Currently Listening To.... mark IV 2015

I've just watched a documentary film about Sigur Ros called Heima. Having toured (and conquered) the world for years they went home to Iceland and played free gigs around the country. These gigs ranged from church halls to a big open air gig in Reykjavik. They're an incredible live act and Popplagio is often the closing number (if you're not sure wind the vid on to 10 minutes).................

 

As usual, at this time of day Radio 4.

 

Love Elvis Presley and this is one of my favourite songs that he sang.

 

It's one of my favourites to Val.

 

Just watching something on 'Yesterday' tv, and they just played this, something I'd completely forgotten. A reminder of the genius of Hendrix....

 

Hiya @shiney
'A Whiter Shade Of Pale' is obviously a classic. But in some ways, I prefer this one...

 

This is the sort of thing I cannot get out of my head whilst in the garden. Just runs and runs.



To compound things my mind will tend to change the chorus according to what I am doing at the given time. So "Play it now baby" becomes "prune it now baby" "plant it now baby" etc etc repeat and fade to chorus.

Odd but true.

 

@Paullypaul - Neil Diamond is a bit of a guilty pleasure for me. I Am I Said is his finest by a country mile IMO................


I am also partial to a bit of early Billy Joel. I've posted this a few times but it bears repeating............


I heard this on Radio 6 this morning................


I had forgotten just how good Primal Scream were. They were formed in the early eighties by Bobby Gillespie and Jim Beatie whilst Gillespie was still playing drums with the Jesus And Mary Chain. I know that this is a repeat but still pretty much as good as the eighties got..................

 

All fine tunes Long. The Billy Joel will of course become Paeony Man once it has cycled through my brain a couple of times.

 

The Moody Blues 'Night's In White Satin' never fails to send a chill through me..... a great song!
