    And on a different note entirely; Du Hast by Rammstein:

    From Steely Dan's Aja album, which was just right for me last Sunday:



    Perfectionists, they went through seven top session guitarists before they were happy with the guitar solo ...

    Death has this much to be said for it:
    You don’t have to get out of bed for it.
    Wherever you happen to be
    They bring it to you—free.

    Weird the way music takes you back. I was in France for a lot of 2013 and remember when that song came out in May of that year. It was everywhere.

    Not really a fan of Spoon, but this song I dig.

    When people hear the word Dubstep, they usually think this really annoying loud music that you'd have to be yoked off your mind to enjoy, but Dubstep is Burial. This guy is as mysterious as his music. I think there is no better music to listen to whilst panned out on the couch or on your bed and you're just thinking about everything. When I used work late nights I used have to walk about a half hour home through the city at about 1/2am and I used always play Burial. Absolutely incredible how lost you get in it and the elements of last night in the city, the cold, the dark, the street lights, the traffic breezing by, the fear associated with being alone in the city at night...the music just heightens everything

    I think I have a favourite track by him everyday as he has never released a bad one but I quite like this for the vocals.... Burial has to be listened through good headphones though, it really cannot be understated



    This too is ridiculous.


    Anyone who hasn't should do themselves a favour and at least listen to his "Untrue" album...one of the best albums of the last 20 years and certainly the best album I have heard in the last decade.

    Good headphones. Lights out. Relax.

    I wholeheartedly agree with everything Talib has just said and described

    Liking the Buried stuff so far. I'm sure it'll grow on me even more, too.

    Heard this for the first time about a year ago and had to instantly go ask the guy playing it what it was.

    You've surely heard this then? :D

    Not an official video but this western/mexican ambient-y Calexico track works so well with the footage.

    An old favourite, though probably by myself on this one



    Also listening to Kimya Dawson and Adam Green again, after catching Kimya's gig into a few months ago

    Andy Stott from Manchester, latest album on repeat constantly the last few months.


    And a lot of Rezzett too. Burial fans up in here will hopefully dig this

    Man, I'd forgotten about that track. Good call PM. Though I'd disagree with you re the video. I think it's a great video myself. IMH of course.

    Rejoice in the awareness of feeling stupid, for that’s how you end up learning new things. If you’re not aware you’re stupid, you probably are.

    The video for Starlight is absolutely fantastic. Love it.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 13,385 ✭✭✭✭D'Agger


    I've remonstrated with people at parties for attempting to skip Starlight prior to its completion

    Thats right.....I party

    Been listening to the recently released remastered(yet again) Sgt Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band and it finally got the mix it deserved. Sounds quite different, much brighter and more open.

    Same.

    Really got into The Beatles 4 or 5 years ago, listen to them most days.

    If you are ever in Vegas, I'd urge you to attend the Cirque de Soleil show, Love.

    It's soundtracked entirely by Beatles songs.

    Breathtaking doesn't come close to describing it.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 22,477 ✭✭✭✭Knex*


    One of my favourite songs of the past few years. A real sit back and relax one. Puts me in a great head space.



    And an Everything Everything song. Don't know how to describe these, tbh. Indie Rock is the genre, but they've hints of Bowie and all sorts in their music. Their last album, Get to Heaven, was outstanding. Can't wait for their new one.

    Great craic belting along to this song, and the lyrics are a joy. "Its alright, to feel like a fat child in a push chair. Old enough to run. Old enough, to fire a gun". All with a great build up and crescendo.



    This song, 'Regret', 'To The Blade', and 'Spring, Summer, Winter, Dread' are the fantastic, imo.

    I've got Bonnie and Clyde by Serge Gainsbourg and Brigitte Bardot on repeat. I still can't tell if it's terrible or brilliant.

    As a rule shows like the xfactor and the like are a pet hate of mine. I think they are cruel, exploitative and lowest common denominator stuff but sometimes, sometimes, an absolute gem is unearthed.

    A mate of mine posted this on FB last year and it recently cropped up in my memories. This young ladies voice took my breath away when I first heard it and it still raises the hairs on the back of my neck. Proof positive that some people are just born with a natural talent, you cannot learn this.



  • Registered Users Posts: 48,990 ✭✭✭✭Lithium93_


    ^^^^ Wow, that is amazing.

    And I agree with your bit about shows like The X-Factor.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 762 ✭✭✭Movie Maestro


    Really like these two current songs...VERY upbeat:D:D:D

    Dan Auerbach - Shine On Me




    UMAN - Flamin Day
