Pulp - Sunrise

Heard it when it was quietly championed on XFM a long time back one morning after an all night file munching session, funnily enough just as the sun was indeed rising. A great song, so good in fact it even got me listening to music in English again for a few months.

Whatever happened to fun bands like these eh?


Pink Lady - UFO

Think this may have been performed on their show they had in the USA. A group which enjoyed enormous popularity to the detriment of their health, their songs can be found at pretty much any karaoke-box in Japan worth its salt and have been covered countless times and are often performed on musical impersonation shows to this day. If you understand the language, the lyrics to this song are as really funny and its a timeless classic really.

Nice selections Mockney and Jah.


I loved Cat Powers' version of Wild is the Wind. It was also done by David Bowie and Nina Simone (with whom I share a birthday).


In one of Feist's videos was fellow Canadian hiphop artist Buck 65 (aka Richard Terfry). He sounds like Tom Waits rapping over mellow hiphop beats. His song

is a great cut from his album Talkin' Honky Blues.

and have to push these every now and then


"hey you get some grace you're like kentucky fried chicken but without the taste

hey you get some grace you know you're driving miss daisy all over the place

hey you get some grace you're a fucking disappointment to the human race"


Fight Like Apes

The greatest music video in the multiiverse, of all time:

This "tribute" act get bandied around every now and again. Unlike many Japanese tribute bands, these guys did it for fun. The lyrics are a hilarious interpretation - the basic meaning is pretty much the same, but the choice of words to convey them, along with the enunciation is incredibly funny. Even if you cannot understand a word of it, I'm quite confident at least some of the humour, love of the originals and the cheekiness of the performance will shine through :)) So in essence, its a performance to laugh with, rather than at. Shame I couldn't find a live performance.

Junko - Winner of tons of Jamaican dance hall competitions, speaks with a Jamaican accent these days...

She's pretty famous "back home" these days, as dance hall has a pretty big and fervent following.

    • You'd need to get a proper quote (or three) for instance removing a cast iron bath is a very different job from removing an acrylic one. Again what pipe work will be being joined into - matching old imperial pipes with modern metric ones is different from like to like, as is dealing with a copper or an iron distribution system. The amount (area) of retiling required is an issue, as will be the state of the wall behind the tiles. It may of course all be very plain sailing, or not. Have a first look at plumber recommendations on the relevant pages on this site. If it's all easy then 3 days work may be sufficient. But it could be a week if there are snags. 
    • Hi. Can anyone suggest a plumber for the job below? Replace bath tub with a shower enclosure, putting pipes to showerhead behind wall, re-titling damaged/removed tiles Also any idea of the costs involved for the labour as we will buy the items required?
    • Aria came round to fix my tub drain when I'd messed up the seal. Came within hours, fixed the tub, and ran a bath to make sure it was okay. Here's where the fun starts. While he was over, I asked him questions about the rest of the plumbing round the house. I had just moved into a Victorian home that was previously being rented. Unsurprisingly, we found another leak in the tub and a drip in the kitchen tap.  He came back the next day to put a better pipe in my bathtub and replace the kitchen sink. Painstakingly figured out how to replace the hard-to-access kitchen sink without cutting through the wood panel with the help of his builder friend, Mark. Answered all my questions and clearly knew his stuff. All this right before Christmas holidays!
