What is it? My phone won't do youtube.

Softly whispering I love you, Congregation: and you're to blame that I'm now listening to Judith Durham and Dusty Springfield...

[TANGODANCER]

Tango is softly whispering he loves you, or something.

Which my pc is blocking out and won't show? (evern though it's about 45 years old. ??...)

[Lost Leopard Spot]

Nowt wrong with Dusty. Her 'preacherman' can still do wonders to me.

[Jugs]

Dusty In Memphis is a fantastic album. Very good to listen to in the summer.

Don't worry people, Phil Collins has come out of retirement and will be going on tour. Get back in line. Make an orderly queue. No pushing.

I thought he had tinnitus which prevented him playing. Shame if he has been cured.

Bert Jansch and John Renbourn, both sadly passed on now. Back to this later...

I've been playing/watching some Colin Hay on youtube. Not only a great songwriter/musician, but a good laugh as well. His monologue about having to pay most of 30 years of royalties from 'Down under' following a court case, to a music publishing company who own the rights to the Kookaburra song, is a classic.

Also Tedeschi Trucks band, 'Midnight in Harlem' some fierce slide lead playing from Derek there.

Bruce, if you want to know how to play your SG, take a look. (You may want to sell after tho )

Tonight was Sibelius 'The Swan of Tuonela' and Symphony no 5.

When you are in the mood for slow, majestic, graceful orchestral music go for a composer from a place where winters are cold and summers are cool...

150th anniversary of Sibelius' birth. BBC Symphony Orchestra celebrate it on Saturday at Bridgewater Hall where both these works (and others) will be played... I hope to be there...

No matter how brilliant the recording nothing is better than live performance.

First heard Tuonela when the Halle came to Victoria Hall when I was plump kid with specs aged 12 - Bolton School kids could get free tickets to most classical concerts because the music teacher was a big wheel in local music circles. I was always on my own - none of my mates went. I was gripped enough to overcome the mockery. Tuonela was one reason why.

Have any of you heard of a girl that goes by the name of Shura? Just watching Later from last night. She has an absolutely lovely voice.

[Worthy4England]

Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young. Chilled to the bone. Wooden Ships, Guinevere etc.

[Harry Genshaw]

Loved the ELO gig on BBC red button thingy. Going to have to dig out some of their stuff this weekend. Jeff Lynne - he's still got it

[Prufrock]

Rocking out to some Eagles of Death Metal this morning.

Rocking out to some Eagles of Death Metal this morning.

I thought that they were the band that just randomly happened to be playing the Bataclan last night, but earlier I was hearing something about them (or rather their followers) being targeted. Now, with a name like 'Eagles of Death' I'm sure they don't pass around the fondant fancies, but are they renowned as being irredeemable heathens particularly? I don't know anything about them.

Not really .... not even ACTUALLY a "Death Metal" band. One member flips between these and Queen's of the Stone Age.

They describe themselves as aiming to see what "a cross between the Eagles and a death metal band would sound like. In a 2003 interview founder and continuing member (of both bands), Josh Homme, described the sound of the band as a combination of "bluegrass slide guitar mixed with stripper drum beats and Canned Heat vocals."

[Prufrock]

Yeah, they're a borderline Josh Homme side project (and he must give Dave Grohl a decent fight for being the nicest man in rock and roll)/ semi serious band. The other guy was introducing Josh Homme to death-metal and they came across a band Josh said sounded like The Eagles (the band) of Death Metal. They thought it would be a good idea to have a go at what that would sound like and stuck with the name. It's v light hearted (loads of video cameos from Grohl and Jack Black and the like) but I really enjoy it. Sort of like camped up Queens of the Stone Age. Very much not actual death metal.

EDIT: here's the vid to one of their songs with both Black and Grohl in!

[Bruce Rioja]

Had a mooch through earlier to hear what they're like. Sounded like a Foo Fighters tribute band to me, which is all perfectly listenable, just not for very long.

[Prufrock]

Aye, not a band to listen to an album of. I tend to have a few songs and then stick Queens of the Stone Age on.

Though, tbf, I've never really been able to listen to more than a few Foo's songs in a row. I like the idea of them much more than I do their actual music!
