Maceo in Reading. Part 2

Post lunch, we hopped onto Public Transport "Oh, here, it's No Spitting on the bus" I said. Maceo looked at me. "Pass the Peas, and pay the man.”

We get to The Spanish Moon” here, Maceo gets cornered by a local, who was telling him “now that we've found love, Blues Ain't nothin, but a  little bubble”.

As we stepped away, this ghostly figure continued…

"Hollywood has ended; it's the End Days of the Computer Age .

  It's time for us to stop Sleeping in the ground and say Welcome to the jungle!"

Taken aback by this, I stumbled and fell way down in a hole... “Get up outta that Wishing Well” Maceo shouted. Otherwise you'll catch those Buenos Aires Blues.

Maceo's coming to Reading..

Maceo's coming to Reading, we're gonna do Lunch, he wants to discuss his fear of meat, ah, Lunchmeatophobia I tell him. I know just the cure...
so will we end up Stoned, Drunk & Naked...
As Record Collectors we share the distinction of being born in a hurricane of people doing their personal thing, but being Gentle Spirits Under a stormy sky, but suffering from those  Ash wednesday blues, I am constantly forced to get it outta my stystem, all because I witnessed a crime  comitted by the  riders on the storm when it rains, which makes me a Doo Doo Heartbreaker out in the Purple Rain, but as M says, it's all one world...

Purple and blue... part 1

Purple and blue... part 1

I put this together this morning whilst waiting to hear if eldest daughter had arrived safely in Corfu.. the song is for her, the pictures are all taken by me on our allotment this year... I like this concept, better than just a bland shot and an mp3...

Music - it's effect on me

 music just gets into my head, rattles around and sits there until it's thrust into the limelight, then it's a wonderous thing of ravishing beauty, a harsh mistress that demands all your attention  NOW , then sooths your brow, whispers sorry in your ear and runs off with your heart...

Vintage Trouble - Live at The Stronghold

saw these on Jools Holland ... a worthy support band Mr Nelson!

today, I want to introduce... Daniel Martin Moore

another random purchase.. on sub pop, home of Iron & Wine, one of my fave new bands..
What did I have to lose? Guaranteed exchange if not to my taste, beautiful packaging, good price.
So I took it, opened the packaging ( like an envelope containing the CD and booklet)
placed it in my CD player and waited..
Would it be like old sub pop - Noisy , brutal 3rd rate Zeppelin played by speed freaks ? or new style as demonstrated by the aforementioned Iron & Wine?

New Music - number 5 in a random series - "Aloe Blacc"

over on entropy   this was / is a series of posts showing You Tube clips of new artists I've discovered via promo Cd or random purchasing due to liking covers or label or it being a Monday...
So this time I thought I'd start over here and introduce you, dear reader(s) to a new soul artist  that   is occupying my CD player  at the moment.

Aloe Blacc 

was someone I'd never heard of until my daughter pushed me away from the keyboard, mid blog , to type his name into "You Tube" and decry that I'd like him..

She'd heard this track on the radio and clocked it as something I'd appreciate..

She was right, I did. 

Mr Amazon did too as I promptly ordered both his CD's

and I was not disappointed!

"Good Things" is the latest , it's a more polished effort as "Shine Through" is more hip hop influenced, but both a re terrrific examples of someone apearing from nowhere and stacking out a large proportion of my listening time

Here's a clip of the track that started it all, "I need a Dollar", live in the studio...
