I only realised* that at the start Chas sings ' 'We'll get ya ya ya ...'
* by looking up the words online
Properly bashed the bookies this Cheltenham using my trusty system of simply accepting I know nothing about horse racing and not placing any bets at al 💷💷💷💴
on the internet....can't remember the website. But it's in Belfast (Belfast Belfast)...
Rachel Love has a beautiful voice 😖👌👏👏👏
Written by Lieber and Stoller.
Inspired by a Thomas Mann short story.
Piano played by Randy Newman.
Sung by Norma Egstrom from North Dakota.
And yes, that is all there is from the MB Record Show. Apart from wishing Mike Stoller many more birthdays.

Its The Cords. From two years ago, playing at the brilliant Mono in Glasgow. You can buy a live recording of that show via Bandcamp. But not until you've bought their first LP, which came out last September.
Rather Not Stay, now on the MBRS

Probably my favourite band on steps photo. And my favourite photo of Big Star.
When My Baby's Beside Me now on the LSwMBRS.
I don't need to worry, no. There's no point, is there?

You were told not to stand too close to the fireplace.....
Blood Wizard. New EP out soon - Lucky Life.
It has a song called Lick The Big Star *
Now on the MBRS.

*maybe that's what they did
I still have my copy of the best compilation LP ever made.
Bought it off a friend for £8, summer of 1979.
It would not qualify as 'good condition'
The sellotape has withered.
But it has (Just Like) Romeo And Juliet by Michael & The Messengers.
Now on the MBRS

He's 93 tomorrow. Not a lot of people know that. Well, maybe a lot of people do.
An excuse to play one of the great Madness singles. With Chas/Carl/Cathal singing his own words. Written on paper put into his pocket, I would think.
Now on the MBRS

It doesn't look like it's been Greg Mendez's day.
But no. Hold on.
He's just waiting for the pizza to be delivered ($5 tip ready in his pocket) to save the Uber Eats guy some time.
And his new record 'I Wanna Feel Pretty' is excellent. And on the MB Record Show.
All's good, then.

Great shirt!
“Turned it on it was Radio 1, Sid Jenkins on the air”.
Brilliant.
I know that I played Dr Feelgood on the show last week but they're one of the bands that can do things like that.
Their version of Lieber And Stoller's 'Riot In Cell Block #9 , from the Stupidity LP, is now on the MBRS. With a Tommy Gun, courtesy of The Big Figure.

Special Friend have an LP out. Next Friday. Clipping, it's called.
It has the wonderful 'Breakfast' on it.
They've gone big budget on the video for it too. Erica walking round with her phone.
Sounding swell on the Late Show/MBRS

You never realised you needed a Don't Stand Me Down tee shirt until a crowd in Belfast decided to make one.
While you look, have a listen to One Of Those Things.
Dexys Midnight Runners at their best
buff.ly/eMdRY33
It's Flesh Planet. In the pink. Or something.
From West Yorkshire, or somewhere.
Evelyn is the new record. Excellent.
On the MB Record Show.
buff.ly/eMdRY33
Another from the Scotland Independent Pop collection - Something For The Longing.
Great sleevenotes, too, of course.
Now on the MBRS
buff.ly/eMdRY33
My friend Alison there...
The Coasters.
Without them, Lieber and Stoller's songs would be brilliant songs.
With them, they are brilliant records.
That Is Rock And Roll opening the second half of the MBRS.
buff.ly/eMdRY33
Goodness me!!!
There's no call for that kind of language.
The Yummy Fur , Typical Of Boys. Plucked from the archives by Grant McPhee for his curated collection 'Something For The Longing'.
As heard now on the MBRS (if you're quick, as it's only 43 seconds long)
buff.ly/eMdRY33
Ah, yes. The International Submarine Band. Where , for once, Gram Parsons wasn't the wayward member of the band.
Luxury Liner, GP's composition, now on the Late Show's nautical passage on the radio.
buff.ly/eMdRY33
Marine Store Dealer is a great name for a group.
When We Swim Outside In The Floods In The Streets is an even better name for their new LP.
Dead Men's Songs, from the LP, is a title that's made for the MB Record Show.
buff.ly/eMdRY33
Lieber And Stoller, waiting for the muse to strike. Smoking a cigarette sometimes helped the process. No, I am not playing Smokey Joe's Cafe. I'm playing Dion's version of their Drifters b-side Drip Drop.
Now on the MB Record Show.
Drippity Drop!!
buff.ly/eMdRY33
Wow. How good is this?
The sound of young Derry.
From the newly released Paisley Underground box set , This Can't Be Today.
You couldn't have a collection documenting eighties guitar bands in America without the Athenians....
now on the Late Show
buff.ly/eMdRY33
Sensational
Sister Ghost on a big big stage.
New EP on the way shortly. The Oracle.
It has a song called Embers, which is ..... lighting up/flaming brilliant/warming the cockles of our hearts... on the MB Record Show around now.
buff.ly/eMdRY33
A posthumous collection, which opens with a staggeringly briliant version of Shout. Recorded before Lulu, yes. More in the style of the Isley's epic.
(Alex is the one with the leather jacket, in case you think he's the fella on the right)
Now on the MBRS. All 4'45" of it

Geezo no kidding 🐏 I was there for a colonoscopy.... add your comments here ↙️🤣🙈
