It was Vigilante Man.

I love that, all the bangs and rattles of the slide.  Not so sure about the bandana (if I remember correctly)!

Craig Charles Funk & Soul Show on 6 Music.

I always enjoy it a lot, but why have I never bought a funk record, and hardly any soul records?

Maybe it's because I buy records to explore the music more, whereas with funk and soul, you "get" it, all of it, immediately on first listen, so there's nothing left to get into afterwards?

EDIT: Does Mezzoforte count as a funk band?

The free CD given away with this months MOJO.....
.....Cover versions of Pink Floyds' Dark Side Of The Moon & Wish You Were Here albums.

Includes IMO great versions of Have a Cigar by John Foxx And The Maths, Wish You Were Here by Lia Ices and The Orb's Shine On You Crazy Diamond  :thumbsup:

Lots of Nina Simone.
I think you'll find it's a bit more complicated than that.

The new Wilco album, enjoying so far. More 'A Ghost is Born' than 'Yankee, Hotel, Foxtrot'.

90 Bisodol (Crimond) ~ Half Man Half Biscuit

Not sure about this yet.  Not as immediate as CSI: Ambleside or Achtung Bono.

Pink Floyd - Wish You Were Here
"Shine On You Crazy Diamond" was playing on the radio whilst I was in the dentists yesterday, which reminded me that I hadn't listened to it for a while (and I still think it's better than DSotM)

Johnny Marr and The Healers, on You Tube, as for one marvellous moment I thought I'd be able to go and see them with The Chief next week.  But never mind ...

A selection of Beautiful South tracks.  "Song For Whoever" may be the most attention-grabbing opening track of a debut album ever written, and the lyrics don't go where you expect them to.  Mostly very dark stuff, though.
Hard work sometimes pays off in the end, but laziness ALWAYS pays off NOW.

Last night, I indulged myself with a Boomtown Ratsfest.  Try it - you'll be surprised by the large number of good songs they did (and unsurprised by the stinkers ;D )

Graveyard, a Swedish rock band that sounds surprising like Led Zeppelin

Nah - it just sounds like a 56k modem shoved through a rack full of effects ;)

Obviously, it should have gone in the 'what are you doing ...' thread but my brain is totally fried. This calls for a bit of Slayer, I think :)

It's really rather nice :)

Official: 90 Bisodol (Crimond) is pants >:(  With the possible exception of Tommy Walsh's Eco House there is nothing on this record which would make me even contemplate heading for the (sponsored) mosh-pit.

I am this: disappointed.
