I watched the new Classic Album on the iPlayer (I really hope there are more new ones to come) of Carly Simon's No Secrets.
I've never really paid much attention to her before, that 1970s singer songwriter thing doesn't do much for me, but she had a great, great voice as well as a being a songwriter, skilled pianist and rather foxy as a young woman.
The most interesting bit, for me,was the story behind the bass line at the beginning of You're So Vain, partly because I'd never realised before it was a bass (although I don't know what I thought it was)!

Cast's new album is great! I saw them a couple of weeks ago not expecting much and was impressed. Get on it if you fancy some easy listening.

Same here - never figured out what instrument that was played on. My older sister had the album - I remember being strangely drawn to its cover in my youth.

There's a DVD my son had when he was little (Piglet's Big Movie) that featured Carly Simon (before the dodgy surgery) signing a song at the end. Even by that point, she still had it....

There was some discussion about the cover, the photographer was saying this was the seventies and he was used to going to love ins so he hadn't even noticed nipples through a jumper.
I was born into the wrong time...

The nipples were always a stand out feature for me....

The Sonic Executives - a "one off" album released in Japan.

Seems they've been listening to Jellyfish = The Beach Boys, The Beatles, 10CC, Supertramp.

Like it and they also remind me of The Feeling.

This prompted me to listen to a mate's album and this one track is in a similar vein (great lyrics and cleverly done)

MagicPigDetective

Slowdive; not many bands have reformed after 20+ years and made music that matches their original output. Slowdive have done it. Has to be one of the finest albums of the last decade.

Chris Stapleton.  I'm not a fan of Country music. But his new album sounds so good. Country without the cheese, with a dose of blues. Hell of a voice too. 

Sporky

Restorations, who aren't at all what I'd think I'd like if you described them to me. Strangely I first heard them on a Rosetta joint release; they are nothing like Rosetta.

Barrivee

I imported this recently. Can't stop playing it.

Pretty sure I was recommended them by someone on here, but a couple of weeks ago I found the Sasquatch albums I saved to my phone a while back. I didn't remember much about them so gave them a listen through and have pretty much been listening to them at every opportunity for the last week or so now. Awesome stuff!

Hoof

Elder. I Stumbled across this cover of Voodoo Chile while looking for snippets from their new album.

wayneirie

Sehorns soul farm
staple singers (gospel stuff rather than the stax sides)
blind willie johnson.

Octahedron

I've been listening to the new Snakecharmer album. 
Wait til the riff kicks in. Can anyone name the AC/DC song that the main riff sounds like a blatant rip off of?  

Still, a really great album (their second). Singer has a great voice, the songs are delightfully melodic and I really love the singles from the album that were put on iTunes prior to its release (especially That Kind of Love). 

andyp

Hmmm. I'm hearing "Big Gun" but not quite...

They sound worth a listen.

Its really very good isn't it? But that should be no surprise. 

I've also been listening to Father John Misty's incredible new record, Charles Hayward and a Time and Space Machine remix ep. 

As soon as I get paid I'd be getting POND's new album and also a Gorilaz remix (dub) remix record I've inexplicably just found called Liaka come home.
