Pete Townshend's Lifehouse album. Baba O'Riley, the orchestral version, is quite a listen. Good preparation for the savagery of a reckless group of Y9 students.

I've been having a bit of a Who and Pete Townshend phase recently and it got me thinking how much I now prefer Pete's voice to Roger's. Thirty years ago I couldn't cope without Daltrey's garbled roar, but now the subtleties of Mr. T win out.

Emiliana Torrini - Fisherman's Woman The Field - From here we go sublime Portishead - Third

Lucinda Williams - Car wheels on a gravel road.

perfect anytime of day.

Thin LIzzy - Vagaonds(disc 1 from the 4 disc ear-book) VAGABONDS KINGS WARRIORS ANGELS

As recommended by Thaiman(as far as i recall?)

Ive got a few current favourites

1. Hot Chip - Made in the dark
2. Justice - Cross
3. The Long Blondes - Couples
4. Santogold - Santogold
5. There will be blood - Jonny Greenwood

I got the new Portishead when it came out, expecting big things after being pretty into them the first time round.  Stuck it on, realised theyre actually quite dull and havent played it since! 

 

 

`Yours Truly` - Air Supply    This album contains a stunning song called `You Are The Reason` featuring a guest vocalist named Mehnaz. 

Gabriela Montero - Bach and Beyond (awesome piano improvisation!) The Postal Service - Give up Colleen - The Golden Morning Breaks (Leaf label)

Oh love that album and haven't listened to it in years (have it on Minidisc somewhere....[goes to dig it out]) Really enjoying Amy MacDonald 'This Is The Life'...great talent for someone so young!
