Old Shakey’s version of the Bert Jansch classic. Don’t know who’s the worse whistler, Neil or me.

Just discovered this alternative studio version of the weepie from Grievous Angel, recorded in 1973.

Classic cut from 1993’s Come On Feel The Lemonheads. https://am-records.com/2019/04/15/lemonheads-you-win/

Following yesterday’s Bobby Wyatt post, I remembered that this little belter from the 2000 album Daisies of the Galaxy also has a turd in it.

Offhand, the only song I can think of that contains the word ‘turds’. From the album Shleep, released in 1997 (Blimey, is it 22 years already?)

In the words of Neil from The Young Ones: Heav-eee! Good stuff from the Krautrock pioneers’ 1970 album Yeti.

From the brilliant 1998 album The Prosthetic Cubans, which I bought because Ry Cooder said it was one of his favourites.

A song that always reminds me what a privilege it is to be living and working in London no longer. From the 1978 album All Mod Cons.

The wonderful Pixies, where Beefheart meets Black Sabbath meets the Beach Boys. From the 1990 album Bossanova.

Recorded in 1972 for Exile on Main Street but not released until 2010 as a bonus track for the album’s deluxe rerelease. Great to hear Keef in his heyday.
