Ruddlescat, the Undertones suffer from the 'Prince from Snow White' rule *regularly on local radio. Your Reals and Radio Aires will only play Teenage Kicks whereas 6 Music might play Jimmy Jimmy or It's Gonna Happen at best.
After an incident where one of my boss's much-loved employees left something untoward on a seat at the New Headingley Club, I've often wondered if 'Mars Bars' would be a good choice of pre-show music!

The soundtrack to Get Carter by Roy Budd a nice mix of jazzy tunes with Michael Caine being all hard inbetween for effect.

Loreena McKennitt's new CD The Wind That Shakes The Barley
http://quinlanroad.com/explorethemusic/thewindthatshakesthebarley.asp
A beautiful voice, a back-to-roots and traditional folk album. Very restful.
Not released here until Jan 24th, but you can get it now from her site, cheaper! _________________ Ron |

Someone embarrased me by letting me know of a couple of artists from around these here parts (Peterborough)
Colin Hodgkinson (Back Door) and Lloyd Watson, I have not heard of either before.
I am currently listening to the 801live album where Lloyd Watson and a couple of the members of Roxy Music play, whata great album

Nice one.
Colin Hodgkinson is brilliant - Britain's other great left-handed bass player; plays with Spencer Davis Group as well.

I saw him at Steamin' Blues eighteen months ago with Zoot Money, Frank Diez, Colin Allen and Maggie Bell - the British Blues Quintet

Re:Rockin' With The Pirates - Ross Hannaman's Down Through Summer is on here and this was an early Andrew Lloyd Webber & Tim Rice composition (pre-Jesus Christ Superstar).
Currently I'm listening to part 2 of the John Lennon New York years documentary. It makes a change to hear the lesser-known Lennon stuff. _________________ We are loonies and we are proud!

My granddaughter heard this song and is convinced Rihanna is singing about me and has been waltzing round her house singing "Oh Nana what's my name"...... ...so it's a bit of a favourite of mine at the minute.....

Ruddles, Becky - the Undertones's 'It's Gonna Happen' was on Chris O'Dowd's Little Crackers episode this week!
It was the one about the young Chris being scared of Santa ever since he peed on a chainstore Santa's lap. _________________ We are loonies and we are proud!

Yes I am enjoying this early stuff (the box set)
(I wasn't keen on his later stuff just a wall of sound to me ) |

I'm listening to Jarvis Cocker's 6 on 2 on the i-player. I think he does a good show. A bit off the wall with interesting music. _________________ Pirate Johnnie Walker played my request on 11 April 2009 |

Gyles Brandreth picked this as one of his choices on Desert Island Discs...it's lovely hymn ..I heard it recently in the film Atonement..
Looking on Youtube for it I found this very moving version version by Neil Hannon, who I have always been a fan of.....

Not heard that before Becky, the man can do no wrong. Maybe it's about time I invested in some of his stuff.
Had Spotify on last night and had a music quiz type thing with myself and kept linking to bands connected with so and so, anyway I ended up with this
Vitamin C - Can
And at the moment I am listening to more of Can _________________ You will hear gospel and rhythm and blues and jazz, all those are just labels, we know that music is music. |

all I can say is thankyou Spotify again
Listening to the JP podcast again and he talked about a track By Stanley Winston being one the greatest songs ever made so had to search it out.
No More Ghettos In America
on Spotify it's on a compilation called Soul Jewels I Wake Up Crying which really is one of the best soul albums i've ever heard _________________ You will hear gospel and rhythm and blues and jazz, all those are just labels, we know that music is music. |

I'm presently listening to a repeat of the Manic Street Preachers gig from last night on the red button on BBC tv
I was lucky enough to be there and I can honestly say that it was one of the most atmospheric gigs I have ever experienced
It took me back to 1987 when I used to work in South Wales and would go to Blackwood to see the Manics on a cold Monday night when they were an unknown band
I urge all Manics fans to have a look and even others who haven't got the bug yet
