Decision about your fave song now...

[TVC]

Liz Frasers version of "Song to the Siren" is still amazing 25 years(or so) on.

Pure class, always been right near the top of my list

(honourable mention for The Pros and Cons of Hitch hiking as a whole album)


But right now:

Air, So light is her foot fall

Having discovered Beirut on Andy in Sig's 'recommend some non-run-of-the-mill-music' thread I am now totally obsessed with them and can't decide which song I like the best.

So, all of Beirut's catalogue.

Yeah, good aren't they? I found out about them because I was listening to Owen Pallett (previously known as Final Fantasy) who worked with them at some point...

Maria McKee has a voice to bring tears to any eye. Panic Beach, Only Once, Dixie Storms etc etc (just don't include Show Me Heaven, she hated that song for years, but has kind of come round to it after 20 years!).

I can't stop listening to The Wedding Present.

Probably beacuse I'm there quite a bit with work. And also because the person on the same pod as me at work is a Leeds Uni graduate.

I've become strangely endeared to the bloke singing with a Leeds accent about his love lives.

And do they deliver a punky kick. Needs to be heard loud though.

Top choice; the boy Gedge is an excellent song writer.

"My Favourite Dress" is a cracker.

Brimful of Asha - Cornershop. Cracking tune

Nice song. Thanks. Maybe we need a Radio Cycle Chat?

 

[Rhythm Thief]

It's long, but it's good at the start and it gets better throughout. Watch the drummer from 7 minutes onwards.

Two Gallants - Waves of Grain

Oriental Shuffle by Django Reinhardt. Is it OK to cite instrumentals?

Is that about the same thing that "Turning Japanese" is meant to be about?

Yup, even ones by Belgian gypsies!
