Celebrating: long awaited releases from Fleet Foxes and Lorde. Both are brilliant.

 

The grey NATO podcast

 

This one played on the CBC around the time I arrived in Canada; I still have a fondness for it. I'mlistening to it today on Canada Day.
"Log driver's waltz", written by a Canadian railroad draftsman, performed by the McGarrigle sisters:

I've taken quite a liking to the Radio Garden website..you can select from over 10,000 radio stations around the world from using a google earth type interface. Go to the country you want, and click on a station 'dot'. Pretty cool, I've been listening to a station on Maui the past couple weeks..relaxing island music.

The Cure...Disintegration...

 

Catching up on admin, listening to "Ladies and Gentleman" - George was a pretty fantastic musician, writer, and producer.

Spinning the wheel on of my favourites... and it was kept from the No1 spot in the UK, by the SpiceGirls with "Wannabe"...

Pulled this out tonight. An under appreciated Prog Rock chestnut I've not listened to in years.

 

I think so too. It's his masterpiece but it's not for everybody and I don't listen to it often - demands a chunk of emotional commitment to be heard properly.

 

Great prog band. I was playing Journey To The Centre Of The Eye in the car only last week.

 

Moved to Oakland today. Some call it slums, some call it nice

 

A fantastic interview with Marc Maron reminded me of how much I love Taj Mahal:
