Great Lost Tracks - An Everyday Series

Hope you enjoyed your port and lemon you Hylda Bakeresque disgrace to the name of blousification

Sun's gonna be up soon...

If you got the weird wee thing in ya that craves that false new beginning evry few 24 hours or so...


..this is good un to listen to while your doin it




Still dark outside

Gony put the lights out soon

Will keep you up to date

Unless I can't be arsed

Over...

Out....






































...under, sideways, down

The Yardbirds - isn't it?

Wasn't it?

Immo, that film, it's 102 years old, isn't it?

Or is it?

Naw...

Yer right...



The fires killed more'n the 'quake - or so I'm led to bleev

You're a very learned fellow Gee

Choose anything form the top (indie) shelf...





































Apart from the suspiciously old and dust-covered portable Aiwa CD/Cassette player obviously.

The most perfect-in-every-aspect pop-group ever???

It's rhetorical

Of course they fukkin are

How gorge is Ms Arnold BTW

P.P. stands for pulsatingly pulchitrudinous pop-pickers!

Take it away professor..



(You know you're s'posed to listen to these as part of a sequence - right? )

Just for Crownycobber

He loves them Aussies man

Cheers to Crown

(You absolutely sure you're not a Tim? )

Mucho appreciated man - You're approaching "McGrory" on the ole Gent-o-meter

I love a massive, swelling organ me.

(Insert Benny Hill/Julian Clary gag here)





"Every spark of friendship and love will die without a home..."

And finally...

Just cos it never seemed so aposite...

(And also cos it's a crackin, edgy versh )



"One look sends it coursing through the veins, oh how the feeling races
Back up to their brains to form expressions on their stupid faces
They don't want to say hello, like I want to say hello
Well, My heartbeat's at its peak, when you're coming up to speak

And oh, I'm so tense and never tenser
Could all go a bit Frank Spencer
And I'm talking gibberish
Tip of the tongue but I can't deliver it...
Properly
Oh, it's all getting on top of me
And if it weren't this dark
You'd see how red my face has gone, yeah

Everybody's tryna crack the jokes and that... to make you smile
Those that claim that they're not showing off are drowning in denial
But they're not half as bad as me - say anything and I'll agree
Cause when it comes to acting up, I'm sure I could write the book

And now that you're more than a part in the play
It's slightly easier to think what to say
You had us all standing on our heads
Doing our best tricks, yeah

Never again
Never again
No, will there be another one quite as desirable as you!
(One look sends it coursing through the veins, oh how the feeling races
Back up to their brains to form expressions on their stupid faces)"

Storming tune immo. Have some Arcade Fire (another fine Canadian band {you prolly know that, not patronising you}) if you're interested.

I've got afull complement of A.F. trax already Crownybhoy

But ta for the offer anyway

You patronising cunt

Maaan

I dunno where to start with this one

The fruity dancing from the male lead singer...

The chain belt on Polly Brown (for it is she)

The "thumbs-up" "hitch-hike" dance stylings

The big square-faced Aussie introducing em...

Oddly fascinating

Not Burt and Hal... (surprisingly )

...but Andre and Dory

Still beautiful

Still lit from within

Still irresistible

Get a fukkin grip!!!

I spoil you cunts summat rotten

You know that dontcha

"I remember you well in the Chelsea Hotel
That's all
I don't think of you that often"


Sincerely

This guy IS a lost Great. Honest he is

Introducing Allan Smethurst. Better known as The Singing Postman

It's no use ...

I had a strategy for this thread an'all

Just don't look at it.

I mean...

...fukkin foolproof innit

You avoid any kinda contact with it and time will do the rest

The time will come when you say...

"Remember how I used to think I would die if I didn't post on the ole music thread?"

And laugh

Still...






There it sits...





28 pages of it...








And sadly... tragically...




...if I'm not perusing it I'm thinking about it 24/7







For Plisskers...

Whoever he is



Gotta admit tho... it's a cracker innit

For the "tiny minority"

Not for Plisskers

Not him.

I've met lots of them...

...and he's definitely not one of them.

De salud Don Plisskenio!

PS

That invite to The Welly's still open

If you've never read White Bicycles by Joe Boyd (Google it)

You should.

The following are all inspired by it.

Nick Drake first - a very beautiful (if slightly damaged) individual.

It all ended badly for him - but when you hear the lyrics...

...it's almost like he knew what was comin

"Some men of fame
can never find a way.
Till the time has flown
far from their dying day."

Beautifully musical, a terrific wee ponder on the nature of fame in the lyric...

what's not to like?

Richard Thompson's playing on this is fukkin sublime

Perfect accompaniment/counterpoint

Sandy Denny can sing a bit too...

Hippie nonsense

And another thing...



How comes Nick Lowe isn't garlanded with roses and carried shoulder-high through the streets of his hometown for services to the sum total of general happiness.

"I went out to see my sister - she was not in
so I went and bought a paper then I returned.
She was well into the racing on the TV.
She has never been that fond of me - I wouldn't turn her over."

The Arctic who?

Never 'eard of em.

(Mibbes this will straighten old vinegar tits' face )

Evening Mo!

And again...



"In the tall building sit the heads of all nations.
Worthy men from Spain and Siam.
All-day discussions with the Russians but they still went ahead
and vetoed the plan.

Now up jumped the US representative
He's the one with the tired eyes.
Seven-forty-seven got him in that condition -
flyin back from a peace-keeping mission

And so it goes..."

Perfect scansion
