Stiff Little Fingers - Suspect Device

[saintbletch]

Here's one for you:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xjUA3RU4B8E

I'll not say who it is but give it a listen and whilst listening have a think about how far we have supposedly come. This music, like punk and rock n roll, is from the hearty of people who are ****ed off with politicians, royalty rulemakers in general and the like.

Well, I like it. Actually, it almost brought a tear to my eye ('almost' I said).


Nice call hamster. F**k me, Billy didn't mince words did he..? So refreshing to hear that nowadays, when attitudes have hardly progressed a single iota. I have a Billy Bragg album around somewhere. I'll dig it out, or go Youtubing.

EDIT: Off my album - It Says Here (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RunXQq6cf3U)

Love it! Billy Bragg is my all time musical hero. Well I always felt it was good to be able to sing better than one's heroes.

He taught me to play guitar, helped me over many a relationship breakup, gave me a life-long love of language, showed me the relevance of politics and drummed into me the importance of compassion for your fellow man.

I don't always agree with him but love him or hate him, very few people can craft a lyric like this man.

Very relevant following the election his Days Like These (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u5X5hsevHUI) is a general comment on the apathy of the electorate, and specifically a call to arms to remove Thatcher's conservative party from power.

This clip taken from "The Tube" from the Red Wedge era and is complete with guitar/amp failure near the end.

[SuperMikey]

Been watching a lot of French TV recently with my French exams coming up, and came across this guy performing on TV5 (who do a show called Acoustic in which they get a lot of bands in to do sessions, think Jools Holland but with more garlic).

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IW_L9Vz2Alk

I like him, although he's quite bubblegum. He sounds kind of like a modern day James Brown imo...

[Hamilton Saint]

Miles Ahead by Miles Davis (1957) - the first of several collaborations with Gil Evans (composer, arranger and band leader). Davis is the soloist; Evans arranges and conducts a 19-piece big band. Great stuff!

I have also ordered this.
I am seeing them at The Royal Albert Hall in June. I first got into JB`s music back in the early 70`s when I saw him play "For a Dancer" with David Lindley on "The Old Grey Whistle Test". 1976:- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IU1rZa8Ur_Q

2006:- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=12E3EgTXk1A&feature=related

I was immediately hooked and have been ever since. Have all of his albums and "Late For the Sky" is my all-time favourite album.

I saw the two of them in concert at The Riverboat (a folk club in Toronto) ca. 1973. I'm also a big fan. My favourite albums are Late For The Sky (from the early period) and I'm Alive (from the more recent stuff). I have to admit that I lost interest a bit in his more overtly political period on the 80s (Lawyers in Love, World in Motion, Hold Out, Live in the Balance). I much prefer his songs about personal relationships.

Browne's and Lindley's tour continues across the U.S., after they're done in the UK. No dates announced yet, though, for eastern Canada. I hope they make it to this part of the world!

Arcade Fire - The Suburbs/Month of May

Been watching BBC Guitar Heroes for the last half hour or so. Saw Michael Chapman playing a tune called Wellington The Skellington.

She had such an beautiful voice.
I've just got hold of 'Come to My Garden' which features the totally gorgeous 'Les Fleur' (which was covered by 4Hero).

Before her successful solo career she was in an experimental psychedelic soul band called 'Rotary Connection'.
The band was the brainchild of Marshall Chess (who's father Leonard founded Chess Records) and they released their self-titled debut album in 1967.
Their albums are pretty rare and expensive (I've seen the debut album on CD go for £100!!) but there is a a pretty good 'best of' compilation called 'Black Gold' that is as cheap as chips and well worth picking up. (Just don't tell Manji).

You boring ****s.

some of us prefer stuff that does not require the listener to be pilled up to the eyeballs. Only joshing, I expect that peopel from our era are quite likely pilled up for medical reasons, which does in fact make us boring I suppose as there is a world of differnce between choosing to take drugs and having to take them.

Just heard about the death of Chris Sievey of the Freshies/Frank Siddebotham.

so listening to a few Freshies singles. Always loved the Freshies take on life, my kids even loved "octopus" when they were young.

Really talented bloke, who made some terrific records. "Wrap up the rockets" sounds as fresh and relevant as it did when it was released.

Listening to a ton of old-school hip hop lately. Biz Markie, MC Shan, Kool G Rap & Polo, Marley Marl, Pete Rock & CL Smooth, Run DMC, Roxanne Shante, Ultramagnetics, 3rd Bass, Boogie Down.

And incidentally, if anyone would like to hear me spin loads of this sort of stuff, as well as rap and hip hop from every era, I will be doing my thing in Goblets on the 10th of July - it should be a cracker.

Thanks. Yes, I'm very familiar with that track. I'm a big Roy Harper fan - got half-a-dozen of his LPs on vinyl. I didn't realise, though, that it was the Grimethorpe Colliery Band on that track. By the way, in North America the HQ album was re-titled When An Old Cricketer Leaves the Crease and the cover art and photographs have a cricket theme. I used to play that track a lot when I was a DJ for my university's radio station.

Don't be such a music snob, Ludwig. Listening to a 'Best of' is a great way for manji to get into these bands he hasn't heard of before. manji, I would recommend 'Doppelganger' and 'Cuckoo' once you get a feel for Curve's more commercial stuff.

Anna Von Hausswolff – Singing From The Grave (http://open.spotify.com/album/0zTW5KPhvQtZwyhcsjfzMv)

Brilliant album from the next big thing in Swedish music. I would describe her as halfway between Laura Marling and Kate Bush, very heartfelt and emotional songs but also very well written songs. Get in there quick before everyone else does!

[Bentley]

Big Boi - Sir Lucious Left Foot... The Son of Chico Dusty - Very good.

Chima Anya - New Day - Album of the year so far for me.

Bombay Bicycle Club - Flaws - Oh, how appropriate an album title. Easily the worst album I've heard this year. Fortunately given to me from free promo, I feel for those who spent money on it.

[St Landrew]

One of those bands who I used to occasionally buy singles and nothing else from were The Move. Truth is, I've always had a soft spot for anything Roy Wood was involved in, because he was a pop record writing master, and because he was a rocking bugger too. He's probably most famous, to many people, for Wizzard, but his bands were so much more than that. They were laced with upbeat, progressive pop numbers, with a hint of humour, and as catchy as hell. From The Move, I love Fire Brigade, Blackberry Way, but my favourite is Brontosaurus. Have a go:

Electric Light Orchestra..? Pah..! ;)

No, they were OK. They certainly were a part of going to The Cowherds pub. It was Art For Art's Sake [10CC] and Living Thing, as I remember, that was forever on that bloody jukebox. Of course, I never selected those tracks, having an appreciation of a rather more heightened expression of musical flavours, by then. :D

There's a bit of echo on the original track. Try playing them ever-so-slightly out of sync and get a concert-hall effect.

Sly and the Family Stone: excellent band.
Mainly remembered for 'It's a Family Affair' on the 'There's a Riot Goin On' album and 'Everyday People' from 'Stand!'.
Often overlooked is their debut album from 1967 (such a good year for music) 'A Whole New Thing'; this is my personal favourite.
It's from that transitionary period when soul was starting to morph into funkier more experimental areas (mirroring the change in rock and pop) as artists began trying psychedelics!

I agree with your comment about Sly's voice, incredible.
I would have to say JB or Eddie Bo are just as funky, and what about George Clinton????
Is there a funkier band that Funkadelic / Parliament?

Nope.
