What Are You Listening To Now ?

This week i'm mostly listening to fellow Dorsetarian PJ Harvey. To quote someone else, her singing voice "is an ambassador for the libido", and her back catalogue is as good as or better than anyone who's been making music consistently for the past 30 years.

Here's an outrageous performance of Rid of Me (and some other stuff) from I think 2001?. "Lick my legs", indeed. Enjoy.

At the moment I’ve been listening to bluesy rock so have a bit of a thing for Rival Sons, Black Pistol Fire, Goodbye June(I think the singer sounds like Bon Scott)

She's awesome. To Bring You My Love is one of my all time favourite albums, but the rest of her work is excellent too. I wasn't as much of a fan of Let England Shake onwards, but that's a matter of personal taste. Plus her gig at Bristol Academy during the Uh Huh Her tour was one of my top gigs alongside Fugazi in 2002 at the same venue, and And So I Watch You From Afar at the Cooler in Bristol in 2011.

I saw her on that Big Day Out tour, in Auckland. She was on just before Placebo. Memorable day. Me and my goth friends met Brian Molko on Queen St the day before, aptly named

Let England Shake is my favourite album of hers. It was prescient given the jingoism and brexit bollocks that followed

Been listening to some Richard Hawley and a friend of mine, Jo Pace who was in a band called Hank Dogs.  Beautiful voice.

Is that worth a listen ?

2009 Journey gig in Manila on Sky Arts.

Arnel Pineda and Deen Castronovo sung so well on this gig. Neal Schon had his moments, too, with some nice melodic soloing but got very messy with those fast flurries.

This has been in my head all morning so I’ve found it on YouTube. Classic 70s yacht rock, catchy as hell although actually from the 80s.

For some reason, this.

Ooer, lovely guitar tone. I'm betting that's a 335.

Seems to have been Paul Chester on guitar although more known as a composer/ multi instrumentalist than as a session guitarist. It is lovely playing and sound .
