[Sofa Rider]

I like blues, rock, punk, jazz, fusion, pop, classical. I just love any style, any note, any voice...as long as I can relate to it.
I guess you can call this one ambient music. It's very beautiful and relaxing.

[Libertine Seguros]

Following on from the ambient-y theme, I present the ethereal, otherworldly Mirrorring.

But mostly recently I've been listening to Flipper, purveyors of some of the muddiest, dirtiest, filthiest riffs and sounds ever committed to bass.

Watched "Silver Linings Playbook" yesterday - pretty good movie, I really liked it! Though it's a pretty odd mix: football, mental illness, dancing... I see it is nominated for a bunch of Oscars, I hope it wins some. Although Lincoln is a done deal of course and I also root for Argo.

Anyhow, there was some pretty good music in "Silver Linings Playbook", including this song:

Bob Dylan & Johnny Cash - Girl from the North Country

I really like this song, and I had never heard this version. My first encounter with it, if one may say so, came through Simon and Garfunkel's "Scarborough Fair/Canticle". The line "remember me to one who lives there // she once was a true love of mine" originates in the song "Scarborough Fair", which was not originally written by Simon and Garfunkel. But I listened and still listen to a lot of Simon and Garfunkel and so that's how I came to know it.

Simon and Garfunkel - Scarborough Fair/Canticle (Live in Central Park)

My next encounter with the song came through Eels, and their live album "Eels with strings", which I consider one of the best recordings I have ever heard. E covers the song set to piano:

Eels - Girl from the North Country (live)

And I just found out through wikipedia that Eddie Vedder also covers it live sometimes:

Eddie Vedder - Girl from the North Country

Please feel free to listen to all of these, they are all extremely good

I'm pretty close-minded when it comes to music. I listen to reggae/dancehall and little else . I prefer the former to the latter, but dancehall's not without it's merits if you ever listen to artists like Burro Banton or Cutty Ranks.

This is a classic reggae song, Barrington Levy's "Too Experienced".

I love that one - the album was one of my 2012-favourites. Better than Jesy Fortinos Tiny Vipers stuff, and at least as good as what I've heard of Liz Harris' Grouper output. Speaking of the latter; have you heard the (sort of) new Grouper album? I haven't listened to it myself yet.

Anyway, right now I'm listening to Sera Cahoone's KEXP session from last Fall. Acoustic guitar, banjo and pedal steel - all good.

Flipper never get due appreciation. Probably as it should be.

I'm new to this forum (and bicycle riding as well), so perhaps I'm entirely missing the point of this thread.

Are you talking about the music you listen to while you are sharing the road with car drivers?

Music anytime, including on trainers. But for me it's all about music when not riding on the road. Personally, I like being able to hear the traffic. Especially on highways with rumble stips... you know, those grooves cut into the pave to wake the driver who has fallen asleep at the wheel on accident.

Nothing scarier or louder than a semi truck approaching from behind rolling along at 65 mph hitting a rumble strip. That's good for crappin bricks.
