Music while building

[rtfoe]

Funny how we all hear things differently Richard. To me her version has suspect timing, poorly altered melody, and is overblown and histrionic to the extreme. Judy’s version is just purity personified. Utterly perfect.
Imagine is a dirge whoever sings it though……

No probs Tim, the human ear is amazing in interpreting an individuals preference to what they hear. There's so much material out there to enjoy.

I only just yesterday stumbled on a documentary on Eva how she basically open doors for singers like Norah Jones and slow soft singers...unfortunately she never got signed. Many are amazed at how pure and clear she could hit the notes live and without rehearsing on the only live album recording in the jazz club she did with her back up band. These recordings have been collaborated more than 10 years after her death by some artists as well. Couldn't be a fluke for her version of OTR to hit the UK charts when it was airplayed.

Cheers,
Richard

Absolutely right Dave. I know I listen to some music (quite a lot probably) that others wouldn’t give houseroom……it’s just that the original recording of SOTR is one of my all time top ten, and one of the two that never change in that list…the other being Waterloo Sunset by the Kinks. That song is just a miracle in my opinion…..
Please don’t mix up chart popularity with quality though Richard…..that way lies the Birdy song :tongue-out3::tongue-out3::tongue-out3:

Or…St Winifreds School Choir “There’s no one quite like Grandma”…. I hate that record with a passion you cannot imagine….

[slupanter]

I listen to film scores, 70s prog (Yes, pre-1976 Genesis, King Crimson), and a lot of Peter Gabriel.

Not a particular genre or band but It’s 6Music for me. Steve Lamacq & Mark Radcliffe are still going strong, I’ve been listening to them for 28 years on and off. Some of the newer & stand in DJs are pretty good too, Huw Stevens, Amy Lame, Gemma Cairney, Huey Morgan and the legendary Iggy Pop - yes. Iggy Pop.
However, I am really enjoying Public Service Broadcasting’s latest album Bright Magic.
Or if there a match on its 5live.

I used to love the Mark and Lard show when I came off of late shift many years ago. One of the great lost radio shows to me. Fantastic mix of music and poetry. Why they went to Radio one breakfast is beyond me (apart from the money natch). Absolutely no fit at all.

Lard (AKA Marc Riley) does the evening slot after Lamacq, I listen now and again and he gets some good bands in session - The Beths are another current favourite courtesy of the Boy Lard.
There are quite a few new bands coming out of Ireland, Australia, NZ and the US being given air time by 6Music, Amyl & the Sniffers, The Linda Linda’s and the Pillow Queens….if you like that kind of thing.

Just sat at my model desk and had spotify on for a while. Didn't realise it had come to the end of my album. Next thing i heard has just scared me for life.....

Miley Cyrus and Elton John doing a cover of Metallica - Nothing Else Matters!

Suffice to say i know have to go and put the original Metallica version on just to un-frazzle my tiny warped brain.
