I wasn't a Muse fan at all until I worked with them earlier this year and was therefore forced into watching their live show, before then I had definately thought they were over-rated and way too hyped, but literally as soon as they kicked in with Knights of Cydonia, their first track, I knew I was gonna have to swallow my pride and admit I might have been wrong, and I've been a huge fan since...I like all of their albums really, every single one for me has highlights and tracks I can take or leave, maybe thats because I got into them after all of them had been released, so never had that 'listen to death new album' sensation- In Rainbows has firmly placed itself right up there with my favourite Radiohead albums but I can't help but think that might be because its the first album of theirs I bought on day of release and got excited about.
Anyway, yeah, Muse...it's their live show that I thinks make them special, thats the only time they started to stand out as anything special to me, and then once I'd seen it, it brought their albums to life a bit more I would say.

In what capacity did you work with them BA, if you don't mind me asking? Muse are a great live band, but have yet to make an album that is consistently great. And don't you Soopafan me:  Ha. As for what I'm listening too, on the Bus down to Tottingham Court Road I has the new mini-album by The Mirimar Disaster on, then a bit of their first album. On the way back I listened to Until Your Heart Stops by Cave In. Most of this evening has been suffle, but I'm off to fall asleep to The Ghost Of Tom Joad by Bruce Springsteen. |

Wow, that sounds pretty cool! Was just being nosey really  So, right now I'm listening to Mogwais newest, which I've had for about a week and think is fantastic.

FRANK ZAPPA! It's funny listening to his back-catalogue and hearing all of the tunes that other artists totally ripped off of. Not that he wasn't ripping off of others all the time as well... but this guy made so much music that I didn't know was so influential, until just now. That's my point I guess - that I didn't know how influential he was.

Ólafur Arnalds.
It's all strings, pianos and the odd little glitchy beat. It's beautiful. Me and the missus saw him earlier in the year and it was stunning.

Everything ever made by the Beatles.
I forgot just how stunning some of those albums are.
Search online for the Dr. Ebbetts versions, they're absolutely incredible.
