I have to spend four hours every day at a job where I can wear a discman every moment. Lately I've been listening to the bluegrass band Daybreak (First Light), a Scots/Celt band Calasaig (Near and Far), Nancy Kerr & James Fagan (Between the Dark and Light), various Simon Mayor discs, Pierre Schryer & Ian Clark (Heat of the Moment), Handel (Water Music), misc Bach pipe organ music, and a wonderful new disc called Fresh Canadian Fiddle Tunes composed by Brian Pickell and played by several fiddlers and others.

There'll likely be a selection of blues soon in my rucksack which accompanies me to work. I like alot of the Alligator Records stuff.

Another four hours of my day are taken up listening to music students strut their stuff. Sometimes this is taxing, sometimes a gift, but always rewarding.

As I write this I'm listening to CBC news story, soon to be replaced by...oh I don't know...maybe Led Zeppelin...

Peace, Mooh.

Kelly Joe Phelps, Fred Eaglesmith "Ralph's Last Show", the Be Good Tanyas. The Tanyas are a likeable trio of B.C. women who met in a tree-planting camp and play a mix of N American Trad and original material, with real nice harmonies and relaxed (plunking, not showing off) acoustic instrumentation.

Having fairly recently acquired a car CD, I'm working my way alphbetically through my collection as I drive to Leeds three days a week. This week I have just reached N,O&P and have played New Lost City Ramblers, Roy Orbison, Tom Paxton and Elvis Preseley.

Jim It'll be a while before I reach Warren Zevon but I'm looking forward to that.

Flook, Michael McGoldrick-Fused, La Bottine Souriante and Pink Martini - a fantastic French eclectic band. Always played , Dan Hicks and anything by David Grisman. If you are on the Gnutella network(Through Limewire) there are some brilliant bluegrass tunes.

Boat Band, Sorcha Dorcha, Steve Rich's gorgeous "Porchlight Blues", Fleetwood Mac (the old blues band - not the Californian pop group!), the Kinks, Pete Morton's "Hunting the Heart" - the only album full of songs on religious themes I have ever liked - Tenpenny Bit's "Paddy Works on the Railway", Mississippi John Hurt, and "Revolver" by the Beatles - still probably the most revolutionary album I have ever heard.

Just burned a 20 song CD of old black gospel quartet stuff. The Five Blind Boys, Swan Silvertones, Highway QC's, Pilgrim Travellers. The other thing I've been listening to recently is a tape I put together titled All Seriousness Aside with tracks like Mickey's Son & Daughter by the Bonzo Dog Band, The Hole In The Elephant's Bottom by the Buskers, At Sundown by Harry Reser's Cliquot Club Eskimos and I Am An Apeman "live" by the Kinks. All beautiful stuff... :-)

My car stereo has a taped book of Beowulf in it, which alternates with a well-worn tape collection of eclectic folky items from a friend whose taste I enjoy. Between those, it's NPR or the Classics station.

The best of Van Morrison, volume 2 and Dire Straits, the albums Dire Straits and Sultans of Swing, records I've borrowed from the library today. I'm there every week and borrow "new" records. It's a great way to listen to music I haven't heard so much (or not at all) or old favorites I never bought.

Just now I'm listning to Evening Meditation with Van Morrison, very convenient (was that the right word?) for me as it's soon bedtime here in Sweden.

Since I fortuitously discovered Spinner Radio (soon to be Netscape Radio) on the Net I rarely play CD's (which is good, since my CD money seems to go to paying for silly things like food and electricity nowadays). Mostly I keep it on the Celtic channel, but hit the bluegrass, new acoustic, acoustic blues, jam bands and even reggae and rockabilly channels upon occasion.

Hah, Little Willie John. Nice choice, RtS. I'm actually named after him... :)

I haven't been listening to a whole lot of recorded music, lately. Mostly Nordic folk, when I have, but (since the Nordic Roots Festival was just last week) mostly in my head, not so much on recordings. I find it difficult to listen to a bands studio-recorded music when I've just seen them live.

Oh, I've also been listening to a great Anouar Brahem Trio cd (Astrakan Cafe) I bought at their show last week, which was also great. I've had no problem listening to this cd, even though I saw them live. Weird.

Except for major event coverage, I haven't listened to the radio in 20 years. Because of the convenience, my pc is the source of most of my music today. A German group called Tango 5 is on right now. Lots of tango and flamenco this month.

We haven't done one of these threads for some time. What is currently on your hi-fi or car stereo?
Mine is: Sonny Black and the Dukes Heart and Soul, Little Willie John Best of... and There is no Eye (Smithsonian Folkways).
The first because I've heard them a lot at my blues club recently, the second because his tunes keep cropping up in people's sets and the third because of recommendations here at the Mudcat.
So...what is your current listening?
