Listeing to a iTunes shuffle of XTC's Skylarking, The Clash debut, Armed Forces, Rockpile's Seconds of Pleasure, More Specials, Smiths' Hatful of Hollow, Parker's Squeezing Out Sparks, Wire's Chairs Missing and Arcade Fire's Funeral.
I am currently listening to The Complete Adventures of The Style Council and realising now what on earth was going on with my life at that time let alone Paul Weller's.
So what was going on in your life? There's almost nothing I can bear to listen to by them, not that I have that as an option, so I'm happy to not realise what was going on in Paul's.
I'm playing Katie Melua. Yes, indeed. My wife is keen, and I wanted to hear what she did to the Cure's gorgeous Just Like Heaven. Well, it was pretty predictable. Yawwwn. Nice photos all over the booklet, mind.
There's more to life than books, you know, but not much more
Great album. Kiss Me Miss Liberty, Still Photo, Infinite Combinations, To Whom It May Concern, Other People's Failure, "my song" The King's Dead Boring...

Dodgy haircut, dodgy clothes, rubbish Paul Weller albums (The Cost of Loving, Confessions of a Pop Group), no Elvis to speak of...
Foo Fighters - In Your Honor. It's like they've made two 40 minute albums, the first sounds like a pretty good regular Foo Fighters album, it would have been enough. The second, is Grohl playing acoustic, mostly mellow stuff - about half the songs seem like works in progress, Grohl bursts of inspiration that he might polish later but that still draw you in. Although Disc 2 might not hold up as well after a few more listens, Disc 1 should. Fave songs: Disc 1: Resolve, No Way Back, Free Me; Disc 2: What If I Do, Friend Of A Friend, Cold Day In The Sun
I own most of Pink Floyds album. But while I no longer listen to most of them frequently, this is a favourite album of mine. Supposed to be a collection of The Wall-leftovers I think this is much better than The Wall itself. I also love Roger Waters solo album Amused To Death.
I've not heard that much Prince, I own Purple Rain and Around The World... on CD and recently got used vinyl copies of Sign... & 1999. Listening to 1999 as is rather obvious. This track is so awesome
It ranges from plaintive solo performances by Paul Kelly to full band bluegrass jamming. Most of it sounds like a mix of folk and country though. It sounds great - banjo, fiddle, accordion... Features a Louvin Bros cover with Kasey Chambers, You're Learning. And on the 4 song bonus disc I got, Rank Stranger (Albert E Brumley) which Bob Dylan also covered. I'm listening to this in anticipation of hearing Bruce Springsteen's new The Seeger Sessions album.
