The Fall - Barmy. Presumably Keith Richards didn’t think it was worth his while suing Mark E Smith over this (brilliant) rip off of Satisfaction. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AwCZu9O- H0M | ||

The Lovely Basement - What I Like Kickoff (and kick butt) Dylanesque tune on their second album “Lazy Travelers.” Two minutes and four seconds is enough to namecheck Cable Street and Tony Benn. Bristol is the place to be in musical Britain now. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xBN8r3qG yoo | ||

The American Analog Set - Aaron & Maria / The Postman https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pGsIFVDf EVI https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nYqgH1Wj 49o I could not decide between these two so I have posted both. From the band's fourth album ( Know By Heart.) | ||

La Luz - Poppies Seem to have really come into their own with the last album, creamy harmonies over surf-rock guitar. Poppies is the final song on this live selection. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dkbfAKQd Wqs | ||

Throwing Muses - Summer of Love Fantastic new song from the wondrous Kristin Harsh and the Throwing Muses. One of my favourite songwriters and what a voice! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CGWYzAj9 sSI I last saw the Throwing Muses at the now-closed Bristol Bierkeller in 1989 or 1991. It was a long time ago... Though I've seen her play solo gigs since then, including at the Bath Library for her book launch. | ||

That is a great song, Simon. I first saw Throwing Muses supporting R.E.M. in Great Woods, Massachusetts in 1989. They were brilliant. I subsequently saw them in Dublin and her saw KH solo in Austin and Sydney. All powerful shows. | ||

ZZ TOP – Asleep in the desert A lovely, peaceful little instrumental, apparently recorded just before they took a 2-year break to let their trademark beards sprout. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k1-bXP8F fK8 | ||

Edwyn Collins – Knowledge https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wS6P7B0t 9G4 New album on the way, too. | ||

Has to be a wee tribute to Garth Hudson. The professor, the teacher to The Band. We've lost the last member of that illustrious group. King Harvest (Has Surely Come) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8AkmZGWk tdg | ||

Sometimes a simple rock/pop song with three part harmonies is all you need. The Deep Blue - How About It? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B7KIy-nu kxk&t=261s | ||

Their three CDEPs ordered. Thanks Pádraig. They are stupendously tight. As you can well imagine there's precious little harmony at the moment over here on my part of my continent. | ||

Lana del Ray – Video games I thought this was an extraordinary debut when it came out, not only a brilliant song but sort of setting up a template for her image and future career, much as Wuthering Heights did for Kate Bush, though with Lana it’s all about the yearning victim/flirtatious femme fatale mix in the voice and lyrics. I’ll still stop what I’m doing to listen whenever it comes on, and last time what caught my attention was the military marching drum figure that comes in at one point, one of the many colourful production touches. So I thought I’d read up a bit more on the craftsmanship that went into the song, which lead me to this article, which tells me far more than I could ever want to know or hope to understand about the mechanics of the process, if not so much about the origins of the song itself, maybe that will be described elsewhere. Co-producer Daniel Omelio, recounting his “epic (6-hour) orchestration and mix session", comments, “Perhaps it was the drummer in me, but I felt that it needed something to push it along, so I selected these American Revolution-type marching snare rolls that give a different and perhaps unexpected feel. I also added an 808 subkick, because a lot of Lana's album is very hip-hop orientated. I was fishing around for sounds and heard this 808 sub which almost sounds like a bomb going off, and maybe it was because of the American Revolution snare drum part, but that low-end explosion really seemed to fit.” Well, tech-heads among you will know what he’s on about. https://www.soundonsound.com/techniques/ robopop-producing-lana-del-reys-videogam es | ||

Love and Money – The Last Ship On The River “Supergroups” tend not to amount to more than the sum of their parts, if that, but Butler, Blake, Grant sound like a very pleasant proposition and songs like this one are always worth reviving. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EoSfeeLg eio |
