Mad about You – Hooverphonic
Club Montepulciano – Hooverphonic
Breathe (PC Synergy’s Mellifluous Mix) – Crystal Stafford
Innocente – Delerium/Leigh Nashs
Love Show – Skye
Habla Con Hella – Alberto Iglesias

It’s all kind of downtempo/glass of red [...]

You can’t hear it now but currently pouring out of my stereo is a piece called Ar Baradoz. You’ll find it here on Youtube, however.
The weather is sort of funny at the moment – it’s been really warm, last night, meaning I couldn’t sleep, and really cold now, meaning I wish I was asleep. It’s [...]

Way back in the day, 20 odd years ago, when I was a student, I had a fairly obscure taste in music and wound up going to lots of gigs in a place called Whelans on my own because none of my friends had ever heard of half the artists I liked or was interested [...]

I have a lot on my mind today, so instead of doing what I usually do which is run to the climbing wall and wear myself out, I booked a piano room in Waltons. I used to play the piano a lot, and it frequently helps me to get some clarity of thought. I need [...]

Last night I traipsed into the Academy to see Xavier Rudd in concert. I’d love to know where people find out about guys like this but I suspect the answer is Phantom FM. I found out about him on an ice-climbing video on YouTube. Truly the internet, when it is not being peopled by halfbrained [...]

Yesterday, in a rather unwise move, I had 2FM on in the car while I drove, oh three whole kilometres to the nearest Easons to buy the Pratchett book that I spent yesterday evening reading.
This was not a wise move. I don’t know who is on post 5pm on 2FM but I don’t want to [...]

Rachmaninov – Piano Concerto II in C Minor
Grieg – Piano Concert in Am
Schumann – Piano Concerto in Am
Brahms – Piano Concert II

Incantation by Massive Attack
I have at least two friends who are Massive Attack fans who have never heard of this. I guess best of/collected albums are good for a few things.
Fallen by Sarah McLachlan
Piano Concert No 2, First Movement, Camille Saint-Saens
Say it one more time – Home Video. Can’t find a youtube link for that

First up, the ticket found its way to me via Toutless.com which is a terrific idea and I like it very much.

So last night I traipsed into town to see Massive Attack. I like a lot of stuff by Massive Attack. Some of their stuff has blown my mind. And for me, Massive Attack is [...]
