Tapes are killing music

2012-01-19T22:11:00.044Z

And new stuff is doing my effing head in

Stupidly being trying to use an ipod touch to blog with (twit) but what the hell

Sat at my bar stool, staring blankly at the other drinkers, chatting and socialising while I carry on with this fruitless excersise ... then somebody walks in, has a little chat, buys me a cider ; later an old girlfriend gives me a kiss and asks how I`m doing.
Some classic jazz is playing in the background which is good, a stag party comes in make a noise, complain about the music and leave, which is also good.
The barman enquires how I`m getting on with my new piece of technology ; fine I lie and swear at it. He later offers me a lift home.
Things aint that bad.

A Message From Santa Claus

Popped into the local alehouse for a stiffener before I started my duties to bring cheer to the poor and needy, but what I beheld shocked me to the core....

It was full of knotted scarfed middle class twats with their snotty nosed Tabithas and Thoms saying "I`ll take three hot chocolates and two mulled wines " while playing with their sodding smart phones and then sitting infront of the real log fire so no one else can see or feel it.

And then they insist " A Fairy Tale Of New York" is the BEST Christmas song ever;

Wankers

.Ho! Ho! Ho!

Saint Nicholas

As I told you before the Best Chistmas song is

Belshazzar`s Feast Hampshire Mummers Song

Happy Christmas Jules

Rain On Rain

Bloody hell last night was a little bit wet. At least it was not snow.

In the bleak midwinter, frosty wind made moan,
Earth stood hard as iron, water like a stone;
Snow had fallen, snow on snow, snow on snow,
In the bleak midwinter, long ago.

Our God, heaven cannot hold Him, nor earth sustain;
Heaven and earth shall flee away when He comes to reign.
In the bleak midwinter a stable place sufficed
The Lord God Almighty, Jesus Christ.

Enough for Him, Whom cherubim, worship night and day,
Breastful of milk, and a mangerful of hay;
Enough for Him, Whom angels fall before,
The ox and ass and camel which adore.

Angels and archangels may have gathered there,
Cherubim and seraphim thronged the air;
But His mother only, in her maiden bliss,
Worshipped the beloved with a kiss.

What can I give Him, poor as I am?
If I were a shepherd, I would bring a lamb;
If I were a Wise Man, I would do my part;

Best carol ever

In The Bleak Midwinter

In The Bleak Midwinter

Bert Jansch In The Bleak Midwinter

Ed Harcourt In The Bleak Midwinter

And for some sunnier Christmas cheer (Ok its very emotional)

This is my first Peel day blog, so here goes

When I was a mere whelp living on the Isle of Wight, listening to the Peel show was more than just music, it was a dream. We made our tapes, played them till dead and some times swapped them; and most annoyingly of all played the in the street.

Most of all though was a feeling of being part of something big that really meant more than our humdrum lives.

And guess what, we were.

Thank you John Peel.

Q. Why is Italian film music just so good ?

A. Ennio Morriconi

ONCE UPON A TIME IN THE WEST (Sergio Leone)

This is such an awsome scene (reportedly directed to fit the music)

the uplifting moment when we share Jills view of a burgeoning town , and can see her own and Americas future.

This is of course the best film ever made (screw Kane), the story was by Leone ,Bernardo Bertolucci and Dario Argento for crying out loud,and it manages to mix it all; action, horror, love, awe, a bit of low comedy and most of all hope.

p.s. In the late 70`s , The Earl of Lonsdale pub in Notting Hill had hippies, bikers, punks and dreads and a great jukebox ; top song......

This lot epitomise what is great about this country; as opposed to the small minded, Daily Mail bottom licking, Eton toff scum that are misruling us.

Steinski & the Mass Media put out this great number but could not release it comercially because C.B.S. were not overly happy with the use of Walter Cronkites voice. Luckly the NME put it out as a 33rpm 7 inch as a free cover mount . Yee Ha enjoy!
