Folk singer lists favourite iPod tunes
Irish singer-songwriter Fionn Regan today disclosed to the Metro newspaper the tunes he most likes to listen to on his iPod.
Along with the "beautifully captured" Leonard Cohen track Dress Rehearsal Rag, the unruly-haired folk singer notes songs by Woody Guthrie and Tom Waits among his iPod favourites.
While his "feet became bolted to the ground" when he first heard the voice of Woody Guthrie, Regan describes Anywhere I Lay My Head by Tom Waits as "simple and bare-chested".
Meanwhile, the folkster claims that the Noisettes' On the Bridge to Canada is "dynamite", adding that the energy needed for a Noisettes live gig warrants a day off work to recover.
The "spiky, crazy horse guitar" on Midlake's track Roscoe provides a backdrop for lyrics that remind Regan of conversations with his dad, while listening to Oliver Reed by the Phoenix Drive on his iPod makes him feel as though he is "in the company of something magic".
A new iPod was launched on Tuesday, with an 80 gigabyte capacity - holding 20,000 songs - while the new iPod nano stores up to eight gigabytes.
