So in my 3.245*10^8 day of work in a row the network crashes - well at least part of it. So I thougth I'd spray about two groovy discs:

 

1) Soft Machine 1967-71 Live BBC Radio

2) Nellie McKay Get Away From Me

 

Both are pretty darn groovy.

I would like to promote a disc also.

 

Dungen - Ta Det Lugnt

 

It's Swedish. It's good.

73 seconds of Saturnian spookiness

spray about... (a) ...groovy disc:

Dat wut. I enjoy a couple of Soft Machine albums on vinyl from that period.

McKay could be her generation's Randy Newman. Only maybe a bit more funny and way better looking.

thanks for the link nonanon. full-length cuts, not just snippets...nice. But I think she's more along the lines of Madeline Peyroux and only 19! wow!

Don't see that.

 

I wonder how much of her first album is really her work. If a good portion of it is, she has a lot of talent. She has to decide if she wants to be a jokster or a real talent. Time will tell. Next year she will be performing on (off?) broadway in a musical. Eh a bad sign......

[nonanon]

Right. Peyroux is more like a Leanne Rimes or Joss Stone, in that they're all "channeling" other singers. McKay, otoh, can write songs! The other thing about her that reminds me of Newman is that, imo, most of her material sounds better live than on the record.

One of the former members of Soft Machine, Karl Jenkins, wrote the famous 'Diamonds' jingle for deBeers.

i like my ipod.

OK the network just crashed again

 

So I thought I'd spray about one of the greatest albums ever: The Modern Dance Pere Ubu

 

I even think these lads played in P Square the year after this came out.
