(we've definitely had this before but i'm not looking it up if you're not)

lost indie corner

 

always a sucker for a country tinged heartbreaker a backing singer the singer singer should've let sing it song... 

another of those i've no idea where it came from another gift from the shakers and sharers... actually looked up the group and it's some family cat connection another lot who despite being around and about folks i knew i've never knowingly heard so oh told you before and you should know by now there'll be no yr heart out insight and learning and all here... 

it's a lovely song a grower and a very fine way to start lost indie corner

jack adaptor - everyone talked about us

oh tony

 

oh tony... fucking hell you were ace... (eloquent as ever but heck he was) ... two of the most wonderful shows i've ever been at... my only visit to the albert hall... the show at madame jojo's i mssed and still haunts me... the beautiful beautiful beautiful beautiful beautiful records... oh tony... that muppet show for gawd's sake... thankyou mr bennett x

tony bennett - maybe this time

oh mister bennett

 

(oh tony bennett... going to take a breath before we even think of really talking about tony because oh hell you know,,, what amazing joy he brought us...)

as ever thank heaven's for football (which today's whatsit was supposed to be about)...  i don't really care about the teams the leagues the all sorts expept when i do... but the radio noise distraction of choice is always football... on talksport today they were all what a brilliant trans ally neville southall is ... and in a isn't that ace way.... imagine that... well done hawksbee and jacobs (the best show on radio)

but the main thing is the joy of the match commentary how it takes me away from the grim foul horridness of news and events and rotters and most of the time when it's finished having absolutely no idea what went on at all...

which brings us to the greatest football song ever...  

gordon banks and friends - we'll be together

often at this time of day particularly on a cold wet windy day the shelter of davy h's soft seventies is a wonderful place to be ... it sounds quite like this...

laura allan- opening up to you
