Keep hearing this on the radio, I was a bit shocked to see the video and find the guy was a 21 year old white guy. Reached the sunny heights of No 68 in the UK charts last month.........bloody criminal!<br />

Been a while since I posted, so I thought I'd throw in one of my favourite 70's classics.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
"Stay with Me" was written by Rod Stewart and Ronnie Wood and was first released </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
on the Faces in 1971 on their album A Nod Is As Good As A Wink... To A Blind Horse</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It reached No 6 in the UK and No17 in the USA</div>

I heard this track for the first time the other day, listening to Huey Morgan on his Radio 2 show. Not sure when this was released as I'm finding it a little hard tracking down anything about Mr Garza. Its kind of a cross between Doo -Wop and James Brown Soul??? If that makes any sense???<br />
Well I like it anyway!<br />

I was driving to work the other day listening to the radio when a song came on, which annoyed the hell out of me, Florida Georgia Line feat Nelly - Cruise. What an absolute pile of sh!t. And then the DJ announced that its been No1 on the US Country Charts for 24 weeks. Why? This is not Country Music, its Pop!!!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
So I thought I'd treat you all to a proper bit of Country from David Allan Coe's 1975 4th Album "Once upon a Rhyme.</div>

<br />I Always Knew was released in the UK in November last year, it was the third single from The Vaccines second studio album, "Come of Age". As with most of the modern music I seem to like it got nowhere in the UK charts, reaching the staggering climbs of No 169!!!!<div>
This track reminds me of the 60's band "The Tornadoes", that twangy Joe Meek sound is just brilliant!<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Today's post is a tribute to the Doors keyboard maestro Ray Manzarek, who died earlier this week. Touch Me was realised late in 1968 and reached the No 3 spot in the US charts early in '69. For some reason it failed to chart here in the UK??<br />
This is one of my top 5 Doors tracks, honestly I could have picked any track.<br />
<br />
RIP Ray<br />

"Little Black Submarines" is a song by American rock band The Black Keys. It is the fourth track from their 2011 studio album El Camino and was released as the album's fourth single on October 8, 2012. The song begins as a quiet acoustic ballad before transitioning to a loud, hard rock arrangement in the second half. Critics praised the song and called it one of the highlights from El Camino. The song was a success on rock radio, reaching number two on the Alternative chart in the US and the Alternative Rock and Active Rock charts in Canada. The group filmed a music video with director Danny Clinch at the Springwater Supper Club and Lounge, a dive bar in Nashville, Tennessee. "Little Black Submarines" was certified gold in Canada.<br />
<div>
Unfortunately it didn't even make a dent in the UK charts, what's the world coming to??</div>

I heard this track for the first time last week, on an advert for Sky Atlantic, I thought it was The Black Keys?? How wrong was I?</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
El Khatib is of
Palestinian and Filipino descent. He grew up in San Francisco, where he became
an avid skateboarder. He performed music on the side while working as creative
director at the skateboard fashion label HUF</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
In 2010 he released two singles on Innovative Leisure, a
subsidiary of Stones Throw Records. His debut album, Will the Guns Come Out,
was released on September 27, 2011. The album features eight original songs and
three covers. His second album will be produced by Dan Auerbach of The Black
Keys.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
He describes his songs as being for anyone who has ever been
shot or hit by a train. His musical style includes elements of garage rock and
blues.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
During his live performances, El Khatib is accompanied by
drummer Nicky Fleming-Yaryan, a friend from high school, and guitarist /
keyboardist Hayden Tobin. They performed at the South by Southwest festival in
March 2011, and at Bonnaroo in June 2011. They have opened for Florence and the
Machine.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
His music has been used in television commercials for
Captain Morgan, Nike and Nissan, as well as the HBO series Hung, the Showtime
series Californication and the feature film, For a Good Time, Call.... and most
recently, for the 2013 Superbowl ad for Audi with his song,
"Can’t Win ‘Em All". </div>

He goes on to say "It's the guy who thinks he's great, the jock. Imagine a real reclusive guy who's a bit bitter about this guy who thinks he's great.

