I went to see Morcheeba last night, open air gig, so the sound was a bit compromised but they were great. Her voice is faultless live.
Been listening to their music for 25 years and I'd never really appreciated how guitar based their music is, but seeing some of the noises coming out of the guitar from my musical numpty status changed my appreciation.
They said it was their first gig out of the UK in 2 years!

I became a confirmed heterosexual when I first saw the cover of Parallel Lines in 1977.
Still would, obvs. In a New York minute.

Still would, obvs. In a New York minute. No teenager wanked harder, more regularly or more furiously over 40 years ago Debbie Harry than a pubescent Noodle. She and she alone is the reason I have zero sensation left in my boaby. Head, shaft, the fucking lot utterly shredded over that minx and not a second of it regretted despite the fact it now takes me a week to reach satisfactory sexual climax (totes spaff). However, she is seventy cunting six. Even if I was a hundred and cunting six, I couldn't bring myself to pump some cunt of seventy cunting six. Even if it was Debbie fucking Harry, my remote cock shredder. Get that shite so far tae absolute fuck you monster. I do hope this clarifies my position on the matter. |

That's brilliant. Had to Google the harmonica player, superb harping. Lew Lewis, taught harmonica by the great Lee Brilleaux and formally of Eddie and the Hot Rods. Did 7 years for armed robbery with a plastic gun and a shopping bike as his getaway vehicle. Clearly a character, passed away April this year.

This was included on a collection album called "Off The Beaten Track", some of the songs you may recognise; en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Off_the_Beaten_TrackAlong with Old Codger, these were a couple of my favourites from that album; |

I don't know why I'm digging the fuck out of this. Not a massive fan of jazz variants, other than Chet Baker.

Is there not a collective of these dudes in London? I went to see The Comet is Coming a couple of years ago. I'd be lying if I said I loved every minute of it but the vast majority was really good and I'm not a jazz cunt. I also went to see Kamasi Washington. I was really looking forward to it but it was total shite. Must have been 15 cunts in his band and each one got at least 2 lengthy solo spots. Awful. "Just play a fucking song!" I kept shouting at the dismal jazz wankers. |

Most of my vinyl was bought when I was teenager and as such it's largely shite as my taste was firmly up my arse 40 years ago.
Despite that, I've never thrown music out as each purchase represents a step in my musical journey.
So I've been forcing myself to listen to stuff I've never heard in decades in an attempt to rediscover what I saw in it before. I liked it at one time, so why then and why not now?
A real surprise has been Robert Plant's first two albums. Led Zeppelin split up within seconds of me discovering them and I was fucking distraught. I'd have bought records of them farting together. So I bought into Robert Plant's new solo career with fucking gusto and I remember being quite disappointed.
Listening now to his first solo album, Pictures at Eleven, for the first time im almost 40 years is an absolute joy. It's fucking brilliant, could easily have been Zep's next album and if he released it tomorrow I'd be ranting about it. All killer no filler it was, in hindsight, a tremendous debut solo album.
The Principle of Moments is slightly different. He was clearly trying to be all 80s modern and as such the album has dated a bit. Nevertheless, close your eyes and you'd swear Jimmy Page was providing the guitars and the stand out 'hit' Big Log would have graced any latter Zeppelin album.
My forced journey through my vinyl history has not always been pleasant but unearthing forgotten gems like these is absolutely priceless.
