GREATEST HITS - VOLUME 3

As you will see, this one is a CD so obviously you don't have to turn it over half way through:

Side One

Nellie McKay - The Dog Song

Goldfish - Fort Knox (ft. Sakhile Moleshe)

Morgen - Love

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=djY7D-9vqfg

Racey - Some Girls

The Notorious Cherry Bombs - It's Hard To Kiss The Lips At Night (That Chew Your Ass Out All Day Long)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pjkLf_X88WM

My pick from them would be Turning Japanese,Love,Some Girls and Why don't you do right.
But that would have to be by Peggy Lee

This is very sixties for me.Trying to chat up some bird with this blaring in the background.

Wow. At last someone is taking my album collection seriously. But in truth I used to post a wide range of things which I really rated whereas now I do collections of comedy and serious and generally leave the reader to decide which is which, The most serious record here was, of course, the one by Daphne Oram who along with Derbyshire, Radigue and Pade was part of the extraordinary and unusual movement of ground breaking women of electronica (and, like (Delia) Derbyshire, she was British too). I agree on the Peggy Lee but Sinead O'Connor also does a very good version of Why Don't You Do Right on an album of covers, some of which are awful and some like that one great - but ain't that just Sinead for you.

I wonder what would happen if they released this nowadays or Nice legs - shame about the face.

I always thought that if 'Girls just wanna have fun' was by a man, he'd be flayed alive. You sexist f**ker.

Hendrix, while I was ironing shirts - his guitar on Voodoo Chile blows my mind every time I hear it. Only the good die young...........

And if I don't meet you no more in this world
Then I'll, I'll meet you in the next one
And don't be late, don't be late

Man............. Cool

Love the Ronettes' look - inspiring Amy Winehouse years later.

You iron your shirts??????????????????

It's the only thing I iron (which I enjoy by the way - very therapeutic) as you cannot beat a nicely ironed shirt when you put it on.

It didn't suit her though.Although the tattooed druggie look didn't help.
She was pretty in the early days.

I hadn't seen/heard that before. It's a lesson to 10,000 wannabe vocal gymnasts. There is nothing wrong with gymnastics per se but they only work with an instinctive feeling for jazz phrasing otherwise it sounds crap. Here the jazz phrasing is obvious. Not perfect but very good indeed with a confidence based in raw talent to push experimentation to its limits.
