My Album of The Month : THEA GILMORE : Can You Hear The Ghosts Sing

 

So my signed copy of Thea’s fine FINE album arrived

It is totally fab and something of a revelation in that I don’t think I was expecting the band to be so good and tight, she with her guitar and singing is enough for me but heck these guys are TIGHT!

Beautiful production and played daily so far

Now I am guess it is sold out now and was a limited edition but if you check her social media there’ll be loads out there for you to enjoy

Eels - An Ordinary Man

I think this was thrown up by my TV . . . . . .hadn’t listened to any Eels for a while so it was timely! 

Eels - An Ordinary Man

I’m just an ordinary man . . .ain’t no use talking to me, just the same as talking to you!

Gal Musician of the Day: Viv Albertine

 Now someone posted this online and I’ll be damned if I didn’t note their name . . . if its you please drop me a note and I will credit but it made total sense to me!

"This post is for the punk poster collectors out there. If provenance is important, you won’t do much better than this. Viv Albertine will soon be selling off her personal collection via Twentieth Century Posters. Most of the posters date to the early days of UK punk & post punk, and include artwork from her band, The Slits, as well as friends like the Sex Pistols & The Clash. This is some top shelf stuff to be sure. While you consider any purchases, have a listen to the playlist created by Viv for the Stupefaction blog back in 2013. Apple Music link in bio."

Saoirse Ronan has a cup of Tea!

 A Mug Of Life

"Thanks Saoirse Ronan for having a tea with me!

Think I’m going to have to go and make some teas along the Great Glen way! "

I really love this guy who generally stops random selected strangers out walking and offers them a cup of tea and they sit down on an available bench and chat and he posts the results . . .some have had me in tears . . . . . seriously

But then I found this one with him talking to the spectacular incandescent Saoirse Ronan a favourite actor (have you seen her in anything? She is spectacularly good; Chesil Beach, Brooklyn etc etc) She is also delightfully charming as witnessed here . . . . . . . cup of tea? Why, don’t mind if’n I do

N.B. Now I like a PG Tips as much as the next man but Yorkshire Tea is almost beyond description and full and rich and gorgeous but what is this Barry’s Tea? Anyone off to Ireland soon!?

 I wonder if he drinks coffee?

Andrew and Jim Baxter: Georgia Stomp (1928) and Forty Drops (1926-1930) | Gary Lucas

Georgia Stomp from Gary Lucas this morning!

Now we have established Gary really knows his stuff and I am not just saying that as his taste so frequently crosses mine own but I mean REALLY knows his early blues and music ever since as well! I didn’t know these two and it warmed my cockles (it’s allowed!)

 Andrew Baxter (born 1869) played the fiddle, while his son Jim Baxter (born 1898) played the guitar and sang. The duo hailed from Gordon County, Georgia.They recorded notable sides for Victor Records in Charlotte, North Carolina (1927–1928) and Atlanta, Georgia (1929). Their music, such as “Georgia Stomp” and “Forty Drops,” was later featured on Harry Smith’s influential Anthology of American Folk Music.
