Wisdom of Harry - Chicken I somehow got the impression that Pete Astor's later solo work was all weird electronic experimentation, but the album this is from is just a great sequence of VU-influenced rock songs, very Weather Prophets in other words. This one has a particularly lovely dark guitar bit on it. As I mentioned elsewhere, 98p on Amazon. Ridiculous. | ||

Just ordered from amazon.fr. Stuart, I tried to quote your hilarious youtube comment but got in so much trouble with word screener I had to change computers. | ||

Sorry about that, Randy. Enthusiasm got the better of me. | ||

Great Western Squares - Oh Death. Irish country music in the mid-90s didn't get much better than this. | ||
| Pádraig Collins Member Username: Pádraig_collins Post Number: 4414 Registered: 05-2005 |
Changed my mind. Song of the day is, of course, You Get What You Give by the New Radicals. I heard it in the supermarket earlier and it has now cropped up on iTunes. | ||

Paul Kelly - Deeper Water (A-Z Recordings version) | ||
| Pádraig Collins Member Username: Pádraig_collins Post Number: 4420 Registered: 05-2005 |
Pugwash - Shine On Norvell Jefferson. Ireland doesn't produce a lot of power pop bands, but Pugwash pretty much single-handedly make up for it. | ||

| Pádraig Collins Member Username: Pádraig_collins Post Number: 4427 Registered: 05-2005 |
The Waterboys - Glastonbury Song. Such a joyously wonderful pop song. iTunes tells me the last time I played it was on new year's eve 2009. I must have played it on CD or iPod since then though, surely. I can't have gone two years, three months and six days since last playing this. | ||
| Pádraig Collins Member Username: Pádraig_collins Post Number: 4428 Registered: 05-2005 |
The Waterboys - Love And Death. Dream Harder is probably their most underrated album. | ||

Padraig, as a Kilbey fan, is the GB3 thing worth purchasing. Indeed, what are they ALL like (I'm sure you have all of them). | ||
| Pádraig Collins Member Username: Pádraig_collins Post Number: 4430 Registered: 05-2005 |
It's the only one I have Geoff, but yes, very much worth getting if you can find it. | ||

Weird Dreams - Faceless | ||
| Stuart Wilson Member Username: Stuart Post Number: 556 Registered: 10-2006 |
Dominique a - le convoi Nine minute epic that after the first few listens lodges irrevocably in the heart and mind. The instrumentation is stunning throughout the new album, a sort of wind quintet plus guitars.Glorious. | ||

Winston Tong - Theoretical China AND Big Brother This board has been quiet the past few days. Has it temporarily fallen victim to an Easter-enduced stasis? | ||
| Pádraig Collins Member Username: Pádraig_collins Post Number: 4435 Registered: 05-2005 |
Ivy - This Is The Day. Simply one of the greatest pop songs of the last 20 years. | ||
| andreas Member Username: Andreas Post Number: 955 Registered: 04-2006 |
theoretical china. oh, how i loved that song! that was my first thought after reading jeff's post. like so many other records i also sold my winston tong records. but the web can help: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=32UlbOinJ Uk still nice, but a ''deep in the eighties song/sound''. while talking about winston tong i nearly forgot why i am here. that is my song of the day: father john misty - Hollywood Forever Cemetery Sings http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3tHJB9Po_ Hc the ex- fleet foxes member does a great job. especially the opening hits you like the beat on the hi-hat, the noisy guitar and the reverberant voice singing ''jesus Christ, girl....''. the video isn't bad, too. | ||
| Pádraig Collins Member Username: Pádraig_collins Post Number: 4447 Registered: 05-2005 |
A song called Breaking Walls by a band called Chief has just cropped up on iTunes. I have no recollection of how I got this song, but it's great. | ||

Donnie and Joe Emerson - Baby http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ONIJXHvoy nw if you listened to the Dean Blunt/Inga Copeland stream which i have posted you will recognize that they have covered this song. amazing song! the other two songs on can listen to on you tube ('good times' and 'give me a chance') are good, too. it seems that this album is a rare gem. | ||

