* the latest (or earliest) inclusion of a Christmas song known to the ‘spill – but it’s genius – and so on topic – I had to include it.
bonus track for Fuel – and one I’ve been searching my mind for:
1 Panic In Room 109 The Jazz Butcher
2 It’s Getting Light Outside Clearlake
Great illustration, Saneshane! Beware the jub jub bird, my son!
Hope your young-un is on the mend.
work in progress, Ali – with the poorly Pip flopped on my shoulder .. it’s a real battering to his little body.. but at least his big brother was demanding food at 1.30 AM last night … having got the bug out of his system in a day.
it’ll be over soon…
the Jub Jub’s voice, ‘like a pencil squeaking on a slate’ .. makes my skin tighten with displeasure .. hee hee.
That might be the ‘Spill headline of the year!
(Yeah, it’s Feb. But I don’t use the Gregorian calendar because it is a tool of Big Business. I measure time by the sun and the signs Mother Nature gives us. Like in winter, for instance, the leaves are off the trees and I can see the clock on the side of the Lidl behind us)
exactly tin – why go to the expense of buying a watch when most town halls have a clock… I mean ours hasn’t been wound up since the caretaker lost his job (the government believes anyone with ‘care’ in their job title is stupidly irresponsible and worthless) and now – as that’s the only solution for poor people to tell the time – no-one get to the polling booths on time to vote the asses out.
I have noticed that every bank has a fucking working clock in it and a correct date – just so staff and customers know exactly when their bosses will receive their bonus …. but they throw me out of them for being a ‘smelly artist’ I might go and do a KLF with all their precious ‘paper stuff’ with big unfathomable numbers on.
….thanks for popping in.
Hi Saneshane. Love The Manhatten Love Suicides. Don’t suppose you’ve got Jazz Butcher Conspiracy – Panic in Room 109? I know it’s in my sister’s collection and was a fine garage rocker about looking at the monster in the mirror and wondering what happened last night.
Sorry to hear your kids are ill. Suffering just the same up here in the north. It’s bloody exhausting.
Fuel
Many thanks. I’m indebted. If you ever need some obscure Finnish stuff, I’ll see what I can do.
Sorry, I can’t help with the song you’re thinking of.
found the song it’s Clearlake – my mind is at ease now.
hope that track works Fuel – I haven’t been able to listen as little one is slumped in my arms – with his big brother fit as a fiddle again, it’s like getting a baby gazelle to settle with a big bouncy cheetah pacing the room !
The Manhatten Love Suicides are great – Jesus & Mary Chain fuzz a plenty..
…Following the Manhattan Love Suicides’ breakup in 2009, the four members of the Leeds-based indie group paired off to form two new ventures: the Medusa Snare and the Blanche Hudson Weekend. The Blanche Hudson Weekend sound pretty much the same…
cheers for popping in – I will try and do a write up for RR later.
Actually, the illness started the night I was meant to see First Aid Kit, a week last Tuesday.
Here’s them doing Fever Ray’s “When I Grow Up.
Cheerio
I have been spending most of February falling in love with First Aid Kit.
PS – it is exhausting.. my ms. has slumped today too….
- hope your little ones aren’t suffering too much – get well soon, I say.
the poor doctor here had only seen kids vomiting all week – think she was finding it emotionally draining too.
Oh wow. Sounds like virtually the same thing we’ve had. We’ve been suffering for 11 days now. But we’re over the worst. My eldest is pretty healthy now, so I’m going to take him out and burn up some of his energy in the snow or at the sports hall.
Once again thanks for the JBC track. Got to go the kids are badgering me for some Ninjago help. Bloody Lego.
I see you’ve found it. Lovely choice, Lovely violins on that.
Oh and my eldest likes your Dragonsquirrel.
I’ve got to tweak the Thesaurus dinosaur – to fit a story that DaddyPigs son wrote – my boy thought it was a duckdragon… hee hee
this jazz butcher version is off – Cult Of The Basement
That’s a fabulous picture; we have got to do this story…
Thanks Abahachi – I’ve given Daddypig my e-mail – so he can send me a copy of Benjamin’s story… we shall see what happens – but it could work very well.
Absolutely, the above picture looks fantastic and we must give it a try. I shall be attempting a scan of the original text on my employer’s equipment tomorrow (changing jobs is a pain when it comes to working out these discreet personal-use issues), I think the original hand-written version conveys the story much better. I’ll type it out as well. Benjamin’s keen as well and reminded me the other day to send it.
Particularly enjoyed the bleeping section, but think a spillpint fine should be imposed for posting an Xmas song outside December (Cheers for the Lazarus & WH, btw – that was a good surprise).
I know – If it was anything other than perfect for the theme I wouldn’t of included the xmas song.
Fab artwork, Shane. Some great tunes, too. Donds on the blog.
cheers SR.
What did I love this week? I loved The Postal Service (whose explanation of JFK’s assassination is simple and convincing), Peter Stampfel (is he the one playing the violin) and Jeffrey Lewis, Azure Ray (this was so beautiful it actually made me want to feel hungover so I could be soothed by it), Fever Ray, Panda Bear and Liz Green. And Aesthesys was beautiful. And I liked Frank Turner. And the last two. And Aidan Moffat was, as you say, genius. The remaining few tracks didn’t do much for me on a first listen.
Hope the kids are OK. We had a half-term of sick children too – Matilda had to spend 3 nights in hospital with a nasty cold, but nothing too scary, and she’s OK now.
I only know Peter Stampfel from The Holy Modal Rounders on the Easy Rider soundtrack – don’t know what he plays on this – never got to see the collaboration when the two of them played here.
Azure Ray – I got toffeeboy into when I posted them before – beautiful stuff.
I WILL get around to putting some tracks in the dropbox for you – but with illness and half-term and two contracts to finish I’ve had a stress of a week.
Pip is getting his cheek back finally – he was ‘touch and go’ for the hospital on Friday – just couldn’t keep any liquid down, so dehydration was a real threat. Glad Matilda is OK now … it makes them stronger in the long run I’m told …
