Discussions on your favourite music go on in here .

Chat with each other on what albums, bands, musicians or radio shows you're currently listening to. Or about your all time favourites and make recommendations to other members. Taking the piss out of people in the music industry is also widely encouraged on here.

To get the ball rolling I'll remain in good tune and say that Arctic Monkeys have been getting a lot of play by me lately. I find this band very refreshing. Their mix of hard edge guitar and rythym combined with smooth delivery of biting and smart lyrics is a welcome breath of fresh air in the normally lifeless times between Radiohead albums.

Clever blokes those Arctic Monkeys.
They initially generated interest in themselves and their music through the internet then very quickly rocketed to the top of the charts. They've just got 3 awards at the NME Awards ceremony.

The Arctic Monkeys, who have ridden a wave of internet hype to top the charts, stole the headlines at the NME music awards on Thursday with three prizes, including Best British Band.

Of late I've been listening to a lot of Piano based music...

Dunno why precisely, but it just seemed to fit my musical taste of the moment.

Could it be the sheer resonance of piano music? Whenever I feel the need to chill out, I always play Beethoven's - Moonlight Sonata for Piano. Sublime and simply divine

Easy Star All Stars - Radiodread

Should have posted this last week.

I haven't stopped playing this CD since I got my hands on it early last week. Absolutely superb. I first thought it was a bloody liberty that they'd covered every track on Radiohead's OK Computer, but it's an amazing album of Reggae cover versions. The same group of musicians have done a version of Dark Side of the Moon by Pink Floyd and a collection of Reggae covers of Led Zeppelin tunes... Delph will probably want to strangle them for that but I can assure you, from what I've heard so far, they have done justice to the originals...

Like the original OK Computer by Radiohead, Radiodread also rocks as a political work that is bound to agitate all those who deserve to be agitated, thumped or kicked about the streets for fun by the masses e.g; governments and politicians.

This should probably be on the Jokes section because it's soooo funny, but check it out:-

Anarchy In The UK by The Sex Pistols, Come Together by Lennon & McCartney and Paranoid by Black Sabbath are all hilarious. Enter Sandman by Metallica gets a rendition too

I've just recieved an email from Argie who has linked me to Paul Potts originally from Bristol but now living and working as a mobile phone salesman in Port Talbot, South Wales. He is an amazing opera singer and was recently voted a clear winner of the first; Britain's Got Talent. I normally steer clear of Opera, but this is absolutely stunning:-

If this man doesn't end up a longterm, household name as an excellent singer, something is badly wrong with the music industry.

Truly superb

...

Thanks Argie

Just thought I'd share this relatively new band with you all. They're called; The National and they hail from Brooklyn, New York. This song (their single) is called - Mistaken For Strangers:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cgRsYkKb1eI

Their debut album; Boxer (2007) is exceptional. Strains of Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds, Tindersticks, REM and with the same orchestral clout as Arcade Fire. There isn't a bad track on the album if you want my opinion.

I have a feeling The National are gonna become a force to reckon with on the music scene in time to come. Here's a link to their official website:

http://www.americanmary.com/music/

You can listen to the whole album (streamed) on their MySpace site here:-

Anyways. S'all good...

Enjoy

...

Peace etc...

C'mon people! Bump this one up the YouTube Charts (if they exist). Neil Hannon, their singer is a Derryman and as a writer, he is second to none. Pure feckin' genius this one. A necessary slap right where it hurts ...

Yoav - Charmed & Strange
ASIN: B000Y2WANE
Label - Universal

The entire album is a magnificent combination of musicianship and singer/songwriting. A flawless and perfect soundtrack for chillin' with good friends and listening along to.

Here is the official video on YouTube.com to one of the single releases from it. A track called - Adore, Adore:

I've been rediscovering this wonderful band of late and playing them daily. I love their flowing music, loaded with strummed guitars, horn sections and chilled out, slack bass and rythym. I came across them on a soundtrack to a movie I've now forgotten the title of. It was a coming-of-age piece and beautifully shot.

Here they are doing a live cover version of Arthur Love's classic - Alone Again:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EvDaKudG ... re=related

and here they are with their own tune - Quattro (World Drifts In);

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5nyQuICD ... re=related

I'm sure you'll agree. They are bloody marvellous. I really dig their lyrics and would go as far as saying they summon forth a sort've Leonard Cohen-esque quality - perhaps there is a poetry at work in there that I'm picking up on. Feel free to slag me off about this if you want

Enjoy
