I thought it was amazing. Filmed a few bits on phone but I’ve no idea how to post a clip on here😀

Unexpected return to form for Death Cab For Cutie with Asphalt Meadows, not classic DCFC but miles better than their last few offerings.
Same can't be said for the new "number 1" album from Shed Seven. Sounds like The Zutons with worse lyrics. Brutal.
Watched the Burns night thing on BBC Scotland, pretty good mix even though I'm not a burns fan
Right now though I'm watching Raye live from the Royal Albert Hall on iPlayer. Outstanding, never heard of her until the Brits nominations, but I have to get the live double album of the concert.
The castros. Band from Glenrothes. Lead singer Brad is a good hibby as well.
Hifi Sean and David Mcalmont in preparation for the gig on Thursday.

Bonnie Prince Bob with another stonker.

I’m listening to Robin Trower’s Bridge of Sighs. Not a great fan of his guitar style but what a voice James Dewar had. Vastly underrated as a vocalist and was a decent bass bass player to boot.

When out for a drive today a song came on the radio and I've been listening to quite a bit of the band today .

Newly discovered Sex Pistols soundboard recording from July, 1997 in Sweden.
Sounds great, even Sid is doing his job.

Heard this on the radio this morning. Snowy White, former guitarist with Pink Floyd and Thin Lizzy. Echoes of Mark Knopfler, Alvin Lee and Eric Clapton. The guitar work on this track is terrific.

The YouTube algorithm chucked David Gilmour's new track out at me last night, "Between two points", David on guitar with his daughter Romany singing on it. Really nice relaxing music with a typically great DG solo closing the track off. It is off his new album due out later this year. I am a bit of a fan boy when it comes to DG so you'll only get positive notes from me about any of his music but I think it is worth checking the track out.
Unfortunately health issues prevent me from travelling atm. The closest I’ll get to DG this year is going to see Aussy Pink Floyd later this year. I know what you mean with tickets but it seems to have turned into the norm, having to take a second mortgage to pay for a gig!!
This is the closest I got to him at the Royal Albert Hall. Some guy's fist, lots of lasers and Benedict Cumberbatch doing the second vocal on Comfortably Numb.

Guns n roses this weekend . Brilliant band .
https://youtu.be/f8OHybVhQwc?si=J-wM-DfaWjlRUOw5
Sitting here putting together a playlist of Gerry Rafferty songs. So many brilliant ones to choose from …….. forgot how brilliant he was ( I didn’t really but every time I return to his music reminds me.)
Idles - Tangk. Took a few listens to get into this but enjoying it a lot now.
Kneecap - Fine art. Irish rap, it's better than you would think!
Soft play - heavy jelly, really enjoying this one
Camera Obscura's first album for a long time and it's excellent.
Currently listening to white light, white heat, white trash by Social Distortion.

Any Hibees who like punk give On the Huh a listen saw them at Punk on the Peninsula and recently at Rebellion great live and the album is superb

Miguel Brignano's compilation of Hibs Songs. There's a medley of chants in there and some errm, "bangers". Malta Hibs tho'. Viva Hibernians, hibernian till I die. Hibs force always. Poala Boys medley has some familiar stuff.

I'm sure there was a thread for music recommendations but I can't find it so I'll start this one.
Pale Jay - Low end love songs.
It's not a classic album but it has a lovely groove.
I had a listen to their album and thought they sounded pretty good. Definitely influenced by cock sparrer and heard hints of menace, Angelic Upstarts in there too.
Since it came out last month I I've been playing the Zatopeks new album, "loitering and sauntering" to death. My favourite album of 2024 so far.

New band called Gurriers really good album.
Been listening a lot to Fontaine’s DC.
I knew Deek Allen for a short while when he lived around Portobello, I hung around that area with a few skinheads and spoke to him regularly as he had not long formed Oi Polloi and we were starting up a band and they wanted us to hook up with them to support in local gigs, unfortunately we got no further than aimlessly thrashing around on **** kit purchased from Bostons second hand shop on Leith Walk. My bass send 240 volts through my arms and the guitarists 100w amp blew up which almost set fire to St Martins church hall.
We called it a day after that 😁 Oi Polloi changed style to a more imo distasteful super charged Anarcho-punk and I think other than Deek they had a revolving door put on their tour bus as I think they went through around 50 or 60 band members, I preferred them as an Oi band but fair play as they still have a core following, not bad for a band who started in the 80s.
I vaguely remember Win with their beer advert song. On a down day I like to blast off some Blitz, particularly Voice of a Generation.
Ordered a repress of the Supersuckers "La Mano Cornuda" from sub pop last Wednesday and it arrived this morning, all the way from Seattle. That's quicker than most places in UK.
Been on the wants list for a long, long while as it's always been pretty hard to get.

