Old classics, here you go fear

[mockney piers]

Juana Molina - Tres Cosas

[Fear 'n boozin]

I had an ear worm in Too Shy, but luckily, somebody sent me this - The Chap from The Goonies

[Incitatus]

This reminds me of dancing in fields in the home counties in the early 90s.

Robyn - With Every Heartbeat

Robyn has teamed up with the guy behind fellow Stockholmers Teddybears. The video is also made by Swedish directors Stylewar.

[mockney piers]

Clearly you were in classier fields than I. (did you follow the orange duck?)

Mine were more likely to play

Liquid - Sweet Harmony

or

Chimo Bayo - As? Me Gusta a M?

[SeanMacGabhann]

It's monday morning, feeling a little melancholy.

I just felt like listening to this.

No tune on earth can transport me back to my childhood like this one, travelling great distances across a dry and dusty spain in a cramped Fiat 127, long before Spain had things like motorways.

*sighs*

Los Indios Tabajaras - Maria Elena

apologies for the naff slideshow, but it is youtube innit.

[SeanMacGabhann]

That was genuinely lovely, MP...

Change of pace however as I still find this amusing

The Irony Of It All

[mockney piers]

"I've just completed gran turismo on the hardest setting"

great stuff, haven't heard it for ages. As soon as this started I had a proustian memory moment, though in my case instead of my lost childhood I mostly remembered playing Serious Sam and drinking too much at the CPT!!

[SeanMacGabhann]

How times change eh?

Oh wait....

[Fear 'n boozin]

[mockney piers]

Aaah, the Bordello

This is the first morning I've not needed to wear a jacket (not a purple one) for ages, sooooo

My Morning Jacket - Wordless Chorus

[mockney piers]

Perhaps a little too downbeat for a first dance, but it'd be very me if I did.

The National - Sons and Daughters of the SoHo Riots

[mockney piers]

Snoop dogg doing Riders on the Storm

Quite funky as it goes.

[SeanMacGabhann]

linking 2 threads at once - like it

can't remember if this has been posted before but... happy clappy

[david_carnell]

Following on from the funeral song thread may I present as a first time Music Room poster, Bonnie Prince Billy (Will Oldham) with

. Truely haunting.

[SeanMacGabhann]

you may, you should, and you are correct Mr Carnell

[mockney piers]

And as first posts go!! Hats off to you Mr Carnell.

[david_carnell]

*blushes*

Blimey, thanks.

I'll do two more then and try to continue. Firstly something equally haunting. Nick Drake's River Man.

Next, something a bit more uptempo and modern: Ryan Adams with Come Pick Me Up live on the Letterman Show.

Mockney, was it you who mentioned Pink Martini?, (the band that is, not the drink, but then...) If you are interested, noticed that they are playing at the Hammersmith Apollo Sat 10th Nov www.comono.co.uk

[mockney piers]

I think it was Spadetownboy who recommended it, but cheers. Could do with a martini about now!

nice one DC. I got Rachel Unthank and the Winterset not so long ago, and they do a fantastic cover of River Man, worth checking out.

PM me your email if you want an MP3 of it, strictly for evaluation purposes of course ;)

[david_carnell]

Cheers Mockney. Whilst I like my melancholy singer-songwriters, if pressed, my real love is soul.

Memphis, Detroit, Chicago, Miami, Northern.....all types. I would now like to brag about seeing this man in a marquee at the Cambridge Fringe Festival last year. There were nearly more band members on stage than audience members. Everyone was within 10ft of the stage and it was, without doubt, the finest musical night of my young life.

EDF, I give the King of Rock and Soul.

Don't Give Up on Me

Down in the Valley

[mockney piers]

Nice laid back tune, pretty little thing too

B?a - Duvet

[mockney piers]

This just came up on shuffle play, one of the best covers around.

Futureheads - Hounds of Love

bad quality takes away some of the impact sadly.

[mockney piers]

Is it just me or does the little organ chorus exactly like the forest people (or is it the gerudo village) music in the zelda games?

The Monkees - A Little Bit Me or a Little Bit You
