What are you listening to right now?

Listening to this... indie I suppose.

I am completely sober and working listening to this but I imagine if someone were partial to something like weed or what not and listened to this it would be quite a trip... might listen again at the weekend after a couple of drinks...

No more hero's would be my no 1. I even did a cover of it many, many years ago. I was always partial to their album Rattus as well.

I really like this.  Sort of Sparks meets Queen with a bit of Pantera mixed in.

And some wild guitar playing.

And a smattering of Cinematic.

Ok, who confesses?

Whenever I listen to this... I always have to listen more than once...

I get transfixed

Ditto that. One of my all time favourites. Jeff Beck's guitar alone is enough to put this way up on the list of possible desert island records.

My daughter is really into Melanie Martinez. This song jumped out. I love the weird chord progression, and how the guitar tone slowly morphs from an acoustic tone at the beginning, and into vibrato madness near the end.

I don't always pimp my blog here, but here is a sketch sort of inspired by that music video:
'Snails for Liberty' is Born (Sketch) - Half-Hearted Fanatic

Remember my friend Paul, from the song "Rex and Paul," the friend I lost contact with for 50 years, and a bump from StephenM prompted me to track him down? We chat regularly on WhatsApp now. He sent me this.
