Great Lost Tracks - An Everyday Series

I'm currently dredging the lower reaches of my 'clip-stash'.

Still... I'm 50 now so you gotta expect that kinda physical deterioration intcha.

No idea why I thought this was worth savin.

A keeper.

True dat.

Fantastic cover tho.

All the good ones are gone...

... and Jon Bon Jovi continues to walk the streets unmolested

Lovely quality on the clip...

Lovely fella in the clip...

Just....



































...a clip.

aRt PUncKe...

FaE fIFe...


MmMmMmmmMM....

fAy fIfE...

It's the effortless swing and movement in the performance... almost off-hand.

Like it was something they were born knowing how to do and just had to wait for the zeitgeist to catch up with them.

And John's voice of course.

The full-throated roar of a young man with the world at his feet at 2.07 and the involuntary hiccup just afterwards (2.11-ish) where he nearly steers the thing off the road and into the ravine he gets so excited.

Works for me!

Brian's pipes aint what they were on this clip.

But the sparkle's in the writing and the arrangement here - not the performance.

Easily the equivalent of anything that forms part of the Western classical canon.

Take it up with ole Lenny B if'n ya don't like it.

If embdy knows of any tickets goin spare for this lot's sold-out Edinburgh gig on Sept 18th, I'd be hugely grateful if you could givvus a shout.

Album of the year so far.

A mess of potash?

A pocket full of Pretty Green?

About the same if you work at Park Gardens.

Or is it Circus?



But didn't we have a nice time?

Ahh wasn't it such a fine time?






A parcel of rogues...

Disappointing currency news for those travelling abroad.

Apparently the mickle is faring very poorly against the muckle in the exchange rates.

Shares in good tunes and old fiddles however have remained stable.

I'm havin that 20,000th post man...

... you know it.

A(ll) Go-Betweens album titles have two e(ll)s in em... apart from the ones that don't

Something old

Ferry's a fuckin horse's cock now.

This is awright tho.

The Fannies however were, are, and will doubtless continue to be... a fekkin delight!

When the i-phone has an 'app' that lets me input this sleazy wee beauty...

... and then gives me a list of pubs within a 50 mile radius that have it on their jukebox...

... then we'll talk.

EDIT

Or this...

Duff & Phelps...

Green and Whyte....

Y'know in all the excitement...

Hope it stayed nice for em.

"For every fiver Celtic spend, we'll borrow handshake launder steal 'spend' a tenner..."

Oh no....

I aint done yet...

Not by a long fukkin way.



W.A.T.P. = We're away to Peterheid.



Good enough for them.

"This is a... beautiful day..."




We may have been 'paranoid'... but we obviously weren't 'paranoid' enough.

Incidentally... how IS ole Campbell Ogilvie takin all this... he's gone very quiet hasn't he?

Next season's Rangers TV package details released...

Beautiful sunset tonight.

First one of this sorry, sodden summer.
