The Music Thread
#1
An obligatory forum music thread. Post your favourites, new, old, hits, obsure, any genre you like.

To start a bit of English folk from when even I wasn't born. Guess the beautiful prominent instrument. I'm saying mandolin!

I love that, thanks. The timing (3.4?) and the singing sounds so much like Nick Drake too. A plus. And produced in 1970...I was reading some articles that 1971 was a peak year for creative musical output - which although may be arguable is interesting in itself as a claim (the sheer diversity, genres etc). 

I've started to go through all Stuart Machine's Freak Zone because I think his interests match mine quite well (Nuff Said also posted a great reminder on the PinkUn).

Later on will post something I heard on his show that I liked enough to save to my playlist (as I will this one...Mrs Goldcrest Shy will like Dando Shaft as well being a fan of Nick Drake). Weird that they were formed in Coventry!

Last Sunday's was probably the best Freak Zone I have heard. A vast array of styles without veering too much into prog.
A shopping list is building up after an unintended break from listening to music. Damn those podcasts.

Hope this link works here. Didn't know which one of her stuff to include as it's diverse (even within a song the whole direction can be changed in some). It's another Stuart Maconie recommend. A nice article in the Guardian too here:

Cheers for that. Something different, ethereal.

Nick Cave and Laurie Anderson have both done quite brilliant Desert Island Discs and are well worth a listen.

And courtesy of Stuart here is some British Jazz. (It kicks off on the minute mark.)

It was good to hear a bit of Napalm Death on Radio 3 this morning.

Blimey it does kick off too!

On another Freak Zone jazz theme recommendation, Jasmine Myra.

Welly - Big in the suburbs

Rubbish name and the video makes him seem a bit of a fool but I like it. Sounds like it could've come out late 70s
