It is. A decent effort, most certainly.
Great song! But, the 'Exposure' version for me every time 😉

1: ROBERT CALVERT - EJECTION
youtu.be/lNHPK6XHnq0
The walls of The Greyfriar pub in Reading are adorned with hundreds of hand pump badges.
I've just spent far too long looking for punning (or otherwise) music based ones...
Currently on the 516 to the Old Dungeon Ghyll, Langdale as the first stage of a bus based pub crawl 😄
(No heatwave up here though, it's currently raining... )

30> NANCI GRIFFITH - ONCE IN A VERY BLUE MOON
Not really my kind of my music, but this album was a bargain bin purchase years ago. I think it was the purity of her voice that was the attraction. Shocked to read she is no longer with us.

I find it difficult to imagine, if I'm honest! Kind of like an unlearned Pavlovian response I guess.

29> ROY HARPER - McGOOHAN'S BLUES
Roy has the blues: Highway, Male Chauvinist Pig, & Kangaroo spring (ahem) to mind.
This is 18 mins "inspired by actor Patrick McGoohan's depiction of the establishment rebel in his TV series, The Prisoner".

28> PORCUPINE TREE - SYNESTHESIA
Synethesia occurs where "1 sensory or cognitive pathway leads to involuntary experiences in a 2nd...
People with synesthesia may experience colors when listening to music".
It's tenuous, but I have no shame 😉

27> HALF MAN HALF BISCUIT - BLUE BADGE ABUSER
How can I be on Day 27 & not have had a HMHB pick? Inconceivable.
PS> I walked past that pub about an hour ago.

26> MARILLION - WHITE RUSSIAN
Didn't really take to 'Clutching At Straws' when it came out. My opinion has mellowed over the years - there are some great songs on it, for sure, this being one.

After this last week of camping back in the lovely Lake District I've come to the conclusion my #1 camping accessory is: earplugs.
Repetition, even.

25> THE PINK DIAMOND REVUE - FUZZ GUITAR
This lot are local to me, playing fairly intimate venues as a duo - guitars, drums, & "tapes".
They love repition, psychedelia, amped up '50s/'60s guitar riffs, big beats & fat synth sounds.

23> NOUVELLE VAGUE - BLUE MONDAY
Catching up.
I'm camping again. No signal, so any posts for the next week will come via the pub wi-fi. That's my level of commitment to #ColorTheMusic 🫡
It's a New Order cover, obvs.

Some bands peak with their titles, & the song itself is a disappointment. Not so HMHB.
They were due to play my Uni Freshers' Ball in 1986, but cancelled at the last minute, allegedly as there was no light'n'bitter (or was it mild?!) on the rider 😂
Finally saw them live about 5 years ago 😄
My advice: Don't talk to Lord Darnell's wife. It'll end badly.
I too am off on holiday. At least you won't be engaging with the British rail system.
Enjoy!

22> DARK STAR - BLUE MURDER
I'm a fan of many of Christian 'Bic' Hayes' outfits (Cardiacs, Levitation, Mikrokosmos, ZOFFF).
Dark Star rose from the ashes of Levitation, but for me they're leaner & sonically more interesting.

The 1st time I saw (pretty uncool) #NeoProg band #Galahad was at their 10th anniversary show. The 2nd was tonight, at their 40th anniversary show.
They are a much better prospect 30 years on if I'm honest.
They've ploughed their own furrow, & for that I salute them.

Ultramarine are a Canterbury loving folktronica pairing who've recorded with Kevin Ayers & others from that scene.
