I was bo orn under a wandrin star..

 

[Myshkin]

Vic Godard / Subway Sect. Magnificent, influential and unfairly obscure songwriter.

Lawrence (from Felt / Denim, and one of my heroes) thinks Vic Godard's one of the most criminally ignored talents of the past 30-odd years.

Which reminds me, I missed the premiere of a film about him in London t'other night. Apparently Bobby Gillespie was hanging round all night kissing arse. So sorry Loz, I'll catch it at the Cornerhouse unless it fades into sub-arthouse obscurity. Which it may well do.

Felt - Whirlpool Vision Of Shame

 

[YellowPolkaDotHalo]

All your music is really lou reedish sam.. What is that style of singing called?

In that particular case it was called "shamelessly ripping off Lou Reed with A Brummie accent".

 

[YellowPolkaDotHalo]

sort of reminds me of bauhuas for some reason too.

Well hung and snow white tan

 

[Myshkin]

Is that necessarily a bad thing?

 

[YellowPolkaDotHalo]

Maybe its just you that reminds me of Bauhuas..

 

[Myshkin]

Because I'm the happy-go-lucky life and soul of the party?

I hate U2 with a passion, however you've just reminded me of one of my favourite songs....and there's nowhere near enough Bryan Ferry/Roxy Music in this thread.......

All I Want Is You

Street Life

Virginia Plain

Out Of The Blue

Thanks for reminding me YPDH, shame it had to be via U2, but ta anyway

My word, I'd forgotten how much I love Roxy Music. Earlier stuff anyway.

 

[jancrow]

Got Roxy on at the mo. Eno's sense of humour and personality do a lot to knock the pompous edges off them but a great band with or without him.

(ahhhh with or without yooooooou)

Well becoming a smacked out postman for 10 years didn't help..... (I used to work with his wife, George, I have a lot of respect for them both)

I Heard It Through The Grapevine-Gladys Knight and the Pips

 

[JedTheHumanoid]

Been listening to some long, slow songs tonight... Some more user friendly than others. For anyone with a bit of time on their hands this evening...

Slint - Good Morning Captain Fantastic - if you can make it to the 6m40s mark it is worth it... But if you are in a fragile state of mind you may start smashing up your room at this point...

Galaxie 500 - Don't Let Our Youth Go To Waste

...too late I already did...

Felt - The Stagnant Pool

Can't wait to see Lawrence of Belgravia...

 

[Myshkin]

Can't wait to see Lawrence of Belgravia...

Me neither. My mate went to the premiere at the Barbican. I was meant to go but didn't get it together and would've had to find somewhere to stay or pay through the nose further. He said it was great.
