Robert Forster - Songwriters on the run One good thing about a ten-track, 39 minute album is you can get through the whole thing during lunch hour and still have time left for a stroll round the park... | ||

Al Di Meola - Blackbird Two things I rarely listen to are jazz guitar and the music of the Beatles. Al here brings both of these together and it turns out to be ravishingly gorgeous. | ||

Gene Clark/Carla Olson - Fair and Tender Ladies - heard this one the other night. A traditional Appalachian folk song. Very nice song imho. | ||

The Orchestra – Let Me Dream. The Orchestra, for those who don't know them, is most of ELO, with Parthenon Huxley replacing Jeff Lynne. | ||

The Proposition - The Women Who'll Love You. The female vocals on this track are far better than the male vocals on all the preceding songs. | ||

My Bloody Valentine – Soon (Andrew Weatherall Mix). Sometimes I think it's the greatest 12" remix ever. | ||

The Chills - Heavenly Pop Hit (just watched an amazing/disturbing live version on Youtube - Auckland 2008, complete with live dancers. Martin's voice is shot to blazes but it's such a great song it survives). | ||

Nick Cave – Into My Arms. It's on an 18-year-old mix tape I was playing while washing the dishes. I had no idea it was on the tape. It's the first Nick Cave song I heard since his son died. The lyrics sound like they could have been written for his child, but of course they were written before he was even born. | ||

Bertrand Belin- Hypernuit https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bvpp6zAS pbI This beautiful song popped up on France-Inter this morning, during a program about melancholy...followed by a program all about the meat of the black pig of the Pyrénées. All life is on French radio. | ||

Van Morrison - I'll be your lover too First time I've ever heard His band and the street choir, I think. Certainly, for a grumpy old buggerlugs, he has come up with some extravagantly glorious love songs. | ||

House of Love - The Futureheads (as somebody says on Youtube: it's not a better cover of the original but rather a very different cover that is good. Couldn't have put it better myself). And it's my song of the day... two steps on the water... | ||

Nicolas Paugam - Sous La Houlette More French radio. His voice is a little outside my comfort zone but I do like the brassy South American vibe and brisk scuttering rhythm. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gTEfCLos m-E | ||

That should of course have been HOUNDS of Love (and I hadn't even been drinking...) | ||
| Pádraig Collins Member Username: Pádraig_collins Post Number: 7554 Registered: 05-2005 |
So, House Of Love don't have a song called The Futureheads? Disappointed. | ||
