Here’s another CD I’ve really been enjoying, but under For My Ears Only. This is because it’s a rough, raw, almost cheekily punkish rock sound, and David’s CD collectioin runs more to James Taylor and Kenny G. Me, I may be middle-aged, but musically I’m in denial. 😉 The first thing you hear on this CD is that the singer doesn’t give a crap about singing in “Received English” – he’s a Yorkshire lad, they’re all Yorkshire lads, and they’re not having any of that elitist crrrap about singing like a BBC advert for the latest beer or ringtone or…

I admit it, I enjoy listening to Enya sing. Some of her music is special to me, but a lot of it can be too much of a new-agey muchness.

There’s a classic Monty Python sketch about the death of Mary, Queen of Scots. On the LP I used to listen to in college (remember vinyl) the sound effects indicated a lively beating with caterwauling, and then someone whispers “I think she’s dead, then.” To which Mary replies “No, I’m not” and the whack-whack bang-bang caterwauling begins again. NO, I’m not dead. I’ve just been sorta… busy. 😀 Also, haven’t had a chance to use the Internets for a couple of days. More on that later.
