sunday monday or always


sunday songs what better day to start a week of sunday songs than a wet wednesday... there'll be meanderings on a theme as we go but i'm not quite with it yet so let's just go how blinking wonderful were haircut 100? very obviously most especially here after a paul morley paul morleying classic nme feature where jumpers were far far more important than anything musical just as it should be...

bring on the trumpet brigade...

haircut 100 - i believe in sunday (live nyc 1983)

more liveness for good measure and shorts and adoration and the very bestest anti-rockist swimming lesson...

torment tuesday


it's been a lovely tuesday as it goes but we haven't had one of these for an age and i know really i should be using this song as a let's do days of the week push but it came on in the motor on the way to the local vegan workers co-op organic whatsit (i know i know but that's the northern powerhouse for you... falls over in hysterics) and if i don't play it now i'll forget ...

bob and his pals do torment rather well i hope you'll agree...

the wailers - sunday morning

one more time



in an horrific burst of morning sunshine through the mist optimism i thought perhaps we might have another little muck about with this old thing... you remember the drill? nice picture a line or two of unrelated piffle and a record... daft really it is but there you go...

this has been hum of the week and i know you know it right the way through and all the way back again but bloody hell i love the impressions...

the impressions - grow closer together

just in time



you know we love a waltz around here a jazz waltz as a rule a modal waltz a wishing these limbs had the grace and slink to turn two step shuffle floor sliding joy waltz but a beat waltz'll do nicely too... most especially a beat waltz with frankly audacious (shoo do do do doo doo) rhyming...

lazy gravy eighties oh well done chaps potatoes cheese graters eighties you are superstar rhymers indeed

direct hits - a place in the eighties
