The Beautiful South

Started with the unquestionably dark Quench and have now moved onto the much happier Superbi.

M83 - Hurry Up, We're Dreaming

Finally got a copy yesterday though it's been out for a few months. Wish I'd got it sooner. It's very good. Very good indeed.

They've always been dark. "0898" is quite sinister throughout.

Hue and Cry

They've matured pretty well, this is right funky.

That is, quite honestly, one of my all time favourites jogler. Absolutely great.

but I prefer this: because I am, at heart, a solitary soul.

It's so beautiful

My dad cried, the day John Lennon died. It took me years to understand why, but I think I do, now. What an extraordinary artist he was.

Mine too, for a man who never cried it was a shock to see him do so.

I remember, as a teenager, having a copy of "Rock 'n' Roll" on tape that I played so much it wore out.

It's a marj-anthem.

Lennon's death is one of those occassions when so many folk can recollect exactly where they were & what they were doing.I was so shocked I had to stop the car.

Okay, so here's one of my all time, top ten, favourite song lyrics.

"before you cross the street, take my hand. Life is what happens to you when you're busy making other plans"

Do you remember the feeling of that tiny warm hand, finding yours, before you crossed the road? The absolute trust? Damn but he was good.

More eMusic downloads to dive into. Only listened to the first couple so far. I was surprised how many of the 2 Bears tracks I recognised: I thought I'd only heard Bear Hug

The Shangaan Shake compilation is a set of remixes of tracks from the compilation Shangaan Electro: New Wave Dance Music From South Africa done by the great & good of the current underground dance scene. On first listen it's another

and means I'll d/l the original album next month.

The 2 Bears - Be Strong
Various Artists - Shangaan Shake
Belbury Poly - The Belbury Tales
Burial - Kindred
Django Django - Django Django
Emeralds - Emeralds
Sandwell District - Feed Forward
Haxan Cloak - Observatory e.p.
Young Hunting - The Night of the Burning

For balance, my father said on hsi death that he was once a good Liverpool comedian, who had been ruined by that Ono woman.

@ Jogler, LindaG and Tiermat

I, too, am I big John Lennon fan. The Rock and Roll album is great but I just wondered, have you heard Ry Cooder's version of Stand By Me? He does it in a Tex-Mex style with Flaco Jimenez and the King brothers. But then, I love Ry Cooder!

Courtesy of Spotify. I keep forgetting I've got this. I should use it more often.

I reckoned so from Tune association

RC doesn't do it for me.Having said that I think Lennon's cover of Ben E. King's classic is even better than the original.

A fair bit of Bobby Whitlock, should be much more well known than he is. Here with EC.

And one from Bobby's first solo album in 1972 again with EC on guitar.
