What song are you listening to?

I hope it's a fucking deep, dark cellar.

Killers gig was bloody marvellous ... been a while since I was at an arena gig, so had a fucking BLAST.

I was half expecting you to post Coming Around Again, but I'm glad you posted this instead. Musically more interesting, lyrically more soulful and a stronger voice to boot.

'Barely known' even by its creators, it seems ... apparently all John Taylor recalls of making it is smoking hash oil.

Plus the next album had 2 absolutely belting singles in Ordinary World and Come Undone ... don't think Liberty performed too well in that department, although Serious wasn't bad at all.

I am currently enjoying U2's Songs Of Experience ... yeah yeah yeah, Bono. I know. Believe me, I know.

Let's just say that as both a long-standing aficionado of the band and of Top Gear, I know what it's like to be a fan of popular things with a nonetheless very divisive frontman.

What do you get when you cross Rosa Klebb with On Her Majesty's Secret Service?

If I was lesbian (might have munched on some carpets during University actually but my lips are sealed...)...oh gosh, I adored Dido back in 1999-2003. She looks fab in the White Flag video.

Wonder if there's an actual recording of this anywhere? Chorus is great for some solo fingering....

Getting into Interpol. 4:00 is interesting.

Working off some Christmas calories with this. I do the same thing as the chick who kicks in at 1:12, it's fun.

I find relaxation with this when the kids aren't around and I need a toke. Does this band have a frog in it?

(I'm just in a weird mood I guess).

Not weird enough. Denver was a skilled songwriter, but his work is too pretty for me. I like a bit of dissonance in music as in life.

Recently I’ve been revisiting Kate Bush's back catalogue. I'm increasingly of the opinion that she is England’s only great female music artist, though I like this somewhat irreverent cover

So do I, usually, hence the weird mood remark.

France Gall has passed away at 70 due to cancer.

R.I.P.

If nothing else, I respect her for the way she reinvented herself and relaunched her career in the 1980s, two decades after what was deemed her heyday.
