Abba - When You Danced With Me. There's a real Irish/Scottish feel to this. Maybe more Scottish than Irish. A Celtic vibe, if you will. | ||

Ghostly kisses - J'ai demande a la lune https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wsc-XsSV qWY The first, and best song, on this live set, and the only one unfortunately sung in French. Written, a bit to my surprise, by Mickaël Furnon of the excellent Mickey 3D. Margaux Sauvé has a lush, low voice that is a pleasure to listen to. | ||

Originaly written for the dreadful (my opinion) Indochine. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KAOmC5qT 02w | ||

Bran Van 3000 - Drinking in L.A. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OQsQZvsR _QI Ha, I thought this was brand new, that’s what comes of not listening to the radio for about 30 years, a big hit in the late 90s it seems. A rich stew – is the guitar riff a sample or original? That and the beat really suck you in and the lazy, sad chorus seals the deal. | ||

Stuart, I’ve loved that since it came out. Hard to believe it’s almost a quarter century old. SOTD is Weightless And Wild by Jack Frost. It popped up when I asked my smart speaker to play music by Grant McLennan. Weightless And Wild is, of course, sung by Steve Kilbey. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9E_yks1U -50 | ||

McCoy Tyner – View From The Hill https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EsZ26V1y YTQ It was probably Andrew here who posted the thrilling live version of African Village some years back that introduced me to Tyner. I don’t listen to a lot of jazz and anything that features scat singing can induce a form of violent apoplexy but this is just beautiful, lyrical piano playing whatever the genre. | ||

Stuart, "African Village" doesn't ring any bells, but I'll have to take a look. Song of the day : Omer Avital and Yonathan Avishai - "A partir de demain" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QcM4r3TI ghg | ||

The Go! Team – The Wrath of Marcie Reading up on the Kitchen Sink movement for a lesson (and discovering to my surprise that Nell Dunn was born into the aristocracy), what better accompaniment than some kitchen sink music? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aWvgPzfR eMY | ||

Glenn Mercer - Days to Come Not a bad solo album (2007) from The Feelies co-leader. Something about their sound (the double guitars and extra percussion) that I have always loved. | ||

Dean Jones & Susan Browning – Barcelona RIP, the great Mr Sondheim. Probably I’d heard Send in the clowns a zillion times previously thanks to Judy Collins, but it was this funny and beautiful little mini-drama that got me buying his original soundtracks. This version taken from a fascinating documentary, not so much “putting on a show” as “getting the damn recording done” but with that same sense of wonderful theatrical tension. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=04zBxmsE 7zw | ||

Nice one, Fred! To paraphrase a critic on Fleming’s Dr No, “[It] appealed to all my jangliest instincts and appealed to them successfully.” Sounds like one to buy. | ||

Subway Sect - Split Up the Money https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WHhQh3hs Ilw I'm afraid this is where my sentiment is today. | ||

Bertrand Belin – Sous les lilas https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZLAjqboV ufA Stupendously minimalist track from the deepest voice in European music. |
