Music Library [PART 2]

Thanks for the update Stan. Great stuff. I well remember watching this brilliant performance on transmission 30 years ago.

The Jam - A Bomb in Wardour Street.

Simply one of the 'tightest' and best bands ever.

Now that it looks like we've turned a corner and are indeed heading into Spring, it's time to dust off some of my favorite tunes to have playing when I go for a drive.

Joe Satriani - Surfing With the Alien

yup, spring... they're calling for up to a foot of snow here by morning. (probably only 3 inches or so right here...)

ah, spring.

Cheer up, Konstantin. The vernal equinox is only 20 days away.

Indeed. I wish they'd stop calling for the snow. If we stayed quiet, it might ignore us.

Creedence Clearwater Revival - Have You Ever Seen The Rain?

The music of our spring.

A bit of loveliness from Okkervil River's folky sister...

Shearwater - Rooks

Not too subtle, but cool anyway:

Yeah Yeah Yeahs - Gold Lion

The Only Ones - Creature Of Doom

It's time to finish my run through the alphabet with a short-lived post-(and pre-)Pumpkins group:

Zwan - Honestly

Danish awesome.

Mew - Am I Wry? No

great song...surprised he's not on ze list....

Tom Waits- Going Out West

Elvis Presley - Blue Moon

Is this the first Elvis song? I think Elvis recorded some of the world's best music surrounded by some of its worst. I like this because it sounds like it was recorded at the back of an aircraft hanger by a ghost.

What's your opinion of Elvis? *points*

You going through every country now?

Oh, if only! I don't know enough music from enough countries to do that sadly, but I wish I did!

he LIVES!


Elvis Presley - Burning Love

*coughs*

No, he's dead after a 66,000 volt shock barnaby - it may just be the wrong link methinks!

Moving swiftly on, here's what may be considered a bizarre choice, but it has very special significance to Mrs C=O and myself. Having signed the register at St. Peter-in-Eastgate getting on for 20 years ago, we walked down the aisle as man and wife for the first time to this totally brilliant composition.

Carl Davis - Champions.

Don't bother with the video, just indulge yourself in the grand piano and the Royal Liverpool Philharmonic Orchestra.

John Cooper Clarke - I Married A Monster From Outer Space

Probably my favourite lyrics ever - certainly the only ones I can quote the whole way through that aren't "I'm met him at a party and my heart stood still da do ron ron ron ron da do ron ron"

Teddy Magnus - Flying Machine

Bit tinny, this version, but never mind.

Here's a song I loved when it was played at the University but I didn't identify until, uh, yesterday.

Cornershop - Brimful of Asha

Little Richard - Keep a Knockin

Come back tomorrow night and try again

Super Furry Animals - Sidewalk Serfer Girl

Teddy Magnus - Beautiful Sunday

I'm looking forward to the summer when I'm be playing this on my ghettoblaster in a park with a Carling in one hand, and next Carling lined-up in the other, chatting with my friends about the poor quality of music since we turned 20. Rock and Roll.

I didn't realise I'd only put it's sequel up, so...

iLiKETRAiNS - BEFORETHECURTAiNSCLOSE - PART i

I wonder how many of these songs have been shot down by the youtube music police. Never mind, eh. It's far more important that the international music companies survive than I enjoy my Monday morning...

Tim Buckley - Morning Glory