Big Red Bus - Cathedral Walls U.K. band who released a couple of singles and an album on vinyl in the late 1980s/early 1990s. I came across this track on The Sound Of Leamington Spa: Volume 1 CD. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oyjgJ1Z8g Ec | ||
| Andrew Kerr Member Username: Andrew_k Post Number: 711 Registered: 04-2005 |
Lightships - Sweetness in her Spark Perfect springtime listening... Gerard Love from Teenage Fanclub, whom I have never really listened to. Did see a couple of them backing Robert Forster at a truly notable gig in Glasgow many moons ago though. | ||
| skulldisco Member Username: Skulldisco Post Number: 1712 Registered: 10-2008 |
The Associates - Amused as Always. The way Mackenzie sings "Don't be so sure of days in advance" is truly staggering, such power and feeling. | ||
| skulldisco Member Username: Skulldisco Post Number: 1716 Registered: 10-2008 |
The Associates - Kitchen Person. Certainly gets the blood pumping on a lazy Sunday morning. | ||
| Stuart Wilson Member Username: Stuart Post Number: 561 Registered: 10-2006 |
Rod Stewart - Reason to believe Listened to Tim's version, listened to Johnny's, but Rod's is still the best. Everything sounds pretty good after a bottle of Chianti riserva, mind you. | ||
| Allen Belz Member Username: Abpositive Post Number: 2194 Registered: 09-2006 |
I wouldn't doubt your feelings there, Stuart - recent listening reiterated for me that that four-album run of Rod's remains a golden era. No Peace in My Palace - Grant Pure alchemy - "Now that Cupid's done what he could" isn't one of Grant's best lines by a long shot, and the horn that comes in not long after could be pure MOR under other circumstances, but here it has me welling up every time. | ||
| Stuart Wilson Member Username: Stuart Post Number: 562 Registered: 10-2006 |
Considering what he was doing with the Faces as well, it really was an astonishingly fecund period. Hard to believe what it all turned into. | ||
| Michael Bachman Member Username: Michael_bachman Post Number: 2360 Registered: 01-2005 |
Considering the lyric is proceed by a violin and succeeded by an oboe, it wouldn't be a stretch to guess that Grant is referring to Amanda. | ||
| Randy Adams Member Username: Randy_adams Post Number: 2923 Registered: 03-2005 |
Michael. (Slaps forehead.) I never thought of that. How dense of me. You must be right. | ||
| Allen Belz Member Username: Abpositive Post Number: 2195 Registered: 09-2006 |
Never occurred to me either, but yup, sounds right. Explains a lot. The fella really had it bad. | ||

Jeff, That's one of my favourite El tracks, I believe it's the Monochrome Set playing as the backing band for her | ||
| Jeff Whiteaker Member Username: Jeff_whiteaker Post Number: 2404 Registered: 10-2004 |
Cosmo, you may be right. I do know that Louis Philippe wrote a lot of her material and was probably involved in the recording of it as well. Very incestuous, those El folks! | ||
| Randy Adams Member Username: Randy_adams Post Number: 2928 Registered: 03-2005 |
You're Gorgeous -- Baby Bird Trashy, cheap and I turned up the volume in the car. | ||
| cosmo vitelli Member Username: Cosmo Post Number: 435 Registered: 05-2005 |
Should have checked my facts first Jeff, it's the Would-Be-Goods record that the Set played as the band on. Louis Philippe certainly wrote alot of the AA stuff, I am a fan of his voice and songwriting. | ||
| cosmo vitelli Member Username: Cosmo Post Number: 436 Registered: 05-2005 |
Beachwood Sparks - Forget the Song this is gorgeous, a track on the Uncut Magazine CD this month from their new album, absolutely gorgeous! cant wait for the new album | ||

"Trashy, cheap and I turned up the volume in the car." Love it. Pretty much describes this board's reason for being. | ||

Billy Bragg & Wilco - Go Down To The Water. Melody "borrowed" wholesale from the traditional Irish song She Moved Through The Fair. Still brilliant. | ||

Pavement - In The Mouth A Desert Their best ever song. | ||
| Andrew Kerr Member Username: Andrew_k Post Number: 712 Registered: 04-2005 |
Simon and Garfunkel - Mrs Robinson Just heard it on the radio. Wonderful, I've always loved the sound of the song, with those acoustic twiddly bits (technical term?). Best for me from the duo is always 'America' though; forever mysterious... | ||
| Stuart Wilson Member Username: Stuart Post Number: 566 Registered: 10-2006 |
Lou Reed - Caroline says 1 More pop with creative use of wind instruments. That vile/vial line always makes me wince though. | ||

Georges Brassens : Je Me Suis Fait Tout Petit Just visited the excellent museum dedicated to the poet/singer in his home-town of Sčte in the SE of France. |
