We have the music room where people post there latest finds/rememberances but amongst all of the many postings, editorial and context is lost. Which then reminded me of the lost art of mix-tapes


How about people pull together 10 different youtube song clips and list them with any liner notes you fancy adding yourself. Why each song deserves a place in your 10 picks, what it meant at the time etc


No other rules - no limit on how many from same artist, or length of song - just pick 10


(I'm cheating slightly by not picking 10 as I'm at work but will come back and do this later)

Ok, here we go for the first time. I've gone for country duets. An unusual choice but there are some great tunes in here (honest).




Johnny Cash and June Carter - Jackson


Gram Parsons and Emmylou Harris - Return of the grevious angel


Robert Plant and Alison Krauss - Stick with me baby


Roy Orbison & kd lang - Crying








Conway Twitty and Loretta Lynn - You're the reason our kids are ugly


Some are romantic, some sad and the last track is very funny, but I love all of 'em.

Cant get on to you tube here (my firewall blocks it) but am looking forward to seeing the lists that come in! :))


@DC - Islands in the stream - total Classic! I was raised on Kenny Rogers and Simon and Garfunkle - know almost all the words to the Gambler! *rolls eyes* I personally would have thrown in a bit of Rick Astley, possibly even Bros (both of which were massive in Australia when I was a kid)

Random songs belong in the music thread ladeeez n' gentleman (and a fine place it is too ) but this here place is for compilations (and praise/criticism thereof) only


Congratulations are in order to Mr Carnell ( I so wish his first name was Darnell) for standing up and being not only the first, but a very nicely chosen set.

David Sylvian - September


A tiny, tiny song. A little thing... barely a minute. But it makes me happy to be alive



Holly Palmer



This is just beautiful. I first heard it when she played support to some

shower at the 100 club on Oxford St - It was just her, an acoustic guitar

and lot's of over-loud media types at the bar. their loss. This version is

more lush obviously


Tindersticks

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9ZEwEUeSVFA


Picking a sticks song is hard. So I went with one of Lady MacGabhann's

favourites


Lambchop - Up With People



You will clap along.... yes, you will


Emmylou Harris - Wrecking Ball

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bEwQbptSnAk


I'm convinced she's not of this earth. But this is lovely


David Bowie - Thursday's Child



I love this video.. both the song and the video a melancholy-tinged-with-hope effort about ageing



Flaming Lips - Do You Realise?

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qvdma6tCnjw

Makes me giddy....


Massive Attack - Safe From Harm

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aZ1cACrPHdc

This reminds me of Queens Sq in Bristol and one of the best gigs I ever saw


Saul Williams - Black Stacey


Seriously interesting character. Saw him supporting NiN and bought his

album straight afterwards. He does more poetry readings than live concerts

but if you get a chance to see him... here he sings it without music


Scott Walker - If You Go Away

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LGAWtQsUymk


Ne Me Quittez Pas indeed. This reminds me of a gig at the jazz cafe where

this was playing loudly as tranvestites handed out free cigarettes and

everyone prepared to Shag Tobacco

It?s been a wet weekend; I?m in my nightgown way before bedtime and I?m makin? free with the Grey Goose. Here are some sad songs. Cry with my compliments. This being said, I would choose 10 completely different songs tomorrow night; the beauty of the mixed tape.


Strange first choice because I always hated this 80s stadium-rouser until I stumbled upon this acoustic version which strips the song down to nothing; just a sad story about a guy who gets shafted by his country. Listen without prejudice.

Bruce Springsteen ? Born in the USA

http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=Uc0ucoesINs


Pixies ? Cactus

This is a song about a guy in prison asking his lady to send him her dirty dress so he can get through the dark times.


Sitting here wishing on a cement floor

Just wishing that I had just something you wore

I put it on when I go lonely

Will you take off your dress and send it to me?


Now I may be the only one ever to find this horny but just imagine being loved / loving someone that much? Hmmm, horny. It?s a Pixies song but here?s the David Bowie cover:

http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=XDQqq0ehwlc


Sod it, here?s the Pixies too ?cos I just found this on Youtube with Frank and the guys gone all acoustic and I can always make a little extra room for the Pixies

http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=Ex272jpUOSg


Pogues ? Lullaby of London

Difficult to choose just one Pogues song but this one haunts and I think Shane may actually be sober on this take.

http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=qfCApwN7iuA


NIN/Johnny Cash - Hurt

If you don?t cry you?re STONE

http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=AO9dbmJ_2zU


Nirvana ? All Apologies

I would walk on hot coals for the full length of Lordship Lane to have the chance to see these guys. Never gonna happen. Sucks.

http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=2oAF3UdSJ1k


I love a good Dylan song, just so long as he?s not the one singin? it (miserable bugger). I really wanted to include Barb Jungr singing It?s All Over Now Baby Blue but I?m technically challenged and I didn?t know how. If anyone can help ? please upload for me. Otherwise, here?s another. Stay with her ?till the end ? she?s worth it.

Bob Dylan ? Like A Rolling Stone

http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=A54x6NpKwDY


Toni Childs ?

I wanted to upload Stop Your Fussin (which always lifts a cloud) but, again, I didn?t know how, so here?s another. Where is this lady these days?

http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=nBADxGUQFrA&feature=related


Antony and the Johnsons, what?s not to like?

http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=6M7qQedSdKk


Dolly gone punk

White Stripes ? Jolene

http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=j3cG-kQcED0


Led Zeppelin ? Dazed and Confused

From O2 reunion last year. Can?t remember being this excited since Father Christmas brought me Malibu Barbie circa 1973.

Just watched it. Now I'm weeping. Thanks.

      Street trees: when is it time to call time ?

      By malumbu · Posted

      Rather than have a go at Southwark,  contact them, they will employ at least one arborist who will know far more than most people on this site. Here's one: https://www.linkedin.com/in/shaun-murphy-morris-03b7b665/?originalSubdomain=uk

      Lost: Brickhouse tote with art supplies

      I would look in the surrounding area as once they realise it has nothing they could sell or of obvious monatary value in it they'll dump the bag and contents.

      Street trees: when is it time to call time ?

      By mlteenie · Posted

      Trees, eh? I feel your pain, EDP, but I like the light provided by the pollarding. I'm interested in the gingko, tho.  I love a tree, me - Hillsboro Rd has lost about five over the last 20 years (2x lime, cherry, strawberry, and, er...). The council did take down about 5 ill original lime trees behind our house but then gave us Golden Rain trees. God, if only we had known what a PITA they are. The main problems are massive invasive surface roots which have buggered up my back fence and paving, plus thousands of vigorously self-seeding offspring every year, which I go around pulling up before they turn into trees. And the leaves are tough things, like horse chestnuts, so don't rot easily. I hate them.  Wish they could have been something native and attractive, like birch or something... council isn't interested in helping.  Ah, well.
