"A Canticle for Leibowitz: Fiat Homo" on Radio 4extra

Sadly, I don't think parts two and three have been recorded.

Damn, a long time since I read that.

R-A-M-O-N-E-S Ramones!

There is a time and a place for guitar virtuosity, multi-layered soundscapes, soaring wossnames and Keith Emerson knifecriming a Hammond L-100.  And there are some days when four chords is at least one too many.

I started watching a programme of Artists' covers of Dylan songs. When it got to Cliff and some young Nolans doing a cover of something or other, horribly*, I turned it off.

Am now listening to the real McCoy.

Bliss.

(*They were covering the song horribly. I turned it off magnificently.)

Portugal. The Man, in particular "All Your Light"

(Tries to imagine what The Nolans doing Desolation Row would be like.  Fails)

There's probably a whole new parlour game in there.  "Unlikely Cover Versions You'd [Like|Hate] To Hear".

I suppose it's just a song, when all's said and done.  (I may have just written a poem....)

And now it's "Lover Man".    I think Jimmy Somerville's version has a bit of extra bite than this one.

A tinny second-hand rendition of barakta's beepy euro-pop essay-writing playlist.  It occurs to me that I should be careful not to get stranded on another planet with this as my only music.

Wishbone Ash - Argus. first time for many years, and I'm right back in 1972! I'd forgotten how similar to CSN&Y they were are* in many ways.

* I didn't realise they are still around and touring!

10cc - Rubber Bullets.  10cc were rather silly but their talent was amazing.  Disturbingly, Eric Stewart these days looks just like Ian Faith from "This Is Spinal Tap"
