Oh and by the way...

I have been aware for sometime that my music listening habits are stuck in a timewarp. I need to investigate some good new bands. Not necessarily brand new stuff but considering that the last album I bought was Nick Drake...See what I mean?

My dear nephew Cyril tried to drag his old Auntie into the 21st century with a complilation CD but I didn't get it. Who are the Snow Monkeys anyway? And is it me or are the Kaiser Chiefs just Madness in new suits?
So do me a favour and recommend something that is accessible for a folky old fart, I am getting tired of Enya.

I can highly recommend Loreena McKennit- she's my absolute favorite.

...and if you're an old fart,where does that leave me?

This music is very upbeat and catchy...sort of romantic.....lemme know if you like it :)

Hold on! you're not old! (from someone who just hit 38, ya know?!)

I listen to whatver I darn well please and it's nobody's business to judge me... I've got videos of some of my favs on my blog's side column, but it no way represents even a fraction of stuff I like.

Just be yourself :-)

Lorraine: I'll check out you tube and fartiness is a state of mind. I've read your blog, (not to mention that fab saying of yours on Jerry's blog)
lol! Old fart you most definately are not :D

My Darling Cyril: I did like it, I just didn't relate to it that's all. You still love me tho right?

Jessica: Wow cool, you can put links up in comments! And I will check it out right now :)

Technodoll: I am 36 next month. Where did the last ten years go? Will the next decade whizz by as quickly? Arrrgh!
And I like all sorts of stuff too but I am stuck in a rut musically speaking. I need some new tunes.

Cara Dillon (Irish and kind of Folkish), Jose Gonzalez ... maybe I should make you a wee compilation CD!

Technodoll said...

What kind of music do you like?... would be easier to give you a link to some new tunes :-)

Well... I suppose.
When are you off to Ashblardiblargh anyway?

Sian said...

Pippa: That sounds good, I like Irish and the compilation CD would be fab :)

Technodoll: I like a lot of stuff. Folk, bluegrass,easy jazz, I like some heavy stuff (though not thrash.Really, I am after something edgy and contemporary, something to push the old boundaries, you know?

Cyril: Blogging in reception right now babe. Woo hoo for wireless :)
