 Hi all, Tonight's post was inspired partly by the flowers I saw on my travels....and then by the play on C4 "The Unloved" which meant i cried for the second time today. It's a weepy so get the hankies if you're watching. Oh yes, back to the point. It featured music by Patrick Wolf and I had to listen to it... and I loved it!...It's eclectic too.... Patrick Wolf "The Bluebell" Youtube Link This one was on the radio just as i pulled up facing them....it's beautiful... Patrice Rushen "Forget Me Nots" Youtube Link Give it an 'Earing. 'Ere. All the best Tamara

Hi all, This was a wonderful post ...and a fantastic video. Dave Dee, Dozy, Beaky, Mick and Titch "Bend It" Youtube Link Just after this was posted i got an email which said "Really so sweet fun.this track same greece music to 'sirtaki'.." So check that observation out! Andre Reiu etc... "Sirtaki". This is the dance music which was written for The Great Zorba.......It's an orchestral knees up which has to be seen to be believed...

Hi all, a couple of fun songs... William Gallison and Madeleine Peyroux "Shoulda Known" Spotify Only. An Aesop's Tale -equivalent about a Shiny Black Scorpion and a Big Green Frog.....set to music....I was enthralled. Youtube Link "Between the Bars" which is a cover of Elliot Smith's oiginal. Youtube Link Alexander Rybak "Fairytale" This is the magical song that was the Norwegian Grand Final winning entry in the 2009 Eurovision Song Contest in Moscow. An unbelievable fact. This is more believable Alexander Rybak composed, wrote and performed this song. The song was inspired by Rybak’s memories of a former girlfriend, Ingrid Berg Mehus. The guys dancing or is it tumbling? are worth watching again..... Youtube link Give it an 'Earing. 'Ere. all the best Tamara

From Texas, this guys got a unique style...through song, he storytelling style creates real-life characters and scenarios ....and boy the story's gonna get ya! this song and several others on his Myspace Link both links give you ........the soldiers tale of "Cheney's Toy" and then the elderly "Ruby and Carlos"'s story........On Spotify here is the whole album....

Hi all, Three songs tonight.. The first Thanks...for this one, Danger Danger with "It's One Step From Paradise" -Together, We'll find paradise some day... The Small Faces "Ogden's Nut Gone Flake".....This track is a small taster of a great album and avoids the lunacy and Stanley Unwin They didn't and still don't come much more nut gone flake than that, ..it's total insanity and pure genius....I will be forever endebted to the guy who told me about this... and of course the retailer who sold it to me.... Great news the Youtube video includes Stanley Baldwin.. Youtube Lnk Gene "Haunted By You" Then a lesser known group "Gene" who were influenced by the aforementioned Small Faces and ...Style Council, Clash and The Jam... see what you make of them. ...They had a lead singer with Morrissey-ish looks... Oh well see what you make of them They were often compared to The Smith's....so it's an apt title...still doing it... Youtube Link Great house! Give it an 'Earing. 'Ere. all the best Tamara

Hi all, Ever worried about cattle and greenhouse gas emissions? Well, accordng to this BBC News Northern Ireland report perhaps we have reason to worry. "It turns out that in a single day a cow can burp and belch a staggering 400 litres of methane into the atmosphere. A discreet inquiry reveals that most of the gas comes out of the cow's mouth - well over 90% apparently T Rex" Life's A Gas" Youtube link fron BBC recordings The Premiers "Farmer John"..(Live) This is raucous.sound due to the select band of "fans"......They were the authors of the song. It dates back to early 60's..but I bet you're more familiar with Neil Young''s version Youtube Link clearly a 1964 Warner Brothers label 45 spinning on a Sony turntable... ..they look like a bunch of nice guys after this girl.... all the best Tamara

I remember Luxembourg. Very phasey station that I listened to when the Medium Wave seemed acceptable and you could still get the mainstream radio channels on there too. Apparently, the power that they had to use to put out even that poor signal was considered huge in it's day. I think when I listened to that, it was before I'd even heard stereo.
|

Hi Chris, Everyone tells me it was the radio station they listened to under the bedclothes pretending to be asleep so that no one knew.... something about poor reception...from the station and parents too if they were found out. all the best Tamara

Hi all Cat Stevens "On The Road To Find Out" from Tea For The Tillerman album. I've always loved his voice.....his newer albums as Yusuf Islam have lost the naiver acoustic sounds... and the imploring voice...so I've chosen to visit the past with his track.. [b]Youtube link[/b] In 2007, the album was included in the list of "The Definitive 200 Albums of All Time", released by The National Association of Recording Merchandisers and the Rock Hall of Fame. Grizzly Bear "Blackcurrant Jam" They are a Brooklyn based indie Rock band. They opened for Radiohead on the 2nd leg of their US tour. and became Johnny Greenwood's favourite band... This track was only released on "Worried Noodles"a compilation album. Spotify Only. .... Youtube Link to Knife - The video is fascinating .... Look out for "Yellow House" and "Veckatimest" albums. Give it an 'Earing. 'Ere. all the best Tamara
