Earlier, Mélanie Pain. Got tickets to see her in Leeds on Wednesday....

Then there was a bit of Lotte Mullan.... that'll be Manchester in May.

Then a spot of Low. April, Gateshead.

Then some James Yorkston. Still haven't found a gig I can get to....

Now Jeffrey Lewis. Leeds, because a gig and a Very Late Train will be perfect preparation for control-assisting the following day on a 600

Watching old videos on Youtube, Stiff Little Fingers, Undertones, Buzzcocks, The Jam, Squeeze, Skids, Elvis Costello ...you can tell my age..

I found this...

I don't know where it was filmed, but I saw them on the same tour at the Liverpool Empire. 1st gig I ever went to, 1979 so I'd have been 14....

Still on a nostalgia kick I went googling for something from my dim & distant past...... and found it ! Welsh language rock! I heard this on either The Friday Rock Show or The Great Easton Express (Liverpool radio prog which got me through school) and had a recording of it on a knackered C90.

I never knew anything about the band or the singer though... Omega, fronted by Delwyn Sion who appears to be a stalwart of Welsh language music http://www.glanceri.com/history.htm

"Adferwch Y Cymoedd" (Return to the Valleys)

We had a real love-hate relationship with them back in the 80s. I remember on one gig them threatening to smash my lighting rig with one of their guitars unless the bouncers let some of their mates back in, who'd been thrown out for fighting on the dance floor...

Cloud Cult - Love

Some nice jangly hanging cadences, thumping rhythms and rather less funeral music than the previous album. One or two good overnight-cycling choons

.

The one you really want is The Harry Lime Theme from The Third Man.

Valtari by Sigur Ros. Not as memorable as many of their other works, in that there isn't any single standout anthem or indeed anything you could hum afterwards, but it's quietly beautiful like staring into a clear lake, and all the tracks hang together very well. There's no discord like some of their work - instead it shimmers with beautiful sounds. Definitely one where you need to pull up a chair, turn up the volume and just sit and listen. You will be rewarded.

After repeated mentions of some band or other called Low, and David Bowie's ~~second~~ ~~third~~ umpteenth self-reinvention, it was inevitable:

David Bowie, Low.

The National being interviewed and in session on 6Music, previewing some of their new album. Sounding good!

Ah bliss. "Who's next" - The Who.

Quite simply the most powerful and strident rock music ever produced by a 4 piece band.

Laura Mvula - Sing to the Moon.

Saw her on ...Later and liked what I heard. Hopefully it marks a return to ...Later doing what it should do, that is showing established artists (this week it was Suede, reformed after 10 years) but also giving acts like this air time.

Lovely voice, gorgeous songs, well worth a listen.

The Polyphonic Spree performing songs from the Rocky Horror Show.

Whoever thought this was a good idea was a lunatic. And brilliant. I've always like the Polyphonic Spree's way of chucking themselves with enormous gusto into their performances, and that's exactly what they do here, and yeah, it's good. Bonkers, of course, but it works.

Kate Rusby, 20.

Currently "Awkward Annie" on repeat, at the request of the SmallestCub who is dancing round the living room dressed in a towel and looking unbearably cute. If I was a properly mean mummy I'd be taking photos with which to embarrass him in his late teens.

Van Halen - Van Halen

I had forgotten how good they were before all the hairspray and spandex. Apparently Eddie used to audition Marshall amps to find ones that were just on the edge of actually blowing up and then use those to record and tour with. Here that lovely Marshall overdrive on the beginning of "aint talking about love"
