MUSIC - What are ASF members listening to?

[3 veiws of a secret]

Bought this one tonight:
Michael Franti/Spearhead "Stay Human" "and all the freaky people,make the beauty of the world!" interesting material !

Compare with Helen Shapiro aged 11 in 1960

Shapiro had a mature voice for her age, but the song she's singing in that video doesn't show a fraction of the vocal ability of Bianca Ryan.

Ryan's voice is unbelievable for someone her age. You can hear the original sung in the stage production here by Jennifer Holliday (with a bit of intro). Holliday is a large, black woman, and while the style is a little different for the stage show, I think Ryan's version is easily as good.

I've watched that video clip of Ryan at least 30 times now, and it just blows me away each time.

I have rediscovered music since the CD player died. Bought a Squeezebox (www.slimdevices.com) and ripped all the CD's in the house into lossless FLAC format.

It's amazing to put 2500 songs on random play in CD quality on a wireless music player! The only sensible way to store and play music is on a hard drive!

Playing right now is an all female lineup;
10. Dreamland by Madeleine Peyroux from Dreamland
15. Shiny Apple by The Waifs from A Brief History... disc two...
1. Extraordinary Machine by Apple,Fiona from Extraordinary Machine
6. The More I See You by Toots Thielemans & Shirley Horn from For My Lady
4. Brown Skin by India Arie from Acoustic Soul
1. 33 RPM Soul by Michelle Shocked from Arkansas Traveler
10. Last Hard Bible by Kasey Chambers from The Captain
6. (Don't You Mess Around With) My Little Sister by Michelle Shocked from Captain Swing
14. The Nearness Of You by Norah Jones from Come Away With Me
6. Forca by Nelly Furtado from Folklore
15. Erin shore (instrumental) by The Corrs from Forgiven, Not Forgotten
5. Jealous Guy by Madeleine Peyroux & William Galison from Got You On My Mind
1. At last by Etta James from Her Best (Chess 50th Anniversary Collection)
9. Tortured, Tangled Hearts by Dixie Chicks from Home
3. Life For Rent by Dido from Life For Rent
12. Little Earthquakes by Tori Amos from Little Earthquakes
7. Te Busque (ft. Juanes) by Nelly Furtado from Loose

But I also delved into my younger days with recent purchases of Neil Young, Led Zeppelin, Bob Dylan and Tim Buckley. I have also been delving into also sorts of jazz - Miles Davis, Julien Wilson, Madeline Peyroux, John Coltrane etc.

I can't wait to these get delivered; http://www.vaf.com.au/detail.asp?audio=signature&grunt=s1112r14

Also I will definitely be guying some of this http://www.rodgab.com/

That sounds terrific, Stevo. Some wonderful music there. Michelle Shocked isn't heard as much as she should be.

Great stuff, Stevo ... I wonder if your interest was prompted by my post earlier in this thread (a couple of pages back)?

Something else I discovered recently:

Everything Must Change - Orange Blossom (electronic, "World" music, here's some info, a Quicktime video clip, another clip with interviews).

Cheers, Staybaker.

Internet radio - Mark Egan - Three Way Mirror is playing at the moment, although it's only 128kbps it sounds pretty good on the Squeezebox (www.slimdevices.com) and it's free.

Just because I'm bored this evening, can we have a variation on the "desert island" theme?

i.e. If you were to be marooned somewhere and have your CD player but could only take one CD, what would it be?
