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.

    • Highly recommend Dulwich Eco Gardening.  When he came to quote Saied said he’d give our garden back so we could decide what we do next.  Under two weeks of hard work from Saied and Mo and we have the garden back and can see paving I’d forgotten about. Not only did Saied remove our very overgrown greenery. Nature had taken over. He also took back to our fence line overgrown ivy, apple and pear trees and and dealt with a neighbours bamboo that had invaded our garden.  We are now going to get quotes for what we do next so those quoting will be able to see the space.  Saied has suggested someone to quote and will be coming back when he does in case he has any questions or they can work together.  I thought Saied would be a good choice and he was. Quotes from others didn’t leave me with confidence for the end result. That was never a concern with Saied.
    • Having a BBQ (fingers crossed) in 2 weeks and need a small BBQ for veggie bits and any spare benches or garden tables and chairs to borrow to add to mine. Any going? Thanks in advance...
    • Oh dear, hope you are OK, I've had it three times and it was worse each time, but not a patch on many of those who got it before they vac' role out. Not commenting on the discussion as I got confused many days ago beyond the reminder that Corbyn would not compromise and the harm that could lead to him, the party and regards Brexit pre and post referendum the country.  Starmer goes too far the other way at times.  
    • I am  ill in bed with Covid. It's not that I "can't be bothered" to read things. I am feeling crap and don't have the mental  energy at the moment. I am not "brushing stuff aside and pleading ignorance." I am truthfully saying when I don't presently know enough about something to be able to comment. I have always been very careful to try to  differentiate between fact and opinion in both  my posts and other people's, and I am not clear what your point is. And I am certainly not trying to wind anybody up. This is a forum. If you don't want to respond to my posts, that's up to you. I'm not sure why you feel the need to announce it.
