Last week I was mostly listening to…
February 19th, 2012
This is getting silly now. If I get any later at posting these lists, I’ll end up meeting myself coming the other way. Not that this week’s lateness is entirely my fault. It’s merely mostly my fault. I’m not sure if you noticed but this site had a little down time during the week as one or two technical difficulties wiped me out. Or to put it into layman’s terms, I forgot to renew my hosting. So actually, I lied, it was entirely my fault. Not that this is the time to go pointing the finger of blame. Rather, lets take this opportunity to divert attention back to the reason for the post, which is as ever to point out what I was mostly listening to last week. Not that this is exactly last week’s list. No, this is actually the list for the week 6-12th February. Which is coming up for two weeks ago now. Better late than never I guess. As you can see, my listening is still pretty much being taken up with bands, artists and albums that have been in my collection for some time. Six weeks into the new year and I’ve still not really come across anything new that’s even remotely broken into my listening habits. Not to worry though, after all, I am really enjoying listening to all of these old favourites. Some of which, you can hear if you keep reading a little further down.

I really am getting a little tardy with these posts aren’t I?! So this was supposed to be posted last monday but for reason of pure laziness, it wasn’t. Quite a varied week all in all with the top 2 positions going to a couple of acts that couldn’t really be further removed from one another if they tried. I guess i was going for all sorts of extremes that week. No major patterns of activity to speak of, though it must be noted that Smog has once again appeared on the list. A little less than the last couple of weeks but clearly my rediscovery of Bill Callahan shows no signs of abating. So too for Mazzy Star who I reckon will feature pretty highly on the next post of this kind as they seem to be nuzzled firmly in my listening at the moment as well. Let’s not pre-empt things to much though. Who knows what will happen on my iPod between now and the next time I get round to posting one of these. For the time being, that’s the list and here are some tracks from some of those that made it.

Little late with this one. Should really have posted this on Monday but just didn’t get round to it. Time seems to be slipping away from me at the moment. Lots to do and not enough time to do it all. As you can see though, I’ve still been finding time to fill my ears with lots of musical goodness. While Elliott Smith took the lead last week, I have to say I’ve been indulging in a fair amount of Smog over the last couple of weeks. I hadn’t listened to Bill Callahan’s former moniker in ages so I’ve really enjoyed familiarising myself with his works again. Lovely stuff. As for new music,well same story as the last few weeks to be honest. Not much happening. I’ve got a copy of Lana Del Ray’s album but frankly haven’t yet found the need or desire to put it on. I think media overkill has filled me with a little apathy when it comes to actually seeing what all the fuss or hype is all about. Elsewhere, Jack White’s rather unexpected solo news was a pleasant surprise and the rather understated first single is a lovely little affair that has me all excited about what he’s gonna with that particular project.
Anyways, that was the week that was and here’s some songs from some of the artists that I listened to most.

These weeks sure are flying by. Can’t believe January is drawing to a close and there’s still no new music that’s getting me excited. Maybe I’m just not looking in the right places. Worse still, maybe I’m just getting old. Who knows. I guess only the coming weeks and months will tell. What i do know is that I’m rather enjoying this down time as it’s giving me plenty of opportunity to rediscover lots of records that have been cruelly unplayed in recent times. Some of them have been obvious choices but there’s also a few albums that I’d kind of forgotten about. Which I guess kind of shows that I can’t be getting too old because music in general is still exciting me. I guess I just need to bide my time and keep my ears and eyes open. Alternatively, if you’ve got any hot tips, by all means point me in their direction. In the meantime, here’s a few tracks from some of last week’s most played artists.

Another week down and I’m slowly getting back into the swing of things. Work-wise that is. As you’ve probably noticed, the blog hasn’t exactly been overflowing with posts so far this year. I’ll be honest and say that I’ve not really come across any new music that’s massively excited me and as you can see by last week’s listening habits, I’ve mostly been listening to lots of artists that I’ve either blogged about many times before or who there’s not a great deal to write about. So you’ll have to excuse me if things continue at a snail’s pace for the time being. I may just start to post a few random things or I may just leave well alone and come back to it as and when I get inspiration. I guess we’ll just have to wait and see. In the meantime, as it’s Monday, it’s the usual post. Above is what I was listening to most last week and below are a few tracks from some of those acts.
