Seems like Alice was only in the audience. Michael Kiwanuka was amazing though:

Here is something for early on a Sunday morning, destress yourself after a hectic week :

Soloman playing Bach's Wachet Auf

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nnGbzrH5NWs

peaceful, sublime, measured

Anyone that thinks Atheists don't have any songs needs to search for Tim Minchin on YouTube - particularly, and on-topic, 'White Wine in the Sun'...

Scara.... we don't mind (at least I don't mind) if you hog this thread - you post some good links - love Anchorsong, an interesting instrumental mix and a great sound.

I was travelling with my daughter the other day and we were listening to the Brandon Flowers 'Flamingo' album.

What do you (or anyone) think of Flowers as a solo artist?

This intro is good....

Love the humility expressed in this song.....

And this is a little more uplifting.....

Yes, Soloman's playing here shows unhurried dignity and gravitas, in contrast to so many modern pianists who seem to feel pressured to play everything at breakneck speed, as if displaying technical brilliance is more important than sensitivity and depth of musicianship.

Funnily enough I'm in a bit of a reggae/dancehall/dub mood today - must be the terrible weather

. Starting out with Mungo's Hi Fi, who've probably got plenty of skins to spare.

I was in Barcelona for a weekend about 23 years ago and had the good fortune to turn up in the middle of a music festival, Chuck Berry was the closing act, one of the best gigs I've ever been to.

This is my favourite song of his, it was in American Grafitti

Chuck Berry - Almost Grown

The one I went to was at the old Olympic stadium, built in 1929 but they didn't actually get the Olympics, at the end of the Merce festival in September there's a procession of fire breathing dragons around the old town then everyone goes up the hill for the closing show, I got lucky and saw Chuck, the poor buggers a year later got Phil Collins.

Ah I think then we are slightly off the Grec is in the Greek theatre and end of July - maybe Chuck played both - what a great city it is
