Nostalgic Things

Four weeks on I feel this needs a repost

RTC400 Digital Tyre Inflator 12V DC E38-ED

Anyone got any digital tyres that need inflating?

I like that too. They may appear again 🧐

Peter Powell smiling and giving the creeps at the same time. The worst thing is that, even with such a scary smile, he would have found someone to have sex with.

YouTube video by Athlete Band Athlete - Tourist (Official Music Video)

When you think of the band Athlete, most people would think of the song Wires. This choice though is the album name. I just really like the guitar line on Tourist.

YouTube video by morrmusic Radical Face: Welcome Home, Son

I think this was used on a Nikon advert, but it’s a lovely song from Florida’s Ben Cooper. Stripped back, unapologetically emotional. There’s nothing wrong with that.

YouTube video by Adam Buxton DON'T MAKE ME A TARGET by SPOON (FAN VIDEO BY ADAM BUXTON)

If it hadn’t been for Adam Buxton, there would be a good chance I would have never heard of Spoon. Yes, they’re a guitar band, but the songwriting is excellent. Buxton‘s ”fan video” included for this one

YouTube video by Goldfrapp Goldfrapp - A&E (Official HD Video)

Allison Goldfrapp is rightly known for campy disco hits. I’ve not chosen one of those. A&E is a weird choice for a single after Strict Machine etc. but it’s a beautiful tune and it’s great

YouTube video by DaughterVEVO Daughter - Youth

Multi-national shoegaze next up with Daughter. If Dawson’s Creek was around today, their music would be all over the soundtrack. Angsty without being OTT. Elena Tonra solo album, Ex:Re is one of the most bitter albums ever released.

Everything Everything have been described as “a riot in a melody factory” and are influenced by everything except 12 bar blues. Which is different for guys with guitars from Manchester. No. 67

YouTube video by Monica Heldal Monica Heldal - Boy From The North [Official Video]

Back to Norway for our next entry. Think of Emylou Harris if Gram Parsons had turned her on to country and prog. That’s pretty mouth the output of Monica Heldal. She should be massive. This was written when she was a teenager

I've been unemployed for a few months. I now set myself pretend jobs to prevent the rot setting in. My son thinks this guy is funny, which is a good enough excuse to make something. Any requests?

Looks like I missed number 80. Oops! Anyway, It’s the first, but no last entry for Cate Le Bon. Not someone you see on the St. David’s Day at the BBC compilations but as Welsh as Tom Jones. Especially as she lives in LA.
