Versailles Soundtrack - Opening Credits (Official Serie Version) Suitably epic. I thought it was MGMT at first, but it's not, the band is M83. It's almost far too good for opening credits music, but it will probably get replayed often at appropriate times.

The Fall - Victoria As commercial as The Fall will ever get, such a feel-good tune for the grumpiest man in Manchester to have made. 8o

Ian Dury & The Blockheads - Hit Me With Your Rhythm Stick Still sounds as cool as fuck to this day. 8o Dunno how it didnt get banned. Mary Whitehouse must have been on holiday. :\ The outrageous brilliance of the musicianship has been commented on many times, no need for me to repeat that sentiment. Excellent track for playing whilst getting ready to go out. ;)

Steve Harley And Cockney Rebel - Make Me Smile (Come Up And See Me) (1975) (HD) The music positively soars and swings along, still sounds fantastic 41 years later. Who'd have ever have thought that even really great music would have such longevity way back then. 8o Despite the strange costumes Steve Harley and the whole band look as cool as fuck, like they know exactly how good the song is. Awesome solo to boot.

Nina Simone- I Put Spell On You

Dion - Runaround Sue (HD) had a top 50s/60s/70s dj night, the music sounded awesome, so loud it almost blew the speakers. :D

Be my baby - The Ronettes

Nancy Sinatra - These Boots Are Made for Walkin' these tracks need playing very loud, that sliding double bass sounds awesome at really high volume, as did most of the tracks the DJ chose.

Birdy - The A Team [Live]

Ed Sheeran - The A Team [Official Video]

Although Birdy sings as beautifully as usual i way prefer the Ed Sheeran version, it's much richer with the guitar as well as the piano and the amazing backing vocals. Guess you cant do all that when you are just using a piano and your voice, with no additional musicians.

[url]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nYYTLJ8YHi4&spfreload=10 I had not realised how fucking excellent the Stones were, and how many amazing many of the tracks they had recorded were. The music mags i was reading in my late teens time totally slagged off the stones as rock dinasours, which was completelty unjustified considering how excellent most of their blues rock tracks were.

MDB. You know "Victoria" is a Kinks, not a Fall original right? (Just checking). A lot of the rest of your playlist is excellent. My Sweet Lord is in my top ten tunes of all time. And I've loved that Nancy Sinatra bass line since I was about 4 years old.
 
Yeah, that's an impeccable list with Nancy and the Fall there MDB.
Especially love the mention of Dr Feelgood. Fuck i love that song/band/wilco johnston.
He was great with ian dury too - another of your picks. Very nice.

This is a bit darker. But....tasty dark.
The Birthday Party - Pleasure Avalanche
 
thanks for the responses guys, i have responded in the gbl thread. The Birthday Party is Nick Caves original band isnt it? I'll check out that Pleasure Avalanche track now, thanks for posting it, as such tracks are very rarely posted these days as it's now quite some time since The Bitrthday Party played with Nick Cave, and that their stuff was a lot darker than Cave's solo stuff. Yeah that track will take quite a lot of getting into, as i dont find the Birthday Party immediatly accesible tbh.

Yeah Wilco and Dr Feelgood were so good at the time, Wilcos' guitar style was absolutely amazing. Dr Feelgood were so cool and Wilco just added even more coolness to the Roxette track as originally recorded in 1975 according to the person who posted the track. Dr Feelgood sounds so much like Captain Beefheart or Tom Waits even though i think he was English rather than American. Wilco certainly sounds like he is from the south east of the UK rather than being American.

A year or 2 ago Wilco thought that he was going to die from cancer and he helped ghost write a book about all his experiences. He found that he really enjoyed what he thought was going to be the end for him, and the book is called 'The Exctasy of Wilco johnson' or something like that as he found that when he thought he only had a few months left he really made the most of what he thought was going to be The End for him and had a lot of experiences as if seeing the world totally afresh. I think a film or longer documentary was made about Wilco and fortunately the meds he was given for his cancer totally cleared it up, and he now has a longer life expentancy than he originally thought. I've seen some of the clips of the interviews he gave at the time.

