    What're you listening to?

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

    Ariana usually swings by Largehearted Boy's Try it before you buy it posts on Tuesday mornings, too.

    Commence playlist speakage.

    Me, right now? NEU!, A Sunny Day In Glasgow, Blank Dogs

    I'm listening to Dejine Compilation by Asthmatic Astronaut and I suspect I will do for most of the week.

    Haven't listened to Neu! in ages. I think I should fix that.

    I'm still on my Animal Collective - Merriweather Post Pavilion trip, even though the rest of my music taste has become far more autumnal. Boards of Canada - Geogaddi and A Silver Mt Zion - Born Into Trouble as the Sparks Fly Upwards. The latter makes me feel especially miserable, but in the loveliest way.

    Currently listening to The Waco Brothers: live at Schubas tavern and now that I've hooked up my ancient hi-fi system and very old turntable (it doesn't even automatically lift at the end of a record and the arm's counter-balance is a weight on a wire) working my way through an ancient vinyl collection from the Readers Digest called Great and Original Hits of the 50s & 60s, which is a nine record affair - one per year from 1950 - 1969 - that I listened to a lot as a kid and extracted from my parents' collection when I was last home.
