What Are You Listening To? V. XXVII Durty Basslines

Camper Van Beethoven - Take the Skinheads Bowling

A classic example of a great obscure indie garage band track imo. I love how it's completely timeless. Sounds just as good now, if not better, than it did when I first heard John Peel play the track some 30 years ago. I feel so old when i use the phrase "thirty years ago", must stop using that phrase. 8( :\

Somehow this track would only have worked coming from an American Indie band, the humour and 'wackyness' just wouldnt have worked if they were a British band, imo. :?

One British band that always got the wacky humour right are the legendary half man half biscuit

Half Man Half Biscuit - 24 Hour Garage People (Peel session)

"I fancy I’ll open a stationer’s
Stock quaint notepads for weekend Pagans
While you were out at The Rollright Stones
I came and set fire to your shed
‘Cos you probably work at an all-night garage
You probably work at an all-night garage
You probably work at an all-night garage
With Talk Radio on

And you curse my soul if I don’t want petrol
Curse my soul ‘cos I don’t want petrol
I only came down for a tube of Pringles
…Sour Cream and Chives

Because you gotta get up off your fat arse to go and get my crisps and you gotta go around the counter and it’s really inconvenient; and when you come back, you toss them into that sliding metal tray device thing that separates us and you say: “One pound thirty-five”, as opposed to: “That’ll be one pound thirty-five please, sir”. This is of course done to annoy me but has the opposite effect of amusing me no end, because suddenly I’ve got other things to buy…

“I’ll have two Scotch eggs and a jar of Marmite,
Two Scotch eggs and a jar of Marmite

Two Scotch eggs and a jar of Marmite
…what sandwiches have you got?”

Well now you become quite irate and your voice becomes louder, and you start to sound like Leadbelly at the Depot…

“I got ham, I got cheese, I got chicken, I got beef,
I got tuna-sweetcorn; I’ve got tuna-sweetcorn…”

I’ll have ten Kit-Kats and a motoring atlas
Ten Kit-Kats and a motoring atlas
And a blues CD on the Hallmark label
– that’s sure to be good”

LMAO.

God Gave Us Life

Thanks. :D It makes it all worthwhile when someone finally clicks on of your links, and so much more so if they like what they hear. I do hope that you will like at least some of the links I posted. They all sounded blisfull at the time thanks to a little chemical enhancement. Well all the tracks after HMHB, when i then decided that i was in the mood for another long intense musical indulgence of some of my favourite tracks from over the years that i rarely get the chance to listen to.

I dunno, I dont mind hearing Daddy Cool now and then, as naff as it may be, it's arguably got one of the most catchy and belting deep basslines ever, and nearly always succeeds in getting my adrenalin pumping and lifting my mood. (Hey if a few people are honest enough on here to risk loosing whatever 'cred' they may have, by admitting to liking James Blunt and perhaps the one and only half decent track Cliff Richard ever recorded (those few people include myself), then Boney M aren't too much worse, at least some of their better 70s disco tracks, if you like that kind of thing. I'm afraid i do have to draw the line at Rivers of Babylon and Brown Girl In The Ring which i do find so irritating that they are unlistenable. If you ever found yourself in a small village disco in your pre teens either of those tracks would nearly always be followed by the Birdie Song or Black Lace:eek: Even at that age anyone with half a clue would not just clear the dance floor but would be totally out the building as quickly as if it were on fire. :D
