Eric Clapton - Little wing Live in San Diego surrounded by a blue chip bunch of musicians and sounding like he's having a whale of a time; a sublime version of this song. | ||

Damien Jurado - Radioactivity. Jurado sounds remarkably like John Cale on this. | ||

Blur - The horrors Breezy little piano instrumental on the 2nd CD of the Great Escape special edition, after being nudged back there by Pádraig's recent post. So it took me 20 years to come round to them, at least it was worth waiting for. | ||

Madness - House Of Fun. A song that can instantly transport me back 35 years or so. | ||

Nada - Senza Un Perché Paolo Sorrentino sends Nada’s 2004 song (produced by John Parish) straight to the top of I-tunes with this rather splendid scene. I thought Youth was bloody awful, so I’ve given the Yong Pope a miss; but a lot of folk tell me it’s wonderful. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=frIN-BIm ML0 | ||

The Orange Humble Band – Sowannadoit. Something just reminded me of this song. I'm glad it did. | ||

Richard Davies - Cantina. This song was released almost 20 years ago. I've played it a lot of times since then. | ||

Enemies - itsallwaves. Irish band, track one from their new and last album. I'd never heard of them till I saw the review in the Irish Times last Friday. | ||

Piano Magic - "Attention To Life" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W-HfTEMR HYU Guest vocals by one Peter Milton Walsh, and strings arranged by Audrey Riley. Beautiful! | ||

Hi Andrew, really wonderful! How could you find that? All the best to everyone on the board! | ||
| Andrew Kerr Member Username: Andrew_k Post Number: 1123 Registered: 04-2005 |
All the best to you too Andreas ! No great detective work, it was on his Facebook page! https://www.facebook.com/theapartments Have you heard of the group before (Piano Magic) ? New to me. | ||
| Pádraig Collins Member Username: Pádraig_collins Post Number: 8084 Registered: 05-2005 |
Thanks, Andrew. Piano Magic have been around - mostly under the radar - for 20 years. The Peter Walsh song is from their supposedly final album, which is being released in early 2017. They are based in London. The only time they almost broke through to public consciousness was around 2000 when they signed to 4AD for a couple of albums. | ||

Melody Pool - Romantic Things, from Deep Dark Savage Heart, one of my favourite records of this year. | ||

I'm in a very heavy Marta Kubisova thing now, having taken delivery of a very good 6 CD anthology of hers. For this one light your torches and hang on. From 1965. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ac9SnW5F Hao | ||

And she's "a thoughtful avenue"! Nice! Not much to lose on all those CDs then?? | ||
| Randy Adams Member Username: Randy_adams Post Number: 3704 Registered: 03-2005 |
Stuart, there's an English language single-disc set called "Ne!" which I think horribly disserves her. It focuses on one tiny--and often not-that-good--chunk of her work. Then there's a 3CD set which includes a bunch of so far not interesting recordings she's done since the breakup of the Warsaw Pact. The good set--and of course you'll have to cull--is the 6CD "Zlata Sedesata" set. It's really pretty damn good. I got it from a seller in Germany for a quite reasonable price. Alternatively I could just send you the tracks I've earmarked for sending on two CDs to the friend who turned me onto Mina some 25 years ago. | ||

Well, now, if you be offering there, Mr A... | ||

Soul Saints Orchestra - Santa's Got A Bag Of Soul. They sound like a Detroit band from the 60s, but they are actually a German band from the 90s. I just read about it today and bought it from iTunes without even hearing it. Worth every cent. | ||

The New Mendicants - A Very Sorry Christmas | ||
| Andrew Kerr Member Username: Andrew_k Post Number: 1125 Registered: 04-2005 |
Status Quo - Down Down RIP Rick Parfitt. Boogie on. I had the denim waistcoat and I'm there somewhere on "Quo Live" recorded at the Glasgow Apollo. We were in the "Gods" for the gig and I remember being terrified at how much the balcony moved when the band hit the stage. | ||

Wham - Last Christmas. Most of their and George Michael's music is not my cup of tea, but this is. | ||
| Pádraig Collins Member Username: Pádraig_collins Post Number: 8104 Registered: 05-2005 |
Simple Minds - Glittering Prize, acoustic version. I really did not think this would work so well acoustically, but it does. | ||
| Simon Withers Member Username: Sfwithers Post Number: 397 Registered: 08-2005 |
Mental as Anything - Live it Up (featuring the grea Reg Mombassa) And though not a huge fan of the music of either Rick Parfitt or Wham!, this year does seem to be finishing the year the way it started. (At least actress Liz Smith and writer Richard Adams reached decent ages.) | ||

Go-Betweens - When She Sang About Angels. Happy 70th Birthday, Patti Smith. She will be performing the entire "Horses" album in Chicago tonight, the city of her birth. | ||

Alvaro Soler – El mismo sol My wife developed a rather sickly crush on this charming and intelligent Catalan lad when he was a judge on this year’s Italian X-factor, while I couldn’t help admiring his intense and hard-working devotion to his musical charges and deep love of music in general… picking up a guitar and immersing himself in an old blues song, you could see there was a bit more to him than the teen-fodder he’s being marketed as. This, anyway, is a hellishly catchy little number that will no doubt get a bit of a bashing this evening around midnight. |
