Marquee Moon by Television! Now I said it wouldn’t make my top 30 but heck this live in SF in 1978 made me re-think and no mistake.

 Chris Frantz (the Drumming Talking Head!?) likes Wet Leg!

George and Paul (Simon that is!) sing Homeward Bound [SNL 1976]

Somebody played this on Flackkenahock and it is telling that I immediately wondered if it was AI [never having seen or heard this clip before] . . . . . . . I understand it is from Saturday Night Live and is genuine

It IS one thing . . . . undoubtedly lovely!

Birthdays: Leigh Nash

Happy 50th birthday to Leigh Nash, born in New Braunfels, Texas on this day in 1976. 

Kiss her beneath the milky twilight, lead her out on the moonlit floor, lift your open hand, strike up the band and make the fireflies dance

Jenny and The Mexicats (revisited) ‘Frenetico Ritmo’ live at NPR Tiny Desk concerts

again another pop up from my Facebook memories and this is really worth a re-visit if it helps you cool down  . . . . or maybe not!?

Jenny and the Mexicats

Jenny said at the time:

Tiny desk is done at the NPR offices in Washington D.C., they are exclusive to their youtube channel and it has gone viral in the last 2 years but it has been done for 10 years and it has grown in a very organic way.

They invite an artist to play behind a desk and there is an invited audience but who doesn't know who is going to play until the band comes on stage. They record it in a very acoustic way with 2 microphones for all musicians and without monitoring, the artists have to be very creative in order to engage with the audience while sounding good for the youtube video.

We played in 2015 at SXSW and after our show we were invited by Felix Contreras to play on tiny desk.

It was until 2018 that we managed to do it and the appointment was at 11 am an unfriendly hour to give your best show but we knew how important it was to do it well, so we were prepared.

To choose the 3 songs was difficult but we decided to make one in English, one in Spanish and one in Spanglish, which is the language we speak between us since Jenny is from England, David from Spain and Pantera and Icho from Mexico.

We were very nervous and it was a complicated soundcheck since it was very difficult to play quietly but at the end we manage do it.

This is Frenetico Ritmo a song from our second album.

Hope you enjoy it.

We did Jenny we did!

BUMP: Emily Barker just released a new single 'Unpaid Bill’ you can buy it now and I would highly recommend it!

  

Greetings, 
Emily Barker just released Unpaid Bill, check it out here. 

“My song Unpaid Bill is now on Bandcamp for all those who have been asking...

As always, thank you for your support!

Emily x” 

Emily says: 

Our senses, our brains are wired to create connections with artifacts. Look around your home. Certain objects might link to a powerful emotion like love, jealousy, anger and to certain relationships like with a friend, a parent, grandparent, etc. 

There’s so much symbolism in the day-to-day. Sometimes it’s spooky. For instance, one of a pair of coffee cups breaking shortly after your partner leaves you. Or receiving a bill in the post addressed in their name. 

Like ‘White Geraniums’, this song is about sitting in grief: “The chair tells me to sit and wait”. It’s about realising that grief, shock, anger is going to take a while to shift. That the mending will move through phases, morph in that “two steps forward, one step back” kind of way. And that despite wanting an easy, quick way out, time will do the heaviest lifting of heartbreak. 

I recorded this song, and ‘White Geraniums’ with producer, Luke Potashnick at The Wool Hall in Beckington, Somerset along with some awesome musicians, most of whom were on the ‘Fragile as Humans’ album.

lyrics

You were somewhere else when I woke up 
far from together 
Crack in a matching coffee cup
spilt, spelt forever 
Morning thick as a winter’s coat 
holding back the weather 
Want a two-shot, short cut, brighter note 
brand-new treasure 

Light on the front porch is broken 
An unpaid bill in your name 
Doors to different rooms won’t open 
The chair tells me to sit and wait 

Ticket to the edge of the open lake 
deep decompression 
Can’t help but wish for another take 
loss as a lesson
No way back to what began
no further direction 
Wanna skim read, high-speed, understand 
give me a second 

Light on the front porch is broken 
An unpaid bill in your name 
Doors to different rooms won’t open 
The chair tells me to sit and wait 

You were somewhere else when I woke up 
far from together 
Crack in a matching coffee cup
spilt, spelt forever

Bob Dylan - In The Summertime (yes his Song!) | Junkyard King / phantomengineer

 No Mungo Jerry to be seen! . . . . . . . concensus seems to be the other version was a fake but maybe someone out there knows better than Brother Jobe and I?! Meanwhile might sign off with this . . . the real deal. 

[Hopefully the weather should break over the weekend but I won’t hold my breath tomorrow still scheduled to be 32+]

Strangers, they meddled in our affairs
Poverty and shame was theirs
But all that sufferin’ was not to be compared
With the glory that is to be
And I’m still carrying the gift you gave
It’s a part of me now, it’s been cherished and saved
It’ll be with me unto the grave
And then unto eternity

In the summertime, ah in the summertime
In the summertime when you were with me

A Host Of Re-Posts

Speedy says: Something to keep you busy this weekend - here's a host of re-posts that I recently uploaded:

1. Blues Traveler
2. Bob Seger
3. Burt Bacharach 
4. Dave Mason
5. Eddie Money
6. English Beat
7. Huey Lewis
8. Ian Hunter
9. Kris Kristofferson 
10. Marc Cohn

20. The Yardbirds

Please note that for all the above we have just re-posted the shows where they headline - not any guest appearance. Some of those guest appearances may be availble via the re-posts we did of Festivals - see below for list!

Use the sidebar (at his site) where it says LABELS to click on the artists above to be taken to the posts we've put up for each of them.  Then scroll to the show you want and the new link will be there.

These new links, like all free ones, will expire in 30 to 60 days. That said, don't hammer the links all at once - that's the fastest way for the host to delete them for overloading traffic.  Grab a show or two a day, then come back the next day for another couple, and so on.

By the way, if  I missed a show along the way, or posted an incorrect link, just leave a comment below the post and I'll get it fixed.  Been dealing with dozens of re-posted links so mistakes are bound to have happened.

Enjoy the tunz!

Oh we will Speedyman we will!
