What tune in your playlist/radio are you listening to currently? I'm digging Danzig so far.

What are you listening to right now...

HELLFURY

Behemoth - Demigod

DaFiz

I don't have any Jeff Healey on cd or mp3 (my cassette tapes all ended up in a box in the garage)

so I went in search and found all the regular stuff on mp3raid (Tore Down/ While My Guitar Gently Weeps)

in another folder I found some stuff I've not heard before...

Also currently listening to Jeff Healey, Legacy:Vol 1
I can't believe the guy was 22 when he played at the Hammersmith Odeon, grief, absolutely amazing!

baseline

borrowed one of my daughters Cd's " the Verve" Bitter sweet symphony very good it;s one of those hooks that keep you replaying it.

Got a signed copy of the best of Turin Brakes - a very talented acoustic folk duo with an ear for a good melody - had that on for a couple of days now. Also the new Jet - straight forward, dumb rock record

Jack-Flash-Jr

Oysterhead....! Just got it from a friend: Trey (phish), Les Claypool (primus) and Stewart Copeland (police). Odd!

BMU

Becoming The Archetype - Dichotomy. Very good, better than the previous one imo. I think getting Hevy Devy (Devin Townsend) to produce really lifted their creativity, this is a great album.

got the new Alexisonfire, my itunes filter has been stuck on the band 4 a while now

I dug out my copy of John Hiatt's Bring The Family. It's a great record in so many ways. Not least of those ways is Ry Cooder's contribution to the album. Hiatt has a small backing band on this disc - Cooder, Nick Lowe and Jim Keltner - and so Cooder is very prominent and he is in rare form. The man sounds like two players sometimes, and his tone is just fantastic (I have read that he spent a long time after this record trying to recreate that tone and never quite got it again). In particular there's his intro to "Alone In The Dark" and the riff he cranks out on "Thing Called Love". Jim Keltner, one of my favourite drummers, is in very good form too.

Wizard

Black Sabbath - Fairies wear boots.

What guitar is used for those lead solo's?

He used a Gibson SG mostly, didn't he?

So far today:

Talking Heads - Remain In Light
Steve Vai - Where The Wild Things Are
Porcipine Tree - Darkwing
Wierd Al Yankovic - Poodle Hat

It strikes me again, just how underrated Wierd Al really is, especially on his original stuff: Just listen to Hardware Store - absolutely amazing! And of course, Genius in France - perfect take on Frank Zappa's Them Or Us style, without copying anything.

Not everyone's cup of tea - but beautifully produced stuff.

Steve Morse Band - Out Standing In Their Field
The band new one from Morse and two cohorts: Dave La Rue on Bass and Van Romaine on Drums. On the strength of one listen (so far), I'd say it's probably his best album since Southern Steel. All the trademarks are there - tasty melodies and harmonies, interesting progressions, baroque influenced counterpoint, country pickin', Irish Jigs and the rarest of the rare: tasteful shred. Highly recommended.

Want Two by Rufus Wainwright. I am enjoying the extravagant vocal arrangements.

Axis Bold as Love by ~~The One, The Only, The Eternal, He-who-will-never-be-surpassed, the Infinite, the omni-present, the guru, the Grand Mufti, the Jedi of all Jedis~~ Jimi Hendrix.

And you know what I enjoy about this album? The rhythm guitar. Jimi seems to have an infinite palette of licks and inversions at his disposal, he just has so many guitaring resources available at any given time and this gives so much colour and movement to the arrangements.

That and Mitch Mitchell's drumming.

That Mitch sure had some chops - makes a song like "Fire", I love that style... Bonham on "Bring It On Home" as well...

... Highly recommended.

New Steve Morse...oh cool. I'm going to pick that up. I only have Structural Damage. How does this compare?

On SD, I found his guitar tone a little wheeny, I really wished he'd be more in-your-face with it. Shred doesn't have to be all that tasteful to keep me happy. (Intelligent and original in some way, definitely. Tasteful, that's optional. ? ) However, over time I've found myself repeatedly going back to the album when I'm in the mood for something melodic and gentle. So I guess in the end I "got" what he's doing.

Slightly off topic: Who attended his workshop in Newtown JHB when Deep Purple toured here? When was it... '94 maybe? Man what an awesome, awesome player and nice guy.

Was feeling very chuffed last night as to how my Travis picking was going, then listened to The Pentangle on the way to work and realised what a beginner I am at this fingerstyle guitarring.
