Well, I love music. Favourite artists include Elvis, Neil Diamond, The Beach Boys, Manics, AC/DC with Bon Scott and Mr. J Cash.

Was into him before the recent converts and his storytelling is second to none in my world. Listening to his new album 'A hundred highways' and allegedly his final work which breaks my heart. Oddly enough, not as downbeat nor melancholic as previous Rubin work in my opinion but sad never the less and again songs about love lost, crimes commited and life. Brilliant and has moved me. I recommend it.

My other recent listen is by a little known band called 'Hope of the states' The first album they released in 2004 called 'the lost riots' is actually my all time favourite record, chock full of wonderful melody, sadness and wonderful lyrics. The folllow up album 'Left' came out last week and is again utter genius and has not left my turn table until yesterdays Cash must buy was released.

Waiting for payday to buy Muse new album, should be good.:)

What are you currently digging?
 
I listen to mainly rock/metal music (not everyone's cup of tea, I know). In the car at the minute, I'm listening to a compilation I put together on cd as I get fed up of listening to the same cd over & over. At home, i don't to listen to my cd's so much these days, but I do have either Scuzz or Kerrang on tv to entertain me.
The last cd I bought was 'everyman for himself' which is the latest offering from Hoobastank. Quite different to their last cd, but still good, and also 'Stadium Arcadium' by the Chili's. I've also been listening to Placebo quite a bit lately :)

At this precise moment my mp3's are on 'pub jukebox' mode via my desktop, lurching between Eurythmics, Primal Scream and now Count Alert with Lynn tait and the baba brooks band. Which is on a rather nice trojan calypso compilation. Proper summer music!

As for general listening......

Mostly Reggae at the moment, everything from mod & ska to calypso, heavy dub, and old stuff like burning spear and toots & the maytals. I do still listen to a lot of techno and dance music.

Generaly I don't stick to one thing, depends on the mood!

My recent audio delights include Blackeyed Peas, Green Day, Prodigy, Snow Patrol, Keane, Marilyn Manson, Pink Floyd, RATM, Smashing Pumpkins, The Who, Chili Peppers (damned if I'm paying £90 to see them though), plus loads more.

I likes me music. :D
 
I just :love: Smashing pumkins... in a moment of madness, i bought their entire cd library, cost a small fortune but well worth it!
 
I listen to party shuffle on itunes and it chooses tracks from 3929 in my library so can listen to all sorts! Skip the Doc Cox ones and the Macc Lads though ;)

I'd take it back if I were you, it seems you bought a plant instead of a CD :D


I'm listening to 15 gigs worth of 80's music :D Current track is

Sister Sledge - Frankie
And will be followed by :

Nik Kershaw - Wouldn't it be good
Fat Boys & Chubby Checker - The Twist


Ooooh yeah :D


The latest tune I've been playing repeatedly is Rihanna - Unfaithful (Both the vocal and the instrumental), not only because I love it, but I'm trying to learn how to play the bugger.
 
Now you're talkin. Blue Monday '88?
