MUSIC .... What's on your playlist at the moment ??

[senecio]

Shihad - Beautiful Machine.

Absolute standout for me. I was expecting something else, but was pleasantly surprised.

[adlo]

Did anyone check out the Nick Cave exhibit when it was in their neck of the woods?

It is quite good. A lot of interesting stuff. Bloody talented guy, even if you don't love the music. Some anecdotes about recording with Johnny Cash were great.

In light of that, have been enjoying:

Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds: Abattoir Blues (highlight: Let The Bells Ring)
The Lyre Of Orpheus (highlight: Supernaturally)
Nocturama

Also,

Shearwater: Palo Santo (highlights: La Dame Et La Lincorne and Seventy-Four, Seventy-five)

DMB new one, Groogrux King is getting a bit of rotation. I would say this album is better than I first thought. A return to form. The production is a bit shiny, so need to look past that.

Really liking the new Regina Spektor songs, album out soon.
Also the new Dappled Cities single that jjj are pumping, catchy tune.

Just discovered her this week on Triple J. Like what I have heard.

I love wacking on the tube

Yeah. OK buddy.

One of my all time faves:

I love these guys. "My God" is probably my favorite track.

That is an awesome clip, Just.

Change of Radiohead song??

I must admit I love Corduroy. Awesome song and one of the highlights in their catalogue after Ten for me.

I have been pondering my own top 10 list and will probably post one up here soon, though it will likely be a work in progress, just like the top 10 albums for a desert island was.

Corduroy is a great track. My fav off the album remains Immortality.

Is the exhibit still around? I'm still upset that I have seen him live, but didn't know who he was at the time. Still an awesome show.

[adlo]

Immortality is another great track. I would agree, top 2 on that album.

Exhibit is on for 3 more weeks, WA Museum, free entry, open 7 days. I can guarantee you will like it. You seem as though you would appreciate the detail and the way he creates music and writing.

I downloaded some Regina Spektor and realised I have heard her stuff before, I just didn't know it was her. Good stuff by the sounds.

[Johnny Canuck]

I'll check it out fo' sho;.

This is in response to Just's link. SImply awesome. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dh0woT7NkKI

Immortality is such a good song, got an awesome acoustic version of it somewhere.

I remember Molly Meldrum telling us that they were the next big thing. How could he be wrong?

Thankfully they disappeared. Awful stuff.

Heard a grizzly bear single on JJJ today, sounds awesome.

Also danananakroyd, sounded very promising.

[adlo]

Both Grizzly Bear albums are good. As is the off shoot project, In Ear Park by Department of Eagles.

Grab the new Grizzly album, you'll like it.

You will be banished from indie circles.....

Michael Jackson - Thriller/Off The Wall.

For all his weirdness, the gloved one sure knows how to write a good tune.

[Courty]

New additions:

Eskimo Joe - Inshalla
Grafton Primary - Eon
Grafton Primary - Relativity

[AndyP]

Roisin Murphy (formerly of Moloko) - Overpowered

I'm trying to use ITunes' Genius to suss out some new music.

[Courty]

Roisin Murphy (formerly of Moloko) - Overpowered

The best tracks are Let Me Know and You Know Me Better.

[AndyP]

The best tracks are Let Me Know and You Know Me Better.

You Know Me Better (from the Future Pop album) is what made me follow the album up. That Future Pop album has some really good tracks.

[Courty]

Agreed. There a few 'hidden gems' which I had bever heard of, including Roisin's track (I've been a Moloko/ Roisin fan ever since hearing 'The Time Is Now').

[Jarro]

Michael Jackson - Thriller/Off The Wall.

For all his weirdness, the gloved one sure knows how to write a good tune.

Kinda weird that i decided to listen to Jacko again 3 days before he dies

Do yourselves a favour people .... listen to the man today

[AndyP]

I'm listening to The Essential Michael Jackson.

And Prince's Purple Rain. Happy 25th Birthday!

I've got the 2 disc History collection running at the moment

[Grunt]

Have to admit I have Michael Jackson playing today. Sad Day but also a good day too as it brings back the days of 6th class and 1st form at high school. I can remember the days of the pink shirts then. Will definitely be in a pink shirt on Monday for work.
