Okay..I know..I've lost the run of myself...but I thought would be interesting to know what kind of stuff we are all listening to these days! Maybe get some ideas for new CD's to buy..or dare I say it..Chrissy pressies...hehehe!!

To start the ball rolling... I'm listening a lot to Thom Yorke's debut solo effort The Eraser at the moment..listen to quite a lot of different stuff..but that album seems to get played more than any other at the moment...

I've got the new Mogwai album Mr Beast on a loop for the past few weeks, it is kickin'... they are fantastic, not sure if many people know of 'em.  Went to see them in the Olympia a good few years back and was v impressed.  I know they played the Electric Picnic recently but I couldn't make it down.  They have such a great sound, sonic landscape type stuff with amazing huge kick ass guitar breaks after great build ups! I think any ex Grover would love 'em.

Em.. I got out my Zeppelin albums the other day, a break from The Tweenies (I have a 2 yr old girl).

When I go walking in the evenings I blast out Led Zep 11 and Led Zep IV. I am very partial to Guns N' Roses "Appetite For Destruction". I still think that is one of the best albums ever.

On the other side of me, I have been playing Madonna's "Confession's On A Dancefloor". Great for a boogie, the track's are all upbeat, great party album i'd reckon.

I also love Bic Runga and The Cardigans.

Am also listening to compilation Cd's I've done recently and over the last year.

Have 26 done now and they have music that I love and span many years and which I bring with me when I'm going away.

I found a bar in Bangkok that lets me take over the music when I'm there and I play my Cd's.

They get great reviews from people who drop in.

Funny enough..

Been listening to a lot of prog rock of late! Meep!

So Yes, Rainbow, Van Halen, Foreigner, Ram Jam, Boston, Fleetwood Mac.. you get the picture eh!

Basically a lot of the old old Grove Classics..

Now where did I put my Stevie Nicks album - I just love her!

O

Like I said before, I'm not that much of a goth to not listen to other stuff.. and er I wasn't always a goth either! I hung around many rockers on summer hols in Wexford as a teenager before, during and after my Grove years!

Also Boston's 1st album actually.  Always loved 'more than a feeling' but even more since the documentary.  In fact, whole album is brill - as is most of Boston's stuff, IMHO.

Think a lot of us Ex-Grovers seem to be like that Orla. I know a lot of the people I hung around with were into other musical types. Some of my best mates were Mods and Rudeboys and Punks..so as well as the stuff I was in to I listened to the likes of The Jam, The Kinks, Small Faces, Madness, The Specials, Desmond Dekker, The Clash, The Buzzcocks...and I still love to listen to that kinda stuff now...like you say...is healthy to have a diverse musical collection. There's very little music that I wont try these days.....cept maybe Country and Irish..I draw the line there...hehehe....

Lately listenening to a LOT of Radiohead and I adore Thom Yorke's album The Eraser..kinda getting more into experimental electronic music..soundscape sorta stuff...so looking for recommendations actually...

Anyway..sorry for rambling...hehehe!! do that when I start to talk about my favourite subject...

Oh and I also draw the line with most of the souless monotonous drivel that passes for RnB these days..think I'd listen to C&I before that stuff..

I'm a big fan of Buffy...(I know...little old for it..but I love that show
)..and there was this episode were this soul-less demon,  masquerading as a human, was rooming with Buffy and she had a huge poster of Celine Dion on the wall...always thought that was perfect..*g*

LOL Dixie!

I'm listening to Jack Johnston at the mo - anyone heard his stuff.  Real summer chill out music.  So obviously it'll have to go with the current weather....................

Can't say I've heard much of him yet...saw a copy of the CD at a friends house the other night..was a little intrigued cos it looked like some kind of folky blues thing..but then maybe I was just associating with Robert Johnson or something..

Is it any good? what kinda stuff does he do?

Its bouncy summer flip flop music - sorry its better than that but the best I description I can muster at the mo - off to find out what sh*t hit the fan while I was off.  Worth a listen though.

Later lads and lassies.

Ditto Blondie. As stated above I've compiled 26 Cd's of music from across the years. This the stuff I'm playing mostly but also my vinyl get a run as well.

Was listening to "Live Dates" by Wishbone Ash over the weekend.

Rock on.
