    Composer of the Week on BBC Radio 3 - Ralph Vaughan Williams. Bliss.

    Fantasia on a Theme by Thomas Tallis is the best piece of music ever bar none, just ahead of Tallis's Spem in Alium. My Dying Bride has to settle for third place with Symphonaire Infernus et Spera Empyrium.

    In my opinion anyway!
    Bizarrely, I discovered the Thomas Tallis piece on The Fast Show, when Ted the Gardeners' wife (Mrs Ted) died and they had a funeral. It was a strange moment in a comedy show, but the music just blew me away. It turned up again on the film, Master and Commander, but no where could I find out just what it was or who wrote it, until last autumn, I mentioned it to my sister, she knew the film and the show, and named it instantly. i own it, and play it, but despite it's magnificence, theres a melancholy to it that means I have to be in a fairly okay mood to listen.

    And to bring the tone straight back down, I've been listening to A Real Mother For Ya by Johnny 'Guitar' Watson. He sings about going to the disco and powdered milk and stuff.

    Not only funny, but very well written songs.

    Beautiful song of longing, ambivalence and disdain - give it a try.

    Played the vaughan Williams piece this morning, but it's match day so I had a German rock session at lunchtime. Rammstein playing Seeman, and the Toten Hosen with Tage Wie Diese. love the video for the Toten Hosen track, and I'm hoping to post it on this site the day RD, KM and the rest of the muppets do one! (For non German speakers, Tage wie diese translates as 'days like these', and it's a happy song).

    I saw Toten Hosen years ago when I worked in Frankfurt, terrific gig

    Me uncle reckons he see Don Estelle up Bexleyheath Shopping precinct years ago, busking. Not sure if hhe did or didn't, but either way, I've been listening to this timeless classic today while I've been making the chicken maternity ward

    A bit late responding to this but just thought I'd add that I also witnessed Don Estelle singing in the Broadway shopping mall. It must have been more than twenty years ago because I haven't spent much time in Bexleyheath since 1996. I read at the time that he was doing a mall tour to promote a CD, which was not an uncommon thing to do in those days. I remember, for instance, a boy band called Let Loose appearing in the Broadway mall circa 1994. They had a big hit (Crazy For You) around then .

    In keeping with the purpose of this thread, I have today been listening to David Bowie's album "Live Nassau Coliseum '76" at a volume far too high for my wife's delicate ears.

    Just finished watching Vinyl. HBO series. mick jagger and Scorsese are producers. micks son jack stars in it.
    pretty average show but loads of good music. most of which comes from the 70s.

    this is a new song but it epitomises 70s disco. I don't even like disco that much but I cant fault this track.

    Two stunningly beautiful videos by Pogo amazingly choreographed and sampled to the most lovely trance.

    I was working as a pavement artist at the start of the nineties, and bumped into Don Estelle a couple of times- Bexleyheath shopping centre was one, as I was there often.

    To get back on topic, Kate Bush today.

    Excellent @SDAddick. Been a fan for years and this one doesn't disappoint!
    Absolutely love it. Seeing them twice in three days at the end of the month. Them and their mates The Twilight Sad are over here at the same time, along with Idlewild doing their first California tour for years. Five gigs in six days, can't wait.
