What Are You Listening To?

I don't know a whole lot about early Dylan, but one of my favorite listens is Live at the Gaslight 1962

The new Manu Chao

I am scared to listen to it….

I feel like he lost his mojo about 2002. I listen to clandestino, próxima estación and his first live album all the time! Definitely one of my favorites

I didn't know about him during his mojo era.  Will have to dig back into his older releases.

Yeah and check out Mano negra his band….Casa Babylon is fantastic. His mojo years were 1988-2002.

Julian would love Mano Negra… very very Clash influenced…particularly Sandinista

It’s a rare musician that has a peak of 15 years….

Nick Cave must of sold his soul to the devil

The new Manu Chao

My copy of Viva Tu arrived last night and listned to side one 3 times
while it's no Clandestino, I'm digging it
River Why and “Tu Te Vas” with French singer Laeti  are excellent
The willy song really isn't that bad, but if it didn't say it, you'd never know willy was on it

oddly seeing very few reviews


Didn't know that King of Bongo was a Mano Negra song, but I really like the one on Clandestino more

Haven't really found any good audio or video of the Brixton gig, but set list looks great

this was published today and is very good quality from a French station

Fantastic example of “ringwear”! For $3 it’s ok.


This album has is the 44th highest rated Album on rate your music. I can’t say it’s a personal favorite although every once in a while it hits the spot. Zawinul doesn’t get enough credit.

Neu 2


This is so far out for 1973 (recorded January-February) ….makes Kraftwerk seem like Perry Como.


I am going through another German rock phase.
First song sounds like stereolab. Fourth track sounds like Berlin era Bowie.
The second track starts with a drum sound that really reminds of JAMC. Fifth song sounds like someone speeded up the tape.

Conny Plank, Klaus Dinger and Michael Rother…

Sigur Ros- the one with the baby on cover or whatever


Great Fall music


Their show at anthem was ethereal…celestial..heavenly

I can say that even having caught only a few minutes…special stuff

More like liturgical-classical music than post rock

I need to up my Zoloft

Since no one will be asking.. Hey kosmo who is a part of this trip-hop revival you speak of, here is one I've been checking out

Avalon Emerson - & The Charm

I'm diving in deep team… just found out Madonna's daughter Lourdes is releasing trip-hop inspired music under the  name Lolahol

La Düsseldorf- La Düsseldorf

The Lightning Seeds - Tomorrow's Here Today

Latest greatest hits  collection for the group.  Ian Broudie sure can write a pop song as well as produce a great record.

The last Primal Scream album I loved entirely

I’m going to treat their next record as a David Holmes album with special guests  ;)
