Such Great Heights - Iron & Wine

Finlandia - Sibelius

That is sublime when delivered by a good 4 part male voice choir.

I am listening to the recording of the Auckland Wind Orchestra concert I played percussion in about 9 weeks ago (I think, not too sure).
It's not a bad recording for 2 mikes set up by the conductor!

Albinoni: Adagio In G Minor

Peter and the Wolf - Prokofiev

I am listening to sailing by the male voice choir.

Dr Soul feat. Angel Phillipa Alexander, I.B. Ibiza

Sunday B.loody Sunday - U2

Reminds me of studying Seamus Heaney at AS Level

Elegy For Viola, String Quartet And String Orchestra - Howells.

My sister playing Munch's Oddysee on the Xbox

I'm sat here at work - there is a new building being put up next to ours, and the noise of the construction is terrible. I'm trying to get some work done, listening to Ravel's Valses Nobles et Sentimentales.

I may need to switch to Muse - Origin of Symmetry if the construction noise gets louder...

Being in a festive mood today, I've been listening all day to Xmas music:

Vaughan Williams - Fantasia on Christmas Carols, The First Nowell. On Christmas Night and all other pieces on the CD.
Rutter - Carols from Clare CD
The John Rutter Christmas Album
Victor Hely-Hutchinson - A Carol Symphony, Bryan Kelly - Improvisations on Christmas Carols, Peter Warlock - Bethlehem Down, Philip Lane - Wassail Dances, Patric Stanford - A Christmas Carol Symphony

...and various other Christmas CDs...

Fab choice Muse are the best! And Origin of Symmetry is their best album, in my opinion...

Completely agree!! Although I think Absolution is great too - "Butterflies & Hurricanes" being a great track from that one

Nooo Stockholm Syndrome is the best from Absolution! I'm going to see Muse next year, hopefully - can't wait!

Yes, I have to concede that Stockholm Syndrome is excellent!! Would love to see those guys live - sounds awesome..

You can probably get cheap tickets on eBay closer to the time - it'd be worth it

Bruce Springsteen, Born to Run - given the Cory Arcangel treatment.

It Must Have Been Love - Roxette

808 State : Pacific State

missypiano : yep, I think it's close enough to Christmas to consider Christmas music now!

It was close enough ages ago!

I'm listening to B.loody Well Right by Supertramp - great song, great band!

I've got their greatest hits!

Though their best record I think is 'The Logical Song'

I agree - Breakfast in America is pretty great too All their songs are fab!

Now that has a rather good clari solo in it...

Of course

In my Supertramp mood, I've moved on to School.

How about 'Dreamer'?

Ha! You must have somehow read the sequence of songs in my head, because that's what's on now

I did a karaoke version of The Logical Song once, in a packed bar. It wasn't good, but I did get the high note at the end

I salute you, because karaoke is something that scares the bejeezus outta me Anybody who can go up sober and come off without having collapsed deserves commendation from me

I did do the Logical Song fuelled on cola rather than beer...

With Bohemian Rhapsody though, I had drunk a pint of courage juice beforehand...

These guys on youtube who have done covers of loads of songs on acoustic guitar, it's amazing

Courage juice? Is that what they're calling it now? I don't really drink, though I do love a pina colada...

I've veered away from Supertramp now, and I'm listening to When David Heard, by Eric Whitacre

It's just what I call it Stephie!

if you like pina coladas, gettin' caught in the rain...

Haha I can't help but think of Shrek every time I hear that song...

It's a really silly song, but there's nothing wrong with that

You should sing it at karaoke

I have now moved onto When You Wish Upon A Star from Pinnochio

Hmm...perhaps I should sing it at karaoke...

I was talking to someone (can't remember who now, think it might've been Babybird2) about how fun it'd be to have a bunch of forum members hire a karaoke bar for a night...

And if I down enough pina coladas (do karaoke bars do pina coladas?! Goes to show how much time I spend in bars...! ) perhaps I'll dredge up enough courage to sing

I'm sure we can find a karaoke bar that does pina coladas...

Me indeed

Hmmm Supertramp... Before my time my Dad went through a phase of listening to them constantly, apparently

I was right - thanks Babybird2, now, you'd be up for that, wouldn't you?

I would be indeed. But not now...I'm very sleepy, getting a coach at 7am tomorrow morning

Safe journey Claudia

Thanks

I'm going to be in London for 9 hours... and on coaches for 8

Woohoo!


That was how I started liking them - they were ALWAYS on in the old Renault 19

*starts thinking, and planning*

Haha Sounds like a plan!
