Let's Try Again, Shall We?

Here are both sides of my fabulous tape, this time housed on a rival filepilfering site. If this doesn't work it might have to become one of those Great Lost Projects because it took bleeding ages to upload, which suggest you might be wise to pour yourself a stiff one while you're waiting for it to do an incy wincy spider down your broadband guttering. I am dispappointed to learn that my new favourite song was used on an advert at some point, so its charms may be lost to those of you of a telly-watching disposition. I assume this happened in the 90s, because I'd certainly never seen it before. I have included tracklisting documents.

Here goes. I hope you derive something other than frustration and annoyance from this. As a special bonus, the URL almost contains the word "jizz". Shoud boost my download count considerably. If that is not enough, Blogger gives me sone examples of labels for this post, in this case "scooters, holidays, autumns". Why not try to write a short stroy of not more than a thousand words incorporating these three elements? You could post your finished story in the comments section, so that I feel more popular than usual. But I digress:

Feb 2010 C90 Side 2

Here is side two of MY TAPE. I think it is better than side one because it has some singing on it and also ROXY MUSIC who are brilliant and my new favourite song, PUSH A LITTLE BUTTON by 60s technophobe NINETTE. The last song is very poignant, COME LIVE WITH ME by HEAVEN 17. It is so poignant you are supposed to sit in silence after it has finished, pondering life's missed opportunities and wishing you were 37 again.

Don't say I never give you nowt.

Incidentally, thanks to BOTH PEOPLE who downloaded side one, I'm touched.

Feb 2010 C90 Side 1

Here is side one of a tape what I made (link below). It is mostly instrumentals. Side two will be songs with singing on them, for the most part.

Laurie Johnson tracks are from The New Avengers

Phenomenal Cat is a Kinks instrumental of the Village Green track. It is... Floydian.

101 Strings Orchestra is a groovy freakout involving a young lady getting a jolly good whipping. I have no doubt she deserved it.

The Byrds prove their Coltrane thing goes all the way up to eleven.

The Dead Weather had the good grace to include a corking instrumental on their debut album.

Big Youth Fights Against Capitalism is heavy dub by King Tubby. It also serves as a tribute to the recenlty deceased Yabby You, my favourite Jamaican renaissance man.

Gene Page - Black + Dracula = Blacula.

United is a Gamble and Huff track here presented in a sumptuous instrumental version WITH HARPS AND THAT.

Duane Eddy jumps on the lunar exploration bandwagon so beloved of instrumentalists and ends up sounding like a Joe Meek protege.

Bill Justis's Flea Circus is on Sun Records. Well I never.

Black + Rio = Black Rio. Bluesy Brazil.

A Sly and Robbie dub with more bass than is really sensible, thank goodness. Nice title too.

Louie Ramirez does another Gamble and Huff tune with lashing and lashings of disco strings swirling around the lation percussion.

Pipeline is the opening track from Johnny Thunders' album with the likes of Phil Lynott and him out of The Only Ones.

That is all. Stay tuned for side two, which I will have to be quick about because it's nearly March.
