Anyone on here into Michael Kiwanuka?

 

I heard his song, 'Black man in a white World' on Sunday & have had to order his forthcoming LP on the back of it, absolutely brilliant. Imagine Curtis Mayfield & Marvin Gaye wrote a song for Bill Withers & you're getting there.

 

He's on Jools Holland tonight apparently if anyone is interested.

You've got my interest Mooky mate, but I'm off out on the piss in a bit.

That's very good Mook. Reminds me of this (Which has bound to have been posted on here before, maybe even by me)

like this a lot. Listening on spotify which is 99p for 3 months at the minute.

 

Spotify is ace, it has millions of tracks on it, yet I'm listening to things I remember from when I was a kid, and they all sound shit.

 

Any playlist suggestions greatly appreciated, as I am desperate that I don't become one of those people that think all modern music is rubbish, and it was much better when I was younger. Just listened to Flock of Seagulls and believe me, it wasn't.

The Avalanches have released a new song for the first time since way back in the way back when. It's called Frankie Sinatra and is pretty good fun. MF Doom is on it.

[Stu Monty]

I just heard an amazing white label Q Tip and Jacksons effort at my local vinyl night. I need that track in my life.

[King Emlyn]

Been listening to Suicide a fair bit lately, I always seem to listen to one particular band almost exclusively for a couple of months and then on to the next, I can't seem to multi-task, anyone else like that?

[cloggypop]

That first Suicide album is incredible. So out there at the time. Fucking love them. The ROIR tapes are boss as well.

[Dr Arthur De Sabre]

Björk tonight, New Order tomorrow... Been a boss gig season this year, Eric Burdon, Noel Gallagher, Brian Wilson, the stranglers, leftfield, and Mercury Rev.

[Mook]

Some mates of mine play in a Ska band called Bombskare and they're on Britain's best part time band at 9pm tonight on BBC4.

 

Worth a look if you like that type of thing.

[Stu Monty]

Fucking ace:

Going through some of my old CD's and came across The Charlatans album Wonderland. Fucking excellent album that. Good easy listening out in the garden with a bevvy.

Some great news this morning, got a message from Newcastle Riverside telling me that Black Grape have added a night to their tour and will now be playing there on November 22nd. Saw them their a couple of years ago and it was one of the best gigs I've ever been to.

 

However, Electric 6 are playing at the O2 on the very same night. Bugger. Gonna have to bin that off now, would have loved to have gone to both.

I'm guessing they no longer want to "take you to a gay bar" for safety reasons.

 

Too soon?

New Felice Brothers album just out, a return to form after the last one which was very disappointing.

 

[Stu Monty]

 

Someone threw that on at the Vinyl night I go to last night. I'd never heard it before in my life. Killer track.

[G Richards]

Just came across Christine and the Queens for the first time. Watched an episode of Graham Norton from a few weeks back and she was the musician on at the end of the show.

 

Very different to anything I've seen in a long time. I looked it up and I think the song was called Tilted. She's a French girl and has dancers performing with her. Having checked online I discovered she also performed at Glastonbury this year.

 

Anyhow, I thought it was very creative and well worth a watch.

Found a video on YouTube on Saturday night when I was half asleep of Steely Dan playing My Old School in 1973, got up yesterday morning & it had been deleted.

 

Pissed off, I'm a bit obsessed with Steely Dan at the moment, I've bough Countdown to Ecstasy which is arriving today & I'll have all their 70s stuff.

Vimeo might still have it mate.  I find music on there sometimes that I can't find on You tube

Found an old 20 gig iPod of mine and it's still working. Been checking out what I popped on it and came across some odd playlists, in the middle of which was this track I'd forgotten about.

I remember that one, good track. Always liked this track as well...

No explanation required. Just Curtis Mayfield being brilliant.

Alan Vega is dead aged 78. What a fucking fantastic band Suicide were. Possibly the most ahead of their time band ever.

Echo this.

Bought her album Chaleur Humaine and it's brilliant. Although Tilted, and her performance skills, drew me in its only about the 6th best song on the album. She is outrageously talented, clearly influenced by Michael Jackson amongst others but with such a modern feel.

Other songs/performances of hers to YouTube:

St Claude

No Harm is Done

This girl could be something special, in fact I think she already is.

[cloggypop]

New album from best live band on the planet Thee Oh Sees is out. It's boss.
