Playing the Half Moon in Herne Hill this coming Sunday.

The Handsome Family - Amelia Earhart

The Handsome Family - Your Great Journey

[david_carnell]

Jah - how were the Handsome Family? I'm very jealous I didn't get to go.....hope it was a good 'un.

Anyhoo....have some Kenny Anderson. Because he deserves a greater audience than he gets, because he's excellent and because I know some people will like it....

[mockney piers]

Great slice of late sixties UK invasion pop I'm kind of a latecomer to.

The Zombies - Brief Candles

[Jah Lush]

I wasn't overly familiar with their stuff but the little that I'd heard I'd really liked. They were excellent and I really enjoyed their set. I liked the humour in the darkness of the lyrics and and the harmonies were beautiful so I'll definitely be investing in some of their CDs as soon as possible.

[Jah Lush]

Absolute classic.

Ian Dury & The Blockheads - Sex & Drugs & Rock & Roll

[Jah Lush]

60s garage classic that was covered by The Ramones and Garbage but this the original version is the nuts.

The Seeds - I Can't Seem To Make You Mine

[Mark]

For those of you who used to rave in Warehouses of old I give you..

The Rave Generator

[Jah Lush]

Oh my God! Mark what have you done...I seem to have got myself into an early 90s timewarp playing that damned thing.

[mockney piers]

Some good old Swedish post rock for a crisp winter's day.

Jeniferever - Kapfarvel

[Brendan]

Wot?s post rock? Is it like post punk? (An odd fabrication in itself) or is it posties rocking out in their spare time? Or 9 minute long power ballads with 5 minute guitar solos about missing parcels? Or angry 1 minute long 3 chord rants about stupid posts on internet forums? Or the official music of the Society for the Provision of Support for Fences? Or an obscure musical genre inspired by the ever present but often undervalued need to keep telephone lines out of the road?

[mockney piers]

Like most labels it's meaningless in itself.

It's basically Prog (oops, another label) with louder guitars and bigger sounds.

God Speed You Black Emperor, Explosions in the Sky, Sigur Ros, 65 Days of Static etc are probably the most famous post rockers.

Or according to wikipedia on one of it's uncensored pages "It is the use of 'rock instrumentation' for non-rock purposes. Practitioners of the genre's style typically produce instrumental music."

Which sounds like nonsense to me.

[Brendan]

Ahh I see. It is instrumental music that sounds like nonsense to you.

[mockney piers]

If it doesn't sound like Perry Como, then basically, what's the point?

[Jah Lush]

"All I want for Christmas is a rock n' roll electric guitar."

Keith does Chuck Berry at Christmas.

Keith Richards - Run Rudolph Run

[Jah Lush]

A murder ballad for you on this cold wintry day.

Where The Wild Roses Grow - Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds (with Kylie Minogue).

[mockney piers]

coooool

[david_carnell]

Awesome choice Jah.

Have been downloading Dig, Lazarus! Dig! today - will have a listen later.

[Jah Lush]

That's a great album David.

[SeanMacGabhann]

[david_carnell]

Mmm all good stuff, but is it as good as the moustache/mullet combo he's sporting in the first video? Is it?

Today I have been mostly downloading some, all or none of the following:

Ryan Adams - Come Pick Me Up

[mockney piers]

Wise words from a good Essex songwriter

Darren Hayman and the Secondary Modern - Apologise

[mockney piers]

a jaunty bunch and no mistake (the strokes meet the avalanches via billie piper), I'm far too old to be listening to this, but hey, I can have a mid life crisis.

The Death Set - Negative Thinking

[Jah Lush]

Collages with political statements set to a massive tune.

Open Up - Leftfield and John Lydon

[mockney piers]

Tunes of the day with a vague political sentiment (even if it's just fuck them and their law)

Prodigy - Claustrophobic Sting

[Brendan]

just for shits and giggles http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=ScDeRKUJ-IU&feature=related
