Emma Morton – Daddy blues A Scots woman getting to the semi-final of Italian X-factor was great – she really deserved the final at least – and gave her the chance to present her own song, a tough, swinging blues about growing up in an Edinburgh family shredded by alcoholism. Smart, gutsy and cool, I really hope she makes it work in the music business here. | ||

Jean-Paul Sartre--Feverhut The band is Feverhut, JPS is the name of the song. I know nothing about them. I doubt that they are the same as the instrumental Fever Hut I find on youtube. This track comes off a 2002 vintage various artists comp put out by German label Firestation. The song is terrific. | ||

Randy, Some info on the band. http://www.discogs.com/artist/1255833-Fe ver-Hut Members of the group also played in the Hollow Men and the Passmore Sisters. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=92qYO64S _dk https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=isXkQTBl Xgs | ||

Hugh, I hoped my post would draw a response from you. I use Discogs all the time as a source of release dates for songs when I'm entering them into my iTunes library. (Yes, I'm that sort of geek and, no, I do not accept the existing often-wrong year contained in the iTunes database.) So I've no idea why I didn't check it for info about Fever Hut. I've just sourced a CD copy of "The Warmth of Vinyl" from a Polish seller on eBay! I see an expensive CD copy of the Passmore Sisters' comp originating from the Philippines circa 2014 but I suspect it's a needle-drop. Not sure I want to pay $40 for that. The two earlier Hollow Men albums are vinyl only. "Drowning Men" comes from the second one. I suspect the two later albums are less wonderful. Arista picked them up for U.S. release, for crissakes. Reissue opportunities for Roque or Uwe. | ||

Randy, Cloudberry Records released a 3 inch CD-R by Fever Hut back in October, 2007. Three tracks including Jean Paul Sartre, Frida and Diego and Kill Me Again. It is still available ( No. 052 in the 3 inch CD-R Single Series.) I have been looking for a copy of The Warmth of Vinyl for some time now without success. | ||

The Apartments - 21 The first song from the forthcoming record, available some 7 minutes into the broadcast below. You almost ask yourself how Peter Walsh can sing such a heartbreaking song (it is about the loss of his young son). In 2012 in Bordeaux, Amanda Brown said it was difficult to play it, "But it remains a beautiful song" "I carried you on my hip at first/I carried you on my shoulders/Carried you to a long black car/You will never get any older" http://www.francemusique.fr/emission/lab el-pop/2014-2015/julien-baer-et-philippe -katerine-pour-le-loup-est-un-loup-pour- l-homme-12-15-2014-22-30# | ||

The same transmission also reveals that a new Dominique A album will be out next March, good to know. Slim Smith - Hip hug Gorgeous creamy vocals. What a great voice this guy had. | ||

Fedez - Magnifico Ha, finally after a lifetime of rock & indie, it takes a smart, doe-eyed, rather over-tattoed Italian lad to bring me round to (a soft-pop) version of (Italian) rap: I like the particular tonality of his voice (and slight speech defect), the intelligent words ("Tonight I'll sleep on my favourite side... yours...") and the astutely melodic contribution from piano & female voice. Yeah, very nice. Will I head off to listen to 50cent now? Nah, probably not. | ||

Stuart, I love your descriptions of music I've never heard of, be it Italian rap, a Scottish woman on a talent show, or whatever. It never makes me want to hear them, but your passion for a broad range of product is infectious. (This possibly sounds like I'm being sarcastic. I assure you, I'm not.) | ||

"It never makes me want to hear them..." !! Just as well Sounds turned me down for that journalist job so many moons ago then... | ||

You've outlasted Sounds by 24 years and counting, Stuart, so you've had the last laugh. | ||

The Rosenbergs - Leech. Classic power pop from 1999, but I only discovered them recently and downloaded the EP this comes from from iTunes yesterday. | ||

De lucia/Di meola/Mclaughlin - Mediterranean Sun Dance I guess that few, if any, of us on the board are particular lovers of virtuosity, whether for its own sake or otherwise: but when tethered to immense good humour and a decent tune, as here, it’s good just to sit back and hold your breath. | ||

Randy, I have been an admirer of Flemming Borby for many years. Track from his debut album which was released back in 2002. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_tdtnxY6 ZD4 | ||

Very stylish, thanks Hugh. Their album "Instamatic Lovelife" came in my giant order from Firestation. On first pass, I opted to install only four tracks on iTunes. But definitely somebody worth examining. | ||

Randy, Here he is drumming with Greene ( Danish band ) back in 1993. From the album 'Teenage Museum' which was released in 1992. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7qy4k4VMf v0 | ||

Sorry for posting the late entry on this thread but yesterday (12/31) the iPod in my car pitched up a singularly suitable song for the day when I returned from lunch and pulled into the garage at work. Upon returning to the car to drive home, I immediately hit the "back" button to restart the half-played song: The Associates -- Party Fears Two |
