Wanda Jackson-Funnel Of Love

Carl Perkins-Daddy Sang Bass


I'm in a rockabilly mood today and I rock a quiff frequently so it makes sense to post some tracks in this vain. Wanda Jackson dubbed the 'first lady of rockabilly' is still making music and is now apparently 'a grand lady of country'. This classic is from 1962 and as with yesterdays post it's all about Wanda's great distinctive voice. Visit Wanda's site. Carl Perkins was undoubtably overshadowed by a certain king, he recorded the original 'Blue Suede Shoes' but it was Elvis that had the bigger hit with it and he never quite got the fame that might have been coming to him. Daddy Sang Bass is pretty honky-tonk and it charms my socks off with its fresh faced jolliness even though it's essentially about death. I'm pretty much able to ignore the religious side. It may just be me but I reckon that it could be sampled and used to lethal effect in a hip-hop song.



Tindersticks-Traveling Light

This is by far my favourite Tindersticks song it's taken from their 1995 album Tindersticks second album and if you don't know this band and their quiet menace you should pick this album or the anthology Donkeys 1992-1997. I'd love to get hold of some of their early limited 7" if anyone's got some they're looking to get rid of, they were packaged in the simple beauty of a brown paper bag.

Still Runnin...


Crayola crayon colour cd project

Basically the idea is that I send a CDRW to someone it will have one song and a custom cover with a drawing in my favourite crayola crayon colour. The person it is sent to then adds a track to the CD and their own drawing on the cover in their favourite Crayola crayon colour and sends it on the next person on the list and so on, eventually the CD and complete cover comes back to me, I then send everyone who took part a copy of the CD and complete cover art. So you need to have a CD writer and the will to take part in a nice little snail mail project Here is a collection of the colours of the crayons to give you an idea. If anyone fancys it leave a comment or drop me a line at zzz.www at gmail.com. Inspiration taken from the projects that go on at Nervousness.
