I'm cooking today so in the kitchen slurping a red wine pretending I'm Keith Floyd and listening to a Rod Stewart playlist I made ages ago. Old stuff, when he was a rocker and handled blues and ballads equally well.

Good old Keith. He was brilliant presenting his shows. If he made an arse of something he was cooking he just came out and said it and would chuck the pan, food and all, over his shoulder, have another slurp of vino and start again. 🤣
 
Got Billy Joel concert in London 1984 on Youtube.
Goodnight Saigon current choon.
 
Heard the original by Astor Piazzolla on Classic FM and thought I've heard that track before.

Still makes me laugh. Does humour belong in music?, as Zappa once asked.

I moved away from loads of singers/bands as they developed their careers but I think he disappointed me the most.

After moving to the USA Rod Stewart became a regular on the 'Las Vegas' show circuit and just like the Pelvis he became bland, boring and irrelevant (IMO obviously).

I've got a double cd of The Faces and Rid Stewart and the Faces.

Top notch.

The last decent song I rated from Rod and the lads was Poolhall Richard.

I saw Idles in Belfast on Sunday - a fantastic night of lefty post-punk love and kindness. In celebration of immigration and immigrants, I give you...

Two tracks that IMHO either live up to or exceed (MIA) the source materials that they lift from.

- edit … moved MIA to next post as only one embed works properly per post it seems

I was just reading that MIA is now a Trump fan, which is quite amusing given she was a darling of the urbane middle class radical.

MIA was also a conspiracy theory nutjob so that doesn't really surprise me. Cracking tune nonetheless.
 
I see you got the power by win is on Spotify. How the feck that wasn't a massive hit beats me. Banging tune which iirc was used on the bizarre mcewans lager commercial.

Along with rattling boy by goodbye Mr mckenzie and tinder by hipsway was just vintage Scots music which should have been huge imho. Was a raft of great Scottish bands around that time with the likes of love and money ,hue and cry and many many others.

The McKenzies are originally a product of Bathgate. I was at school with them.
I used to work with the original bass players brother who got me a cassette tape with all their demos tracks and original versions of their hits. Still got it up the loft somewhere

I didn’t know or had forgotten that. My mates sister used to bump around with them, and I’m pretty sure Shirley Manson is from Edinburgh ?

Aye, they. ‘emigrated’ to the big smoke quite early on. The guy in my class at school on bass guitar jacked it at that point as he had a job and didn’t think things would develop for the band so didn’t want to take the risk.
He used to bring his bass in to class and would give us a rendition of the opening chords of The Skids’ Into The Valley. It was mesmerising for a bunch of wannabe punks like us
 
Probably going to see them then morn at the Dublin Castle boozer. Hibees game first of course. Going to where the London Hibees go to watch the games.
