2 minutes is for Prog rock hippies :

 

RIP Mary Wilson

 

Some song that.

Thanks for the music...

 

My favourite...

Not sure about the outfits.

 

I was playing some of my Motown chart busters at the weekend and thought that Mary's deep smokie voice was the sound of the Supremes for me

 

My son borrowed some CDs off me before this lockdown now any where they go the 3yr and 5yr old grandkids insist on the 1st 4 tracks from Black Sabbath Paranoid, Paranoid, War Pigs and Planet Caravan , Iron Man , I'm doing something right at least

 

Here's the new single and video from a great new talent from Brighton...

 

Something of a Portishead vibe to it. I won't be surprised if I hear this on TV shows or in films.
130 views? That'll change.

Do....

Don't...

 

I love The Supremes.

Great songs.

‘60s girl groups rule!

 

Mine too. Without the poisonous influence of Diana Ross and not missing her at all.

 

Not sure I'd tell that story to social services if I was you.

 

I've been doing lots of long walks recently and Billy Bragg has been the accompaniment of choice. In the early years of our relationship, Mrs B wasn't having Billy Bragg's music at any price.

Then, whilst at Manchester University, she went to see him live on the 'Don't Try This At Home' tour...and the penny finally dropped when he did this...

Great video, too.

 

This is the track that sums up the Bard of Barking for me , seeing him do it for the first time still sends a shiver down my spine

 

I always get a tear in my eye for 'Between The Wars' and 'The Home Front'.

 

Someone else is starting to struggle...



The last time they played there. It was a ****ing hot night, I can tell ya...

...and the drummer had to go for wearing that ****ing shirt!

 

All through the lockdown I have mainly worked from home only attending workplaces when needed , as I work in London, Anglia and the southeast I have travelled through many towns and feel a great sadness when I see pubs , clubs and businesses venues that will never open again, doomed to become " luxury apartments " is there a more depressing sign seen outside a music venue . Music and Tottenham are the constants in my life apart from family
I cant wait to see a live band again, to have a pint without booking in and the need of a substantial meal, the joy of wandering into the local and meeting an unexpected friend , stumbling out hours later wondering where those 5hrs went . I also want the pleasure of crate digging in a record shop , finding that album or disc that I didn't know I needed , strange thing is I miss the company of strangers , those conversations struck up about the mundane but most of all I miss my 2 grandchildren that Mrs Conn and myself have not seen in the flesh since September aged 3 and 5 there is so much we miss in their day to day lives , sorry to ramble on ..............COYS

 

You ramble on, mate. It's necessary right now.

My closest mate and I, ring each other every few days to offload. He's a publican on the verge of bankruptcy, who spent Wednesday with a camera up his arse, looking for his cancer. Thankfully, no cancer to be found.

My mum's been critical in hospital for 19 days, following having an operation on a perforated bowel. Given her dementia, I've been more in favour of her slipping away, before she gets to live another 5 or 10 years without knowing who she is. Mrs B's mother's cancer is back in 3 places, so she starts chemo as soon as they replace her pacemaker.

Last Saturday, Mrs B and I went out for a walk. We ended up in Asda, bought a load of booze and downed the lot before we got home. In the last half mile, we rightly attracted the attention of the local police. Imagining the scene on Monday morning has been the funniest thing we've done in ages...

Non-specific Police Officer: ...Err, Ma'am?

Mrs B: Yes, what is it?

Non-specific Police Officer: Do you live locally?

Mrs B: Yes, I do.

Non-specific Police Officer: You weren't out walking on Saturday afternoon about 5 pm, were you?

Mrs B: Was I with a tall bloke with white hair and a very slight bald patch, swaying slightly and drinking in the street?

Non-specific Police Officer: ...Errrr, yes.

Mrs B: Nope. That wasn't me.

 

Out walking walking the dog and this track came on the playlist, I have no idea of the times I've heard this song live and recorded but this line struck home
WHAT CHANCE HAVE YOU GOT AGAINST A TIE AND A CREST , Weller was 18/19 when he wrote this , so much anger and resentment in the lyrics but so relevant now
