What's everyone listening to today?

Charlatans

Loving the (what I assume is a) sax on this. Chilled out d&b FTW.

[Charlie]

Funky reworking of a motown classic. I love Betty Wright, she's joyful:

[Colin]

That's a great performance, always nice when you see other performers enjoying the other acts and not caring about being cool. When I worked at the BBC years ago I used to go watch the Jools Holland rehearsals quite a lot, always great fun.

Ikobo, you've gotta check out the new Gentlemans Pistols album, At Her Majesty's Pleasure. I reckon it'd be right your street!

The Cars of the Stars Museum in the Lake District had a Street Hawk bike. In fact, they had every ace car from film and TV you could think of.
Knight Rider, The A-Team, Batman, Bond, Mad Max, Starsky & Hutch and Back to the Future.


I'm gutted that closed down last year

Even now, I can recite all the words to that StreetHawk intro. What a useless thing to have inprinted on my brain!

[monel]

I think I know the Knight Rider and A-Team ones, that museum sounds ace!

I'm on it mate. Had a quick listen on iTunes and your assumption was spot on. Need to buy the disc though, not buying on downlaod any more.

Always listening to the Dope Joints Hip hop show podcast - can't recommend it enough.

Another one that I think Ikobo will love!Leaf Hound - "Growers of Mushrooms".

I think you can tell from the title what most of the songs are about, but they're a British Zep-esque band from the late 60s/late 70s that have been cited as influences for Wolfmother and the Stoner Rock movement in general.



Also, I finally listened to X-CNN's album, but it was pretty rubbish. Which is a shame, because they did an AWESOME song called "Looking Forward" which sampled 2-Unlimited's "No Limits" at the start.

[Skull Commander]

A bit of Skeletonwitch today. Saw them at the weekend and they were absolutely amazing.

[Charlie]

Great version of a great song by a great man and no exageration:

[Colin]

I drove back to London yesterday from visiting my family in Scotland, I stuck Nebraska by Bruce Springsteen in the multichanger, which I hadn't listened to in years. I forgot how much of an impact this album had on me the first time I heard it, it's a dark and powerful masterpiece. (Even if it does have moments of sheer joy!) This song, my fathers house, in particular breaks my heart a wee bit. You'll have to excuse the fan made video if you give it a listen though.
