| Allen Belz Member Username: Abpositive Post Number: 912 Registered: 09-2006 |
That's a goodun too, Michael. And the Toys song is actually alternating in my head with "Killing the Blues" by R. Plant and A. Krauss. Hmmmm... LK, if you're around there lurking, just let me say that I think Plant mops the floor with Krauss on this one...yeah I said it, she should just take her toys and go on home! (Now, if that doesn't bring him out of hiding, nostrils flaring, he really must be gone...) | ||

Pad that song is an effin classic, nice reminder!! Today's mind blower for me is: Losing Haringey by The Clientele. I have Kev to thank for this I think, as do they because I mentioned how great they were to Chris Roberts UNCUT journo, he couldn't believe how he'd missed em and thought they were astonishing and he gave them a wicked review, that they are now using on ads for the album!. Well done kev! | ||

| spence Member Username: Spence Post Number: 2046 Registered: 05-2005 |
Pad you gotta, esp with lyrics like this on leaving haingey... When I look back at this there's nothing to grasp, no starting point, I was inside an underexposed photo from 1982 but I was also sitting on a bench in Haringey, strangest of all was the feeling of 1982ness, dizzy illogical as if none of the intervening disasters and wrong turns had happened yet. I felt guilty and inconsolably sad. I felt the instinctive tug back, to school; the memory of shopping malls, cooking, driving in my mothers car, all gone, gone forever. I just sat there for awhile, I was so tired that I didn?t bother trying to work out what was going on. I was happy just to sit in the photo while it was lasted which wasn?t long anyway. The light faded, the wind caught the smoke, the stars dimmed under the glare of the streetlamps. I got up and walked away from the spot of little benches and an oncoming of Garish kids. Our bus was rumbling to my rescue down that hill with a great big fire Alexandra palace on its front and I realized I did want to drink after all | ||

| spence Member Username: Spence Post Number: 2049 Registered: 05-2005 |
Leaving Haringey is a bit of an oddball tune on an album that to me reminds me of Davey Jones of The Monkees, fronting Felt as his backing band whilst the guitarist forgot to turn his tremelo effect on his Fender twin Reverb amp, probably from the 70's, off! For me its very very very English, its English suburbia, I can't quite believe how good this is, I am actually filling up as I type. LH also reminds me of the sound of Nick Currie's (Momus) voice, which I used to find very sexy and odd. The Clientele are the only band in the world I would sell my Hornby HST model train to be in, they are wonderful. | ||

Spence, There was a great Durutti song on an Uncut monthly a few years ago that blew me away..goes to Bookcase to have a look.....Yes, there it is "Somebody's Party", very spooky and dreamy as I recall. Actually, this is a good CD: Sleepy jackson, Shack, James Kirk, Ian McNabb & Crazy Horse...so what I am now listening to now is UNCUT Pick of the Month Sept 2003. | ||
| Jeff Whiteaker Member Username: Jeff_whiteaker Post Number: 937 Registered: 10-2004 |

| spence Member Username: Spence Post Number: 2062 Registered: 05-2005 |

| spence Member Username: Spence Post Number: 2064 Registered: 05-2005 |
Under a pale light - Felt. These and the Jasmine Minks i once saw play together, they were fabulous groups. There were quite a few groups around during the c86 era that were really great, and unfortunately scene's which are created by outsiders and followers somehow tarnished the credibility of many great acts who wer not shambolic or crapwith the shambling c86 tag. Yes there were some appauling acts but this happens with every wave. Exceptional bands of that time for me (bearing in mind my Postacardian purity) were The Mighty lemon Drops, The Wolfhounds, The Blue Aeroplanes, The Wild Flowers, Peop Will Eat Itself, BMX Bandits, Pig Bros, Blue Ox Babes, The Room,/Benny Profane, The Surf Drums, The Jazz Butcher, Close Lobsters, The Wedding Present, Submarine, The June Brides and The Weather prophets. Sorry rant over. | ||
| Wilson Davey Member Username: Wilson Post Number: 137 Registered: 05-2005 |
I liked The Bodines too.. A great lyric being "It scares the health out of me" from Paradise which was on C86. Their "Therese" single was equally good. I could go on all day about how good The Loft single "Up the hill and down the slope" is, I bought the 12". What became of Pete Astor ? I've got a creation Lp called domeheads somewhere. | ||
| spence Member Username: Spence Post Number: 2066 Registered: 05-2005 |
Wilson yep Bodies wer a great singles band, but just OK live IMHO! Wasn't that line from Therese? Was a great song. Yep The Loft were cool. Then the Caretaker Race, which was Andy's band, i supported them in my group Steamtown in '86/87. Nice guys/. Bill's Wishing Stones were OK, but his voice was lacklustre. Peter Astor, did some solo stuff, he worked with a friend of mine, Ian Keary who was in the oyster Band/Blue Aeroplanes/Solo, and he had this thing called Wisdom of Harry. I think I saw Weather Prophets support GoBetweens, Wolves Poly in '87. They were remarkable. Astor's guitar playing like Verlaine. I got that Dmehads album too, its quite rare now. Did you fo to the Clarenden Doing it for the kids gigs? June '87? | ||
| Wilson Davey Member Username: Wilson Post Number: 139 Registered: 05-2005 |
Spence, Yer right man it was Therese. I have a soft spot for The Weather Prophets cos, and this is true I swear. My wife went into labour on 1 dec 1986 for our first child Molly, she was born at 10.00pm, just as The John Peel show came on Radio 1 on the hospital radio, as I held her for the first time Peely opened the show with the new Weather Prophets single "Naked as the day you were born"... The single was not that great in all honesty but that didn't matter ! Molly grew up listening to REM, The Fall, Van Morrison (Astral Weeks and Poetic Champions Compose being used as lullaby's in our flat), Go Bees, The Smiths, Orange Juice, Roddy, Paleys, Tom Waits and loads more. Together we saw the Go- Bees 3 times since 2003 (Astoria, Barbican and Birmingham Academy), she's now 21 of course. She says the London Astoria gig was the best gig she has ever been to, she ripped the entire GB's catalogue to her laptop before going off to Uni...wearing that black Oceans apart tour t-shirt. Dad was so proud !! It only seems weeks ago that I was photographed holding her as a baby on Skegness sea front in my "The Queen is Dead" T-shirt. This being a sore point with her as I lost that shirt somewhere along the way and she would loved to have had it for herself, anyway she has taken my Daintees hat with her.... Didn't get to the Clarendon gig, "gig going" had to take a back seat to fatherly duties in the late 80's (and we were skint). I met Edwyn though pre gig at Sheffield Poly. I think that was about 87. We had a chat and he put us on the guest list. Talking of Verlaine's influence on that crowd, do you recall The Room and "shirts of fire" I think Verlaine produced it and his sound was all over it... | ||

