Look at this little love, absolutely being a dog.
You're so welcome! Stuff like this brings me so much pleasure: it's lovely if other people enjoy it also.
Totally! It's just impossibly perfect
This is another of those songs where, while it's playing, I can't think of anything better than it.
If you do nothing else today, listen to this slice of screwy c.1961 genius and feel joy returning. What a vocal! Yochanan claimed to have been born on the sun, and I believe him.

Darlings. I've loved them forever and took them for granted for way too long. What was I thinking?!
Happy St @bandcamp.com’s day! Please buy something if you feel like it, I’ll send one that I didn’t just prop up in the undergrowth. dimorphodons.bandcamp.com/album/waui
Western Union - The Five Americans
I love wrens: the disparity between the size of them and the sheer volume of them delights me. They're Mesa Boogies in a world of Marshall stacks*
*Apologies for such a dreadful simile
RIP, the great Roy Phillips. I posted this clip on FB yesterday and it's cued yet another period of obsessing about The Peddlers, who fitted nowhere yet everywhere. What a voice. What superb Hammond playing. What everything.

Such a brilliant piece. 'Genial virtuosity' nails The Peddlers so perfectly.
I just opened the door to get rid of this fly and another one flew in instead. It's like I'm some kind of lord of something-or-other
Every time I think I've stopped laughing at this, I'm wrong
I'm so myopic that I initially read this as £12,000, and still thought 'worth it'
Something something 'John Bunham'
Ooft! Roads Girdle The Globe. My Bird Performs. 1,000 Umbrellas. I Remember The Sun. Ladybird. Just for starters.
Finally! An excuse to post a link to Real Crazy Apartment by Winston's Fumbs.

So great! Apologies if you've already seen/heard this, but they also did a terrific version of Do The Standing Still.

Hard agree
Total gods. Have You Seen Her crumbles me into ecstatic dust.
I'd so buy it
He really was, and so underrated.
I was thinking about this terrific live-in-the-studio clip earlier on, and how I'd never even noticed that there's no bass in Whiskey In The Jar before I first saw this about six years ago. It's never too late to have your ears syringed.

Mick Tucker's fill after the first chorus is among the greatest, neatest, most apposite and most swaggering drum fill in the history of everything. I want to applaud every time I hear it.
Kentucky Avenue by Tom Waits: gruff tenderness always does me in.
My mum bought me a pair of Wrangler jeans when I was a teenager in the 70s, and they were punitive. They stank before you even put them on, the denim was so coarse that they had the structural integrity of breeze blocks, and the blue dye came straight off onto your legs.
Holy hell. So it's half a century since the 13-year-old me edged apologetically into the original Virgin store in Glasgow and bought this. The kindly hippy behind the counter threw a handful of Kevin Coyne beermats into the record bag, so it's his fault that I turned to drink
