I don't recall seeing a music thread for a while. What songs are on your playlist today?
Have been listening to Clare Martin a brilliant jazz/blues singer whose concert I went to on Tuesday night with fellow FoFer Jenny
Should I buy a new suit?
morgon page in the air (elkoe remix) this would be more for dj fans but you never know :)
muddy waters
John Mayer makes for a nice Pandora station. So does Ed Sheeran.
Jamie T's long-awaited new record. It was worth the wait.

I was recently watching an old clip on YouTube of John Lydon visiting the Finsbury Park council house where he grew up, and he spoke movingly of how it reminded him of his late mother-and I remembered that the PiL song Death Disco was to do with his mother's death -
'in his autobiography, Rotten: No Irish, No Blacks, No Dogs, Lydon stated that the song was written for his mother, who had died of cancer not long before. In a BBC TV news interview at 09:10 on 7 July 2010, he spoke of how his mother was treated badly by the church and that they would not give her the Last Rites in the hospital where she died. The song expressed his feelings about this as a kind of 'shout therapy'.
"I watched her die," he told Select in 1990. "She was tough, my mum. She asked me to write a disco song for her funeral. This was hardly happy stuff." '

Love Nick Drake too.
I love the Nick Drake song, "Pink Moon". Rediscovered an old George Strait album in my collection, "Chill of an Early Fall." There are at least 4 classic country hits on that album worth hearing. My wife's favorite is "If I Know Me." http://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=1&cad=rja&uact=8&ved=0CCEQyCkwAA&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.youtube.com%2Fwatch%3Fv%3DVvN4ThH66AY&ei=krMtVPvjNI7-yQSqvIGQCQ&usg=AFQjCNG6UrG7nbTinY_G4XokqRicyYCxtA&bvm=bv.76802529,d.aWw (http://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=1&cad=rja&uact=8&ved=0CCEQyCkwAA&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.youtube.com%2Fwatch%3Fv%3DVvN4ThH66AY&ei=krMtVPvjNI7-yQSqvIGQCQ&usg=AFQjCNG6UrG7nbTinY_G4XokqRicyYCxtA&bvm=bv.76802529,d.aWw)

Muse "Revolution"...
To be honest there is only about half of the Resistance album I actual like. My preference is Muse's early stuff, Order of Symmetry and Absolution. Love them live, poor Mr B was dragged along to one of the gigs I've been to and he wasn't best chuffed

Resistance was average, compared to Showbiz, OoS and Absolution.
Mad to think Showbiz was my first ever album I bought, at the age of 6.
Alt-J is very popular with me
Merchandise
Keb Mo
Scott Walker, what a voice.
KD Lang Album Shadowland.
Interesting choices here.
Jamie T - not heard his name since I was at uni, muse are always good but not listened to much of their new stuff. The problem living in China is I find I am not keeping upto date with music.
To answer the OP the last song I was listening to was Avicii on a very mixed playlist.

Shadowland is a great album. the self-proclaimed 'big boned girl from Alberta.' She worked with one of the world's best music producers on that one.

Love PIL. Lately I've been listening to OFF!
Arcade Fire - Funeral got me through the misery that was an hour on a replacement bus service at 5am just to get to work..
Oh I love Arcade Fire. A few years I saw them at Hyde Park. It was a balmy summer evening and they were the last act. The sun was setting and it was twilight, it was magical.
Another person/occassion that was transficting was seeing PJ Harvey performing 'Let England Shake' at the Albert Hall, another amazing performance
Oh how I love music
30 or 40 years ago Stevie Nicks had a great voice and she was hot.
