I'd go to see him and the blossoms do a Smiths set.

He should join the Smithsin a chris cornell / RATM / audioslave style deal. guilt free smiths or something.

For fun - one of the biggest singles this year is Harry Styles 'As it Was', which is a pretty tune in all fairness and he is so dreamy.
Anywhoooo
Here's the tune

And while i don't have an example i find the melody has strong new romantic vibes.

Rick astley confirmed this by having his keys player drop the riff just after 2.20 at glastonbury

That's a straight rip alright, not that those cunts will ever be paying any money to the Orbison estate

BBC 6 is doing a whole thing about hip hop and particularly sampling today. It's 50 years old this month etc.
There's very few samples I wasn't already vaguely aware of, which I guess makes me cool, right?

I also observed that I haven't noticed any De La Soul being played, which seems odd.

I would never have guessed the guy who did the falsetto looked like this

my wife finds the riff from 'jump' slightly frustrating because she reckons there's an unresolved cadence in it; which i understand means she reckons there's a note missing. i've never noticed anything awry with it but i've a tin ear.

Picked up a weather report album recently. Start of second side was familiar to me, wrecked my head for a little while. Then realised portishead sampled the first few seconds for their song Strangers

Rhiannon Giddens has been based in Limerick for a while now. I can't help thinking that if she lived in England wall the UK tabloids would be going on about how Brit Rhiannon is one of their own

Come on Irish tabloids, step up!

I wonder if she's been resident for long enough that she's picked up citizenship so maybe she is one of us.

Similarly, Jude Bellingham of Real Madrid and England, possibly one of the world's 5 best soccer players this season, picked up an Irish passport for post Brexit convenience so that he wasn't counted as a "foreign (non EU)" player in Spain. We should be bandwagoning on to him.

She was married to an Irish guy and they had a kid together

the banjo was a Black instrument before it was a white one

Oh for goodness sake. Instruments have races now?

Oh for goodness sake. Instruments have races now?

It's just basically saying that it was more commonly associated with black musicians before more widely taken up by white one.

It's like saying that blues and rock n' roll guitar was a black people thing until the Pages/Becks/Claptons etc came along in the 60s.
