Velvet Underground, lightly chilled for a cold Sunday evening.

I do love this band, so one more before I have to nip out into the freezing cold and get me some cigarettes.

I'll Be Your Mirror

[Jah Lush]

This lot are playing the 02 this week so here's a taster for anyone lucky enough to have a ticket.

Led Zepplin - Black Dog

[Keef]

For a horrible second I thought you were going to put The Verve on here as they're playing the O2 this week too.

[Jah Lush]

Simply one of the best break-up songs ever. Gets me every time.

[Jah Lush]

I had to post this as I've had the tune in my head all day especially the lyric:-

"I've been up all night again

party time wasting it's so much fun".

And I haven't heard it in years and I've lost my copy of the album and it's a bloody great song.

Roxy Music - Mother Of Pearl

[mockney piers]

dans le sac vs scroobius pip offering a free download of "Message from God to Man", good stuff.

"It was You that invented bombs, and the fear that comes with them

And it was You that invented money, and the corrupt economic systems

You invented terms like just-war and terms like friendly fire

And it was You that didn?t know when to stop digging deeper, when to stop building higher

It was You that exhausted the resources I carefully laid out on this earth,

And it was You that even saw these problems coming but accredited them little worth

It was You that used my teachings for your own personal gain

And it was You that committed such tragedies, even though they were in my name"

[Incitatus]

Nice one mockney, Mr le sac has proved a forum fave over the year.

Try this One More Grain - Having A Ball

[Jah Lush]

It's Keith Richards 64th birthday today and seeing as he is a national treasure and a hero of mine I felt the need to put this up. This isn't what you'd normally hear from him, just Keith and an old piano, doing some nice Hoagy Carmichael with cool pictures too.

Happy Birthday Keith.

The Nearness Of You/Sing Me Back Home

[Jah Lush]

Another rarity from Keith live at the Kilburn State long before he got his Hampsteads fixed.

Be Sure The One You Need

[SeanMacGabhann]

Jah - good stuff. I've just had a search for

"You don't move me" from one of his solo albums but can't find it anywhere - love that track tho (Keef/I've met Jimmy - hint hint)

[Jah Lush]

God I'm bored today...I know let's put The Faces on, that'll cheer me up. Never fails.

I Know I'm Losing You

[lozzyloz]

Drum Roll for Jah's 2001th post

[Jah Lush]

Oh! Cheers Lozzyloz, you're all heart. One-handed drum roll for you.

What's the other hand doing though?

[SeanMacGabhann]

Wish I could get the full version somewhere online, but my favourite Christmas Song

A Change At Christmas - Flaming Lips

[Jah Lush]

I love this song and I love Polly Jean. She's beautiful and so awesomely talented.

More mellow music, and an appropriate title for how I felt yesterday.

?-Ziq - The Fear

[Jah Lush]

Mash it up wid a reggae riddim!

Burning Spear

[woodie]

I was thinking today about how gerry and sylvia Anderson are so well known for the imagery and marionettes of thunderbirds et all.

There was a ting on about them on bbc4 this evening. Yet again nobody makes mention of how brilliant the soundtracks were.Sure theres some cheese in there but also some very cool experimentation, to really set the scene. A mr Barry Gray.Did it all. Much of this was pre synthesizer and is spine tingling at times.

Without doubt the 60's dr who soundtracks where the best thing ever,such a miss hit with the modern day dr who's.

check Delia in action, the lady who made that theme tune happen back in the day. oh, whatdoyaknow. video unavailable..

Delia Derbyshire. A hero. Ron Grainer wrote it, just the melody. She assembled the whole thing out of tape loops. Early doctor who's soundtrackwise, are works of art. Most bbc radiophonic wworkshop audio was. But, check captain scarlet also for great instremental moments of tension.

Oh and the use of bongoes also. Thunderbirds bongoes are really funny. They really work. Totally ripped off in James bond movies, if you ask me.my 10p.

[Shu.Kurimu.Sensei]

The beeb broadcast a documentary about the Radiophonic Workshop sometime last year, should be easy enough to rustle up on your p2p app of choice, or failing that http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=OIkgYiSIfQE has some clips, at some point the show showed exactly how they made up the Dr Who theme amongst others.

[woodie]

yes its was quite awesome and will no doubt be repeated. you tube seems to have censored all the clips that were up. I did a wee search. http://www.audiomastermind.us/2005/12/03/alchemists-of-sound-1-hour-video/ The bit i was going to put up here, is where she demonstrates how to make a rythmn with a few tape recorders and tape loops.

Its gobsmacking. She matter of factly just..does it as shes talking. yet its pure skill that only someone who does it daily can be so accurate with.

Alchemists of Sound is the docu to watch.

howdy Shu.
