Would It Help To Ease The Pain?...


Smoker says: "Pretty comprehensive compilation here.
The Mick Taylor,Rolling Stones years.
The best guitarist they had and he
pretty much played on all their best albums.
This four cd set should keep you busy for a while. "




may favourite era Stones no offence to the great Ronnie who essentially 
can play anything but I left the Stones around Sticky Fingers 
(not quiteED actually Goats Head Soup is when you stopped buying them . . . . . )

The Ethiopians - Mek You Go On So (1970) 




"The Ethiopians are one of my faves, and the 45 of this reggae tune is impossibly rare, but really fantastic. Just a great vibe.” Guess I’m Dumb

We love The Ethiopians!

Harry Sacksioni - With Or Without You (U2) / The Beatles 'Eleanor Rigby'

 I do have a broad eclectic taste where music is concerned and I try to share that aspect here  so the broad appeal is stronger but I do have blind spots and U2 is one of them - can’t stand 'em . . . .the posturing, the proselytising, the pomp and swagger and tiresome open chord riffing . . . . . . meh! 

So when someone covers them I think oh NOOOOOO! 

but this is new discovery HARRY!



Harry says:  Here is the fingerstyle arrangement of With or Without You from U2’s legendary 1987 album The Joshua Tree, played on my even older Takamine guitar

so to make up for it . . . . . 

here’s his Beatles cover



Harry says: Because I am still a huge admirer of The Beatles’ music, I recently released a CD featuring only my own arrangements of Beatles songs. The CD is called HERE COMES THE SUN. Here is a live performance from my vacation address in Curaçao of Eleanor Rigby

PRINCE COULD DRUM!

I found a clip of Prince playing keyboards and didn’t know he was so proficient at it but then I found this! 


Should have known he could drum - the interplay with his percussionist Sheila E, here is just so compelling


Fred Smith (Television bassist) has died . . . . . . . (77)

 Sad to report the loss of Fred Smith bass player from Television and Christ Stein posted his picture with Debbie Harry from the Stilettos


Chris said: 
Stilettos I guess 1974. I'm hearing that Fred Smith, on the right behind Debbie, old Blondie and then Television bassist has passed on. RIP Fred

Cornershop - Brimful Of Asha, Norman Cook Mix (Tjinder Singh) Official Music Video

"Everybody needs a bosom for a pillow, everybody needs a bosom"

Cornershop continue strongly on their very own label ample play records at cornershop.com This original Brimful of Asha was part of Spin Magazines No1 Album of The Year, & also No.1 in John Peels, BBC Festive 50 - high praise. But it is to this album and others by Cornershop that we would like you to turn, for they have continued to come out with groundbreaking fresh albums - they have become known 'as the greatest cult band of the last 20 years', & each one of these albums have been known as 'criminally underrated'. As good as this praise is, we would like it to be as upbeat as this group can make people feel. Only yesterday someone tweeted 'Both my kids are big Cornershop fans. Louis (8) thinks it's also the best name ever'. We are gaining new supporters & urge you to support us. Please also check out other tracks from CornershopHQ on YouTube, our website at www.cornershop.com, learn more about their evergreen musical catalogue, follow us on twitter..etc...This independent, self released band needs your independent self - please join us, & help spread the word:
