Gary Clail – Cibo Matto and Lisa G – were my fav’s – great playlist …
my contracted Mountain Goats suggestion would be “Thanks for the Dress” - Not his finest – but it’s always good for us each to find a song.
Goats had a week off last week (could only think of Trunks & Tails with Peter on vocals & JD on harmonica). Plenty to choose from with something a little stronger than beer. Suspect we could always e-mail JD & ask him to write a song about x over the weekend.
Lovely list, Shoey. My favourites were Misty In Roots, Cibo Matto and Laura Cantrell (you know I like a little country).
Title track & only original from Laura’s Kitty covers album. Don’t go pure country that often, myself but Laura has one of those voices & writes great songs.
Ooooh, Found a Mountain Goats song for you….
Flashing Lights —
I am wearing a white long sleeve button down
The pink colors behind the clouds tonight
Mirror the softer shades of your nightgown
As the neurotransmitters go crazy inside of me
Good one – Sweden’s a great album. Almost tried to shoehorn Cotton, as it’s one of my favourites, but it’s clearly a reference to left behind drug paraphernalia.
Hi Shoey, checking in here as I won’t be revisiting that set of Earworms any time soon!
Nice to see you in the shoe lounge – been a while. Just be careful around the Underworld section – don’t want to set off your electronica allergy.
Funnily enough, I’ve just jumped from Fops to Mountain Goats, so that I could get to Laura, Damian and Howe before I crash out.
You know me too well, sir!
Two faves here were two of the tunes I already own – Misty In Roots & Damien Jurado, and I owe you another BIG drink, Mr.Gazer!!!! An idle glance at damienjurado.com has revealed he’s touring and it’ll cost me a mere tenner to get in to see him in Leeds next month. Going on the calendar RIGHT NOW.
Hope he brings a band with him – the acoustic set I saw was almost too gloomy to take (& I like gloomy).
Joint headlining with Megafaun, but whether that means they’ll be backing him, I don’t know. Must go, alarm in 5hrs.
another (too) infrequent visitor here.
A fun playlist as always, some nice absurdity and loveliness too.
Liked the Mountain Goats – mainly because of the Marduk mention !
Well, you have a pretty cast iron excuse – must be getting close?
still a couple of months away, but it looks ready already and the sleepless nights have already started ! !
Underworld’s the only song I knew here. Lisa Germano and Laura Cantrell the best-dressed for me. “Argentina’s main export is beef” the most unlikely lyric.
Unlikely lyrics were Gary’s specialty – although this one references his own “Beef” anthem. Not many other record labels had a scaffolder from Bristol as their live show warm-up MC.
