Cocteau’s I already donded.
Damn! Blancmange again. They stand the test of time, I’d say.
I’d also have to say I prefer Earl Scruggs feat. Billy Bob Thornton (ffs) to Social Distortion – but that’s just me.
It’s a great playlist.
Super Furry Animals is a wowzer. I already knew I was going to like Soul Coughing. (Is it Black Shadow who introduced me to them?) The 8th Ring of Hell are going on my dond list but Alias nearly made it instead.
Wonderful. Thanks Shoey.
And BTW. Sorry – couldn’t resist nomming that other Gangstagrass song last week. As it happens, Fuel was the only one that picked it up. I have a cute story to tell you about that song some time.
I did notice, glad you liked ‘em enough to go find some more – that’s what it’s all about really. What’s the story? ‘Spill it.
Fantastic first set. Already donded Soul Coughing on the mothership. Social Distortion is one of those bands i always forget how good they sound. Super Furry Animals was great, but dond of that set has to go to Burning Spear, that was awesome.
A Burning Spear version would be interesting, but I think you mean SOD. It’s a DsD fave too, so your in good company with that one.
um, right…it really wasn’t all that reggae-ish was it
brakes/ saxon shore/ soul c/ blancmange/ cocteau’s/ MBM
were my favs .. this could run and run in ever increasing circles couldn’t it?
Don’t know if you’ve ever seen MBM live – Jack puts on an amazing show. Had a few more obscurities originally, but was in the mood for some of the better known this week.
wow, this week’s topic has made me realise what a lot of good songs there are with circles in them. Faves from your playlist for me are Soul Coughing and Godflesh.
Cheers, Beth. Give Mr/Mrs Forbes a dond on the Morhership (wonder if any relation to Steve Forbes?
Love that list. I should’ve donded Blancmange (still have the single),. Think I’ll go for Alias and Eyedea and Abilities as my faves. BTW. I really like what I’ve heard from Gangstagrass.
Hmm.. Lots of different fave picks this week indeed. Cheers Fuel.
