Most of us like to listen to music online, so What are you listening to now?I'm listening involuntarily to Tina Turner's "Simply the Best", sung by a bloke who sounds like one of Muppets called Goncho, but as it is at a concert 1/2 mile away it shouldn't intrude on us poor residents.... Hang on... Ricky Martin is just starting up Latino style ..... it's difficult to tell. Sounds more like David Brent singing Ricky Martin, Latino style....... It's all Midge Ure's fault! <itisactuallyashe'sorganisedthecoverbandsthisweekendsmiley> Ah culture! And I thought it only existed in a yoghurt pot.....

Hi CC - midge ure = Ultravox. They produced some good stuff.
I prefered Classic Nouveaux and Is it a Dream.
As for culture, I think Boy George was last seen picking up litter on community service

Living on a Prayer? No, more like "It's Good News Week" - Hedgehoppers Anonymous (1965)! ;D Spruance

Whatever I listen to will get taken off abruptly and smallest daughter (age 6) will put the Gypsy Kings on. Don't mind though as I love 'em and I do enjoy watching her flamenco (she thinks) round the kitchen with passion! I'm trying to get her to appreciate Santana now so she can samba to a different tune. I usually get to listen to MY stuff alone in the car which at the moment is The Smiths or Pink Floyd (sound old, don't I?). I do like a lot of the new stuff but my kids get sick of me saying "it's good but it sounds just like...". And I do love classical music - Vivaldi and Saint Saens.

I love the Gypsy Kings as well. We got tickets for them in Brighton - really good seats and they got cancelled so we are going to see them at the Albert Hall in October (then we will find how many holes it takes to fill it!).
I'm listening to Eric Sate piano music - it's beautifully melancholic and like every French film you ever saw. I used to play the piano quite well but gave it up when I was a teenager as I was being forced to play Bach and other stuff I didn't connect with. If only someone had played me Sate I would have understood how and why to play.
Newest CD bought is Gnarls Berkley which I bought on a whim as I had seen it advertised and it has been voted best new soul blah blah. In fact I really love the first 5 or so tracks on it. I worry that I miss good new music because I don't know where to find the kind of stuff I might like. I find when I buy CDs I am invariably just replacing the stuff I have on LPs - I'm stuck in a timewarp musicwise.

Morning Rhoda, I love Sate too. What a shame you stopped playing. I was forced to play clarinet and flute and hated it so much I swopped to percussion which was great fun. I played in the county youth orchestra but didn't keep it up when I went to Uni. It's why I love music with rhythm though - I can fantasise about being young, fit and sweaty lost in the rhythm in the percussion section with Carlos Santana playing in the wings but watching me being brilliant, centre stage! Oh God, how sad at my age?? What an admission... I started replacing my records with CD's but got fed up when I realised that lots of them had been tinkered with. The final straw was "What's Going On" by Marvin Gaye, my first LP and one of the alltime favourites. It wasn't even the same tracks on it! So I stopped and now I have to glean which ones I might like from oldest daughters and the press. The last one I really liked we bought was by Gorillaz. Smallest daughter loves it too so I get to listen to it. Have a good Bank Holiday.

If only someone had played me Sate I would have understood how and why to play. . Hi Rhoda, I think you were too young at that age to connect to Bach. I sang as a teenager in several Bach cantates, but didn't like them too. But now... Only Bach can move me (bit exagerated, there are more composers). Pls try again, his music is so full of thrust and acceptance! There is deep grief in his music (most of his kids + his wife died in just a few years time), but also this acceptance. I remember 7 or 8 years ago I went to Listen to the Saint-Johns Passion, and then you have this beautiful aria (almost the end) "es is volbracht". Tears in eyes! Since then I listen with other ears to Bach. I cannot talk about Piano Music, don't like it really. I played the flute when I was young. I sing since I was 12 and I will sing till my last breath. Now I'm busy with Fauré (requiem), Buxtehude (membra jesu nostri) and Josquin Deprez. But I like pop-music too, but don't follow it that much anymore. Take care <hug> why is there not a hug icon???

But we sowed seeds of Anthemis Sancti-Johannis (St John) today and even though I'm not clever on these matters - your Bach flowed into my head. The plant is so-called because it is said to look best with its orange flowers on St John's day (June 24). BTW - My Bach is worse than my bite

I love boroque...all those fiddly bits...but NOT 'The Four Seasons' after being forced to listen to it FOR HOURS whilst in a queue to have my call answered.....really love Vivaldi's Lute and mandolin concertos, and trumpet concerto....and lots of others. I spose I like most stuff...I've got a cd playing at the moment with the Red Army Ensemble singing the Volga Boat Song...also on the cd are tracks of Supertramp, Bessie Smith, Pearl Jam, Emmerson Lake and Palmer, Pink Floyd and Muse.....better turn it off actually as if 'Newborn' starts I'll wake up OH who is snoring in the next room!

I need to do some serious cleaning and tidying today, so I'm afraid it's got to be Queen's greatest hits Vols 1, 2 & 3 - I just can't keep still when Freddy sings!!! I'd rather hoped to do some gardening, but for the 627th day in a row it's pouring with rain! (That's a slight exaggeration, but you get the picture... good job I live on top of a hill, or it would be all water gardening...)