DK's guitars were kind of psychedelic. Unique sound thats for sure.
Click to expand...

Yeah, no other punk band sounds quite like the DKs, i think they must be pretty old by now, at least old enough for the pension age.

I love Cast and the Las too, i think they are from Liverpool, but you cant really hear their accents. Such good bands. It's kind of strange approaching middle age, to see all these bands getting pretty old. I guess bands like that are really good, approaching pension age, they probably can't do anything except write and play really good tracks.

Are you from Australia? I had always thought that The Only Ones were an awesome Australian 'post punk/new wave' type band; and one of my all time favorite bands. But according to Wiki they are English and not Australian. Several sources back this up. I'm sure one of my friends at Uni who was also a huge The Only Ones fan must have given me duff information in telling me that the band were Australian :sus: 8o However, it is certainly true that they have been very widely critically acclaimed and have been very influential on several bands; from the wiki article; https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Only_Ones

"Their first single, "Lovers of Today", self-released on the Vengeance record label, was immediately made "record of the week" by three of the four main music papers. A year later they signed to CBS. Their next single "Another Girl, Another Planet" became a popular and influential song, and remains the band's best-known song. It is often featured on various musical box-sets featuring a punk rock or new wave theme. After its inclusion on the 1991 compilation album The Sound of the Suburbs, it was re-released as a single and reached no. 57 in the UK singles chart.

The band released their debut studio album The Only Ones in 1978, which was well received by both reviewers and fans.[3] The band's follow-up album, Even Serpents Shine, was released the following year. A year later, they released their final studio album, Baby's Got a Gun. In the summer of 1980, they supported the Who on their tour of the United States, and in 1982 the band officially disbanded. In subsequent years, the Only Ones gained a fierce cult following and its posthumously-released records – live performances, BBC Television and radio shows, and compilation albums – now outnumber their studio albums. Unusually, The Only Ones' discs were never deleted from the CBS catalogue and remain in-print to-date.

Influence

The band members' musical proficiency distinguished them from most of their peers. Their dominant drug-related lyrical themes on songs such as "Another Girl, Another Planet," and "The Big Sleep," also fit in with the Zeitgeist of the era on both sides of the Atlantic. Perrett and Kellie caught the eye of Johnny Thunders, founding member of the New York Dolls and the Heartbreakers, and worked as sidemen on Thunders' solo debut album, So Alone, notably appearing together on the classic "You Can't Put Your Arms Around a Memory". However, drug addiction, particularly heroin use,[11] derailed their career, and singer/guitarist/songwriter Perrett has only sporadically been heard from since the band split in 1982. He briefly resurfaced in the mid 1990s with the album, Woke Up Sticky.

Lead guitarist Perry went on to play as an active session guitarist for artists including The Sisters of Mercy, Evan Dando and Marianne Faithfull. More recently, he has written several well received music biographies on the Who's seminal hits compilation Meaty Beaty Big and Bouncy,[12] the Rolling Stones' double album Exile on Main Street and in 2004, Jimi Hendrix's Electric Ladyland. During 2005-2006, he played and recorded with singer-songwriter Freddie Stevenson.

The Only Ones have been influential on the indie rock and alternative rock scenes ever since their initial success, on bands such as The Replacements, Blur, Nirvana, and more recently The Libertines. Several bands have covered their song "Another Girl, Another Planet", including The Libertines (at London Forum with Perrett guesting),[13] The Replacements and Blink 182. Their song "The Whole of the Law" was covered by Yo La Tengo on their album, Painful."

