No Baixo Do Sepateiro - Meirelles


Like your Brazilian music a little funky? Or your funk a little Brazilian? Relax, this track's got you covered. You can find it on aptly named Brazilian Funk Experience, picked up on eBay a week or two ago for a couple of quid, postage included. Madness.

Dream Kitchen - Frazier Chorus


Heard a great track on Steve Lamacq's 6 Music show on Monday and, by a spooky coincidence, it's on one of the many CDs I picked up from a recent record and CD fair. The band's Frazier Chorus, who had some moderate success back in the late 80s, and I can heartily recommend the album in question, Sue.

Iceblink Luck - Cocteau Twins


Spent a very pleasurable time in the bath with the Cocteau Twins last night. How can this track be almost 35 years old?

30 Days In The Hole - Humble Pie


Another pick from last Saturday's CD haul, Humble Pie's '72 album Smokin' and this track which apparently reached the dizzy heights of number 6 in the US charts. If you want to read a depressing tale of how the music biz can really shaft people have a read through lead Pie and ex Small Faces belter Steve Marriot's Wiki page. Ouch.

My Babe (Live from Chicago 1964) - The Ramsey Lewis Trio


Picked up another silly number of CDs over the weekend (I can resist pretty much anything...apart from temptation) including a Ramsey Lewis Trio Greatest Hits that I'm fairly sure I already have but there's no harm in having a back up eh? Especially when it's stuffed fill of groooooooooooooooooooooooooovey stuff like this.

Motorhead - Eat The Rich


Sad to hear of the passing of one of the Hairy Bikers, Dave Myers, yesterday. By all accounts he was as lovely in real life as he was on screen. He was a Motorhead fan too...good man...so I reckon this is as fitting a tribute as any.

Full Time Plagiarist - Thee Headcoats


Finally got round to listening to one of my Christmas present CDs from Mrs Baron yesterday, Thee Headcoats most recent album Irregularis (The Great Hiatus), and it's everything you'd want from a Billy Childish release, witty lyrics and a raw garage rock sound played with all the energy of a man half...or possibly even a quarter...his age. Remarkably Billy turns 65 this December. This is how you do it kids.
