Give them credit where it's due - they've won the Eurovision Song Contest more recently than the UK has.

Hehe, yes - as I say, some of it was pretty good!

One of the CDs I bought had the song from very early 2000s Eurovision on it, which is extremely pretty indeed... here tis, 1999, "Diamond of Night". Still really like this song: prefer the Estonian version though

That CD was effectively the Estonian version of "Now 1999" - some of the songs on it are priceless... for all the wrong reasons I still really enjoy listening to it though, some good stuff, some funny stuff, and lots of good memories attached

Hey, that was actually on topic now that I am listening to it

PS I'm delighted to know someone else has been to Old Hansa! I have very fond memories.

Weber's Clarinet Concerto no. 1, as played by Antony Pay. A bit of listening research for the York recital

Mastodon.

My boyfriend's birthday presents don't agree with ill me....

Had to look Mastodon up, I'd never heard of them...

I don't think I really know who they are either

Even after looking them up, I'm none the wiser, really...

Bit loud for me, really

I think I'll stick to my Weber...

I was listening to myself thinking about how I wished the TYO tour was not over already.

awww....at least you still have another concert to look forward to VH

Yeah I have got Cadogan Hall to look forward to and the primary school Prom at RAH. There is always the Hungary tour being planned for next year as well.

Cadogan Hall - you lucky soul! Saw Emma Johnson there earlier this year - it's a lovely place - hope you enjoy your gig there!

I'm listening to my wind chimes - it's blowy today!

A petrol powered hedge trimmer through the shut double glazing, and a LOUD discussion about measurement uncertainties between 3 of my colleagues right behind me. I can't drown either of them out with the Red Priest album I was listening to on my iPod to try to blank out all the disturbances and do some work.

I've given in and started reading the forum instead.

I'm listening to Jethro Tull.

LCD Soundsystem, Sound of Silver

Mahler 4th symphony

The Magic Numbers, Those the Brokes

Ian Anderson still very much could find his way round a flute at the Flutewise event back in May...

You got to see him?!

Indeed I did : fine musician he is too!

Driving over to Yorkshire this morning I listened to Walton 'Partita' , Walton 1st Symphony. Bach Toccata and Fugue in D Min (not the famous one), and part of Bachs Keyboard Partita No 2

Bill Bryson talking about Shakespeare

schon rosmarin by kreisler.

Which reminds me, "Prog Rock Brittania" is being repeated on the Beeb and there was footage of Tull on Top of the Pops from way back (Witches Promise). Jimmy Saville introduced them thus:
"Jethro Tull, here he is".

Still my mum thought he was Jeffrey O'Toole.

Crowded House - Don't Dream It's Over

Who's Jeffery O'Toole?

Bach Cello suite.

Every time I come to post in here, my random song thing goes to Bach...I do listen to other stuff too, honest!

Pamela Thorby (recorder) and Andrew Lawrence King (harp, psaltery), Garden of Early Delights

TMS

Tallis's Spem in alium performed by Oxford Camerata (dir. Jeremy Summerly)

Currently listening to myself re-tuning my violin.

Fully Alive- Flyleaf.

Bruckner 4th symphony.

Sonic Youth, The Destroyed Room

..the sound of the choir pieces I've been singing for the past three weeks in Hungary, going round and round and round and round and round in my head...

The juke box in my head (is that just me or does everyone have that?) is playing timestep music to me...

The sound of a fan in the background. Whilst listening to rachmaninov's 2nd piano concerto.

I have one of those to, it's constantly playing elovater music

Ack! I quite enjoy it most of the time but if it started playing elevator music to me I would NOT be impressed...

I have a juke box in my head from time to time Sarah

Not always playing what I want to hear...

my computer makin clicky noises

Some Bizet on Classic FM

The news on Radio 4!

Verdi, Brindisi from La Traviata, performed by Peter Dvorsky and Lucia Aliberti

The chickens in the house just along from ours! They've been going off for hours on end - arrk arrrk arrrrrrrrrrrrrk ark ark..... arrrrrrrrrk arrrrrrrrk arrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrk arrrrk arrrrk etc! Every time they just get louder! (and of course, the chicken house has to be right at the end of their garden, nearest our house, so that we can hear them, but our neighbours probably can't!!) I wonder whether I should stand outside their house and play my sax - loudly and badly

Hollyoaks..............

Walton, Crown Imperial

Jethro Tull, isn't he classy?
