We have the music room where people post there latest finds/rememberances but amongst all of the many postings, editorial and context is lost. Which then reminded me of the lost art of mix-tapes


How about people pull together 10 different youtube song clips and list them with any liner notes you fancy adding yourself. Why each song deserves a place in your 10 picks, what it meant at the time etc


No other rules - no limit on how many from same artist, or length of song - just pick 10


(I'm cheating slightly by not picking 10 as I'm at work but will come back and do this later)

Ok, here we go for the first time. I've gone for country duets. An unusual choice but there are some great tunes in here (honest).




Johnny Cash and June Carter - Jackson


Gram Parsons and Emmylou Harris - Return of the grevious angel


Robert Plant and Alison Krauss - Stick with me baby


Roy Orbison & kd lang - Crying








Conway Twitty and Loretta Lynn - You're the reason our kids are ugly


Some are romantic, some sad and the last track is very funny, but I love all of 'em.

Cant get on to you tube here (my firewall blocks it) but am looking forward to seeing the lists that come in! :))


@DC - Islands in the stream - total Classic! I was raised on Kenny Rogers and Simon and Garfunkle - know almost all the words to the Gambler! *rolls eyes* I personally would have thrown in a bit of Rick Astley, possibly even Bros (both of which were massive in Australia when I was a kid)

Random songs belong in the music thread ladeeez n' gentleman (and a fine place it is too ) but this here place is for compilations (and praise/criticism thereof) only


Congratulations are in order to Mr Carnell ( I so wish his first name was Darnell) for standing up and being not only the first, but a very nicely chosen set.

lozzylozz - a good soulboy/girl set! I'd add


Cyanide - Brother on the Slide

Bootsey Collins - I'd rather be with you

Roy Ayers - Running away

Lonnie Liston Smith- Expansions

Willi Bobo - Always There

Jean Carn - Was that all it was

Azymuth - Jazz Carnival

Brothers Johnson - Starwberry Letter 13(?)

Funkadelic - Freak of the Week

Commodores - Sanctified

David Sylvian - September


A tiny, tiny song. A little thing... barely a minute. But it makes me happy to be alive



Holly Palmer



This is just beautiful. I first heard it when she played support to some

shower at the 100 club on Oxford St - It was just her, an acoustic guitar

and lot's of over-loud media types at the bar. their loss. This version is

more lush obviously


Tindersticks

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9ZEwEUeSVFA


Picking a sticks song is hard. So I went with one of Lady MacGabhann's

favourites


Lambchop - Up With People



You will clap along.... yes, you will


Emmylou Harris - Wrecking Ball

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bEwQbptSnAk


I'm convinced she's not of this earth. But this is lovely


David Bowie - Thursday's Child



I love this video.. both the song and the video a melancholy-tinged-with-hope effort about ageing



Flaming Lips - Do You Realise?

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qvdma6tCnjw

Makes me giddy....


Massive Attack - Safe From Harm

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aZ1cACrPHdc

This reminds me of Queens Sq in Bristol and one of the best gigs I ever saw


Saul Williams - Black Stacey


Seriously interesting character. Saw him supporting NiN and bought his

album straight afterwards. He does more poetry readings than live concerts

but if you get a chance to see him... here he sings it without music


Scott Walker - If You Go Away

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LGAWtQsUymk


Ne Me Quittez Pas indeed. This reminds me of a gig at the jazz cafe where

this was playing loudly as tranvestites handed out free cigarettes and

everyone prepared to Shag Tobacco

  • 1 month later...

It?s been a wet weekend; I?m in my nightgown way before bedtime and I?m makin? free with the Grey Goose. Here are some sad songs. Cry with my compliments. This being said, I would choose 10 completely different songs tomorrow night; the beauty of the mixed tape.


Strange first choice because I always hated this 80s stadium-rouser until I stumbled upon this acoustic version which strips the song down to nothing; just a sad story about a guy who gets shafted by his country. Listen without prejudice.

Bruce Springsteen ? Born in the USA

http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=Uc0ucoesINs


Pixies ? Cactus

This is a song about a guy in prison asking his lady to send him her dirty dress so he can get through the dark times.


Sitting here wishing on a cement floor

Just wishing that I had just something you wore

I put it on when I go lonely

Will you take off your dress and send it to me?


