Patrick & Eugene "59th Street Bridge Song (Feelin' Groovy)" (Simon & Garfunkel cover) Earlier the sun was out and I was cleaning and this hit the shuffle and I was, oh, so happy. Vivane Serval "Une Femme Amoureuse (A Woman in Love)" (French Barbra Streisand cover, comp. the Bee Gees) A few of today's songs are France- or French-related. The other night I had a dream that I was an American Idol contestant and got to meet Barbra Streisand and was the only contestant who'd [...]
Well instead of the usual Scottish cronyism when it comes to sharing the blog love, recently the Toad has been browsing a little further from home, on the graceful shores of Fits & Starts . He may not be Scottish, but Terry is descended from Scottish stock - actually, I say that as if I were Scots myself - I'm English, you know, I just live here! Anyhow, the first posts I found on his page were about The Indelicates, ELO's Mr Blue Sky and a Turtles cover from a Cinerama Peel Session [...]
Christ almighty you lot are a bloody merciless bunch. It's easy to be Mr Bounteous Blogger of Beneficience when there are lovely tunes to share and we can all hold hands and love one another and be one big happy internetty family. But the second there's some hard work to be done, a bit of graft to be put into the relationship you shower of fuckers are nowhere to be seen. So who gets stuck with the mp3 blog equivalent of changing the shitty nappies, doing the washing up, making the kids their packed lunches, sucking off [...]
Cinerama - You Turn Me On I'd like to dedicate this track to my friend Elizabeth who says she might be going off Gedge... If you're reading David, I'm sure she's only joking... I hope so anyway. I've mentioned before on SVC about how I think David Gedge is a seriously, seriously underrated songwriter and lyricist. I know some say It's all teenage angst and miserableisms etc and he should just bloody cheer up, and act his age... blah blah blah! There is that side to his [...]
Ah, bad news, folks, as one of my favorite places in the whole blog world has called it a day. We are fading has decided to end his blog. This makes me very sad, for a lot of reasons, not the least of which is that he provided such an honest, welcoming place to go, a refuge of sorts where I and a lot of other folks could take off our masks and say just about whatever we wanted, knowing that he would always listen. Another reason I'm sorry to see him go [...]
Welcome to the 100th post of Quick Before It Melts . To celebrate this special occasion, and mark the first joint contribution between us, we thought we would look at the unsung heroes of the recording world, the folks behind the studio control panel responsible for making some of our favourite artists sound as good as they do. Who are they? What have they done? Who would we like to see them work with in the future? You're about to find the answers to those questions and more. Without further ado, we introduce... [...]
I am a huge James Bond fan. I have been ever since my family first got cable in 1979, when HBO was running a Bond festival. Every Saturday night, we would gather around a big bowl of popcorn in the family room to watch whatever 007 film they were showing that weekend. Later that year we went to see Moonraker in the theater, and that began a tradition. Since then I've gone to see every new James Bond movie with my dad. This Friday, I'll be taking off early from [...]
Last month I lost the only car I ever loved... or more accurately, the only car that ever loved me back. Saturns are great, but unfortunately they dont stand a chance when sandwiched between two Jeep Cherokees. The lasting legacy of the accident, other than learning that physical therapy really really sucks, is that for the for the first time in my life I have a car with a CD player. I know...
