Faith No More - King For A Day, Fool For A Lifetime

An underrated album, I feel, even though it isn't nearly as good as 'Angel Dust', and the title track is an absolute belter live:

I've said it before and I'll say it again: Mike Patton is totally batshit crazy but they guy can sing ...

(and that bass sound is one I'd absolutely kill for)

Fwiw, interzen, I still think you cannot beat "Introduce Yourself" as far as FNM go, but then Mr Patton only joined after it was released, so he doesn't feature on the album, but does in the videos and, obviously on any live performance of the tracks.

I prefer Chuck Moseley's vocals on the early stuff - not sure why, it just suits the music better.

For me, the first two albums ("We Care A Lot" and "Introduce Yourself") are classic skate music - probably because I was still doing a fair bit of skateboarding when I first got into FNM at university. Just wish I knew where my copy of "We Care A Lot" was $:-\$

I feel a trawl through the archives coming on ...

Summer Special by Euros Childs.

I recognise a lot of the songs from seeing him live at the Westgarth in Boro. Lovely summery pop.

and it has a fabulous cover:

Today (other than occasional forays into Dolfish and Melanie Pain because they do creep into the playlists a lot by default at the moment) has mostly been Lotte Mullan and Allo Darlin' since I'm off to see 'em both this weekend.

Funnily enough I haven't listened to the ones I'm off to see tomorrow!

My God, that's a scary video. Chap at the start looks like America's version of Effing Davis with those eyes.

I'm glad it wasn't just me found it scary. I was after some validation.

… well, listening all week actually, to A sting in the tail by Dave Goulson on R4's Book of the week. Bloody fascinating stuff. He's doing terrific stuff. I wish there were more chaps like him, helping to save the bee.

Delving into the depths of my MP3 collection, I came across this - a Bob Rivers parody of One of Us.

Roxy Music - Virginia Plain. Brian Eno on keyboards, apparently with a wah-wah pedal.

When Ferrry says "Virginia Plain" at the end of the song he sounds just like Weebl from Weebl and Bob.

Ships by Sweet Baboo.

Yet more Deershed prep.

Mark E Smith interview with Radcliffe & Maconie. Radio gold!

BTW, I thought the new Fall single was absolute crap on first listen, but it's growing on me. I now think it's quite bad but sort of good.
