Robert Forster - I love myself

Everyone seemed to predict this would be the ugly duckling of the disc, but just look at that swan fly! The moment that pacy guitar strum starts, I'm hooked. Hilarious lyric. Oh for a Rod Stewart cover version.

Robert Forster - 2541

The good thing about great new stuff is that it takes you back to great old stuff..

Cocteau Twins - The Spangle Maker

Goodness knows when I last spun this 12". Veritable cathedrals of sound.

I love that song, Simon. The Jam had so many great b-sides.

Cattle & Cane – Come Home. They are English, but sound Australian. More Boy & Bear than Go-Betweens though.

Alain Bashung - La nuit je mens

I don't have many regrets, but not going to see Bashung in 2008 when he played 20 minutes down the road from me is a big one. His concert was in the central square of the most beautiful bastide village in SW France, Monpazier.

The same in my little town.
I remember hearing 'Madame ręve' from a pub's terrace located a hundred meters of the place of the concert. I nearly could have heard it in my garden.

Robert Forster - A Poet Walks!

At the moment this is THE highlight of the record.
I love the tempo, it's going forward and the lyrics - just love it :-)

Stuart is touring through my territory. "The Crying Game" of course is all about Big Jim Sullivan's weeping guitar. Dave Berry's de minimus vocal chops are, well, . . . .

I didn't know the Lobsters had a revival album, though I suppose I shouldn't be surprised. And I can always get behind "Le nuit je mens" and "A Poet Walks."

"Lights of Cincinnati"? I swear I've heard of that but I can't find it in my collection.

Both Geoff Stephens co-writes, an English Tin Pan Alley specialist. "Lights", one of those big luscious ballads Scott did so well in his youth.

Meanwhile, veering sharply out of Adamsland...!

HF Thiefaine - " Des Adieux "

HubertFelix is another singer at his best in the boomingly mournful Cohenesque ballad and this evocative farewell to central London is a beaut.

Ah. Geoff Stephens and Tony Macaulay. Yes, they cranked out a LOT of songs together and separately. I wonder why "Lights of Cincinnati" never found its way onto one of Walker's albums? It also failed to get onto "Boy Child." Grrrrrr!

Youtube can sometimes be amusing. It automatically sent me next to "Thanks for Chicago" presumably continuing with that Walker and American cities theme.

MGMT - Time to pretend

Ingenious choice for one of the bands on last night's X-factor: stonking pop song completely new to me.
