how cute that Amerkins still believe top tracks only come from there

Thanks, Mike. I have always loved these songs. Oh, we were so much younger then ....

He was quite something on the keys that Ian McLagan. Here's a Guardian obituary. And here's but a small sample of his pedigree, right from the intro in this version of my Small Faces' fave, Tin Soldier:

Matthew Heine playing with a reconstituted Sold Gold Hell at a party tonight at Lucha Lounge.

My son liked them and I put it to him that was because they sounded more like Black Sabbath than any other band on the bill. He agreed.

Talking of party things, any report on Lawrence Arabia’s Hits of the 60’s last weekend? He’s doing 70’s Hits tomorrow I gather. I can imagine Eno’s Needle in the Camel’s Eye will feature which he did at the Wunderbar last month.

The cover he did with the band (on the…

I was there last week and can report that a great time was had. The Zombies were my highlight – cool wiggy keys – but they also banged out Turtles Happy Together, Floyd's Arnold Lane, Flying Burrito Bros, Beatles and stuff and things.
it was jammed inside, so get there…

Nick Cave tickets

I managed to squeeze myself in to the Sunday show.

I'm still enjoying the latest album, and looking forward to seeing this live.

Push The Sky Away.

You lucky, lucky bastard! I too missed out on Nick Cave tickets, despite begging and pleading.

But I do have tickets to Conor Oberst at the Powerstation next March--which will be a father and daughter outing as he is my daughter's favourite musician, and he is supported by The Felice…

Also: here's something from my fave new band, Years & Years. They were nominated for the Critics' Choice Award at the 2015 BRIT Awards (the winner of which was announced yesterday, for some reason). Their sound is like electronica, '90s R&B, and pop, which is just fine by me. This is their…

Remember about 10 years ago when novelty mashups were a thing? Well, they still exist. Every year a laptop owner called DJ Earworm makes a mashup of the year's top tracks. This is his one for 2014:
