Feel like I'm talking to myself but hey- wth

My most favourite song / video thing. Ever.

THis popped up on the sidebar. How do they know? Have this on vinyl and used to like it lots. Nice version. Sounded good at the time . Still does.

ooh yeah. Live. 1973. What a band. In fact.,the best live band I ever saw back then, even beat Alice Cooper(sorry for going on but could be dead soon - so hey - one life and all)

Playing cards , brag, on a Sunday afternoon, on the grass, in someones back garden, with cider, as a 12 year old with a record player.

Ah the bass. How good was Andy Fraser?

I've heard some of these before, but she plays with passion and style, effortless precision. There's a part one and a part 3 also on the same channel.

If you liked her you might appreciate this guy.

ah, yes andy..... me and him go waaaay back (I still haven't mastered 'drifting' yet).

Candyrat really do have some amazing artists. I've had a number of transcripts from them over the years; they even sent me a track for free that was included in the music transcription but not part of the accompanying mp3 download - I originally emailed asking them about the availability of the particular track and their reply was to send me the mp3 in question. I never had the chance to ask how much.

Heard this on 'soul music' on r4 this morning (http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b07zz5y8)
Kandace Springs had a little clip on his program. By far the best version of this song I've heard, imo.

This is pretty close to the version on the radio - solo performance on piano.

Going to have to check out more by his woman.

I remember when I first saw Tired Trite Night. I printed off the tab for it and set about learning it. After about 100 hours I had to give up. Give me 3 chords and an Overdrive pedal instead.

THere used to be a stonking version of this on You Tube but it got popular and the guy decided to make some money and sell it as tuition online so he pulled it (let's face it , who can blame him, who wouldn't?)

This version is as clunky as hell and full of greenies but it's still a work of art (imho) Wish I had a 10th of his talent.

Ah yeah. Windows 95. Remember how "exciting" this was. Being bundled? Microsoft did a cool thing! Played it to death. Still love it. Happy Days!

And now for something completely different.

Founder member was in the Damned and still plays live with John Lydon in PIL

Sasha Baron Cohen - Eat your heart out (and while you're at it , get that Jew back out of the well)

The whole album is excellent.
