Love me some Creedence
'Willie & The Poor Boys' is one of my favourite LPs. Do you like The Grateful Dead?

You are a revelation sometimes, young lady.
Studio or live?
( Monty Boyce, My cheese game is strong, Wed 15 Sep 2010, 17:46, Reply)

live- sounds better
now I'm listening to Johnette Neapolitano though. More specifically Suicide Note. Which is not as dirgeful as it sounds

I have never heard of said ice cream vendor, in truth.

It's nothing especially special
but she has a wonderful voice. Check out Suicide Note or Before the Fall. I have the mp3 to Suicide Note if you want it

Changed videos, the spelling mistakes on the other one were too irritating- plus the lyrics were wrong

Eeeeeeeemmmmmmmmmooooooooooooooo!

it's quite good though
she's a bit old to be an emo. More a shoegazer
( Amberl was stripey and dominated Europe, Wed 15 Sep 2010, 18:54, Reply)

I've no room to talk.
I like Anthony and the Johnsons.

I only heard of Concrete Blonde last night
Via Nick Cave.

life is strange sometimes
you hear of one thing and then suddenly it is everywhere
( Amberl was stripey and dominated Europe, Wed 15 Sep 2010, 19:13, Reply)

finally!
I've been listening to Concrete Blonde for years and trying to persuade others of their excellence.

Snap
though I can't believe I only heard Suicide Note today.

After a quick google, I realise that not bothering to google bands for ages, means I miss facts such as they had a reunion tour in early summer :(

Concrete Blonde do a good cover of Everybody Knows
on the Pump Up The Volume soundtrack. I used to have a copy of Bloodletting somewhere too, probably on an old hard drive. Must dig it out.

you know, I never knew that was a cover
The best of, Recollections is worth having.
( Vipros. clever got me this far, then tricky got me in, Wed 15 Sep 2010, 21:14, Reply)

ridiculously hard to find on CD though
ebay not coming up trumps at all
( Amberl was stripey and dominated Europe, Wed 15 Sep 2010, 21:19, Reply)

I nicked my brother's copy :-)
I might be able to help you out with mp3s
( Vipros. clever got me this far, then tricky got me in, Wed 15 Sep 2010, 21:30, Reply)

that'd be good
torrents all appear dodgy on this one.

I'd buy it on CD if I could get it relatively reasonably
( Amberl was stripey and dominated Europe, Wed 15 Sep 2010, 21:34, Reply)

It's one of those covers that is so confident
it makes it harder for me to appreciate the original. Same with Jeff Buckley's cover of Hallelujah or the Hendrix cover of All Along The Watchtower.
(Zoz prayed for twink on, Wed 15 Sep 2010, 21:35, Reply)

I know what you mean
I love Concrete Blonde. Aside from my brother you folk are the only people I know who like them. Most haven't heard of them, and when I play them, turn their noses up.

She has just got a marvellous voice.
( Vipros. clever got me this far, then tricky got me in, Wed 15 Sep 2010, 21:40, Reply)

a fantastic voice
I'm still surprised by how few people have heard of them
( Amberl was stripey and dominated Europe, Wed 15 Sep 2010, 21:43, Reply)

It is extraordinary
I'm a bit embarrassed to admit this, and it may just have been the shitty stereo we used to play it* on, but for ages I couldn't decide whether she was dude or not.

*it being Everybody Knows
(Zoz prayed for twink on, Wed 15 Sep 2010, 21:51, Reply)

she has a deepish voice.
sounds as manly as Robert Plant I guess!
( Vipros. clever got me this far, then tricky got me in, Wed 15 Sep 2010, 21:52, Reply)

I've got a copy of the Willie & The Poor Boys album with an odd sleeve that's got japanese writing on it.
The opening of Down On The Corner just has an irrepressible basic rhythm.
John Fogerty has a terrfic voice.
(Cave Duck, Wed 15 Sep 2010, 17:43, Reply)

Big vote up for Fogerty
One of the local bands does a lap steel version of 110 In The Shade. I swear it starts to feel hotter when they start on that lazy slide intro ...

I want to take up lap steel - I fucking love the sound.
You good, Brian?
( Monty Boyce, My cheese game is strong, Wed 15 Sep 2010, 18:14, Reply)

Mighty fine thanks, Monty.
Even better considering I'm nearly done here, so I'm about to sling my hook and slope off into one of the nearby licenced premises with the aim of redistributing some wealth. Sort of ...

Run through the jungle is my fave Creedance song
stupendous.

Their version of Heard it through the grapevine is outrageously good too.
