Listen up!

Living up to the assertion made famous by Arnie... Here I am again.

Way back in the distant past (30th Dec 2010), I mentioned that I was a music fan so thought I'd pop back and flesh that statement out a little.

My music tastes are somewhat eclectic, although I'd describe most of my favourite artists as Punk. Now, when I say punk, I don't mean your 1977 style punk. I was only 4yrs old back then so most of the late 70's punk bands are lost on me.

Back to that eclectic thing. Just how eclectic are your music tastes I hear no-one ask. Well, one way to illustrate it would be to give a run down on what I've listened to today. In as close to the actual running order as I can recall, we've had:

On iTunes

• The Beatles, both the Revolver and Rubber Soul albums
• Heart, the Bad Animals album plus Barracuda (which I may have listened to 20 times in the last few days) and a few other tracks, mostly from the 1985 self titled album
• Nick Drake, the Five Leaves Left and Pink Moon albums
• Nine Inch Nails, most of the Pretty Hate Machine album
• The Misfits, Project 1950 (I skipped track 8 and didn't listen to 10) and Last Caress from the Static Age album
• The Hanson Brothers, most of the Gross Misconduct album (My Girlfriend's a Robot twice)

On the radio in the kitchen (the wife had it tuned to Absolute 80's)

• Culture Club, Church of the Poisoned Mind
• Kiss, Crazy Nights 

Back on iTunes

• Nik Kershaw, The Riddle (a hangover from hearing the 80's stuff in the kitchen)
• No Use For A Name, both the Feel Good Album of the Year and Hard Rock Bottom albums
• Cee Lo Green, F*ck You - from The Lady Killer
• Marlena Shaw - California Soul (as I type this)

Eclectic enough for you? 

Anyway, I'm off to listen to a bit of Deep Purple, think I'll go for Fireball!

Laters...

P.S. I neglected to mention that this was while I spent 5hrs fixing the cluster f*ck that was my father-in-law's PC...
