7th February 2013: Red Rubber Ball, The Cyrkle

I heard Red Rubber Ball on radio 2 one night. I looked it up and found out it was written by Paul Simon. I had the album for a while, and found the track "There's a fire in the fireplace" the funniest one.

6th February 2013 : Breaking Glass, Hazel O'Conor

I saw this film when I was twelve or thirteen, and five years later noticed the album on sale in an HMV.

With a wonderful tagline too: The Experience is... SHATTERING.

Stephen Tharp plays Bach Goldberg Variation played on a pipe organ
"The fourth and final volume of Johann Sebastian Bach’s Clavierübung keyboard cycle, his Goldberg Variations are considered the most important work in this form from the Baroque era. 30 variations over a ground-bass, originally composed for harpsichord, are adapted here for solo organ by Stephen Tharp. Widely-respected for his interpretations of Romantic and 20th century repertoire, Stephen Tharp performs here with a stylistic sensitivity to the music at hand. While utilizing the full color palette of Paul Fritts’ magnum opus at St. Joseph’s Cathedral in Columbus, Ohio, this arrangement, while imaginative and virtuosic, remains faithful to the period aesthetic in which the music was originally conceived."

2nd February 2013: Rabih Abou Khalil

When I lived in Liège, I would pick up returned CDs in the Médiathèque, one of the best Médiathèques I've experienced, the Médiathèque Les Chiroux.
One of these CDs was Journey to the Centre of an Egg only one track of which is on Grooveshark (Shrewd Woman). I've made a playlist of everything except Blue Camel (I'm not too keen on the saxophone).