The Weather Prophets...is it possible their first album has still never been remastered? I listen quite a lot to the second one, there's a song about his dead father that is profoundly moving. Meanwhile, my favourite song of the moment must be Roddy Frame's Small World, which I've just caught up with on the wonderful Early Doors series DVDs. So now I have to try and get a hold of the Frame solo work, I guess. | ||

The Clientele's take on Orpheus Beach sounds like it will reveal a lot on repeated listens (this is my first time hearing it). I've ordered their current album based on Spence's rave review (and 30 seconds of each song on Amazon). This song makes me want to hear their own stuff all the more. | ||

It's possibly cliched to say it but he makes the songs he covered his own and it's like hearing the songs for the first time, Bridge over troubled water and In my life being 2 examples whereby the originals just don't compare IMHO. The raw hearfelt emotion from such a minimalist approach, you don't need technique, just a voice that creates feeling; Cash, Dylan, Waits, Lydon, Morrisey, Mculloch...all wouldn't pass the X Factor audition would they ! I would have loved Cash to have covered Buckley's Hallelujah, If you close your eyes you can imagine what it would have sounded like... | ||
| XY765 Member Username: Judge Post Number: 425 Registered: 01-2006 |

| Stuart Wilson Member Username: Stuart Post Number: 151 Registered: 10-2006 |
Cash always seemed to manage to make a song his own latterly, perhaps because you get the feeling that he's earned the right to do whatever he wants with them, singing like a slab of granite at the bottom of a deep deep well...I think he'd have done a fine version of Hallelujah. Speaking of Cohen: I once had an excellent video called Songs from the life of LC, a nice mix of documentary & great concert excerpts, which subsequently fell into the hands of a soon-to-be-ex girlfriend, and then therefore vanishing forever of course, and, inevitably, never reappearing on DVD... I don't suppose anyone might have a copy they could copy...?? | ||
| Jerry Clark Member Username: Jerry Post Number: 779 Registered: 08-2004 |
LC's own Hallelujah has been over-shadowed by Cale & Buckley's versions. Yeah Buckley would stick a few lines of I Know It's Over in Hallelujah as a medley thang. It's actually credited in title on JB's many live albums. I prefer it when these things jump out & surprise you. Like McCulloch would on Do It Clean & All You Need Is Love etc! | ||

20th century boy – T rex Just like heaven – Cure Our house – Madness Bohemian like you – Dandy Warhols Southern man – Neil Young ….one after the other in the gym today, thanks to Italy’s new Virgin radio! Thank the lord, since otherwise Italian radio is like Radio 1 in the 1970s, based around something like a 15 disc playlist on constant recycle. So now I can work up a sweat without my hands over my ears! | ||

Hey Spence - kudos for mentioning Dave Graney's Rock and Roll is Where I Hide. A great, great song - both musically and lyrically. Seen him play it live a few times and its always a standout. | ||

I'm gonna buy some Joao Gilberto on Jeff's recommendation, as well as one of my fave group's cite them as an influence, The Kings of Convenience. Mark, today's song Dave Graney - Listen to her lover's sing. Anyone got the Moodists Jack O Diamonds on CD/MP3? God the term MP3, its effin awful, like some crime file or something, not a piece of music. | ||

Spence - those early Joao Gilberto albums are out of print and *really* hard to find. If you have difficulty finding 'em, shoot me an email and I'll hook you up. Michael - Next Stop Wonderland does have a good soundtrack. I particularly like "Triste" by Elis Regina - it's *the* definitive version of that Jobim classic. Gilberto's "Stay" is a good one too. I wish they'd have used Jorge Ben's "Mas Que Nada," not to mention the Sergio Mendes and Brasil '65 version of "One Note Samba," as they're superior to the versions found here. Still a nice soundtrack, though. | ||

Spence - did you get the Gilberto songs I sent you? Not sure if they're your cup of tea, but all I can listen to these days is Brazilian bossa nova and samba. | ||

Robert Forster - Let Your Light In, Babe. Jeff's correct that it's very similar to Born To A Family... but it's a new Robert song! It's great. | ||

every time someone mentions H17 around here i get a bit excited like. the second half of penthouse and pavement is one of my favourite sides ever. anyway, song of the past few days i was going to mention was rem's half a world away. you can see how they went from that....country feedback and then on to record automatic. y'know...sweetfully honest, etc. and it was lovelingly used in an episode of scrubs i saw a couple of weeks ago, which is what made me revisit. | ||

Brisbane - Randy Adams. It's got a rhyming scheme Mark E Smith would be proud of. | ||

"Marky" Smith used rhyming schemes? unless ending every other line with "uhh" counts. |
