Another fairly recent discovery. Should appeal to Neil Young fans.
Aching guitar melodies to die for

Customer helplines that use recorded menus that promise to put me through to the right person but never do - and being ill. Oh, and did I mention customer helplines :)
In case anyone has missed my signature of late or did not click the link in my last post to Playing For Change, here is one of my favourite videos from their site.

All the musicians were recorded separately from all around the world, the individually recorded tracks are then mixed down and this is the result which is pretty spectacular IMHO.

Warning this video may contain Bono.........

Bare in mind whilst listening to this that everyone playing and singing with one rather obvious exception is a street musician and unsigned to any record label, it is a testimony to the success of this musical charity that it attracted the attention of Bono from U2.

soaps on telly and people talking about the characters as if they were real.
No mussic on at the moment
In the car I have "The Moody Blues" and John Barrowman I enjoy the perfection of JB's vocal performance. Never the slightest error of breath control, phrasing or intonation.
In the house I also play a complation of very gentle classics which Joshua loves. Includes Gymnopedie No. 1.[myfavourite for if I'm a bit down} Even if he usesffew words, Joshua can ask me to put on his music when he comes on a Friday
I love Baroque music, but used to love performing it. I haven't sung for years and rarely listen to what was once my passion.
Never really got into popular music.

Lindsey Stirling & Peter Hollens - "Skyrim Theme"

This entire track is just one mans voice and one woman on the violin. That's it.
And it's amazing.

I bring you all one of my most populated playlists on Spotify: http://open.spotify.com/user/givstar/pl ... EnaHReUlxU

It's got loads of tracks on it from a huge range of artists, all of varying genres. Hopefully you'll all find something you like on there! There's a lot of duplicates unfortunately but oh well :lol:

I'm singing this evening - Gilbert & Sullivan "Trial by Jury" & a few other Sullivan songs.

Why listen when you can sing?!?

Anna - I'm really glad you enjoyed it! I had it on repeat for ages, the rest of her music is good as well.

I'm listening to Inon Zur, "Rogue Heart" from the Dragon Age 2 soundtrack:

You really love your video game soundtracks, don't you BlindFaith! :clap: I'm an avid video gamer myself, and think you might find some of the World of Warcraft score interesting.

Indeed, nice to know us gaming folk aren't alone in the world! The Final Fantasy soundtracks are also amazing, especially VI onward :thumbup:

The Borderlands soundtracks are pretty good as well and the "Thane" track on the Mass Effect 2 is epic :D

One of my favorite songs ever:
