Five Names that I can Hardly Stand to Hear

That's got to be one of the best opening lines to a song:

"Five names that I can hardly stand to hear
Including yours and mine, and one more chimp who isn't here"

... you almost forget about the rhyming of 'hear' with 'here', it's so good.

A bit of a sweaty humid morning for another shuffle all mix:

The Best Way to Travel - Moody Blues,
Bad Sneakers - Steely Dan,
Monastery of La Rabida - Vangelis,
Them Heavy People (live) - Kate Bush,
Roadhouse Blues - Doors,
Experiences No. 1 - Jan Steele/John Cage,
Soldier of the Heart - Judee Sill,
Monkey Talk - Stevie Wonder,
Continuum - Jaco Pastorius,
You Set the Scene - Love,
Our House - Madness. I'm not a fan (it's my other half's), but stuck with it,
FraKctured - King Crimson. Fabulous,
Games Without Frontiers - Peter Gabriel.

There was an interesting interview with Nick Drake's sister, Gabrielle, regarding the release of the 'Family Tree', on Simon Mayo's Radio 2 show. The basic argument of churning more demoes out was that all the demoes out there were a) of dubious legality and b) of poor quality, being 2nd or 3rd generation copies. OK, so far as it goes, but I can't help hearing the bottom of the barrel being scraped to within a millimetre of the outer veneer (if barrels have such things) to make way for yet more stuff in a couple of years' time. I'll still buy it though.
