Now onto Elton John - Blue Moves. One of the best things he ever did, although it was quite a low key affair. People may remember Crazy Water and Sorry Seems To Be The Hardest Word. But in actual fact the best tracks from my point of view are One Horse Town and Chameleon. Elton John at his best, which let's be fair, wasn't bad at all.

 

 

Is that the Elton album with Shoorah and TOnight on....if it is, they are my favourite songs. Haven't heard it for years

Kraftwerk - Autobahn was brilliant. I was tempted to turn the record over and play side 2 [yes it's vinyl], but I haven't played side 2 since the late 1980's and I wasn't going to do it now.

 

Anyway, now my rather bad condition LP of Solid Air by John Martyn has hit the platter. And rather glorious it is too. I have two copies. This one's the ex-wife's who gave me hers.

And now it's Soft Cell's - The Singles.

 

I just find Marc Almond's english rendition of vocals, rather than mid-atlantic, so brilliant and refreshing. It's a factor of his singing that has never diminished. The music on this album is pure and heartfelt. I bought it sometime in 1987, I think, and I haven't played it for perhaps 10 or more years, yet it still moves my emotions, like it did when I first heard it.

 

Crikey, it's a greatest hits album, and it has real depth to the songs. Now that's probably a first.

I'm on a roll here. I've dug out an old classic: Booker T and The MG's - Universal Language.

 

Of course, totally instrumental, but great sounds. This is after all that Green Onions and Test Match Special [soul Limbo] stuff, but of a similar vein. Actually, it's a lot better than those tracks, and the Hammond organ sound rings out beautifully.

Oh dear, I've dipped into my collection of BBC Goon Show LPs. This one is The Missing No.10 Downing Street. Here's an example of the script:

 

Major Bloodnok: 5.30[am] and Private Bog hasn't returned yet. Still too dark to see.

 

Mystery voice: [singing] I travel the road... who cares...

 

Major Bloodnok: Fan me blintz, who is it..? Hands up..!

 

Mystery voice: I can't put my hands up, I'm...

 

Major Bloddnok: HANDS UP OR I FIRE..!

 

Mystery Voice: OK..! ARRGH..! [Crash]

 

Major Bloodnok: Now what's happened..?

 

Mystery Voice: I was riding a bike..! [audience laughter]

 

Major Bloodnok: Come here. Ooooh..! Flourish me fabula..!

 

Mystery Voice: [high pitched] OLOLOLOLOLOLO..!

 

Major Bloodnok: Thank you..! Who are you, you ragged looking goon..?

 

Mystery Voice: Oh, are um, I'm a barrrrgh, I'm a policeman..!

 

Major Bloodnok: If you're a policeman, I'm Marilyn Monroe..!

 

Policeman [Eccles]: Oh WOOOOOWWWWWW..!

 

Major Bloodnok: Put me down at once..! [Audience laughter]

 

Policemen [Eccles]: Wait a minute, turn round.. [looks]... You're not Marilyn Monroe..!

 

Major Bloodnok: I told you I wasn't..! What a bitter disappointment to us both..!

 

and so on.

 

Be gentle with this comedy. It actually directly inspired Monty Python, and then almost every modern british comedy thereafter. It also looks iffy on paper but is much more comical with 3 geniuses playing with it.

Florence and the machine - Lungs

 

Quality album, thought i would give it a go and very pleased with myself, beautifully haunting voice that is equally powerful mixed with harp playing, decent guitaring and some very good lyrics.

 

Quality

 

Word, only checked them out the other weekend, wished I had done before. Rabbit Heart is awesome.

 

Now playing Pink Floyd - Wish You Were Here. Sweet album.

Oooh look a stalker. Not sure what you are trying to prove (other than you are a saddoe with too much time on your hands).I get ideas off Pitchfork (its a great resource) but also from Rock A Rolla magazine, The Wire,Drowned In Sound,Specialten magazine,Boomkat, The Freak Zone on Radio 6 and so on.

Anyway I am so ****ing cool I am often ahead of Pitchfork for example I bigged up Baroness The Blue album on 2nd October they didnt review it until Nov 3rd.

Look it up I know you will lol !

The 5 years of Hyperdub compilation.

 

I'm especially loving Aidy's Girl's A Computer by Darkstar.

 

Don't see what all the fuss is about with Florence & The Machine. Yes, she's got an amazing voice but her songs are cynically over produced and cleverly aimed at the sort of market that love to lap up the sort of kooky image she portrays. Her original demos are far better than anything she's released since the record companies came along waving money and promises in her face.

 

Oh, and if I hear that cover of You've Got The Love once more on 6 Music I'm kicking my digital radio out the kitchen window.

 

And oh again - Boomkat can prove an expensive habit.

The Best of the Move - The Move (featuring Roy Wood, Jeff Lynne and Bev Bevan). Stuff from 1966 to 1972. Often strange hybrid of heavy rock and dainty, psychedelic pop.

 

 

Smiling Phases - Traffic (featuring Steve Winwood, Jim Capaldi, Dave Mason and Chris Wood). A double CD compilation of some of their best from1968 to 1974. Interesting melange of psychedelic pop, folk, blues and jazz.

I recently managed to buy "Birthday Party" by "Idle Race" - Jeff Lynnes first band. I had it on vinyl back in the early 70`s and it`s brilliant!
