What music are you listening to?

Listening to this at the moment. Pink Pony Club by Chappell Roan. I ordered the vinyl single version of this in limited edition pink from eBay because I like it so much. Now I just need to buy a record player!

Tay Tay's done some amazing songs in her career. Are you looking forward to her new album? It's coming out in October I think. What's your favourite song she's done?

When I was at school I was in her a band with 3 other girls. We called ourselves BAM (it was our first name initials) and we weren't bad but we weren't the best either we performed a few times at school, and a couple of times at the local Waitrose where we did some fundraising for Macmillan as my Gran was suffering with cancer and we wanted to raise money and awareness.

In our final year of school we performed during the schools Xmas show, we sang when a child is born which went down well. And then during the school leavers assembly we performed Enchanted by Tay Tay! Probably my favourite song I've ever sang in front of other people. As it was the final day I really gave it my all like proper put my heart and soul into it and it was amazing such a special time.

That single moment was my favourite part of school. And enchanted has gone on to become my favourite Taylor Swift song.

Pretty much just pop punk and mostly Taylor swift obviously 

Nice song. I like instrumental post rock and quite specifically GY!BE. Classical mostly Bach for me, especially Cello suites

My classical music tastes tend to revolve around either piano pieces or mezzo-soprano voices.

On the classical music side of things, I keep being drawn back to Glenn Gould's 1981 piano recording of Bach's Goldberg Variations. Gould (Canadian, 1932–1982) was likely Autistic and he is really, really into his Bach. I adore the way you can hear him humming along as he plays. It always brings a smile to my face (though, apparently the sound engineers weren't smiling and just wanted him to shut the hell up).

Classical music was one of my special interests for a few years either side of the millennium. I would research and collect CDs and listen for a few hours every day. I don't so much now, but I did learn to appreciate the music quite deeply and I'll never lose that, which is nice.

Georg Solti's recording of Schubert's 9th symphony with the VPO was probably my "Aha!" moment. I finally grasped the whole "emotional communication" thing and heard everything else differently after that.

Happy days...

I've seen Endeavour but I didn't know about Lewis so thanks for that I'll see if it's in ITV to watch. I actually watched Endeavour first and that's how I found out about Inspector Morse. I wasn't interested in Morse then at first, I didn't think it would be any good but it's quickly becoming a favourite series for me. 

I knew about the morse code thing but I've no idea how to do that lmao so I always have to wait until the end for the killers to be revealed

The composer of the Morse TV theme song (Barrington Pheloung - Australian-born composer based in the UK), I believe also wrote the music for the follow-up TV series "Lewis" and prequel "Endeavour".  If those two series are new to you - you might enjoy those too.

Spoiler alert (if you know morse code): Pheloung incorporated Morse code into the Morse TV series theme tune (also occasionally spelling out a killer's name / clue in the music using Morse Code.
