Is there a section for music discussion on this site?

If not - WHY BLOODY NOT?

It is the food of life and i like to drink the nectar on a VERY regular basis i can tell thee...........

JJ - i LOVE kings of convenience - got both their albums. I really like the ones with Feist singing on too - i bought her album because i love her voice on that last track.

How about Sufjan Stevens. Like him.
Devandra Banhart too. Surely you like Kings of Leon?

devendra banhart - yes, have been looking at hiim too recently !

never heard of kings of convenience - will check them out! I have always liked Kings of Leon but not got any of their stuff so far.....

justjules - stop !! it's all too tempting !

I am trying to get into Kings of Leon but dread to tell you all that I find it a bit of a racket. Oh dear. I'll be seguing seamlessly into dusting while humming to Richard Clayderman next...

Oh no, it's not a racket, it's gorgeousness.

Sufjan Stevens is a bit easier maybe? I have Illinoise. If you've seen Little Miss Sunshine, one of the tracks from that album was in the film, while they're driving along in the campervan, it's very uplifting and happy.

I'll try again then.

i really like discovering old music. modern stuff is ok but the oldies are the goodies

Just thinking that I wanted to recomme nd the new Richard Hawley cd - Lady's Bridge - if you like the Edwyn Collins....

This is a great(and very different sounding) track from the new Chaka Khan album that features vocals from Mary J Blige. Give it a listen, and let me know what you think:

anyone listened to Carbon/Silicon yet ? - like Big Audio Dynamite

carbon/silicon sounds interesting. Never heard of them.

I just got new Unkle album, Justice album and the last gogol bordello. Listened to them all once but no more so far. Unkle sounded nice, lots of guest vocals as usual.

heard a track from Carbon/Silicon on Gary Crowley's show on Radio London on Saturday - Mick Jones and Tony James - worth a listen (am old Clash fan)

ahhh i too heard a track but hadn't caught the name they were playing under.

the track was only so-so, but will definitely check them out.

aDead - Manu Chao is on Robert Elms this afternoon BBC Radio London !

oh great, might try and catch that, although have a stupidly busy day so we shall see. but thanks!

and I like that song jules - liked the original too - not the usual sort of thing i like but powerful stuff somehow. Saw a fab visual work called "Sip my Ocean" by an artist called Pipilotti Rist which used the original track. Was really lovely footage of things floating underwater. (i think you had to be there sorry!)

glad I caught you aDead ! you can always Listen Again...

This is very gentle and very beautiful... Kate Walsh

after all that I missed Manu Chao !

lol me too!

I'm guessing it was just showcasing music from new album and some chat?

There was a good article on him in observer music monthly a few weeks back. Always comes across as a nice guy.

I can't remember seeing that in Observer music monthly and I read it all last time !! maybe it was before you'd mentioned him so I wasn't paying attention - I'll see if I can do the listen again thing...

aDead - probably not your cup of tea,isn't mine, but as a contrast Robert Elms has Katie Melua on today !
