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.

    • 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.   
    • @NewWave I know how you feel. Like you, I've lived and spent prolonged periods of time in some pretty crazy places and always thought I could handle a bunch of kids. But, no - they got to me and I was shaking like a leaf afterwards. That's what age does to us.  But I did engage with them, so bear that in mind.  My advice would be to never let anything like that stop you doing the things you love. I'm certainly not going to stop using the park, there's no way they get to take away our cherished spaces!  If you see them, just change tack and keep out of their way. My dog won't even go that way again, so that's that problem solved. (If I see them again, I'm going to keep taking photos from a safe distance).
