[Albion] What music are you listening to recently?

[maltaseagull]

I probably should have kept my gob shut as the OP simply invited us to say what we were listening to. My bad.

Well said HWT! I have to plead guilty to not liking 99% of your music and sometimes say so.

But then again it is a weird catalogue

 

[maltaseagull]

Last couple of days

The Exciters, Del Shannon, The Doors, Traffic and Brinsley Schwarz

Now that is eclectic!

 

[Hotchilidog]

Today I will be mostly listening to Taylor Swift. Happy birthday Tay!

CS + Kreme 'Orange' amazing leftfield electronica, Eddie Chacon 'Sundown' the second coming of the Charles & Eddie man, Michael J Blood & Sockethead 'Eating Late' wonky house music from the North of England, Unknown Mortal Orchestra 'V' my type of guitar band music and James Holden 'Imagine this is a high dimensional space of all possibilities' another superb electronic album......

​

 

[Seagull on the Hill]

Nothing but Reggae since 1968!

Mostly Motown with a bit of ska since the 60's for me.

 

[Guinness Boy]

My most played artists on Spotify were Underworld, Smith and Mighty and Ezra Collective. Idles and Fontaines DC when I'm in a rock mood.

This is one of my favourite tracks of this year.



Every now and then I dive back to previous obsessions, in chronological order Joy Division / New Order, The Smiths and The The, Mondays, Roses, Inspirals and Flowered Up. After that years of clubbing to house and Detroit techno. Jams Supernova's guest played this the other week. An OLD SCHOOL track. I still think of it as coming out yesterday (The Bells by Jeff Mills as the video hasn't loaded properly)

 

[Harry Wilson's tackle]

Now that is eclectic!

If you think that's eclectic, no wonder you hate my music

For the record, I have Doors and Traffic albums and have seen Brinsley Schwartz live.

Good for you!

(But you do like some weird sh*t)

Spotify AI DJ

 

[raymondo]

Quincy Jones

See what you think of today's offering. And Also the Trees. Live. They started in 83. I've seen them several times. This live album has just been remastered but the youtube version is, I think, the old version. Cracking track though

 

[Peacehaven Wild Kids]

Joy Division / New Order, The Smiths and The The, Mondays, Roses, Inspirals and Flowered Up.

If I listed my top 20 bands all eight of these would probably be in there.

 

[Colonel Mustard]

I’m struggling with the grammar of the thread title.

 

[Bald Head]

My DJ mate gave me a Sisters of Mercy compilation CD about 12 years ago, discovered it in a box a couple of months ago and play it in the car every time i'm in it. Never realised they were so good. Also Nu Breed and Jesse Howard sort of redneck rap/country. Not forgetting Outlaw Nation.

 

[Tubby Mondays]

Ego Ella May
Jorja Smith
The recent Coral Lp

They were ok but very repetitive and his voice isn´t very good.

Better than a lot of your offerings though

Saw this in Manchester in June.

I like Gabriel. I saw him with Genesis, twice, at the Dome. I don't disown my 'old' music.

I accept that Simon's voice is a little idiosyncratic. Not for everyone. These days the voice is deeper (he's got to be 60 now). The stuff I linked is at least 20 years old.

Incidentally I did some external examining on Gozo a few years ago. Stayed at the posh hotel there. This was a madcap scheme by Queen Mary College London to set up a medical school there. I doubt it's still running. Wouldn't knock the weather there, though

I'll try to find something you may like, and will namecheck you to the post when I do. Could be some while, though

 

[Weststander]

The wonderful Disintegration by The Cure.

Never heard of them. Are they Tech House or more Psych Rock?

Kudos for your obscure tastes
