If I hated them I would have said so  ;)

It's interesting the way that some bands really shine when playing live, whilst others are a bitter disapointment.

The studio stuff is very good, "The early Tapes" is my favourite and was a release of their early pre "first" album stuff

Live they are good, the audience last time was packed with musicians.....

Recent good live acts I have seen include Hard Fi and The Pierces - both better than expected

Hazel O'Conner too and best of all live, "Apart from Rod" how were terrific!

A nice song this.

Vinde - I came on to post a link to Paolo and hey presto there was yours! Now is that intuition, synchronisity or great minds .... I reckon I'll go for "great minds"....  ;)

Here then is another one from Paolo which is more upbeat and a little jazzy:

Fastflint - the Pierces are good, beautiful harmony .... wouldn't mind seeing them live ...  :)

Now I've to myself stuck in an early 90s Hip Hop mood. I know that it won't go down too well here, so I won't post any more links after this.

I'll leave you with London's finest grandfathers of the UK scene - London Posse:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p804XjeRczQ&feature=youtube_gdata_player

Needless to say NSFW or little kiddies.

Thinking about it, it's amazing how pertinent their topics are today.......maybe even more so.

OK I lied.....whilst trawling through my hip hop collection I remembered a brilliant remix, but instead found this - genius:

Anyone wanting the original?

Listening to the rest of the POJ's first album whilst finishing some work on a project. The weird thing is that I really didn't like the album when I first heard the material. I instantly loved their remix and sophomore albums so I recently decided to buy and revisit High Steppin - now I can't get enough of it!

That sort of thing doesn't happen to me too often, but every time it does I think back and wonder 'what the hell was wrong with me and why did the music sound so different back then?'.

Thinking back to the earlier posts about the origin of music, I thought this was intersting - ignore the nutter at the beginning:


http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AAG7IbDK-lg&feature=youtube_gdata_player

In retrospect the cats I've had over the years seemed to have emotional responses to different kinds of music. Music studies with apes and other intelligent animals would be interesting as well. I seem to recall a YouTube parrot that loved James Brown.

It wasn't this guy but....

Good groove - nice and funky - a hint of that sound from the 70's with the horns etc, even a bit of Nile Rodgers style guitar licks - would have fitted in well in what we called the "soul box" at Uni in the 80's, where we mixed everything from EWF and Chaka Khan and Brit stuff like "King" and "Love and Pride" - god, taken back nearly 30 years, just like that!

Listening through their first album yesterday I could hear Prince, Bowie and the Beatles flavouring the soup.

Which is no bad recommendation!

Did you find it cheaper than on Amazon?

No, Amazon is your best bet. Up until a few weeks ago UK sellers had it at around the £20 - £30 price range.

These days I wouldn't buy anything without listening to it first. Try the clips at Juno as they are usually longer:

http://www.juno.co.uk/ppps/products/1485259-02.htm

It's not that long ago that I used to rely on recommendations and reviews and needless to say that meant that I would end up with the odd duffer. Occasionally they would turn out to be growers, but for the most part they ended up in the resale pile.

That doesn't happen anymore, which means I have more funds available to by stuff that I know I will like. Anything I'm unsure about goes in my reserve basket for later consideration.

Indeed - thanks for the link

I often find the main problem for me is seeing someone live or on TV "live" of live and then blindly buying an LP.  I really like the Unthanks live, but I find the LP's too much!