I posted a few of their tracks above; unfortunately not many of their tracks from their awesome album 'Even Serpents Shine' are available on You Tube, they seem to get removed pretty quickly every time their best tracks from that album and their John Peel sessions album get uploaded. :\ John peel used to play them a lot in the 80s. Their singer has been a life long heroin addict. I guess you can tell that from some of their really slow and totally laid back, extremely melodic and stoney awesome guitar solos, I saw them on the Jools Holland show a few years ago, the guy has totally lost his abilty to sing, like Boy George and Morrisey who also appeared on the Jools Holland show around that time. Boy George is a pretty tragic figure now, he also had a heroin problem and cannot sing for shit any more, he used to be such a great singer, with a gorgeous rich, smooth singing voice on their most famous Culture Club tracks and biggest hits like 'Do You Really Want To Hurt Me' and 'Karma Chameleon'. Same goes for Morrisey really, he also used to have such a great smooth and rich voice, but he also has lost his singing abilty imo.

Ida Maria who are from Norway appeared on the Jools Holland show on the same night as Morrissey; they absolutely blasted Morrissey away with their awesome melodic, euphoric post punk style, I love that band, all the other bands appearing on the show that night really loved them too. I've seen them several times in tiny & intimate small venues in Manchester, which is my favorite type of venue, especially when you can catch great up and coming bands like Ida Maria.

They were awesome. Ida Maria has such a great voice, she was looking at me as if she wanted to shag me during one of their gigs. 8o Unfortunately I did not quite have the confidence to get to know the band after the gigs and I let that 'opportunity' pass, it would have been strange to be a 'groupie' for the band, it would only have worked if I'd been extremely confident. Iirc Ida Maria hit the Manchester venues several times; and this was just very shortly before I discovered Mephedrone, which did make me feel a lot more confident than usual. They have a great sound. An old work friend of mine who is from Sweden is also a big fan of the band, and knew them quite well socially, he said that they were really cool and Ida Maria was really friendly. They all watched Sweden playing football together. Judging by their lyrics and the things Ida Maria said at the gigs she seems to be quite a heavy drinker and a lot of her lyrics are pretty overtly sexual.

This track is one of my favorites of theirs; they sounded absolutely awesome live; a really sweet as fuck punkish sound; and such an enjoyable totally euphoric punk sound; which is my absolute favorite punk 'flavor'. From Wikipedia "Ida Maria later expanded her popularity outside Norway, notably in the United Kingdom where she appeared on Later... with Jools Holland, was interviewed by The Times, and performed at the Glastonbury Festival.[2] In September 2009, she released a remix of her first single "Oh My God" with punk rock icon Iggy Pop singing backing vocals." That was a really cool catch for them having a legend like Iggy Pop appearing with them and doing backing vocals. 8o

Ida Maria Morning Light Every track from their first album released a few years ago is awesome. Their guitarist gave me quite a strange look as i loved the band so much and i found tracks like the above awesome for emotional release. Quite strange really, I dunno if he thought he was 'too cool' for Ida Maria, or if i misinterptred his look.

The Only Ones played their old favourite tracks from the from the late 70s and early 80s on the Jools Holland show. I love Jools Holland; he's so cool; he used to be in a pretty cool 'New Wave' / 'post punk' type band called Squeeze; Squeeze - Cool For Cats (1979) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pblSU5M1d1Y (probably their most well known track and their biggest hit, they also had another big hit with Squeeze - Up The Junction https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RQciegmLPAo which was also a pretty cool track from that era.)

My uncle who is a few years older than me was just the right age to catch all the punk bands and other cool as fuck bands of that time. He was into bands like Squeeze, Dr Feelgood, The Stranglers, The Sex Pistols, and the rather shit Sham 69. His friends and himself were all really into punk, as they all hit their mid-late teens at exactly the right time for the Punk scene, which i was pretty jealous about a few years later by which time i had also got into punk, and he had a really great vinyl collection, and he had had the great priviledge of being able to watch and enjoy that type of band appear on shows like Top Of The Pops.

Martha and the Muffins - Echo Beach This track played automatically on You Tube after the Squeeze tracks. Seems like a really catchy 'new wave' type track.
