Currently listening to the Killers (who I've actually seen live a few times, but just got round to buying an album) after buying it up town this afternoon along with Manu Chau (Clandestino) and 10cc (The Very Best Of) - the normal Kindness eclectic mix (oops, already used that phrase below)...

Caught "With Strings Attached" at the Usher Hall on Thursday:

A real eclectic mix - the Blazin Fiddles were a great backing to all the other songs, and on their own - really added a lot of energy. Eddie Reader was a nutter, but what a voice and chat - her and Justin Currie had a good chemistry. Justin was probably the best performer, but his music doesn't really do it for me (well expect for a great Nothing Ever Happens at the end). Colin McIntyre added a good chunk of Rock to the mix and the fiddles really did add to his music. Oh, and the brass band really worked out too...

Anyone catch 'Indie-Pendent Scotland' on Radio Scotland yesterday? It was the first of a two part programme tracing the roots of indie record labels in Scotland - Sensible, Fast, Zoom, Postcard, Creation etc - and the bands of that era. The first part featured interviews with people like Lennie Love, Bob Last, Bruce Findlay and Alan Horne and early records from bands such as the Rezillos, the Scars, the Skids, Josef K and Portobello's very own Valves.

Highly recommended. You can until next Tues.

"the power of orange knickers" by Tori Amos :shock:

Heard this a couple of times on Ian Anderson's late night show on Radio scotland last week and it really is a tremendous song. I have never liked her at all before - far too affected and pretentious for my liking but this song has something and now I just can't get it out of my head. Don't know what its about but its a lovely song. Damien Rice sings on it too and I didn't rate him much either - he always looked as if he could do with a good hose down.

PS As I was typing this I had to ask ecm if "knickers had a "k" at the beginning. Nearly half a century on this planet and I don't believe i've ever had to write that word before - funny old world. I then proceeded to spell it "knockers".

Anybody know any good therapists?? :oops:

Ali you need help. :shock:

.......with your keyboard skills...but don't be too concerned there's only one space between knickers and knockers :lol:

This is the one that I have: (edit: you'll just have to ignore catz's interruption above)
Dirt cheap at todays exchange rates, too!

I suddenly feel rather moved by the fact that I must have waited 30 yrs to buy it...

I've just scrolled down the page I linked to above and realised that I might also be interested in buying a lice comb... Scary stuff this internet. (you'll have to ignore catz's interruption again, of course)

released in 1972! I heard it on Sounds of The Seventies when it first came out - can't remember if it was JP or Whispering Bob or possibly Annie Nightingale... But I deffo could NOT afford to buy it at the time!
