Entertainment For Lively Minds
This month, I have been mostly listening to...
I only have a tiddly little player bought from Tesco for a fiver, but it serves its purpose just fine for me. Ok, so it doesn't hold many tunes, or have a shuffle feature (essential, I feel), but it'll do until I can finally afford something a little better.
In any case, I wanted to share my current playlist with you. I'm not hugely sure what criterion it uses to order the tunes, although there does seem to be something alphabetical going on...

Runs the gamut from...
the sublime (Lee Dorsey, XTC) to the ridiculous (Aerosmith, David Lee Roth) to the s**t (Nickelback)
A varied selection indeed!
'Love On A Farmboy's Wages' is a work of genius. I love that song so much.
Farmboys Wages.....
I won't remind you, PC, who covers that on their latest waxing. (Clue- village named after a famous(?) civil war battle has an association)
What?!
Are you serious?! Fairport covering XTC?! Well I never!
I'm afraid my Fairport CDs begin with 'Fairport Convention' and end with 'House Full'. I've never really been able to get into the albums after then... probably because of the absence of RT.
And Glenn Tillbrook gets some royalties from them!
Makes a change from Trad arr.
(I'm not necessarily asserting quality or defending the sense of such choices, mind..........)
Yes... Mr Trad Arr Esq. makes a tidy packet...
off Fairport, does he not?
Or they off him!
.
Andy Partridge
Andy Partridge surely not Glenn Tilbrook.
No, read more carefully, welsh buddy
Andy Partridge clearly gets Ploughboy, but the old codgers also cover a Glenn Tillbrook song. (Scuse me while I do a quick check: it's called Untouchable and was on Transatlantic Ping-pong)
To be fair,
I didn't make that all that clear. The AND meant another subject not another thing. But I'm glad you were checking!
Cheers
Ta Retro it all makes sense now. :)
Interesting...
A folk band covering a pop band making a foray into folk... It's all a bit MC Escher, isn't it?
Some odd bedfellows there
But Caesars Jerk It Out is a great record of recent years I would say.
And Eels Novocaine for the Soul is brilliant.
It's not my place to judge...
...but Chicane ft. Bryan Adams, Robert Miles, Holly Valance? We all have our weaknesses I guess...
There's always a place...
...for the oddity in anyone's collection.
