Great Lost Tracks - An Everyday Series

More interweb rudeness...

I've occasionally bin known to skip past the odd music post (whilst acknowledging the bona fides of the performer ) and, think.... nahhhh - I know what that'll be like.



A salutary lesson.

Superb clippage oh chrome-domed one!!

The girl at the very end of the clip sez it best.

Have a Retha Y dontcha

Of course we had our own velvet-tonsilled sensation in the sainted Mary Isabel Catherine Bernadette O'Brien OBE (DSO and Bar )

Y'know if you shut yer eyes ....







No.... seriously - shut your eyes . the vidja's horrendous

Wotta voice/song combo tho

If you're at all interested in the whole Stones/Altamont thaaang....

Ethan Russell's - 'Let it Bleed. The Rolling Stones, Altamont and the Death of the 60s' is well worth a peek.

They were as good as they were ever going to get on that tour - and it really comes over in the writing.

Blimey!

Book recs on the music thread

Better post a clip

A tribute to Gentleman James McG. and his almost saintly tolerance of the












Jam-tastic!!

Is anybody lighting a joss-stick?

A repost

From very recently

However it's a new video.

(Funded by Island Records - or the less cuddly-sounding Universal Music Group if you prefer )

Plus - Ross 'The Boss' McFarlane is sporting a beard

A classic case of the purity of the meeja genre being tainted by concentration of ownership

That and capitalist bastards ruining things for everybody

(Pay attention at the back Baldy Oh and Crown...... .... don't do that )



EDIT

What's the name of that dance-hall on the Pollokshaws Road/Vicky Road intersection bit

The place beside McNee's - opposite The Star Bar (circa 80s/90s)

I reckon this might've been shot there.

Of course...

Those earlier 'rough' videos could've been a cynical ploy by UMG...

(Or the 'lovely' Island Records if you prefer )

...to give a touch of 'edginess' to the solo career of an already-mainstream artist/Fratelli intent on perfecting a re-write of the 1973/4/5/6 (recurring) Belgian Eurovision entry


Naaaah

Surely not

Still...


Superb tho.

Vive La Belgique!!

For Jimmy the Gent

Dunno if you're familiar with this guy James - but I thought he might be your kinda thing.

Thanks again man.

Fell of the wagon specktackrly this evening.

Toots was tucked up in bed with a cold and a lovingly-prepped comfort-food meal of tinned spaghetti on toast with a poached egg on top...

I was into my first drink of the working week

(First wobble in the Noo Years resoloosh an'all )

Then I got bored

Long story short...

1 X Shamelessly wangled invite to cuz's domicile has resulted in...

2 X pre-visit voddies

2 X Bottlsa red

1 X Lovely bitta

2 X post-visit voddies

(With cuz's words "I'm stuck for tracks - take the i-pod and bung some stuff on that you think I'd like" ringing in the shell-likes )





Like I need an excuse to research/post any old shite

Ahhhh it's gone 2

Far too late

Roll on Monday morning



Nytol

Tinned spaghetti is devil food, immo, reekingly full of very bad salt and sugar.

Far better to have served the poacher with a few sprigs of parsley, lots of pepper, or even a couple of leaves of wilted spinach.

Unless you're trying to kill toots of course.

*thinks* perhaps he has killed toots. Perhaps that's why she no longer posts here. Perhaps perhaps perhaps.....

It's comfort food man

It's meant to be bad for ya

Toots' cold worsened today

She's currently enveloped in a duvet on the couch watching endless episodes of Dolls House, (whatever that is ) and staring dolefully at me every time I cross her line of vision without a cold/hot drink, a box of tissues or a plate of warm toast in my hand.

Tonight she wanted tinned macaroni cheese on toast

(You can take the girl out of Slamannan... )

Which is prolly worse than the spaghetti - but the plate was clean and the patient took nourishment - that's the main thing

I'm going down the Jewish route for tomorrow - got a pot of chicken stock bubbling on a low gas as I type.

She's gone off up to bed complaining bitterly about me being able to have a drink whilst she is confined to Kovonia and Lemon Barley.

Music on

For John Chilcot...

Pyromania....



Did i ever mention that I used to suffer from kleptomania

I'm cured now - but if I ever feel it coming on again, I take something for it.

Apart from the blonde girl looking like she can't be bothered to be there, this is a lovely song.

Immo I LOVE that film, there are some great tunes in it. For example


I worked in a shop and we used to play this album all the time and it's true, everyone would always ask what it was. See also

A bit too folky for me Immo, send it to crown though as he likes folky/country/operatic type stuff

Got both those tracks, Ono, and they're excellent. Stereolab were on Later with jools years and years ago, eccentric band

Great 90s music though. Crown would never appreciate that.

Did you used to work in a record shop too O??

This album was a big fave in The Other Record Shop in Renfield Street when it came out.

Same thing- always got somebody coming up to ask what it was if you put it on.

(Top tracks BTW )

One for the shoppers...

Shameless repost.

But seein as how it would be in a top-ten list of the most perfectly-realised combination of music, image and dialogue in a pop vidja EVER!!!!...

(Not to mention it being an almost perfect fit for events in my real life today )

...you're stuck with it

Always just around the corner ....






You surely are a truly gifted kid
But you're only good as
The last great thing you did
And where've you been since then
Did the schedule get you down
I hear you've got a new girlfriend
How's the wife taking it ?

If it's uphill all the way you should be used to it by now

Bow down, all hail the monkey king ...... I'm not talking about Ian Ferguson either

A wee remix

and the original

Top monkey-bombing James

Wasted on Crown tho

Unless it's got some kinda cycling content he's immune to the pop/primate thang...
