What are you playing tonight?

If you have a life outside of BWFC, then this is the place to tell us all about your toilet habits, and those bizarre fetishes.......

Many of you really should be listening to Jo Hamilton, seriously.

hmmm... had a quick listen - I can see a kind of bjorkish influence in the backing music - not in the voice though - which is a bit sickly-sweet for my taste - a little Goldfrappian???

You think so? I can hear Sigur Ros in the backing music, I certainly can't hear Alison Goldfrapp in it anywhere :conf:

As the man who introduced me to Death Cab, I expected much from you Bruce. Went straight to Youtube, typed in Jo Hamilton and was, well, slightly underwhelmed to be honest :conf:

Ok, had a look at 3 or 4 tracks and I'm reasonably impressed. I don't think they'd make it onto my top 20 albums on my i pod, a tad melancholic for me, but cheers Bruce.

I defintely would though............

I'm not going after you two.

Had a little listen, think perhaps you need to be in a "particular mood" to do an album full. Might try it in the car.

To Survive is a stunning album, Worthy. It requires an evening in by oneself a a bottle of something tasty. :-)

Intrigued enough to give it another go in "proper" surroundings, ta, mate. :-)

Ah, you'd be fine. An ex once told me I only had a litle organ. I told her it wasn't that small, it was just used to playing in small chapels, not cathedrals.

I wasn't worried about the chapel itself - just whether it was below a flood plain, so I'd need my wellies.

he was a looker in his day - but the being dead for over a century hasn't done him any favours!

oh yes - Rachmaninov is always worth the time..

but - different kind of animal to Chopin.. I think it is Chopin's simplicity (he doesn't overdo the notes!) and melancholy that appeal most to me... (also - I can play some Chopin (albeit badly), whereas most Rachmaninov is a long way beyond me!)

Less convinced by the symphonies...
