Felt - Me And A Monkey On The Moon

 

Love Felt, saw them supporting the Cocteau Twins at the Royal Festival Hall, must have been just after they'd released The Splendour of Fear.

 

 

Was in the kitchen tidying up the kids breakfast things jigging around to Morphine earlier; Like Swimming, in particular Murder For The Money. Timeless.

I'm impressed/jealous.

Well that dried up quite quickly, and so I'm listening to The Only Living Boy In New York which can only be followed by So Long Frank LLoyd Wright. Then who knows. It's a day of waiting for phone calls to come back, and then I have to respond pronto, so a lot of listening is going to happen today.

 

Perhaps it's time for bash on the Epiphone.

I was going back a few years today at work and was giving 18 Wheeler (Year Zero) a bit of dust off which led (through the Dave Keenan link) to the Telstar Ponies; In the Space of Few Minutes getting an airing. Haven't listened to these for years.

Got in and the late evening started off brightly with the album Rattus Norvegicus. What a great return. It was a split decision between that and No More Heroes, and it won.

Joe Jackson got another look in with the whole of I'm The Man. Then goodness knows why, I went onto Donovan with tracks like Catch The Wind and Jersey Thursday. Perhaps it's because I've been thinking of the the ex-missus of late, as she's been quite ill in NZ, and it'll be a long time until I see her again.

 

Of course XTC made an appearance. It would be criminal if something penned by Andy Partridge or Colin Moulding didn't do something for my soul, so Yacht Dance went on. If someone said, write the perfect lilting sailing song, this would be it. How AP gets the precise rhythm of a bobbing boat into music I'll never know.

 

And now I've finished with music, and am listening to a radio drama version of Mutiny On The Bounty with the late Oliver Reed as Captain Bligh. It stays very, very close to the novel written by Charles Nordoff and James Norman Hall, which is all the complete public account there is. Great stuff too. Love sea adventures, and this one is as adventurous as they get.

Today I've been listening to two contrasting genres:

 

Salt Tank; Science and Nature, ambient trippy stuff to see the day gently in followed by;

 

Jenny Lewis with the Watson Twins; Rabbit Fur Coat. An indie/country sound.

I'm listening to "The Sound of Wailing and Gnashing Teeth". A compilation CD of TSF members, season 2008/9.