Now I may be the only one ever to find this horny but just imagine being loved / loving someone that much? Hmmm, horny. It?s a Pixies song but here?s the David Bowie cover:

http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=XDQqq0ehwlc


Sod it, here?s the Pixies too ?cos I just found this on Youtube with Frank and the guys gone all acoustic and I can always make a little extra room for the Pixies

http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=Ex272jpUOSg


Pogues ? Lullaby of London

Difficult to choose just one Pogues song but this one haunts and I think Shane may actually be sober on this take.

http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=qfCApwN7iuA


NIN/Johnny Cash - Hurt

If you don?t cry you?re STONE

http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=AO9dbmJ_2zU


Nirvana ? All Apologies

I would walk on hot coals for the full length of Lordship Lane to have the chance to see these guys. Never gonna happen. Sucks.

http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=2oAF3UdSJ1k


I love a good Dylan song, just so long as he?s not the one singin? it (miserable bugger). I really wanted to include Barb Jungr singing It?s All Over Now Baby Blue but I?m technically challenged and I didn?t know how. If anyone can help ? please upload for me. Otherwise, here?s another. Stay with her ?till the end ? she?s worth it.

Bob Dylan ? Like A Rolling Stone

http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=A54x6NpKwDY


Toni Childs ?

I wanted to upload Stop Your Fussin (which always lifts a cloud) but, again, I didn?t know how, so here?s another. Where is this lady these days?

http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=nBADxGUQFrA&feature=related


Antony and the Johnsons, what?s not to like?

http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=6M7qQedSdKk


Dolly gone punk

White Stripes ? Jolene

http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=j3cG-kQcED0


Led Zeppelin ? Dazed and Confused

From O2 reunion last year. Can?t remember being this excited since Father Christmas brought me Malibu Barbie circa 1973.

    • Here's the part of march46's linked-to Southwark News article pertaining to Southwark Council. "Southwark Council were also contacted for a response. "Councillor James McAsh, Cabinet Member for Clean Air, Streets & Waste said: “One of Southwark’s key priorities is to create a healthy environment for our residents. “To achieve this we closely monitor legislation and measures that influence air pollution – our entire borough apart from inland waterways is designated as a Smoke Control Area, and we also offer substantial provision for electric vehicles to promote alternative fuel travel options and our Streets for People strategy. “We as a council support the work of Mums for Lungs and recognise the health and environmental impacts of domestic solid fuel burning, particularly from wood-burning appliances. “We are currently updating our Enforcement Policy and changes will allow for the issuing of civil penalties ranging from £175 to £300 for visible smoke emissions, replacing the previous reliance on criminal prosecution.  “This work is being undertaken in collaboration with other London boroughs as part of the pan-London Wood Burning Project, which aims to harmonise enforcement approaches and share best practice across the capital.” ETA: And here's a post I made a few years ago, with tangential relevance.  https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/278140-early-morning-drone-flying/?do=findComment&comment=1493274  
    • The solicitor is also the Executor. Big mistake, but my Aunt was very old, and this was the Covid years and shortly after so impossible to intervene and get a couple of close relatives to do this.  She had no children so this is the nephews and nieces. He is a single practitioner, and most at his age would have long since retired - there is a question over his competence Two letters have already gone essentially complaining - batted off and 'amusingly' one put the blame on us. There are five on our side, all speaking to each other, and ideally would work as a single point of contact.  But he has said that this is not allowed - we've all given approval to act on each others behalf. There are five on her late husband's side, who have not engaged with us despite the suggestion to work as a team, There is one other, who get's the lion's share, the typicical 'friend', but we are long since challenging the will. I would like to put another complaint together that he has not used modern collective communication (I expect that he is incapable) which had seriously delayed the execution of the will.   I know many in their 80s very adept with smart phones so that is not an ageist comment. The house has deteriorated very badly, with cold, damp and a serious leak.  PM me if you want to see the dreadful condition that it is now in. I would also question why if the five of us are happy to work together why all of us need to confirm in writing.             The house was lived in until Feb 23, and has been allowed to get like this.
    • Isn’t a five yearly electricity safety certificate one of the things the landlord must give for a legal tenancy?
    • Very sorry to hear this, but surely the landlord is responsible for fixing the electrics?  Surely they must be insured for things like this? I hope you get it all sorted out quickly.
