Their first album, 360 degrees, was superb. They went quickly downhill from then on - I know what you mean by party-dub.

Black Mountain are playing the Green Man festival soon (great name, wish I'd thought of that).

If anyone's going, look out for Big Phil, a colleague and fellow Trotters fan.

I'm having a mooch through here at the moment...

I was thinking about going but I've just bought another drum kit so summer's gonna be spent going deaf indoors instead.
I saw them not so long ago at Moho Live in town, they were simply wonderful. If they play their own gig somewhere in the North of England around the same time as the Green Man I'll most likely travel.

Right now I'm listening to the Deftones, a right trip down memory lane!

The Seahorses.

The Wombats.

They played at Trinity May Ball a couple of weeks ago and I had a champagne-fuelled chat with the lead singer, so I've been giving them a chance since then...

I'm putting Tonino Balliardo, lead guitarist of the Gypsy Kings, as one of the finest string pluckers I've ever heard. The guy's amazing. Got most of their albums, first one before most in England had heard of them. Ignore the hype and just listen to the music.

Can't go into great detail - home PC still forbids long emails - but Glastonbury Sunday was a delight taking in four excellent acts who took their well-deserved applause with heart-warming humility: Neil Diamond, The Bluetones, Leonard Cohen and Elbow. (Sorry, Black Mountain didn't do it for me, but thanks for the tip.)

Sweetwater. First band that played at Woodstock, but all the footage probably got eaten by someone who thought it was a giant pizza

Good if you like 60's hippy stuff...

STILL watching biffy and the raconteurs from glasto. couple of drinks, darneked room, headphones on full, and either the impassioned ramblings of a scottish poet, or the screaming of a guitar smashed into shape by Jack white, and another stroked into submission by my hero of the week Brendon Benson. Cant beat it. Capped off with a little bit of the kings of leon. Music isn't dead.

Same festival, different band: Elbow's A Day Like This joyously telling us "It's looking like a beautiful day". (non-Glastonbury video here)

Never quite got into elbow, know people who have but i dont think ive ever had that moment when you fall for a band. Anyone got any tips on what to listen to looking for that moment?

Understood. It was probably 'New Born' that did it for me, especially when I saw them perform it live and had one of those all too rare hairs-on-the-back-of-yer-neck moments.

See what you think;

Just a view, but with music of any type that I like, it usually hits home with me as soon as I hear it. Not always, granted, but that's the beauty of music, it's an ears thing. I love the ability of music to paint mental pictures where you can just shut your eyes and be transported. Personal thing I suppose.
