  • Continuing on from yesterday, when I started watching this:



    Melvin Gibbs is a monster bassist! And it's great to hear Cassandra Wilson in an edgier environment again. 
  • Meeting my new best friend today.

    Here's a heavy clue.

    Well said Chris

    Is the glass half full or half empty?

    Let's have another cover


    or two


    Karma is dead good BTW

  • it's a sunny day so maybe this to start with






  • ...because my very old lady cat, Su, died this week, and she loved to whinge at me when I would seranade her with this tune. And because it makes me smile at the idea of her ever having been "clued in" to anything in my life other than my adminstering to her every need - which, of course, I did.
    It's wonderful how much music is part of relationship. Love that. Am grateful for it.

  • This isnt the first time I've posted this. But there is something wonderfully perfect about this tune for me. Something gloriously cyncial but accepting about human desires, desperations, and the nature of existence; "It looks like freedom, but it feels like death. It's something in between, I guess." Pure poetry. "She's a hundred but she wearing something tight". Fabulous.

    Sorry to hear about your cat. She's gone to a place where only cat-acceptable music is played ;-)

    All this birthday talk has got me strolling down memory lane.

    I was 16 and living in London just a stones throw away from the Kings road and bang. The Punk scene started.

    I jumped in with both feet and the party’s been going on ever since.

    It must have hit them like a brick in the face that the universal adoration was not errr universal.

    Let’s start the birthday party.


    Not.




  • The Daily Stereolab

    I was a little late to appreciating the punk scene, playing catch up there.

    Here's a fave;



    Then two local bands for me...









  • ....but I was actually listening to this....

    The Ruts

    I saw them at the Music Machine. Just superb and a great track selection from you.

    and moving forward a little

    Gang of Four


    And the mighty


    makes me feel homesick

    I lived by the river

    and it was a very short jump to this



  • Ooooh, serious heavy weights there. That somehow sent me spinning off into folk-punk, via The Men They Couldn't Hang amongst other and now to:-

    ....and moving on....





    Blissssssss
  • I do love a bit of The Cure! But am being drawn in a different direction this evening...

     


  • Toots and The Maytals
  • Blimey, I'd forgotten about them!

    That led me to The Silencers and then memories of the old Wembly Stadium concert they supported at, Simple Minds headlining with Texas and ....... remember Gun?

    (White Lies "Death")

    Love this song. It was great in the context of the film "A Girl Walks Home Alone at Night", but for me has come to stand well on it's own. I think it's because it resonates with my own experience of trying desperately to manage my own anxiety and mental health at various times in my life, and of those times when through luck or judgement I pridefully manage it.

    I've got this dubwise.

    Here's another cut from the Guerilla in Dub album


    Nice party and great sounds BTW

  • Time for the Daily Stereolab


  • Shoom,
    That "Guerilla in Dub" one is an old favourite of mine. I'm was surprised to find out that someone else owns a copy. :-)
