Wow, July and no blog writing for quite some time! Work and travelling with work has halted any serious music listening but I am still here and the latest issue of Mojo has sparked off a hankering to listen to the Fleet Foxes. CD should be delivered tomorrow and I hope to get some serious ear work going this week and report back on my findings later.

What's with the weather?

Was in Ireland working last week, this is how Port Stewart looked at 10.25pm.

Not picked by me I hasten to say but worthy all the same. My sis emailed urging me to listen to Clap Your Hands by The Herbaliser and Till The End by James Hunter. I have duly listened, loved and downloaded. Over to you for comments.

Locate him on YouTube and listen to The Quest. It will do good and go high. Has been labelled Amy Whitehouse in trousers. Single released June 9th.

Finally got round to watching Fever, the Peggy Lee Story on BBC4 last night. Blog friend Eggbod recently wrote that she watched it and enjoyed it even thoughshe didn't really know much about her. Well I am a fan and have been for years and the programme was excellent, not concentrating too much on her personal life as such but about her music and musical life.
It included fantastic footage of her tv and stage appearances. I always knew she was a stalla singer but had no idea that she wrote songs as well AND watching in that footage - she is SO sexy. She emmed to do very little but oozed sexuality in the arch of an eyebrow or a puckered lip. Class act!

Got Beth Rowleys CD at last, seems to have taken an age to get out so review coming shortly.

Saw this movie starring Danny Glover on the plane going over to San Fransisco. It's a bit ambitious in it's scale and slow in parts but every scene is a dream to look at and the music is sublime. It's about a small town bar which plays live blues music and how a stranger with a home made guitar changes things. I hope it has a soundtrack as I want the music.

Check it out if you need to chill.
