Ivor Cutler is happy:

Incredibly little known footage of Led Zeppelin playing with the Beatles: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oHg5SJYRHA0

My eyes!!!

True Faith has got to be one of the weirdest videos ever. Manchester, so much to answer for.

I'm going to see Bad Manners on Monday. Have some Special Brew.

1982 and I used to sing it about my crush (who benevolent lowered herself to having a slow dance with me at the school disco).

All the boys at the time fancied the girl in the video.

I wonder if Dave Gahan has ever worn a bow tie since then?

How about this for Christmas number 1?

Kinda looks like a pissed Mike Love.

Some Beach Boys fans can't speak highly enough of Mike Love:

Dude! Someone needs to chill, seriously.

All the talk of Fairytale Of New York got me digging around for other Kirsty MacColl classics - hope you enjoy

Nice jeans... wonder how much they are a can?

Thanks Sho!!!

I'm not around as much as I'd like these days so missed this trhead:

Anyhoo:

Here's some of the range of the music I like:


Nick Drake:

An amazing 'folk' guitarist/singer. Died of an overdose of anti-depression pills in 1973 - I could say a wasted life but he has left a small but amazingly beautiful songs.

A cover of 'Time of No reply' this is the Nick Drake song that Jonathan Ross played in memory of Richard Harris the week he died.

AC/DC

Thunderstruck - that riff wow:

Back in Black/Highway to Hell...and AC/DC getting a little political wow again...

Gordon Giltrap

One of the best acoustic guitarist in the world..,if you live in the UK see him when he tours...he does all the time:

The 'Holiday programme' music:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7tx8J5nBRck

And a tune called Appalachian Dreaming:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pa0ERAittII&feature=related

Dodo's Dream: Electric guitar with sound built up on top of each other. Amazing.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G_tXI4GyFZw&feature=related



And some Rammstein to finish with - good solid no nonsense rock:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NfDX-1CTdbw&feature=related

That should have cleared the earwax...

>>Dodo's Dream

I used to have a Boss RC20 Loop Station, fantastic bit of kit. You can loop up to five minutes on it - Fripptastic! Never got as much out of it as I should have done, gave it to my friend who's much better at all that. Great performances Dots.

aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
not Rammstein
*ears are bleeding*

OK then something more melodic..Elton John(s) Saturday Nights Alright...covered by Nickleback.

This is one of my favourite songs of the moment. A balls out version.

OK then something less melodic

Sorry. I'm in one of those moods.

Smashing guitarist. So good it makes one sick.

(was in the other thread.)

The hammering on from nowhere in Africa reminds me of Stanley Jordan:

I often find myself singing this one to myself. I'm very peculiar like that.

(A fuller understanding of the (rather wonderful) lyrics might be gleaned by watching this first - or indeed after - or never, it's your choice or perhaps not. Tricky thing higher dimensons. Collapse the wave function by clicking here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qU1fixMAObI)

One of the piano greats.

Radiohead appear to have plopped Scotch Mist on YouTube:

http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=ukythkK4EPQ

Frightfully splendid it is too.

Great covers from the dub band that reworked OK Computer...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7kSUe5R_pfQ

...and Dark Side Of The Moon

An incredible cover of Crazy played on a theremin.
