What are you listening to?

Have to check this one out folks. Think Graysons and Moehat may like this…

[moehat]

Nice one, Bulwark. I’ve seen them from somewhere and made a note of them before losing the note and then forgetting all about it..Jools Holland or maybe one of gcs’ links….sort of stuff son in law might have; seeing them this afternoon. Bit Interpol meets Jim Morrisson with a bit more thrown into the mix [Placebo, perhaps]. Good stuff [and a welcome break from Eurovision, although I’m interested in the Jarvis Cocker’ish guy from Estonia who did a nil points sort of song which I loved…..]

The best I have heard this year – glorious 60s feel. Apparantly number one in Ireland but doubtful the muppets over here will even notice it.

Having seen the squad that are going to ‘Represent’ at the World Cup this song seems fitting in it’s title at least!

Hope for the best…but expecting the worst on this one!

"Tear You Apart" by She Wants Revenge appeared on one of my 2006 lists;

What I hadn’t realised until recently was that this is the current project of alt.hip-hop luminary Justin Warfield, best known in this country for his guest rap on Bomb The Bass’s 1993 hit "Bug Powder Dust";

but prior to that had delivered a fine psychedelic hip-hop album of his own entitled "My Field Trip to Planet Nine", from which this was the lead single;

That’s a bit special – ta for sharing! Arguably sits (and it’s a good place to sit) somewhere between Cerys Matthews and this lady?

Here’s the clip from The Late Late Show. Makes me realise how much I miss Tara TV for the likes of this and RTE racing – would happily have it back for all the junk we have to put up with.

This is another really good French song – Train De Nuit

High Violet, the new one from The National, is a mighty fine collection of songs imho.

People have latched on the them now so this album is garnering more publicity but I would say ‘Boxer’ is the superior album although I particularly like this off the new one:-

seeing the Crispian St Peters obit this week put me in mind of this:

One of the features of Glastonbury is the hip acts covering the songs of the non-hip main Sunday afternoon act.

Well, the non-hip get there own back here:-

This by any chance? Very good I have to say.

Cheers for those Grays – hadn’t heard the second one for ages!
The alubum that the Audrey Hall track was on (reggae hits) do you have any? – They are really good…

Don’t have any of the series, sadly. The music library in Oldham which I roundly plundered for nigh on a decade had a very big reggae collection, but whilst its dub and roots content was very high, the more dancehall-oriented side of things was surprisingly sparingly covered. Plenty of Burning Spear, King Tubby, Lee Perry, Culture, etc. is owned, therefore, but little of Audrey Hall and her ilk.

Changing musical tack somewhat, I’ve revisited "Metamatic" by John Foxx recently, 30 years after its release, and have been enjoying it hugely. I believe he’s playing a special one-off gig in London on Derby day, entirely on analogue synths, which I’m sure I’d have loved to go to were I not already committed to Cherrybrook point-to-point instead.

Here’s the single from "Metamatic" that some of you may remember, if only from the juvenile shouts of "Underpants!!" which emanated from schoolyards at the time…

I went to this gig. Brilliant. The new stuff with Benge (analoge synth museum/studio muso genius from shoreditch), was great, plus the Metamatic stuff. Of particular enjoyment was the appearance on stage of god like genius Robin Simon who played a few tracks from Systems of Romance by Ultravox – check it all out on utube.

Sad to say best song of Systems "Maximum Acceleration" did not get a hearing. But he did a cracking version of Burning Car from the reissued 20?? version of Meta… – this is for my money the best Foxx solo track.

If you like your analogue synths and have a spare £5k plus treat yourself to a Yamaha CS-80 on ebay – http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Yamaha-CS-80-CS-8 … 3a5c33a655

Foxx appears with three of the monsters in the TOTP performance of Underpass from 1980. Surely rented to show his frmer Ultravox pals he was doing ok!