This songs been driving me mad for a couple of weeks, I kept hearing it on the radio but could never find out who sang it. Finally found out earlier in the week after speaking to my daughter!!<br />
As far as I know this is their follow up single to "The John Wayne"<br />
<br />
From<a href="http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p010q6bc/profiles/littlegreencars"> http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p010q6bc/profiles/littlegreencars</a><br />
<br />
"Having wooed stateside crowds with a series of shows through 2012, Dublin five-piece Little Green Cars are ready to charm domestic audiences with their forthcoming debut album, Absolute Zero.<br /><br />The five-piece - fronted by the duo of Stevie Appleby and Faye O'Rourke - have a fine foundation to build from in the shape of their single The John Wayne. Its dusty percussion and vocal harmonies place it somewhere beside Mumford & Sons and The Maccabees; and, certainly, Little Green Cars possess the potential to emulate these acts' achievements.<br /><br />Absolute Zero has something of a hit-maker at its helm, too - producer Markus Dravs has previously worked on releases by Arcade Fire, Björk and Coldplay. With the band forming five years ago, some might deem the debut a long time coming; but on the evidence of what's been heard so far, it's clear that a great thing is coming to those who've waited."<div>

"Babies" was originally released as a single on the Gift record label in 1992, but it failed to chart. A remixed version featured on the album His 'n' Hers and the original single mix on the album Intro. In 1994 "Babies" was re-released on the Sisters EP and reached No 19 in the UK chart.<div>

Recently the winners of the BBC Sound of 2013, Haim were formed in 2006 by sisters Este, Danielle and Alans Haim. They'e been compared with 70s soft-rock legends Fleetwood Mac, however, they like to insist that their influences are a bit more up-to-date, revealing they are big fans of 90s girl groups TLC and Destiny’s Child, but also claim to be fans of Kendrick Lamar, Jessie Ware and Azealia Banks. Consequently their music sounds a bit like girly folk-rock with a few R&B/hip-hop stylings thrown in for good measure.<br />
So far its reached UK No 32, I don't think it'll get any higher when the chart is full of crap pop and even worse R+B dance dross!<br />
Personally I think they've a very quirky 80's sound, but hey that's me!<br />

Firstly I'd like to wish you all a Happy and Prosperous New Year and thanks for following and commenting on my weird and complex taste in music!!</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
Of Monsters and Men are a five-piece indie folk/indie pop
band from Iceland, formed in 2010. The members are co-singer/guitarist Nanna
Bryndís Hilmarsdóttir, co-singer/guitarist Ragnar "Raggi"
Þórhallsson, guitarist Brynjar Leifsson, drummer Arnar Rósenkranz
Hilmarsson,and bassist Kristján Páll Kristjánsson. Try saying them names after
a few beers!<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
The band won the
Músíktilraunir in 2010, an annual battle of the bands competition in Iceland.
In 2011, Of Monsters and Men released an EP entitled Into the Woods. The band's
debut album My Head Is an Animal (2011), peaked at No. 6 on the US album chart
and No 3 here in the UK. Its lead single "Little Talks" was an
international success, reaching No 12 in the UK and No 31 in the US, but it did
make it the No1 spot the US Alternative Songs Chart and in their homeland.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
Unfortunately the follow up “Mountain Song only reached UK
No 66 and US 106!! I think it’s the better of the two to be honest, but hey
that’s me!<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
I couldn’t find an official video for the song, but I’ve
included a live version as well, which is just as good if not better than the
studio version.<o:p></o:p></div>

