Discussion: What are you listening to?

The Artwoods - Art Gallery

The Artwoods – Art Gallery

Ok, another popular discussion thread is back – what are you listening to?

So, just what are you listening to?

Personally, out of the pile of things I’m listening to right now, the following are perhaps being spun more than others:

Various Artists – Le Beat Bespoke Volume 5 (Circle Records)
The School – Reading Too Much Into Things Like Everything (Elefant)
The Artwoods – Art Gallery (Repertoire)
Fay Hallam and the Bongolian – Lost In Sound (Blow-Up)
Steve Flanagan – I’ve Arrived (Spoke 45)

…and for those noisier moments, the DetroitRockSampler Spotify playlist on Electric Roulette. Not one for the faint hearted.

So, what are you playing right now? Let us know in the comments section below…

    I’ve had Raina by Nick Waterhouse on constant repeat in my head for the last day or so.

    Album-wise, I’m into Miles of Styles by Shawn Lee’s Ping Pong Orchestra at the moment

    The Who – Sell Out (expanded edition)  
     Pure pop fun, and the Radio London type commericals in between songs will always make you chuckle. An underrated album for sure.

    Circuit 68 – band of Modernists from the North East of England – their self made album ‘ELEVEN’ was released last November and is casusing a stir locally – here’s a youtube clip and I think it has a free download.

    Been listening to all of the Small Faces reissues on CD over the past month and I’m sure like many Small Faces completists are wondering what’s coming next? I seem to remember reading comments made my Kenney/Mac that plans were being made for a Small Faces box set featuring a sizeable amount of unreleased material. Does anybody out there know if this is still going to happen?
     
    Having read a number of recent interviews surrounding these reissues it would seem a large number of the Small Faces master tapes have been stolen/disappeared and so are we to assume that what is now out there as bonus material on these deluxe edition reissues is the end of the Small Faces story?
     
    The lack of Autumn Stone as part of this current series (which, along with ‘From The Beginning’, appeared to as a collection of unreleased instrumentals, singles and live tracks cobbled together by Immediate to form a ‘Best of’ following the bands demise) However, it did feature gems such as ‘Autumn Stone’, Red Balloon, The Universal and the brilliant instrumental ‘Wide Eyed Girl on the Wall’. Are we to assume that these tracks along with ‘Donkey Rides A Penny A Glass’ (and lesser known instrumental out takes such as ‘The Pigs Trotters’ and ‘War Of The Worlds’) could form part of the aforementioned box set later in the year???
     
    PS: Charly Worldwide (who have provided a large part of the material released by Universal for this reissue series) appear to be releasing both the Small Faces album (Immediate) along with Ogdens (deluxe vinyl) alongside Universal’s reissue series. Why is this? Adverts for both products specify that neither are for sale in the U.K., and that any orders made from within the U.K. will have their payments returned (as with HIP-O many years ago and their rare motown reissues). Are we to assume Universal will soon follow suit and issue similar packages to these for sale within the U.K.?

      In response to my own question, Mojo magazine have answered it, in their October issue (Kenney Jones meets Bradley Wiggins, P.14). Check it out for news of the 5 Disc Small Faces Box Set out in the New Year! (So I wasn’t imagining it after all!)

  • Craig Isle

    The Jam, always the jam

  • Coleon

    Hi,

    Newbie here – I have made a few compilations in Spotify – Incase anyone it interested (and uses Spotify) search for Coleon and let me know what you think??? Mod Revival is a work in progress whilst the other two should appeal to a wider audience, some stuff you will no doubt no, other stuff you may not, check it out and keep it real folks

  • Temple66

    Zu Zu Man by the Zu Zu Blues Band. Awesome! Apparently it’s an early-60s incarnation of Dr John. Far better than the stuff he’s famous for.

  • Matt James
