I...We do love our Andrew Gold you and me, don't we? I was actually listening to You're Free as I read your blog. 'And I bet it's not just me that finds You're A Lady strangely moving, especially that choral interlude at the end. Anyhoo, I've been enjoying the latest King Creosote album, Bombshell; still loving the poppy Feeling (they've got it all for me, and have learned from my faves) and The Hoosiers, who do a mighty cover of Lonely Boy. Matthew Sweet? Ron Sexsmith? And for some old-fashioned romantic grandeur, Stephen Lindsay, as fine a barely-known Scots genius as you'll find. <BR/><BR/>Mind you, for Christmas I got Peter Fenn Plays Songs Of The Century; yes, the man behind the organ on Sale Of The Century.

There's a Joe Morello LP I've had since I was in the sixth form, but only today have I properly listened to the version of 'Just in Time' on it, with Phil Woods on alto sax and a 17 year old Gary Burton on vibes. Maybe there are enough records, enough books, enough films and enough television already made for us still to have plenty to chew on, even if the whole of artistic endeavour finished suddenly, just after GMTV tomorrow.Louis Barfehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09500085182214151483noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5853971.post-46930107888970642242008-01-28T17:55:00.000+00:002008-01-28T17:55:00.000+00:00I'm so pleased you didn't mention Kate Nash. I'm s...I'm so pleased you didn't mention Kate Nash. I'm sure she's very nice and sends her mum flowers and stuff, but her voice boils my piss. I'll confess to liking pretty much everything I've heard of Richard Hawley's, but it's more of the same, albeit very nicely done, isn't it? As for the female recommendations, I'll investigate and report back, but, historically, pretty much all of my musical heroes have owned cocks at one time or another.Louis Barfehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09500085182214151483noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5853971.post-1878973703263482262008-01-28T16:16:00.000+00:002008-01-28T16:16:00.000+00:00Wot no female artists?

Try the mellifluous tones of someone like Cat Power, Regina Spektor or Martha Wainwright, or the oddball sounds of Joanna Newsom. <BR/><BR/>I can also recommend both of Richard Hawley's most recent albums (Lady's Bridge and Coles Corner), the Decemberists are decidedly different to most artists (Picaresque or The Crane Wife), or what about a bit of Midlake (Trials of Occupanther)?<BR/><BR/>I do sympathise with finding new music, though. After a while, nothing seems that original, does it?bertieronbobhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07022616991812381395noreply@blogger.com
