I'm listening to STUMM433.

A compilation album released this week that has 58 Mute Records artists' interpretations of John Cage's 4'33"

As it's Halloween, I'm working my way through the "spooky" era of AFI, started with Shut Your Mouth And Open Your Eyes and have just finished the All Hallows EP

Maybe some Misfits later if I get through to the end of Sing The Sorrow by the of the day

My kids shouting at each other about whose turn it is to go on the X-box.

 

It's half term and their mother decided to spend the week in Spain and so I am full time Dad this week.

Actually I’m watching (and listening to) Gerald McBoing Boing...

 

Pleased to see it all works out for Gerald in the end

I've been bending my ears to assorted Family Guy tunage , fr'instance

What a great song, what a great band, proper. Perhaps the greatest first verse in music, ever...

I'm a human fly
I spell (it) F-L-Y
I say buzz buzz buzz
and it's just because
I'm a human fly
and I don't know why
I've got 96 tears
and 96 eyes

..genius.

I currently have these 4 albums on a fairly heavy rotation. I'd forgotten how superb they were. How the hell can Dazzle Ships be 36 years old???

Nothing quite like having your a$$ handed to you by a guy in a cardigan and another in a turtleneck....

I think the first side of this album is one of the greatest pieces of rock music there is.

The whole album is a masterpiece for me, it's a million miles away from their highly lauded first album and far better, I just wish Algy was higher in the mix.

As am I, really digging this.

The album, A Song for Paul, is well worth a listen - if you like that track then I reckon it’d be right up your street. 

I can’t think of an album I’ve liked so much for a long time...

Just played along to Sultans of Swing on Planet Rock. It was in Dm. Played along to it last night and it was in Db m, or very nearly so. Really odd as I've been playing it in Dm for decades!

Think it was a bit off. Songs on the radio are usually pretty consistently in key, but are there two versions out there or was it possibly slowed down a tiny bit to fit broadcast timings?

Loving been introduced to Kinga's work by Q, she is such a fresh and fun and very talented bassist:

 

Lots of fun to be had! I'm happy just to be able to do the 'chorus'!

Some great bass, some fine flute, some Dizzy G, man they swing.

And Monk solo , making you think that the right hand doesn't know what the left hand is doing but he never loses the form . Genius :

Interview with drummer Frankie Dunlop about Monk the Teacher :

I have noticed a lot of bands fail to make Li'l Darlin' swing like the Basie Band .
Motorcycle trials riders tend to be better at motocross than motorcrossers are at trials .
