Bubbling under at number 6 was Best of CBeebies, the other podcast I subscribe to because yes the children do object to Mark Ellen's laugh in the car. Telling them there's been a national debate and questions asked in the New South Wales parliament about this seem oddly to get me nowhere...

Big red sun blues/Lucinda Williams. From the 3rd (4th?)yet eponymously titled and, IMHO, best Lucinda LP. Exemplary playing and production by the excellently named Gurf Morlix.
See me/Luther Vandross. Cripes! The Mrs Path influence kicks in. Not bad by half. Isn't that what they call "fatback" bass?
You made a fool of me/Tasmin Archer. Post shooting Satellites she should have been enormous, even getting Mitchell Froom to produce her. It sank like a stone. Pity, 'cos its a good LP, even if the whitest sounding woman of colour in the world(see strand of some weeks back)
Ride on/O Susanna. Not the song made famous by Christy Moore and others, but a slab of 10 minute american gothic (think decaying southern mansions and consumptive riverboat queens, rather than black lippy)Fabulous to drive thru' Castle Vale to.
About the ocean/Glen Campbell. From the Reunion LP with Jimmy Webb. Beautiful vocal.You can see why he was a short term Beach Boy sidesman Standout track from a somewhat patchy LP.

Further argument ensues re disappointment over absence of Jeff Buckley, Led Zeppelin and Jimi Hendrix (Son) and Father - Joy Division, Motown, Jonny Cash and anything Classical, and even more discussion (shouting) over the futility of such an argument.

Good game though - makes ones want to invstigate stuff one hasn't heard.

Now Be Thankful (Fairport Convention)
I'm Coming Home Again (Dusty Springfield)

Waving Flags - British Sea Power
I Come and Stand At Every Door - Sid Griffin

That's quite good! I don't usually use shuffle because I like to listen to my albums all the way through as nature intended but you may be onto something here!

1) ULTRAVOX - One Small Day (from a Greatest Hits album, and so uncool it proves I'm not cheating)
2) SOFT CELL - Mr. Self Destruct (from 2003 live album)
3) PRINCE - Alphabet Street (hmmm, all going a bit 80's so far)
4) BARRACUDAS - Summer Fun (brilliant record, and the intro still makes me laugh)
5) PAUL SIMON - Rene And Georgette Magritte With Their Dog After The War (from Best Of)

Welcome aboard arbee

HOW good is that song for such a young bunch?

In a foreign place, the saving grace was the feeling,
That it was a heart that he was stealing,
Oh he was ready to impress and the fierce excitement,
The eyes are bright he couldnt wait to get away,
I bet that Juliet was just the icing on the cake,
Make no mistake no
