What are you listening to right now?

This is for all non-EC or peripheral-EC topics. We all know how much we love talking about 'The Man' but sometimes we have other interests.

What a fool I was
What a thin disguise
Brando mumble
Mingus eyes

Was a time she fell
But then she got wise
Brando mumble
Mingus eyes

I never had the squint of James Dean
Or the Stanislavsky tears
Or the rebel hunch that kills
Or the smile that slowly disappears

What a fool I was
What a thin disguise
Brando mumble
Mingus eyes
Brando mumble
Mingus eyes

Yes, but... OK, Google was more helpful than you. Richard Thompson. Mingus Eyes. 1994.

I am currently listening to The Complete Adventures of The Style Council and realising now what on earth was going on with my life at that time let alone Paul Weller's.

So what was going on in your life? There's almost nothing I can bear to listen to by them, not that I have that as an option, so I'm happy to not realise what was going on in Paul's.

I'm playing Katie Melua. Yes, indeed. My wife is keen, and I wanted to hear what she did to the Cure's gorgeous Just Like Heaven. Well, it was pretty predictable. Yawwwn. Nice photos all over the booklet, mind.

Dodgy haircut, dodgy clothes, rubbish Paul Weller albums (The Cost of Loving, Confessions of a Pop Group), no Elvis to speak of...

Foo Fighters - In Your Honor. It's like they've made two 40 minute albums, the first sounds like a pretty good regular Foo Fighters album, it would have been enough. The second, is Grohl playing acoustic, mostly mellow stuff - about half the songs seem like works in progress, Grohl bursts of inspiration that he might polish later but that still draw you in. Although Disc 2 might not hold up as well after a few more listens, Disc 1 should. Fave songs: Disc 1: Resolve, No Way Back, Free Me; Disc 2: What If I Do, Friend Of A Friend, Cold Day In The Sun

I own most of Pink Floyds album. But while I no longer listen to most of them frequently, this is a favourite album of mine. Supposed to be a collection of The Wall-leftovers I think this is much better than The Wall itself. I also love Roger Waters solo album Amused To Death.

Prince - D M S R

I've not heard that much Prince, I own Purple Rain and Around The World... on CD and recently got used vinyl copies of Sign... & 1999. Listening to 1999 as is rather obvious. This track is so awesome :D

Paul Kelly & The Stormwater Boys - Foggy Highway

It ranges from plaintive solo performances by Paul Kelly to full band bluegrass jamming. Most of it sounds like a mix of folk and country though. It sounds great - banjo, fiddle, accordion... Features a Louvin Bros cover with Kasey Chambers, You're Learning. And on the 4 song bonus disc I got, Rank Stranger (Albert E Brumley) which Bob Dylan also covered. I'm listening to this in anticipation of hearing Bruce Springsteen's new The Seeger Sessions album.
