Eyes open by Snow Patrol, their new one. Their last one was great but this one tops it by a huge amount! It has a song featuring Martha Wainwright, who herself is fantastic.

Mmmm... I dunno, I've got to the stage where I can listen to a car alarm and enjoy it... but I still think all these albums are fantastic.

What are the exceptions?

Sweet!

If I posted a list today, I'd probably have 50% of that list changed.

I bought a 320Gb hard drive the other week, and have spent any snatched free time copying all my music to it. And it's good to have it all here at my fingertips. Although some stuff hasn't copied, so I've got to go through it all again and find out what's what... sigh.

Current listening: Tricky & Sub Sub - Smoking Beagles. Wot a bass! Simple, yet effective.
