

Wow. OK you got me with that second one. A beautiful song. I'm going to have to invest in a CD. Although I'm not sure whether it's the song or the poem "within" the song. Incredibly moving and personally very poignant right now. I was moved to look up the words.


Stay.
That's what mothers say when their sons and daughters go away, they say stay.
My mother said go.
So I wasn't there the night she fell out of her wheelchair, so frustrated that she amputated her own legs, or rather tried to with a steak knife. Her life leaking out on the white floor blossoming like roses in the snow.
Our relationship was an anthem composed of words like "gotta go". So we went. Sent our regards on postcards from other places we'd been with stories about all the things we'd seen, and that's how it was with you and I; why say good bye when we could still write.
But then it took your hands. We should've practiced our good byes, because then it took your eyes. And I was somewhere, in the middle of nowhere watching the sun rise over a stop sign placed down the centre line of a highway filled with sudden turns for the worse. Running back home 'cause I gotta play nurse.
Gotta figure out which pill aleviates which pain, which part of your brain is being used for a boxing bag as your body became a never ending game of freeze tag, taking place in an empty playground. I was left looking for your limbs in a lost and found, and I couldn't set you free.
So we just sat there, our heads bent towards each other like flowers in the small hours of the morning, while light wandered in like a warning that time is passing and you right along with it, bit by bit every day.
So we just keep talking, and she smiles whenever she remembers something as simple as walking.
And if I could I would write you some way out of this, but my gift is useless. And my mother says no. Write me a poem to make me happy.

I wrote move pen move, write me a bedroom where cures make love to our cancers... But my mother just motions toward a bottle full of answers and says "help me go".
And now I know something of how a piano must feel when it looks at the fireplace to see sheet music being used for kindling, smoke signaling the end of some song that I thought it would take too long to learn. I just sit here watching you burn away all those notes I never had a chance to play, to hear the music of what you had to say.
But I count out the pills just to see if I can do it, and I can't even get halfway through it before I turn back into your son and say Stay.

I could hook up my heart to your ears, and let my tears be your morphine drip because maybe it's easier to let you slip away than it is to say goodbye.
So I hold my breath. because in the count down to death the question of "why" melts into "when". How much time do we have left, because if I knew what I know now then... move pen move, write me a mountain. Because headstones are not big enough.
My mother says stop, write me a poem to make me happy. So I write this.
Stay.
She smiles, and says "gotta go". I know. Goodbye.

I can also see the Nick Drake comparison and also a bit of Tom Baxter. And in speaking that poem over the top reminded me of that other great Canadian poet 'Laughing' Leonard Cohen. Stunning.

[St Landrew]

Never heard of that before.
Any good?

I love '25 O'Clock'.

Blimey..! Really never heard of it..? I think you'll find plenty of it on Youtube.

It's actually 2 EPs combined into an album:

First one is 25 O'clock

1. 25 O'clock
2. Bike Ride To The Moon
3. My Love Explodes
4. What In The World
5. Your Gold Dress
6. The Mole From The Ministry

Second one is Psonic Psunspot

1. Vanishing Girl
2. Have You Seen Jackie..?
3. Little Lighthouse
4. You're A Good Man
5. Collideascope
6. You're My Drug
7. Shiny Cage
8. Brainiac's Daughter
9. The Affiliated
10 Pale & Precious

Have fun finding them.

At the moment I'm listening to Peter Gabriel - 2

The second one is a really beautiful song, helped along by the marvellous reading of the poem by Shane Koyczan, who also wrote the poem while Mangan wrote the music for it at a later date. If you're going for a CD i'd go ahead and get Postcards and Daydreaming (2007) which is a lovely album. He's also got various EPs and singles out, so if you're going to go the full hog get the Roboteering EP as well, which includes Tragic Turn of Events (the song you just heard). Would love to see him live sometime, but he doesn't come over to the UK very often although he was touring in early 2009 so I just missed him. Blast.

Got there eventually. It's not the easiest listening. ;)

But it is worthwhile.

There is music I can listen to in short bursts, and music I can take lots of. This falls into the first category. The anger and sorrow, the love and tragedy is very intense, and I don't think I could take an album of it, straight off. Does that make sense..?

[St Landrew]

The Dan Mangan stuff has kind of inspired me to listen to Laurie Anderson - Mr Heartbreak. In its own way it is just as intense and emotional.

I had a brief look round last night for the Roboteering E.P. but couldn't see it in physical form - only downloads. Looks like it might be out of stock. I love having my music downloadable, but only once I've bought the CD. Ah well I might have buy the download version.

Re the tour, I'm forever doing that. Bloody frustrating.

I know exactly what you mean. I think it's the sort of song that you really don't want to listen to too many times anyway. It's appeal is its directness and its impact relies on it being fresh.

As you'll also imagine, no doubt, I was curious. I lasted all of one minute, not before I creamed, but before brain matter started emerging from my ears. The sort of response one gets when the theme tune to Eastenders is played to anyone while they are strapped down and can't resist. Beyond f*cking awful.

I suppose it would just kill you to realise that I quite like the odd Teardrop Explodes track..? :)

David Byrne & Brian Eno - My Life In The Bush Of Ghosts

I can't figure out Brian Eno, is he a genius or is he simply a crackpot? Or is he both? :rolleyes:
Myself, i'm chillaxing with a bit of Roots Manuva - Brand New Second Hand.

Yeah, I know what you mean. He probably is a genius, who is on the cusp of being a crackpot. Quite an influence on modern music, yet being able to run his own direction.

Anyway, I'm rattling through them tonight. Now:

The Art of Noise - In Visible Silence

[SuperMikey]

Yeah, I know what you mean. He probably is a genius, who is on the cusp of being a crackpot. Quite an influence on modern music, yet being able to run his own direction.

I've had to study him rather intensively as a Music Technology student (which is harder than it sounds!), and some of the stuff he's done has been amazing, while other stuff has just been confusing. He defines Electro-Acoustic music and yes, modern music would not be what we know without him.

Anyone else's Spotify skipping a bit tonight? Mine seems to stop randomly for a few seconds at a time every 40-50 seconds. Not a bandwidth issue as i'm the only one using the internet on my connection at the moment...

[St Landrew]

Just watched Amy Williams become Great Britain's first individual Olympic Champion since Robin Cousins in 1980. Everybody kept shouting Amy, and it reminded me of some particular lyrics. Can anyone remember this chorus, and identify the artist and the song...? Hopefully, I've got this right because I've taken it from memory.

Amy, I may not be James Dean
Amy, I may not be nineteen
And I may still be in romper boots and jeans
but oooh Amy, you're the girl that wrecks my dreams

[St Landrew]

Last album tonight, and I've blown guitar practice again. Think I've had the guitar in my hands for an hour this week. Poor. Anyway:

Joe Jackson - Night & Day.

Von Drake - Color Collector

[Julian H. Cope]

Booka Shade - The Sun & The Neon Light.

It worked a treat. I slept a full 10 hours last night, doubling my usual amount. Brilliant! I fully recommend the Saintsweb podcast to everyone, although I feel a little drowsy this morning so I'll make sure I don't operate any heavy machinery. Thanks Saintsweb!

Slipknot-Psychosocial

[Block 5]

Small Faces - 'Ogden's Nut Gone Flake'.

If so, expect to get £70 - £100 for it.

For those people who have been unable to sleep since I posted this question at 2.00am this morning, the artist was Elton John, the song is, of course, Amy, and the album is Honky Chateau.
