John  Ashtone (johnashtone) | 8 comments I was sorting some old 45s out, to sell on Ebay, when I turned up Bowie and 'Drive in Saturday' which brought back memories of Kenny Everett and his Sunday morning prog on the Beeb abck in the day.

Bunged it on full blast just to annoy the neighbours, to which our lass said she saw Mrs. Nextdoor did a quick boogie down the garden lol.

I might just chill out on the Settee this afternoon.

Or....

Any second now I start singing "The Boys are back in Town"

message 1911: by Andy (new)

Andy Elliott | 1446 comments Getting my folk groove in by investing into the 2010 re-release of Mike Oldfield's seminal Ommadawn. The world's number one proponent of hanging metallic pipes tinkered with the original masters so that some of the instruments that were lost in the 1975 mix have been moved to the foreground. It's not entirely successful, bit it's nice to hear such a clean version of one of my favorite albums of all time.

Included in the not quite deluxe release is a remaster of the original version which is what shows what a remarkable piece of music it is (especially the final eight minutes of part one). They've also unearthed a work in progress version, where Mr Oldfield begins telling "I say I say I say jokes" halfway through.

Have you come across the Australian duo touring the UK with Tubular Bells for Two? We caught them in Harrogate and they actually did part of Ommadawn as an encore. Impressive to see such a complex work rendered by two multi-instrumentalists and a bit of sample and hold pedalling.

Chris Ward (chriswardfictionwriter) | 40 comments Pixies new single - Bagboy. Brilliant stuff. Great to hear new music from them and really hoping they'll be a full album somewhere down the line, (Kim) Deal or no (Kim) Deal. See what I did there ...?! :-)

I hadn't heard of them but will definitely try and catch them when they play Edinburgh. As the sun is out and I have somehow arrived home from work early (it is Poets' Day after all), I'm in the garden blaring out Dusty In Memphis as a public service for the neighborhood.

Jud (judibud) | 16799 comments You know, I really don't rate Bette Midler. I don't even know who she is but I don't like listening to her unfortunately she is on 2 of my compilation CDs


message 1919: by Jud (new)

Jud (judibud) | 16799 comments Just googled her, she's more famous than I expected and there are other things she is in that she sounds better in. To be more specific I don't like her singing the 2 songs that she sings that I have on my iPhone.


message 1920: by Vanessa (aka Dumbo) (new)

Vanessa (aka Dumbo) (vanessaakadumbo) | 8459 comments I've been listening to a song from way back, 1983/4 called Suzanna by V.O.F. de Kunst, known as Art Company here in UK. I listen to the English version.

I used to have her stage show on video. Hilarious.

Try her version of Beast of Burden. For me, she's best when she's singing the blues, not those horrid ballads her management convinced her to try.

The teenagers that hang around the old band stand (which is not some weird art thing) in town always attempt to do this and i've always wondered what the hell it is. i feel educated

Elle (louiselesley) | 6579 comments I've been getting my fill of 2cellos all afternoon. I do enjoy a good instrumental. My favourite I think is either The Resistance, Orient Express or Technical Difficulties.

This is all you need, Elle: www.youtube.com/watch?v=3Zbh4bMK3PQ. It's a six minute tutorial by a sixteen year old kid called Emerald Supernova. There are only two basic moves:
--The running man
--The shuffle

Let us know how you get on ;-)

I'm going to a wedding at the weekend. Every man over fifty will be dancing like that.... But a bit slower I expect.

I honestly cannot dance to save my life!


message 1932: by Andy (new)

Andy Elliott | 1446 comments The sun's out so am sitting outside being harassed by monstrous gulls in an otherwise lovely park in the centre of Canterbury. My soundtrack is Kate Bush's very summery "Aerial" album. The presence of Rolf Harris on its second side is slightly uncomfortable. Should unpleasant revelations regarding a performer's past make us reappraise his or her work?


message 1933: by Jud (new)

Jud (judibud) | 16799 comments I've been doing the running man in nightclubs for years it was me and my pals signature move, we called it the little girl dance. I'm so cool I'm ahead of the kids

Impressed, Jud :-) Can you do it backwards, too? I'm practising backwards currently. Then I have to practise coming seamlessly in and out of the moves ... and then video myself for feedback. ...

Fantastic. It's quite hard, so your first attempt should be in public.
