    It really is outstanding. I would say No Shade in the Shadow of the Cross or Eugene are my favourites, but I tend to only listen to the album as a whole.

    I've been listening to some pretty far-flung music recently:

    Toggle Spoiler


    I've really come to see 'world music' as so much more interesting than the majority of stuff made here.

    Watching Spoon going through the stages of his life from a bird's eye view is great. The phase of rejecting mainstream/Western music is upon us.

    This is a good song. The cover version by The Fall is pretty good too.

    Firelflies is a banging choon by Owl City.



    This song is the fucking balls. Shit, that emotion. She's singing about being a black woman in a U.S. ghetto too, so as a white British male that was brought up in a leafy suburb of Sheffield I can completely relate to that shit.

    I've had it on repeat for a few days and I ain't bored of it yet. Anyone alive in the 90's will recognise a couple of lines used as samples too.

    For those who've enjoyed Carrie and Lowell, here's a similar sounding track from some rodeo score thing Sufjan did this year:

    Wild Horses

    It's so good. On that note, I've spent the evening sorting out my collection of his unreleased material. If anyone's interested I have 54 tracks of outtakes, rarities, covers, etc.

    You guys should Jeremy Loops a listen. Uses a loop pedal and everything. Big in South Africa (we've got a good music scene) and has become a bit more international in the last year or two.

    It sounded pretty good on first listen. Very Springsteen in places. I have no real knowledge of the source material though, bar a couple of the singles. I feel like I should listen to it now, if only for a bit of a reference point.

    I can see it's raised a bit of debate online too, namely about the media reaction to it being a little bit condescending to Taylor Swift. Which is do think is a somewhat valid point. Even though he obviously did't mean it that way it all, and she seems more excited about it than anyway.

    I've currently got Buckethead's discography on the go, which is 1.7 days' worth of music. Been going through it since Friday.

    Yeah, maybe my 'discography' is a bit outdated then.

    That is genuinely batshit.

    I think he's creative enough to just make music off the bat. A modern day Frank Zappa with a KFC bucket on his head.

    She was my 'solo material' for quite a while in the mid noughties.

    One of the best songs by one of the most underrated bands of the 80s. Fucking Prefab Sprout, they're more than a shit name and that song about hot dogs.

    Who's your favourite composer? This piece is from a score Sufjan did for a ballet last year. It's so wonderful that I uploaded it for you guys to listen to.

    https://soundcloud.com/ceejay92/04-i...chable-heights

    Is there a way to embed Soundcloud tracks?

    I like Chopin a lot. Brahms's 4th is probably my favourite full orchestral piece, especially the first movement. Proper goosebumps and shit.



    The Lark Ascending is just about the perfect piece of classical music though I reckon.



    Sufjan Stevens is ridiculously talented. I've not actually listened to anything he's done since the Illinois album...maybe I should rectify that.

    Been listening to this stuff lately:

    Fabulous song, it takes me elsewhere to a desolate place, like Detroit or something, in search of a girl I'll never get. Like Dr Hannah Fry.



    I just love this. It reminds me a bit of Placebo.



    Another tremendous song. Very deep.

    Nah I haven't yet, I see some vids online and a full set link apparently as well. tbh I just heard about that and the new confirmed lineup this morning.

    I knew they were going to do new stuff but didn't realize it was already happening. I'm pretty out of the loop music wise I'll admit, don't really have a "go-to" site when it comes to stuff like that. I knew Matt Tong (drummer) had left the band but didn't realize the bassist left as well.

    My music updates generally come from word of mouth, "New Releases" on spotify, or typing the words I hear of songs playing in clothing stores with "lyrics" at the end into google.

    Any recommendations greatly appreciated as such.

    Mirror in the Bathroom is a fucking tune, though I first heard it when one of the blokes was on the identity parade on NMTB.

    I was brought up in Rugby which is about 10 miles down the road from Cov, so I was always quite aware of Ska, though with the exception of my mum occasionally playing her Specials greatest hits CD I didn't ever hear much as a kid. She's more into northern soul really.

    Oh, that reminds me...when I was in a bar in Riga some dorky Latvian teenager in a Less Than Jake tshirt got chatting to me and my mates, and the fact I was from Coventry (ish) and liked the Specials was worth a constant supply of free drinks and an introduction to this fit girl he knew.