Ezra Collective's new album, Dance, no one's looking, has got it going.
Getting ready to go out? Grab a drink, Cuba libre?, and play it loud.
I'm smiling listening to it now.
My favourite band, Breaking Benjamin, just dropped a new song yesterday - Awaken.
If my listen count is below 50 at this point I'd be surprised. Instant nostalgiac sound and a heavier sound in places...absolutely in love and hoping this is kicking off a new album build-up.
Not listening but reading an enjoyable book by Michael Faber called Listen. Unlike most books about music this isn't a list of what they like, it looks at how music can shape us from the earliest age. It starts with 'the mozart effect' and goes from there.
The Teskey Brothers
Paul Heatons new album The Mighty Several. The lyrics are just superb. Following Jacqui Abbots sabbatical he’s supported on stage by young Scottish singer Rianne Downie.
Chris Hoy audiobook out tomorrow
New Script Album Satellites totally different sound first since the death of their Bass Guitarist Mark Sheehan ahead of their tour OVD Hydro 26th of the month
Dinny Greet by REDOLENT
"States of Play" by Miguel Delaney
"The definitive account of how capitalism and the world's elite corrupted modern foot all"
Listening to 'From Zero' - Linkin Park's new album. I've been a fan of LP since they were called Hybrid Theory (just before they changed to LP and released the album Hybrid Theory) - I absolutely love the new sound and the new album is excellent IMO. I can hear nods to every single era of their history sonically.
Dusting off some vintage vinyl tonight.
Billon Dollar Babies by Alice Cooper from the days when Alice Cooper was the name of the band. Good old fashioned Glam Rock at it's best. :greengrin
Maybe not the right thread for this but I’ve played this for years and came across it earlier today. Beatles nostalgia and very clever.

Mainly the missus, but i did get some earphones for xmas.:dj:
The Hearts getting pumped
The Dudley Moore Trio from the sixties. Cool jazz.
I was listening to a lot of new vinyl that appeared in the house at the end of last year. 😉
All very good, but one disappointment, Double album by Chappell Roan only has 3 sides, side D is blank!!
If you like podcasts and music, especially the Beatles, there’s one called UnBeatled. It’s a guy ( from Edinburgh I think) and Beatles experts who dissect and discuss the music, lyrics and influences of a different Beatles track each time. So far they’ve done Please Please Me, Here Comes The Sun, Help, Lady Madonna, She Loves You, Yellow Submarine and Penny Lane. It’s very good and easy listening.
New Franz Ferdinand album, The Human Fear.
Heard a remix on Craig Charles' Funk and Soul Show of Spanish Moon by Little Feat. One of my favourite songs by one of my all-time favourite bands.
It's by a guy called Andy Buchan, who I think is Scottish.
My problem is that I can't decide whether it is one of the Feat themselves singing, or Robert Palmer. They have a history together, as RP used LF as his band for his first 2 albums, and was rumoured to have been courted as their lead singer. He also does a version of Spanish Moon, but I'm not sure it's this one.
So... any Little Feat/Robert Palmer geeks out there who can help?

Free 20 year anniversary version of Earlimart's classic Treble And Tremble album with bonus tracks, although doubt if many on here will have heard of them going by this thread!
Been trying to build up my The Beatles vinyl collection. Spent the last few days listening to what I have. Think it’s between Revolver and Sargent Peppers for my favourite.
Awaiting the new Architects album in February - they've released 4 tracks from it so far and they're back to being ferociously heavy again.
New single today, Blackhole, is incredible.
Not had Sam Fenders new album off since Friday. Superb. Lots of Springsteen influence

Picked up Gerry Rafferty’s Night Owl for 11quid.
Abbey Road remaster sounds fantastic.
Just recently discovered Alice in chains . Just finished listening to Dirt , what an album , id put it up as 1 of the best albums of the 90s
Have some Wolf Alice on one of my playlists, decent stuff
Been listening to both the new Silverstein 'album' (a stretch at only 8 tracks to be honest) and the new Architects album - loving both of them!
Just wanted to record the fact that this weekend was the 60th birthday of the release of Bringing It All Back Home by Bob Dylan.
So many classic songs in the 5th album released by Dylan, at the tender age of just 23.
1. "Subterranean Homesick Blues" 2. "She Belongs to Me" 3. "Maggie's Farm" 4. "Love Minus Zero/No Limit" 5. "Outlaw Blues" 6. "On the Road Again" 7. "Bob Dylan's 115th Dream"
I've just discovered The Lottery Winners, and Indie band from Manchester.
I'm not listening to any particular album, just their songs on Spotify, but I'm enjoying them immensely.
Very good, and clear, lyrics and good tunes.
Not so much what I'm listening to, but who I've been listening to over the decades.
Warren Zevon has been inducted to the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, and Steve Earle to the Grand Ole Opry.
I have never seen Steve so emotional:-

I saw somebody recommend the programme on the I-player about Rory Gallagher, looked up his wiki and saw him referred to as “the greatest guitarist you’ve never heard of”.
So I’m listening to his stuff right now and it is superb. How has this managed to pass me by until now?
Thanks for posting.
In 2017 The Telegraph called Steven Wilson "probably the most successful British artist you’ve never heard of." Recommended. This video is from the last of three sold out nights at the Royal Albert Hall.

The new album 'Even In Arcadia' by Sleep Token is incredible. I didn't think they'd be able to live up to 'Take Me Back To Eden' but I really enjoyed the new album.
On my third listen just now and I keep discovering little nuggets I missed first time around etc.
The heavy sections are fierce, but it's such a well-balanced record - lost track of how many genres I've clocked on it.
