I’ve got a long day trapped in front of the computer, so very glad to find a new list here. Listened to the first half so far – love it. Getting dangerously close to some rock and funkage. Especially loved the Mekons, Dub Syndicate, and House of Love.
me and the Ms. are getting a bounce on (that’s my dancing style – nothing rude) to Withered Hands ‘heart heart’
I do compile a CD every year for our anniversary – it’s today – some of the tracks stick around – some fail – but they do need time to bed in – so to speak… luckily she doesn’t take in the words as much as me, so I don’t have to analyse every turn of phrase, for suitability.
(i’ll drop some tracks for you soon – but I have a sick one year old to contend with – so my mind keeps getting distracted by more important things – and vomit cleaning….. )
I thought I was bitter and twisted about lurve, Shoey, but that flowchart takes the biscuit! I take it Mrs S hasn’t seen it….
btw I think you have the ‘no’ and ‘yes’ actions reversed at the bottom.
“Does She Still Care” that she saw the flowchart, as opposed to does she care in general & it works. & no she hasn’t seen it.

Rock? Sure. Funkage? Not so sure. Shriekback is as close as you’ll get this week. Glad you’re liking it so far.
Ooooh, vicious! We don’t want your money, Shoey, but we do like the music. Thank you.
That’s just as well, as there isn’t much.
Mekons -Where Were You? is a great song indelibly associated in my mind with long years of getting nowhere whatsoever in the relationship stakes!
Unrecognizable folksters these days. Last year’s album wasn’t bad, but would have liked some more where this came from.
If ever there was a band from the punk era that satisfy the “one classic song” epithet then the Mekons are it. But what a song !!
LOVED Mekons – Press – Goats – Monochrome Set .. and haven’t played any House of Love for a good long while enjoyed that too…
all good.. very much enjoyed the listen. Ta.
Mostly oldies this week. Difficult to romance with anything just fallen off the interwebs – these things take time.
