Magic. The little Green fella put me onto Lunatico but, as you can imagine from my handle, I'm a tango fanatic and I have multi-dozens of tango tracks of all types.

Been listening to an album by Various Production. I know absolutely nothing about them and Google is none too helpful either. However, if this is their first album, I think they've got quite a bit of talent. Don't think it's everyone's cuppa char though.

If you want a shuftie of the first album, I can lend you an evaluation copy.

There's a lot of tango/flamenco on at the Edinburgh Fringe this year. Not sure if I'll get the time to go and see much/any of it.

I remember being in the crowd at Leeds not long before they split screaming "f**k you I won't do what you tell me" at the top of my lungs

Tech Support night(mare), so it's on to Cortney Tidwell. Crap name, but she can't half sing. On this offering, she lurks vocally at times somewhere between Bjork and Sinead, but that's not the whole story...

It's great when you get on iTunes (or winamp or whatever you're running) and it throws up a song you've not listened to in ages. Can't beat it

.

iTunes seems determined to give me some very random tracks this evening, though. From Nitin Sawhney on to Sufjan Stevens now, then the Mystery Jets and Gavin DeGraw... Where's me fecking Blur or Foo Fighters or summat?!

Ask and ye shall receive!

Foo Fighters - Times Like These (acoustic).

What a cracking version of a great tune!

You're not wrong there. Just had to have a reminder of Over Rising too.

Mind you, some days I think My Beautiful Friend from Us And Only Us just edges them.

I've been there in the past but isn't there a world beyond whiteboys and guitars?

There most definitely is. Select Cuts From Blood & Fire, Chapters One and Two is the light. (As is Chapter Three, probably, but I never realised that existed until last week.)

And while I'm on a roll, the second album from Black Star Liner is worth the investment.

Indeed, and I agree, there is a world beyond the 'white boy and guitar' combo, which is why you're as likely to come across Ella Fitzgerald or Bob Marley, Miles Davis or Ry Cooder, or any other random assortment of music in my collection as you are the Britpop stuff. While I may not be the biggest fan of certain types of music ('dance' in general and R'n'B/Rap for instance) it does still get in there, but only sparingly and tunes that I particularly like.

For my personal preference on the whole, however, you can't beat a good white boy with a guitar (emphasis on the 'good'), which is why it forms the majority of my iTunes playlist of several thousand

Different music for different moods, though, and I'm always happy to check out recommendations of others.
