"that harp chick"

I've been listening to Newsome for a while now but that tickled me

[woodie]

Am going through a huge Soft Machine phase at the moment.

ditto. you tubes great for really early glimpses. Ive got a fun story about one of them. The keyboard guy with the dark glasses Mike. I used to live a few doors down from him in Hackney. I could see over his garden from my bedsit. In that garden was just flat earth, no grass or beds or borders. Mud. In the very middle of that was one daffodil plant. He had a beaten up old porsche that was festooned inside with sheet music. Also a wife who wore the same kind of rectangular shades as he. Kind of kept his head down, but did well on the "Im a fan , like your music a lot".

It?s a lovely day today isn?t it?

What a wonderful world.

Now get out there and enjoy it.

[SeanMacGabhann]

Woke up, saw the sun and started singing this

XTC - Stupidly Happy

shame it's not an actual video - but ignore that and turn the volume up

[bon3yard]

I saw 'That Harp Chick' at The Greenman last year and fell in love, shes a real hotttie and that Kate Bush/Bjork falsetto just serves to make her hotterererer.

Here's a great collaboration, Dirty Three and Chan Marshall (aka Cat Power)

[david_carnell]

Having done the appropriatre "search box" check I can' believe no one has ever posted any Nick Drake. So, voila:

Some slices of Americana:

 

[mockney piers]

I know they're not to everyone's taste, but I can't get enough of these guys

The Fiery Furnaces - Duplexes of the Dead

[SeanMacGabhann]

That link says it's playing, but nowt coming out of the speakers MP (everything else plays fine)

After David_Carnell's recent "Ghost Town" acquisition, it put me in mind of

Let's Push Things Forward - Streets

[mockney piers]

Was a beautiful weekend, tis a beautiful day

Slowdive - Blue Skied an' clear

[david_carnell]

Mmm, indeed, summer....

I Monster - Daydream In Blue

[mockney piers]

It must be the lovely summery weather and the Spanish win, but I've totally been earwormed by/strolling and whistling annoyingly:

Rodrigo - Concierto de Aranjuez (paco de lucia)

[mockney piers]

[citizenED]

Thanks for the Nick Drake, DC

As it happens I posted a Drake song "Northern Sky" in a thread called "Songs that bring a tear" some time back. Obviously have to get onto that lazy Admin guy to get him to sharpen up his lazy-arse act with that search box thingummy.

[david_carnell]

You're welcome CitizenED. He's one of my faves.

As he's playing in town this week (although I'm sadly not going) I thought I'd have a bit of the King (no, the other King)....the King of Rock 'n' Soul!

Solomon Burke - Don't Give Up On Me

and also, for all you Wire fans the season three closing montage...

Solomon Burke - Fast Train

[mockney piers]

cheer it up chaps.

Here's a blast from my past (I think you may have been getting ready for junior school D_C)

bongo Acid

[david_carnell]

Enough of your cheek MP, or I'll tell Sir.

This week I have been mostly listening to

[SeanMacGabhann]

A song that has been on my mind lately. A lot.

Waiting on the ghost of Tom Joad - Bruce Springsteen

[Jah Lush]

Guitar!.... (Mick Green) fabulous riff and a top tune. Fecking classic!

Johnny Kidd & The Pirates - Shakin' All Over

[Jah Lush]

"Show you my explosion sweet 16." Indeed!

[Jah Lush]

This should blow any cobwebs away for those of you still suffering after a weekend of excess.

Motorhead - Ace Of Spades

"That's the way I like it baby I don't want to live forever."

[Brendan]

Now I just feel like drinking jack daniels and knocking things over.

[mockney piers]

Like a modern, canadian Serge and Brigitte, well not really.

The Dears - The Death of all Romance

[Jah Lush]

Looking through my old singles last night I discovered that some thieving swine has pinched my copy of this and I was dying to play it so here it is for your enjoyment too.

Sparks - Number One Song In Heaven
