Wimbeldon has a lot of damp matches, another excuse to request my favourite band of this summer.Beautiful, like a Mccartney melody at the top of his game, backed by The Penguin Cafe Orchestra.There is a great writer in this this band - watch this space.Fabby summer music.A Penne Arrabiatta moment.
Tickets To Waterfalls - jack bruce
Official confirmation from Pacific Quay that Billy MacKenzie is our small nation's greatest ever singer was an interesting proposition. It occured to me: there's a latent jack bruce fan just trying to come out of our hero.Forget the banana loaves, henri - Songs For a Tailor and Harmony Row from now on.Traditionally, Tickets To Waterfalls is what Wimbledon is all about.
here's a few others:
Right Down the Line - Gerry Rafferty
We Walk The Line - Everything But The Girl
All Down the Line - the rolling Stones
Turn Up The Radio - Autograph
Strawberry Fields Forever - the beatles
Everytime It Rains - randy newman
let's make a match of it:
Sunshine of Your Love - Cream vs The Hoxtons
Up The ladder To the Roof - the Supremes an absolute gem, no Diana.
I'm Still Standing - Vitamin String Quartet
You can just hear this on a sunny day, with folk playing tennis in the background.
Superb. Something else that's superb is Lovers Competition - James Carr
and of course Andy's Chest - Lou Reed
I commend these shouts to the blogotariat and our heroic production team.
Good show tonight - that Chaz Jankel track was awesome - since been on Spotify to listen to his new album 'The Submarine has Surfaced' - excellent, about to one click on that and a compilation album - soul boys like Paulo would enjoy it..
regardez youse

Lets hear it for Joni Mitchell's languid jazzy "Hissing Of Summer Lawns"Cheers Willie Bartke
