Great Lost Tracks - An Everyday Series

Post-perf comedown

It's a killer man

Stevie the Script and I used to be in a band years ago.

He knew the perils of the P.P. comedown an'all

Dint happen every time mind

But when it did - S the S always had a wee mix tape to see us through to the small hours as we sat up staring at the crumbling wreck we called home at the time.

All of the following (and preevyuss) featured on said mix tapes.

The mood would invariably be broken by Fat Baz (the drummer ) bursting into the front room and singing (hilariously ) "Ne me keech yer pants" along with this one (again )

(It was like catnip to the fat fucker - I swear I half expected him to burst through the door when i played it just now - nearly 30 years after the fact )

Stevie the Script and I would hurl toast crusts and empty coffee mugs at him until he stopped.

And then we'd retire.

Great stuff immo, and not a mention of a 25% pay cut, like certain members (and I use that word intentionally ) I could name check.

Thanx Crownybhoy - very kind of ya

It's Friday...

And as any fule kno... that can only mean one thing!







Let it rock!

Maaan - I'd forgotten about 'Revolver'

Fun for all the family of a turgid 70s Saturday night

See what I did there?

I kinda regret not being a Dad

But I still yukked it up big-time when the God-like Jarv played this on his show today

Another Sunday

Another dip of the toe into the murky waters of eclecticism

Jazz first



Y'know if you look up the word "duuuuuude!" in the OEd - there's a wee picture of Monk... prolly

I suppose you think you're gonna see the bleedin titles now

Well you're not - so settle down.

Clap hands here comes Charlie

Billie H's last studio album was Lady in Satin

Produced and arranged by Ray Ellis.

I reckon it's the most affecting thing she ever recorded.

You can hear the smack and the heartbreak and the impending death oozing out of every note she sings.

Her voice aint the instrument it was on her classic sides with Pres and Teddy W...

But maaaaan

Always end up back with the big man



Saw him at the Usher Hall and the Kings Theatre Embra round about this time (75/76) thanks to the good graces of my Uncle Panda

I felt blessed even at the time

Cosi Fan........seems to be popping up on random a lot while cycling, think it's my favourite Squeeze album.

How duhhhhrrr you!!!

How duhhhhrrr you interrupt my eclectic/obscuro Sunday night fayre with your lager-boy Deptford-based pop music!!

Back I say... back!!!

And anyways...

East Side Story is easily the best Squeeze album

William Bloke is a great album.
