Rainbows All Over Your Blues


Think of John Sebastian @ Woodstock & smile!

Curves in the Air



Like Shinsuke Nakamura

Somewhere Over the Rainbow



The weather may be a little freaky of late but it can be very pretty!

Part 7 of a 2-Part Trilogy: Favourite album titles of all time

Kasai Allstars – In the 7^th Moon, the Chief Turned into a Swimming Fish & he Ate the Head of his Enemy by Magic (Crammed).

This album was made in Kinshasa, Congo.

Black Windmill

Do you sometimes feel short-changed by soundtracks?

I spent a few uneventful days crawling about in my loftspace trying to find that elusive Roy Budd masterwork. I was hoping to use the choral intro for a compilation cd. I had watched the movie recently & this sparked the quest.

I was so disappointed to discover it was not on the cd perhaps for copyright reasons.

I will have to search elsewhere.

Nacho McNovo

If nacho realises his dream & plays for his adopted country, I for one will stop signing that anthem from the terraces.

Daylight Saving Time

As the clocks go back, I wonder how pcs can make sense of this process, when I cannot get the purpose behind this nonsense!

Part 5 in a 4 Part Trilogy: Favourite Album Titles of All Time



Perhaps you are feeling a little down due to missing Jackie Leven & instead you chose to watch the Buoys Vs Men?

Wayne Rooney & Christian Ronaldo were outstanding, the latter is so obviously talented, but the former for me showed such power, turn of speed & agility, I was stunned with his performance.


Back to those 2 album titles by 1-Speed Bike.

• Droopy Butt Begone
• Someone told me Life Gets Easier in Your 50s

I nearly feel off my lifesize statue of Henrik Larsson

Old Wheaties

The main benefit of download culture, & I wish to emphasise, the cultural aspect, is that you get to hear items that you would not buy due to lack of info/funds…etc….

This means that sometimes you come across an artist or cd that totally takes you by surprise & blows your socks off!

This morning for me it is: Wheaty Mattiasch – Old Wheaties (there is an album called New Wheaties).

Old Style Real Music. Where does it sit? Alt. Country, Alt. Folk, Freak Folk, Acid Folk?

It is just so good. Remember the first time you heard Pearls Before Swine or the Holy Modal Rounders, back in 69, man.

Procrastination is the Mother of All Indecisiveness

Spoilt for choice 7 a.m. Sunday, still dark & wet outside.

What cd could lift my spirits & help me wash down that essential bowl of java.

Therein lies the problem. Should it be something dreamy & background like Joni Mitchell, Laura Nyro or Goldfrapp’s ‘Felt remixes’ or something uplifting & funky like Barry Adamson’s ‘Murky World of’ or perhaps an item more demanding like the compilation ‘The Garden is Full of Forking Paths’.

On the latter title, it was pointed out that this is a book title, but I am unsure as to whether the colleague was referring to a recent book of modern short experimental stories or the J.L. Borges original.

The correct decision on the choice of music is crucial for setting my mood right for the day, so I decided on the ‘Felt remixes, but this only causes anxiety as I want to listen to the basic album now.

One of the tracks is a remix by either the king of the tango: Astor Piazzola or the Gotan Project, now I am off on another tangent.

Another task for another day. It is a wonder I finally get out of the house.

Sometimes There is No Need for Words

Observations from Orbit, Part 9



Although they are often tagged with the label 'psychedelia' I would suggest a re-think is required here. The japanese band Ghost, I would say are closer to Can or Faust.

On another of those 'must listen' trips Ghost are getting their much - deserved, time on my current playlist.


Ok maybe we describe them with both tags: psychedelia & krautrock although I believe they will appeal to both sets of avid listeners.

Observations from Orbit, part 322


On a recent visit to St Machan's Graveyard in the Campsies, I was struck by the large skull & crossbones marker at the entrance.

It has nothing to do with pirates or johnnie depp or even keith richards, but this symbol is often found on Scottish graves, but this is the first time I have seen it prominently displayed at the graveyard gate.


Trying to source the reason why opens more doors than it closes. The Freemasons & Knights Templar are masters of disinformation.

The most innocent theory would suggest it was just an anti papist signal in place of angels & saints.

Marches

For anyone who really knows me, it would come as no surprise, that I would be listening to Lawrence Abu Hamdan’s Marches e.p. at 8 a.m. on a Saturday.

This is 18 minutes (2 tracks) from an artwork involving a sound piece of ? people marching, although it sounds more like walking fast. I am reminded of flamenco beats.

For me I was disappointed that there was not more sounds elsewhere leaking into the piece, but there you go you can’t have everything!

This album will find a place beside some of the rather obscure cds in my collection e.g. like ‘Dog Pound, Found Sound’ that amazing double cd of dogs barking non-stop. I would recommend playing this on constant repeat, if you are going on holiday & you don’t want the neighbours to raid your fridge.

Perhaps this might be a regular update on this blog ‘obscure objects of delight’….i am sure I have other cds in the same vein as the 2 mentioned above. I will sleep on this.

Power to the People Right Now

Great 'Wire' article this month that illustrates how download culture has put the music back into the hands of the people & cut the profits of the multinational corporations.

Perhaps this will mean there will be less money around for weapons of mass destruction, less toxins & poisons & more love.

Maybe I am stretching the bounds of niaivity too far?

Get Jewels on Your Antlers



I just realised that the outstanding Jewelled Antler Collection of 3" cds has been released in a 4 cd pack.

Not everyone's cup of red bush, I suppose, but it is hot stuff around this house.

It includes: The Ivy tree, Hala Strana, Uton & Kemilliset Ystavat (always fond of Finnish freakery!), Thuja, Fursaxa.

No 2 tracks sound the same, no 2 bands sound the same or even sane. Miss at your peril.

Fridge Magnet

My next door neighbour keeps emptying my fridge.

The Happy Highlanders are half way up (or should that be half way down?) Mount Balde @ Lake Garda & I am losing so much free time working on assessments for my ITALL Literacies course.

George Burley is quite rightly kicking ass & my neighbour keeps ram raiding my fridge.

Yesterday everything was halfed...e.g. cheery pie & an exceptionally succulent Pineapple.

Could someone please tell me what's going on?
