What are you listening to?

Funny, I put on Canon last night as I got into bed. I always listen to music before I sleep but classical is rarely my first choice. I made a note to do so more often.

Sharing for no other reason that I like this oldie



Syreeta, with backing vocals by Stevie Wonder.

I still remember the first time I heard this, watching fascinated as the fabric cover in front of the loudspeaker on the old valve radio blew in and out as it did its best to reproduce sounds that were probably undreamed of when it was built.

I was reminded of this after seeing Ding Junhui knock his head against the table after a poor shot.

I think this song (though not this particular recording) was the next track on a compilation album I used to have.*



On the strength of this, I went to see Talking Heads live - when they were supported by some obscure band called Dire Straits - the latter never quite appealed to me, to this day I like music with more rough edges, almost regardless of genre.

*Actually this was the next track, a band I never got to see:

Cool track, and appropriate to this forum, I reckon:

Robbie Robertson - The Lights

There was something strange / In the sky tonight / I was left standing / With three moons shining
