I’m currently in the process of packing cos I’m moving house soon, and its boring me so much I’ve desperately been thinking of something I could be doing instead. Hence the flash of inspiration that led to this post…
I thought it could be interesting to put up a few of the things I’ve been listening to recently, and that this would be a perfect time to start as I’ve had a lot of music playing whilst I’ve been packing. So here, in no particular order, is a selection of the most recently played on my iPod – as always, please do leave your comments/suggestions!
Radiohead – Harry Patch (In Memory Of)
Gil Evans & The Monday Night Orchestra – Live At Sweet Basil Vol. 1
Portishead – Roseland NYC Live
The Beatles – Abbey Road
Hunter/Andreae Quartet – EP1
If you’re in the UK you’ve probably heard about the new Radiohead track in memory of Harry Patch, the last surviving veteran of World War I. The track itself is beautiful, Jonny Greenwood’s string arrangement is amazing as always – download it from radiohead.com even if you don’t like the band as all profits go to the British Legion.
Not much to say about the other choices except that the Gil Evans album is fantastic, very 1980s in places but in a good way… Of course it was the 40th anniversary of the release of Abbey Road recently which reminded me that I hadn’t listened to it in ages (similarly Portishead, its been a while), and I couldn’t resist the opportunity for yet another bit of shameless promotion by mentioning the HAQ EP, still available for purchase at Efpi Records.
Back to the packing then, can’t really put it off any longer…
