Great Lost Tracks - An Everyday Series

I reckon Gee'll find this a bit cheesy

I foyther reckon Sev will like (bits of) the video

I quite like both elements



Who cares what Crownybhoy'll make of it

I do know he'll be masturbating like a safari-park monkey (with OCD) to this one tho



(Shit middle 8/bridge tho )

Dad's gonna like the backin band here...

Posted with a heavy heart tho



Another unsung genius... gone

Thatcher still breathes

Moving in mysterious ways doesn't even begin to fuckin cover it

Arrrrrggggggghhhhhhhh

It's just no fuckin right

This however... is sublime



Incidentally... when I read the bad news on the Grauniad site this dinnertime and blurted out "Ahhh fuck OFFF!! Not Alex Chilton an'all " ...

The THREE ( ) 'music technology' lecturers who were sharing the workroom with me at that point looked blank

"Alex Chilton man..." sez I. "...You know - The Boxtops... Big Star... Did some great solo stuff in the 80s... produced a couple of The Cramps' best LPs...?"

Blank looks all round.

Buncha fuckin savages in this town man.

Seriously... check out High Priest as a primer

You'll never regret it a day in your life

I can't remember if that was the Isleys track that I've been lookin for on YT since forever...

If it wasn't - it was definitely this one...

(Check out the sultry/slinky schmooze-a-licious intro on this baby - short tho it is )

Five viewers...


Jeeeezusss

I'm bored shitless - cantcha tell???

Waddya want?

Blood?



There.

That oughta scare off most of em

All gone...

Bar that last viewer that I can't ever seem to shake off

Hope it's who I think it is












































































Hey Bewls!





And that's all she (and Henry Purcell) wrote

I got a thing about The Ronettes.

All of em

I mean...

They're hardly 'exposed' in terms of couture here....

...ankle-length skirts, the lot of em.

But those hips start twitchin...

And those A-L skirts get to swingin...

And Ronnie's voice...

Then there's the small matter of the "Uhh" at 2.25...

Pure, uncut, unadulterated sex





Mind you...

If any one of em was wearing a Barca shirt with the number 10 on the back...

Offered Toots a trip out to the pub tonight.

Knocked me back

She's prolly right tho - she has a much more clear-eyed view of life as it is actually lived in Falkirk

Thye pub would undoubtedly fulla the same wankers and human detritus as it normally is...

...trouble is...

I'd already imagined an altogether different scenario featuring a shit-hot, bash-em-out, bar- band playing in BTW and opening with...



You know I sometimes think my propensity for wishing I was somewhere else all the time might be approaching "galloping" status

Cracking place... the inside of my head.

Bit cluttered mind

Visit from the wee cuz...

Hence the hiatus

Cuh...

I did tryta explain that I had a duty to perform...

But then....




You know how the rest goes...

...say it with me

"...going up, up, up..."

So predictable

So real.....

So you think you're having good times...

(I'm using 'good times' in its loosest possible sense here y'understand )

So it's a repost

So fuckin what?

Think yerself lucky I set a Miles Davis embargo on this partickler foray into the unfocussed

So...

...it's goodnight from him...




It's goodnight from her...



and it's from me.

One of the best opening lines ever .....



Now then, now then ....... guys and gals!

I think I may have posted this before but the threads a mile long so whp knows?

Just the three or four times James

But then... as I'm about to indulge in a short "best pianner-usage on a track" theme...

Who the fuck am I to talk?

Can't get the proper (recorded) versh of this on YT - but I urge ya to check it out.

(If memory serves, it's the b-side on the 12" of "You Need Another Lover (like you need a hole in your head)" )

Live versh is OK tho...

Whenever Elvis Costello went into the studio with a piano part in the arrangement and the engineer asked him what kind of sound he wanted on the ole jo-hanna...

He'd play him this record and say - "...make it sound like this"

He's got a good ear has ole Declan.

Bring on the flange!!!!



(...and the echo and the delay-pedal and the phase-pedal...)

I haven't been myself of late...



It's that wee octave at the top - the "plink, plink, plink, plink..." - as does it for me on this un.
