What are you listening to today?

not really ventured onto the wandering minds section of the forum and thought i would ask what people are listneing to music wise at the moment and what they are liking or not!

At the moment i am listneing to Explosions in the sky. Featured very heavily in the Friday Night Lights series on sky alantic. Instrumental and very relaxing.

My missus told me a few weeks ago i am getting to the age now where haircuts, fashion music taste and eveything else just seems to stay the same so i am trying to broaden my horizons!

i think she just gets pissed off with me playing pulp common people all the time which i only really do to annoy her

Just ordered Dido's new album,
Listening to The Idle Race (Jeff Lynne pre ELO) And Brian Wilsons 'Lucky old Sun'

you should give sigur ros a listen, went to see them at the Apollo on Sunday, they were fantastic.

Love Pulp as well by the way, i was listening to Babies yesterday, my favourite song of theirs

This morning I was listening to New Mic Order by Taskforce. What a belter.

I love sigur ros, and pulp.

At the moment i am pretty much listening to the following;

Iron and Wine, Sigur Ros, Explosions in the Sky, Jose Gonzales, Willy Mason.

Iron and wine have been around for years but again i heard them on that friday night lights programme and a song they had on there called "upward over the mountain" is a great tune.

Oh and Scott Matthews. He has done some really good covers (but he is from wolverhampton which let's him down a little!)

Armand Van Helden just remind me of Friday and Saturday nights in Ikon! Not a good memory!

I just love that tune.

I couldn't name you another track.

TBF i've never heard it so i will give it a listen later, the only other one i know is "you don't even know me"

If you're looking for ambient stuff i would check out Boards of Canada.

This is pretty cool too.

Hip-hop. I only listen to UK hip-hop from between the years 1987-1999.

Nat, See i like quite a lot of hip hop stuff but never really listened to retro uk stuff, will deffo give it a listen.

Hipster, will give that a listen too, think i am going to have a busy night tonight!

*Massive Attack - Blue Lines. Possibly my favourite album track of all time.
*James - Destiny Calling. Not a big James listener but they've made several gems in their time.
*The Primitives - Crash. Love this track from Dumb and Dumber which I watched the other night.
*Todd Rundgren - Can We Still Be Friends? See above.

Boards of Canada are a bit boring IMO. Ambient stuff I'm listening to William Orbit's "Strange Cargo" album which has some good tunes - also still like Water from a Vine Leaf which he did with Beth Orton years ago.
Mainly listening to my personal mixes at the moment, although I tend to jump into different genres when the mood takes me. For god knows what reason, I was listening to Spandau Ballet's Chant No 1 (Don't need this pressure on) at full volume before the match last night! Random.

suppose it depends on how ambient you like your ambient.

DNTEL is another act i'd recommend.

I have never heard of any of the music mentioned in this thread.

Long shot kick the bucket by the Pioneers got me out of bed this morning.

Was enjoying triviums ascendency album on the drive home
