Music Room *It's fully soundproofed*

Stupid MacRoban.

I've only just realised that Emmylou Harris' cover of "Diamonds are a Girl's Best Friend" uses Lou Reed's "Sweet Jane" as a template.

[citizenED]

A brief mention of The The in Alex James' autobiography about his time in Blur made me recall how much, for a while I adored them.

[Keef]

Neon Neon - Dream Cars

Lovin this tune at the moment!

[Jah Lush]

I just love the way Jeff Beck blows Old Slowhand away on this live cut of Bobby 'Blue' Bland's Further On Up The Road. This, if I remember correctly was taken from The Secret Policeman's Ball back in the early 80s.

[citizenED]

Just a little prompter for tonight.

Chikinki - Drink

hope the link works, never done an imeem before.

JL - thanks so much for posting this clip. I watched it and I was really enjoying it and then, at the end, this clip popped up. I was watching that clip and I suddenly realised that I was at this gig.... so long ago... but I was there.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FxFuxp1WyGY&feature=related

Early 80s, Albert Hall. Clapton, Beck, Jimmy Page, Andy Fairweather Low, Ray Cooper, Bill Wyman. Even Charles and Diana were there that night and it was in the days they were still speaking to each other (yes, that long ago).

Where do I sign? Where do I sign? Come on let's rid this egocentric megolomaniac tax evasive hypocrite Pope wannabe from our eyes and ears forever. Where do I bloody sign? I guess the NME is just not what you used to be is it? Where do I sign? Aaarrghh! Please Make Bono History.

[Jah Lush]

Now this reminds me of mad parties in my early 20s.

The B52s - Planet Claire

[giggirl]

Jah - nothing changes - this clip is from the B52s last Thursday night at the Roundhouse.

http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=eU0RntwwINU

My best boys came up from Brighton for the gig and we spent the night at the hotel in Camden Market (just as well, way to pissed to make it back to ED). I wore my brand new Manolo killer heels, sang along to everything (even the ones I didn't know the words to) and I haven't been able to get the smile off my face all week. What's not to like. High heels and a sing-along; I'm a simple girl at heart.

Oh, and I went to see the bootleg guy on Camden Market the following morning (after a very big coffee) and bought some great stuff.

Oh, and this

[Jah Lush]

Dammit I'm jealous now. And in your new Manolos too. Urgh!

"Planet Claire has pink hair

all the trees are red

no one ever dies there

no one has a head."

Brilliantly barmy.

Here's something else that is equally bonkers and great fun.

Devo - Peek-A-Boo

[Jah Lush]

Something or someone equally bonkers. My mate Malcolm doing the Star Wars theme on Kazoo and bongos. Enjoy.

Malcolm - Star Wars Kazoo solo

[louisiana]

Alucidnation - Ambushed

It's the second track listed on his MySpace page

And yes, the sample is Kate B.

[citizenED]

Jesus, am I ever stuck in the past! But, saw the haunting moon the other night and just thaought of this:

Echo and the Bunnymen -

[giggirl]

OASIS - the boys are in rehearsal for their new tour. If you want to go see them rehearse then email [email protected] and put "TICKETS LONDON OASIS" in the email header. I don't think anything else is needed but maybe include a mobile number. Next rehearsal date is 14th August.

You should also go to www.oasis.net and register there for tickets too.

[citizenED]

Something downbeat for the hell of it

Sparklehorse - Piano Fire featuring PJ Harvey, no less

[TillieTrotter]

Nice shout there Ed

[SeanMacGabhann]

2 good shouts in a row from Mr Ed

In a downbeat mood also but always gets me

[Jah Lush]

Which reminds me I haven't heard this in yonks.

Spacemen 3 - Hypnotized

[citizenED]

Thanks for the thumbs up, guys - to change the mood a little try this. Always loved it.

Aretha Franklin - Mockingbird

Dearest Sean, less of the Mr Ed. People might think I'm a horse!

[Moos]

sorry to be off topic, but that reminds me. I've heard lots of people refer to you as 'Citizen Ed' (pronounced as though it were short for Edward) but I had assumed that it was 'Citizen Eee Dee' (as in East Dulwich). Was I right, or does assumption make an ass out of you and umption? Can you settle the matter?

[SeanMacGabhann]

Even if the official verdict is "'Citizen Eee Dee' ", I say it doesn't scan and I'm sticking with abbreviated Edward. SO there..
