Great Lost Tracks - An Everyday Series

Between 'Higher Ground' and 'All In Love is Fair'

(Gotta be a better word than 'squelchy' to describe that bassline )

A true pigeon-blood ruby

Resistance is futile

Don't kid yerself - it's impossible to shake

(You may want to however )

Awwww maaaan

The purveyor of rare truths and truly soulful beauty is among us again...

...will we never be set free?

Aaaaand back to square one

(Nothing to do with radio fitba incidentally )

I reckon that Andy (ridiculous name ) Sturmer has been monitoring my nocturnal transmissions (emissions? )

Spilt Milk...



In the breathless hush of 4 a.m.
In the dark sits a sad cliche.
Cloaked in the navy blue of slowly fading stars

Great obvious tracks that have been missed from this thread due to the fact that they aint that 'lost'...

But still 'great'...

Only IMO y'understand

(OK - I know it's a bit of a diabolical liberty - but I'm bored and I STILL don't have any )



The old Stones



Gaaawww blimey...

The 'new' Stones...

If you've bin to a wedding of any sort... (check)

If you've bin in a social club of any kind... (check)

If you've ever come away from the bar of said social club thinkin...

'change from a tenner for a round of seven drinks?? (two of em doubles an'all!! )'

(Check and mate )

"Play the song James..."

If you've ever been in Blackpool dancing like a complete fuckin loon in the company of people of whom you're very fond indeed....

This one's for you

Still no luck with that (balls of solid brass considering this season's 'honest mistakes') trawl then Crownybhoy?



Never mind eh...

Mibbes you'll have better luck with your copy and paste of said post on the Huddleboard or SF Mad.

No 'bleep'

No ****in' way!!

For Der Gov'nur

Good to see ya back in the fold

If you've ever worn a tall hat like a druid in the old days....

..in Fawkirk High Street...

...on a Saturday night at chuckin out time...





....then you're prolly well aware of the ad-hoc and selective approach to public order legislation employed by the big, ugly Fawkirk polis

Fascist bastards

Yay!!!

I love a new page me

Love this too

Only cos I love the way Puccini 'lays down a choooon' mind

Don't tell anyone tho

Freddie Mercury - the show-offy ponce of choice for rancid old Turks everywhere

Good choon this tho

(Fuck's sake my (ahem) 'street cred' may be intensive care for months after this little episode )

Wait for the solo - definitely worth it

Y'know that's what I love about this place

If you're feelin a bit down... or lonely....

You can come on here...


... and be given the rubber ear by a totally better class of arsehole

Y'know - ones that are perfeckly happy to sook up the vibe and then fuck off when they get bored

Fuck yeez - ahm off to Facebook to annoy them for a bit

ELO what's happening here

Anyway here's the Cure, no doubt I'll be joining you getting the deaf ear Immo

Seems like you and me are the only two gentlemen left on this board James.

Love that edgy wee drip-drip-drip of Crawley's finest

The Grauniad music blog had a 'Best Songs with Whispering in Them' feature last week

50+ posts before this (slightly disturbing if I'm honest ) beauty got a namecheck

Buncha savages in this town maaan

You know I love Dexy's mate, anyone who doesn't is quite frankly dumb as sticks

Here's the Waterboys before Mike Scott lost the plot

Love it!!

You will, of course have noticed that the proper version of Dance Stance is now amongst the YouTube fraternity? ...

Thought so.



Shut your fuckin mouth till you know the truth

Bonus - and still the best ever capture of their live power IMHO...



I saw em on the Too-Rye-Ay tour at the Pavillion you know

Inspriational stuff

Hey Hey!

(My My )

Talent show time at Forth Valley College approaches once more

I gotta wee grab-bag of potential songs that I'm considering

This is on the list - least likey tho - due to the chronic shortage of pissed-up,raggedy-arsed kindred spirits (and a violin player ) to fill in the gaps in my pianner pounding.

Current hot favourite

Quite fancy a crack at this one too.

Just so I can lead in with the story of the song's inspiration

Apparently Mike Reid (no... not that one ) got the idea after reading about a court case where an inveterate toper had shot up his girlfriend's car when she tried to leave him. After being asked by a very pompous and self-righteous judge - right before he sent the poor smokehound down - if the defendant had learned anything from his experience, the accused said

"I learned, Your Honor, that you can't make a woman love you... if she don't."

Great story - triffic song.

I might reprise my (piss-poor) Tom Waits impressonation with this crowd pleaser...



(I'd need to climb on the ole pianna stool for the high notes mind )

Late entrant

100/1 outsider