One of my favorite's of the year, Jake Bugg's Lightning Bolt has just been re-released, I hope this time around the song gets higher than the UK no 88 that it reached earlier in the year.<br />
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Bugg was born in
Nottingham England he was chosen by the
BBC to appear on their "Introducing" stage at the 2011 Glastonbury
Festival aged 17, and because of this was given a contract by Mercury Records. His songs were then placed on various BBC
Radio play lists and one of them, "Country Song", was selected for
use in a national TV beer commercial for Greene King IPA. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
In August 2012 Bugg was a supporting act for Noel
Gallagher's High Flying Birds at Belsonic Music Festival, Belfast. On 22 May
2012, Bugg appeared on the BBC music programme Later... with Jools Holland. On
1 October 2012, he performed live on the BBC Radio 6 Music programme Live at
Maida Vale. Bugg's debut album was released on 15 October 2012. Talking about
Bugg and his debut Clash magazine hailed the "precocious talent fusing
retro folk with blistering contemporary rock riffs".</div>

The Strokes are an American indie rock band. Formed in New
York City in 1999, the band consists of Julian Casablancas (vocals), Nick
Valensi (lead guitar), Albert Hammond Jr. (rhythm guitar), Nikolai Fraiture
(bass) and Fabrizio Moretti (drums)<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
“Machu Picchu” by The Strokes is the first track from their fourth studio
album, Angles, released on March 18,
2011 in Australia; March 21, 2011 in the UK; and March 22, 2011 worldwide. It’s
their first album since First Impressions of Earth in 2006.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
Although the song received loads of airplay here in the UK,
it seems it was only released as a single in France, where it reached the sunny
climbs of No 87 in the charts…….bloody criminal!<o:p></o:p></div>

Yesterday would have been Eddie Cochran's 74th birthday, so I thought I'd post one of my favorite instrumental's by the man himself. It's always been a favourite of mine and in my opinion is better than the original version of Guybo. The drum sound is excellent!<br />
<br />
Drum City was an overdubed version of "Guybo", which was recorded on 25th August 1959.<br />
Guybo aka Drum City was released in the U.S under the name of Cochran's band, The Kelly Four, who were Connie 'Guybo' Smith on bass, Dave Shriver on bass, Gene Riggio on drums and Jim Stivers on piano.<br />

Today is Buddy Holly's birthday, so here's a Holly track, a cover of a Little Richard hit "Ready Teddy", it was recorded in January 1958 with the Crickets Jerry Allison and Joe B Mauldin along with Norman and Vi Petty.</div>

City with No Children was the 4th single to be released from the Arcade Fire album The Suburbs. It failed to chart almost everywhere, except in Belgium where it reached No 24.<br />
It remind's me of another song but I just can't remember what???<br />

<br /><br />Back to the 80's for today's post. Back in the mid 80's my favourite band was INXS, I went to see them in concert around 9 times, until that fateful day back in 1997. As an avid record collector, yes record not CD, I bought everything the band released, including this one by Max Q, featuring Mr Hutchence himself on vocals.<div>
Sometimes reached the dizzying heights of No 53 in the UK but a higher No 31 in Australia.<br /><br />The following came from <a href="http://michaelhutchenceinfo.com/">michaelhutchenceinfo.com</a><div>
<br />1989 would prove itself a very different year for Michael Hutchence, musically. He unzipped his rock star costume and went off and broadened his musical abilities to gain some credibility for himself. For a start he cut his hair. It came as a shock to many, used to seeing Hutchence use his hair like a cowboy throws a lasso, falling across his eyes, flipping back, drawing people of both sexes.<br /><br />"I felt like it, so I did it," he says. "I just got the old Swiss Army knife out. It's symbolic. I was getting sick of all these guys with permed, long hair. I didn't want to be associated with it, so I guess it was my statement towards that crap. If at the very least I got rid of some unwanted followers, those that were there for my hair. I had to grow up. It was the end of something in a way - the end of the INXS tour."<br /><br />Hutchence's haircut took place in a studio while he was making a record - not with INXS though, but with the experimental band Max Q . After more than a year touring the world in 1987-88, INXS were tired. They had been recording and performing over ten years, so they decided to cease being INXS for twelve months.<br /></div>
