    So what are you listening to right now?

    New week's releases are up at http://www.piccadillyrecords.com - just choose a genre from left and click "magic mix" to stream excerpts from the new releases.

    At Piccadilly Records, btw, they're talking up Bon Iver, a new 65daysofstatic and a new M83...

    Did you enjoy Holy Fuck Warren? They're playing the SB Empire next Monday along with Blonde Redheads and Devastations.
  3.  (1787.3)
    HOLY FUCK should play a theme show with HOLY SHIT!, even though they are nothing alike. i just like the idea.
  4.  (1787.4)
    Heh, supported by Holy Terror and Holy Moses?
  5.  (1787.5)
    Nowadays, I'm listening some records by Harmonia Mundi, a great classic record label. The records: Vespro della Beata Vergine, by Monteverdi; Bestiario de Cristo (based in some medieval material played by the scholar chamber group Alia Musica) and Powers of Heaven, a collection of orthodox music.

    More: the 2046 film soundtrack; a CD tribute to the Rocky Ericsson, When the Pyramid Meets the Eye and some 80's Brazilian punk and post-punk bands (Inocentes, Vzyadoq Moe, etc).

    I'm listening to lots of Edith Piaf, the new Goldfrapp album, the soundtrack to Avenue Q (getting in the mood cause me and the boyfriend will be going to that in the summer), and one of my friends gave me an Aesma Daeva album called The Eros Of Frigid Beauty. I've never heard Aesma Daeva before, so I'll be giving that a listen sometime today...

    I actually have been listening to that M83 you mentioned, Warren, cos Jeph Jacques over at Questionable Content mentioned it had been leaked, and he recommends good shit usually.

    The tail end of my 'New Shit' Playlist also has some (all of) In Excelsis, one of those post-punk sorta gigs from back when, Sebastian Tellier's new album Sexuality because dirty french electropop is never a bad thing, and The OMD Singles by Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark.

    Besides the new stuff, I'm also listening to The Sisters of Mercy, Roxette, E Nomine and Nightwish, mostly. And some mixes by Kev36663 and Tacopunch.

    Perfume - Polyrhythm

    I heard this song everywhere on my trip to Tokyo and now I've finally found it.
    I also expect my brain to leak out of my ears within a few hours (cause: 1m:37s onwards).

    @Azmooo

    That was pretty awesome. Just all like perfectly average pop, slightly cute girls, then BAM, turn the vocoder way up and what the hell was that.

    I'm enjoying assorted Sigur Rós songs, Turning Dragon by Clark and the much feted Moshi Moshi Singles Club compilation, which is ace.

    The album People Like People Like You by Spokes has rejoined my heavy rotation list. It's gorgeous and already one of my favourite albums of '08.

    Miles Davis - Porgy and Bess

    Steve Reich - Daniel Variations

    FUNERAL FOR A FRIEND-casually dressed and deep in conversation cd (poppy whiny music, that strangely features a refrain of BACK AND TO THE LEFT that i never noticed before)
    MARS VOLTA-bedlam in goliath cdr ( weirder the more i see through the magic)
    I AM THE RESURRECTION/ OFF MINOR split 12" (emo violence destruction)
    HEWHOCORRUPTS-ten steps to success 12" ( tongue in cheek grind with songs about climbing the corporate ladder, expense account lunches, new 3 piece suits etc...)
