Do you read music magazines while your eating your dinner ? If so what do you like ?

[Live at the Witch Trials]

Hi Fellow Forumites I Dont mean to be presumptious firing of threads and all but .......

They say music is the Food of love. I go further and say that music is food on account of going without food and cigarettes in order to buy any given Albumn i desired (though that was back in the Day as now I have a Boss called the wife).

If I might be so bold I thought I would post a some YouTube clips of some of the music I like.

I Invite you to do likewise even If you do have Bad Taste because as Oscar Wilde tells us "Bad Taste is better than no Taste at All"


I start off with Jilted John and "Gordon Is a Moron". I love this song for Three reasons.

1/ It tells us not to take music too seriousley.

2/ Funny Lyrics that Work.

3/ Classic Punk Riff.

Next I would like to add XTC and Making Plans For Nigel. XTC were well ahead of their time and this song is timeless. It has wierd Lyrics with no definitive Meaning and the tune is really Catchy I find XTC to be an Enigma of their ERA.

Now I would Like to Add David Bowie and "Ashes to Ashes". This is from Bowie's Last good Album "Scary Monsters super creeps". It reprises the Major Tom Character which is clever and It has that haunting distorted piano sound.

The video is very 80's in its construction and in some parts a little dated. I like the Imagery of a Clown some Jesuit Priest's and a ballerina walking infront of a Bulldozer. (Its Cheese but nice Cheese, Think Shropshire Blue as apose to Homogeneous crap bought in any given supermarket).

I always liked this song on account of the line "I got a Letter from the Action Man" because when this song was in the charts I was a child who played with Action Men Figures and any song that mentioned Action Men had to be good !

I couldnt start a thread about Music without Including The Fall. This Song Is called "15 WAYS" and Its great ! Its taken from the Album "Middle Class Revolt".

And while I'm on about the Fall Heres another and Its a Classic ! (you should be greatfull to me for introdicing this very song to you ! )

Classic repetetive Riff.
Strong pronounced Drums.
Great lyrics that are a good story. (the song is about a man who buys some wings goes for a fly and ends up being transported back to the American Civil War).

This song is in effect a lesson regarding the lack of limitations in song writing.

Captain Beefheart " Ice Cream for Crow "

I love Captain Beefheart as he is a true Genius ! He is one of those unique people that has presence.

Its all the Romantiscism that goes with the Mojave Desert that I digg. And Ice Cream for Crow what a song title ! its great.

Also I like the fact that Captain Beefheart locked his band in an old wooden shack and wouldnt let them out till they had perfected the "Trout Mask Replica " Album. and when he let them out of the shack they recorded the whole album in one take !

What a Character !

Last off I add Tina & Ike Turner and "Proud Mary" I add Tina Turner Nominally as she is a true testement to what you can achieve if you believe in yourself !

She Is one of my role models in my little old life. When you think how she suffered at the hands of her husband and how she believed in her self and leftt with nothing but the name of Turner achieved so much solo sucess.

What a voice she has and what presence aswell.

If I am frightened I dont think of Jesus Christ to save me I think About Tina Turner and she reinvigorates my spirit !

The song "Proud Mary" written by John Fogerty has the lyric

" You dont have to worry if you dont have any money People on the river are happy to give"

I love that.

Ok ok ok ! Just one more song !

"The Band played Waltzing Matilda" by the Pogues. Being from Irish Patronage when drunk I am prone to turning into a Plastic Irishman. And what better song to listen to whilst having a sudden outburst of Nostalgia !

Just listen to the lyrics.

Hope that you enjoyed the songs and God Bless.

TOUCH SENSITIVE:

With the godlike earth shattering-uh line ...

"And you're dying for a pee ... so you go behind a tree ........ "

Warrrrrghhh ... get thee behind me you code selfish-indulgent-uh Radiohead buffoons-uh ... you are still babes in arms compared to Mr Mark Edward Smith

{Oh and the choir of 55 Billion Mark E Smiths chanting "I know I know I know" at the beginning and the end ... absolutely gob-smacking awesome}
