Very early English and Italian emo.

Nice, but very short haha. Reminds me a bit of Fennesz.

Great song! And yeah that's the one downside. Though I think I prefer short to excessively long songs.

It's cold and rainy right now, so I'm listening to Le Lendemain's Lois off of their album Fires.

It suits the weather nicely. Here, try on Petrichor for size.

Really?! Ambient Black Metal doesn't have that much of a following. Especially the weird stuff, like Brenoritvrezorkre. I've listened to that song maybe twice. It's kind of hard, since it's an hour long and all! :P But I love the bit with the blast beat. It's so relentless.

Anywho! Today it's quite beautiful out. It's supposed to thunderstorm later, but hey! I love thunderstorms. I haven't listened to Flica in awhile, so I put on some Nocturnal. It's so nice. I think of him and Uyama Hiroto as Summer musicians. Their music is so warm.

I'm not crazy about it, but I do love most Club oriented genres. I adore Progressive House, and enjoy Tech, Latin, and Tribal House as well. Then you have Electro and Techno and Trance and whatnot. It's all great.

Yeah I've heard a couple of his songs. I think I have more folk from The Tallest Man on Earth than anyone else. I love his music!

Right now I'm listening to D. Carbone - Apparence. Technotechnotechno.

It’s just the other way around. It’s Nick Cave’s song.

Biosphere - Too fragile to walk on
Most probably one of his greatest tracks.

Rhian Sheehan - Standing in Silence - Part 3

Sufjan Stevens - Chicago, on my old vinyl player.

William Walton: film music, and ‘A History of the English Speaking Peoples’ march (more Elgar than Elgar).

I was on an Eurovision Noise Contest party on Saturday. The show had ended with music, namely a performance by Jan Delay. Now I am listening to his album Wir Kinder vom Bahnhof Soul with enjoyment. And in spite of my Sennheiser HD600, which is almost a high end headphone, I don’t hear all text passages, because some of them are very mumbled. (The text is not important. It’s just the music.)

Carissa's Wierd - Silently Leaving the Room

Gloriously beautiful Sadcore.

Miguel Ettema's remix of the "1942" game music which itself is based on the main theme from "633 Squadron", in the hope of drowning out a sixteen-beat drum loop that's worming through my head, going 'patapatapatapatapataclap-clap-clap!' And for those wondering, it's the beat in Boney M's "Nightflight to Venus". Sad? Sick? I just dunno...

I was recently listening to "A Summer Song" by Chad and Jeremy.

@Vilbel

Second Bad is great. Ae is a long-time favorite. My computer is Anvil, my phone is Vapre.

If you haven't already, go to Biosphere's site and get Kill By Inches

Other gems among his downloads: Rachel's Wire and Som Evige Stjerner

Also, check out Hecq's Night Falls. Biosphere meets Autechre.

@Vilbel

Vletrmx21 is certainly a top Ae for me, why the Garbage EP finishes so well.

If you like a bit harder stuff with EBM influences, look into Trentemøller's The Last Resort (the double version). It's Haujobb + Autechre—the glitch of Ae with the harder/darker beats of Haujobb. His other stuff doesn't hold up as well for me, but TLR has some great moments: Polar Shift, Take Me Into Your Skin, Always Something Better, and Killer Kat (Bonus Track).

Haujobb have been a favorite since the mid '90s, constant growth and progression from them. I like Ninetynine for its minimalism and detail, so the connection to Ae and the like is easy for me.

Hecq also does a fantastic remix of Metric from Haujobb's Vertical Theory (which is how I found Hecq in the first place).

Circuitous as always.

Empire! Empire! (I Was a Lonely Estate) - They Will Throw Us To The Wolves

I love them. I love them to death. I can't listen to them for extended amounts of time though, mainly because of how sad their music is. It's definitely not feel-good party pop, so I'd give it a pass if you haven't much of a penchant for sad music like I do.

Carlo Gesualdo: Madrigaux Livre V (The fifth book of madrigals), interpreted by the vocal ensemble Métamorphoses under the direction of Maurice Bourbon

Konstruktivists: Psyko Genetika

I just scored a copy of Their Satanic Majesties Request with the lenticular cover, at a Value Village in Winnipeg, for $2.
Pretty good condition too.
I had bought the album when it came out in ’67, but it went AWOL years ago.
Listening to it again, what a strange album.
Of course, quite a bit derivative of Sgt. Pepper, but lots of very well put together original stuff, and some jammin’.
2,000 Light Years From Home is awesome!
Step right up…

Other than that, have tried very hard to like the new Feist, Coldplay and Florence, but failed.
Still listening to Arcade Fire’s The Suburbs, IMO the best rock album in a long time.

Selecions from the massive archive of BBC Radio 4's In Our Time programme.

Now you're just dropping names, Christopher: from the quality of that photo, it could very well be you on the stage and TANAKAP at the table! ;-)

pretty fly for a white guy.

You just missed a rare opportunity to simultaneously use an eð and an æsc. Tsk, tsk.

Sorry, I meant œðel!

And so this is Christmas…
The same old seasonal crap wherever I go, for the last month.
Bah, humbug!

L'Adieu des Bergers by H. Berlioz.

The soundtrack to Hal Hartley's Amateur.

Ella Fitzgerald – Blue Skies.

Balada Conducatorolui - Taraf de Haidouks

Miles Davis bossa nova LP

There are honest type designers but there's probably more charlatans, I saw a poll in Forbes, it's the same with musicians.

I listen to 4' 33". Again.

Often I listen, at work, to Alabama 3's "Hits and Exit Wounds". Musically accomplished, witty, profane, something for everyone.

Slightly tangential - I had a phone call from one of those machines which convert a text message to voice in a Hawking-esque manner. All it said was: "What are you wearing?". I can perhaps just see the point of this sort of call being made in person, but surely the use of an intervening service denies the perpetrator all the fun. Later that day I found that a friend of my daughter had texted her to ask what she was wearing to a party that night, and mistakenly sent it to our home number.

"Les contes d'Hoffmann" Offenbach

Anyone ever listen to Priory? Their debut album was a pleasant surprise for me. I highly recommend it.

Meltwater drops beating an impressive drummer's call.

...

Billy Idol ...all.

Dwight Yoakam ...all.

This is my current earworm: Bob Ralston playing Country Gardens on harpsichord with swing and awash.

Not really sure how I feel about it just yet, but I'm listening to Japan's Tin Box.

Il Rumore Del Fiore Di Carta - Mira

Gorgeous song. But the video? You have to at least watch the video.

And now it's my precious Sonus Futurae tape... and 1111 this post has type.

If you google for the name, go to Images and pick the record sleeve, you'll find the band's name in almost-canon Moore Computer. The tape, however, has the name in decidedly-NOT-canon Moore Computer.

Edit: You can see the sleeve on these two Youtube videos as well: Myndbandið and Skyr með rjóma. FYI, this is a tad old-fashioned synth pop.
