Seeing as it's the day
that's in it, here's Ryan Adams's Halloweenhead, from
the album Easy Tiger. (iTunes Music Store link)
(Lyrics contain some words that might offend. "Shit" and "Fuck" to be precise.)
The video itself is from a Finnish dance instructor. Here's the original.

It's only
recently that I have started to listen to Radiohead
to any great degree. I missed out on them initially
when they first became known, mainly because I was
living in rural France and didn't buy a single album
for nearly 18 months. By the time I had
re-established a music-buying habit, they were big
time and I wasn't really interested in big time acts.
Their performance at Glastonbury ten years ago was seen as one of the great sets at the festival, and as Glastonbury is on again this weekend, I thought this might be appropriate.

Nothing from
YouTube this time.
Wilco release their new album "Sky Blue Sky" next week and are kindly allowing fans to preview it in its entirety on their site.

When I was
living in England back in the late 80s and early 90s,
I tried to keep in touch with the music scene in
Ireland as much as possible. I used to buy Hot Press
from a newsagent in Oxford Street, and bought several
albums based on their recommendations. Cactus World
News...hmmm...wonder whatever happened to them…
Anyway, one Irish album from that era has remained with me is 'Speak Slowly' by The Stars of Heaven. These guys really had Next Big Thing potential, and John Peel was a fan. But sadly 'twas not to be.
This is "28", track one, side two from 'Speak Slowly' (for those of you old enough to remember vinyl.)

Just so's
that you don't think that I take this too seriously -
a bit of comedy this time.
Spinal Tap performing their paean to the larger lover - "Big Bottom"
"The looser the waistband, the deeper the quicksand, or so I have read…"
A bit of Tap trivia - Harry Shearer, who plays bass player Derek Smalls in the movie, is one of the main voiceover artists in The Simpsons, providing the voices of such characters as Montgomery Burns, Waylon Smithers, Ned Flanders, Rev Lovejoy, Dr Hibbert, Lenny, Principal Skinner, and others.

"Body's In
Trouble" by Mary Margaret O'Hara. The video is
showing its age, but not the song. Hard to believe
that her one and only album
came out
nearly twenty years ago. It remains one of my
all-time favourites. I saw her in concert in the
Prince of Wales Theatre in London around 1989.
Weird but awesome.
MMOH was the subject of some heated debate in the Bog O'Sphere last October after her controversial performance along with Gavin Friday at "Came So Far For Beauty" at The Point. "Fucking screeching zombie" was one description of her contribution to the pair's take of Leonard Cohen's "Hallelujah."

An oldie, but
a goodie! The Band with The Staple Singers performing
"The Weight", from the Martin Scorsese movie "The
Last Waltz".
I only just noticed this, but the mix of this song on the DVD is different to the one on the soundtrack CD. Never mind, as it is, as Mavis Staples whispers at the end - "Beautiful!"

I've been
trawling through YouTube (or iTube as Ryan Tubridy
called it recently), and have been pleasantly
surprised to find a fair bit of music on it that I
like. So, I'm going to foist some of it on my loyal
readers (all three of you) and hope it doesn't scare
you all off.
First up is a track from The Minus Five called "The Town That Lost Its Groove Supply", which inspired this idea in the first place. The Minus Five is an irregular group made up of musicians from other bands, some well-known, others less so. The main man is Scott McCaughey, who also fronts a band called Young Fresh Fellows. The best known member is Peter Buck, he of REM fame. Jeff Tweedy of Wilco is also a frequent contributor, and M5's 2003 album was entitled Down With Wilco.
Take it away, boys.
