I've just come across this performance of in my opinion the best song of 2006, 'My Secret is My Silence' by Roddy Woomble at the Cambridge Folk Festival. You can see my video of the song here from when I saw him on London last summer.
According to this article on the NME website we may soon be worshipping using 'One' and 'Beautiful Day'
So I better dust down the electric guitar and turn up the amp.
I've just come across the as yet to be released new single and video from one of my favourite bands Idlewild here. I'm loving the track and it seems to be a return to slightly harder rockier stuff but not quite as much as there first album where as a 16 year old I thought I was going to die in the mosh pit of the Camden Dingwalls (now Jonglers). I've followed Idlewild development and in the last 8/9 years and there journey and maturing of music and lyrics has in some way mirrored the mine.
It's was great to see lead singer Roddy Woomble last summer on his folk tour, but unfortunately I can't make the London Idlewild date. Well hey ho I'll just have to wait for the album.
I love Radiohead's Just off of one of my all time favourite albums 'The Bends'. The video however still remains a ministry to me. I would love someone to share there wisdom of what they think is going on in it. I find it really compelling and i don't know why, maybe it is that element of the unknown about it. Any thoughts welcomed.
Here is what i'm listening to at the moment. Anyone discovered anything new that is worth a listen. Feel like i just back catelogue now as i don't buy much new stuff out. 
I also heard an interview the other day about how some musicians are very disheartened about making albums nowadays due to the downloadable music phenomenon. The complaint was that people will just pick particualr songs off of albums (the singles) and then don't listen to anything else off of it. I think that it's so true and a real shame. I remember the days of buying the album listening to how it was structured and trying to work out the lyrics. Ah the good old days
