What Are You Listening To At The Moment?

[Tia Anderson]

80s music, my all time favorite!

The new Bob Weir album, Blue Mountain. Poor man looks like he's been dragged backwards through whins for the cover photo, but a lifetime in the Grateful Dead probably does that to you.

I was born during the 80's so I'd like listening these songs more often. But at the moment, I'm in tuned with a Christmas songs by Mariah Carey. Silent night is my favorite on the list.

I have discovered Nicole Sherzinger ! man is that a voice ! Her show songs are brilliant and I loved her version of Sway I loathe that bubble man gives me the willies !

The new Michael Chapman album's worth a listen. It's called "50" as he's apparently spent 50 years in the music business, although I swear he must have about 50 albums to his name. He has a few young-ish Americans on this one, Nathan Bowles and Steve Gunn (must be a Caithness link in there somewhere) being the ones I can remember, and his own guitar-playing's as good as ever.

I have a few decent albums on the go. Went into the past (90s grunge! Yeah!) for Sweet oblivion by Screaming Trees. Forgot just how good this album was. Still love it.

The Party by Andy Shauf is really nice - melodic and acoustic

Freetown Sound by Blood Orange

Space by Newmoon - bit psych guitar, big sound, lots of distorted reverb and, well, spaceyness!

The Blue Aeroplanes' "Warhol's Fifteen", a collection from their 1980s recordings. Bought their stuff in Jeanette's shop in the Arcade back then, James pointing out that they had a dancer on the credits. Didn't come over well on record, though I mind going to see them once and realising the bloke flailing about at the front was indeed the dancer. That was one of the gigs where they brought everyone who'd ever played guitar with them on to the stage. 10 guitarists thrashing away, memorable but terrible.

Love the new Stones album, best thing they've done in about 30 years.
