I don't think Ben has listened to this album, although I know Elliott loves it so he may well have done. If so Ben, then contact me on Facebook and I'll switch it to another one. Anyway Grace is one of my favourite albums ever and I think its safe to say that Buckley is the greatest vocalist I've ever heard. This album shows his broad skill in many different styles of music from blues, to rock, to...

I stole this from Australian Peter's blog. It's lovely. I don't know who the vocalist is here. It's from the movie Candy . Of course, I can't side with Candy's version of the song against the classic one my girl Liz Fraser put out (singing for This Mortal Coil) but this is very purty. Jeff Buckley was the genius who wrote the song. There's a version on YouTube of him singing it, paired up with a clip...

If you decide to listen to Jeff Buckley in the cab and start to cry, hopefully its raining so your doorman doesn't know the difference.

"I didn't just marry a beautiful woman, I married a record collection." - anti_tomwaits Me too. My wife's taste in music has had a HUGE impact on what I listen to regularly now. All the modern British bands, the Black Crowes, The Jayhawks, Dave Matthews, Kings of Leon, The White Stripes, and honestly, The Rolling Stones are new to me since meeting and marrying my wife. I wouldn't have gone...

The thread/question about naming your favourite team's 11 got me thinking, could I name all the gigs I've ever been to. My list is pretty much complete - 76 events over 30 years (so at 2 point something a year, I'm not a real gig pig), but one thing that stood out for me was that I would go back and see every single one of them again, with the possible exceptions of Madonna (rubbish) and Jeff Buckley...

Chart Blog (Free subscription) | 15/11/2009
I've always had James Morrison pegged as a slightly better version of James Blunt, but nonetheless, still the creator of the sort of music a guy plays to a girl when he's trying to seduce her, or that a girl plays when she's broken up with a/the aformentioned boy. In other words soppy music, for soppy people. (I pray that my aunty never reads this) But now he's got a new song out, and I've been asked...

some fortunate actor is going to have a chance to portray jeff buckley. maybe it will be Matthew Gray Gubler who seems refreshingly silly and self effacing in his documentary series.

After a three week hiatus, The Cheltenham Underground on friday provided another night of fresh and sparkling local talent. While the mid-autumn fireworks were popping in the darkness outside, inside Slaks, fireworks of a different kind were fireing up. The Coronettes were first out of the box with a fine and diverse collection of acoustic covers, including a delicate rendition of 'Enter Sandman' and...

Kelle Groom recently agreed to an interview with myself and 32 Poems . And here is what she had to say. How would you introduce yourself to a crowded room eager to hang on your every word? Are you just a poet, what else should people know about you? I also write personal essays/memoir. For the last year, I’ve been poetry editor for The Florida Review , and have now shifted into an advisory editor...
