I was reading about Moondog, the viking of Sixth Avenue only yesterday. Interesting character. This song was covered by Janis Joplin but I prefer this cover by Anthony and the Johnsons...

A Northern Soul Classic which was a B side of a failed A side..... Many Northern Soul records were flops when they were first released in the US until they were rediscovered by British Northerm Soul DJs who brought them back to the UK from the US in the 70s and played them in the Northern Soul...

Thanks. Its not a genre of music I usually listen to but I'm always open to new suggestions. The first thing it brought to my mind, which I could personally relate to was Joy Division's Closer which is an album I really like. I delved a little deeper into M‡яc▲ll▲ to see what I could find out...

Kleenex : "Hedi's Head" Later changed their name to LiLiPUT after threatened legal action from the tissue company. Fortunately Jonathan Swift had been dead for over 200 years so the new choice of name didn't present a problem... https://youtu.be/vuYYe3T2IGk

Glen Hansard "Falling Slowly" This song featured in the film "Once" which also starred the Irish singer-songwriter Glen Hansard. I came across it again today after listening to Mahler's 5th symphony on Youtube. When Mahler finished the next random song/video which came up (for some reason)...

Following the Hungary Portugal game during the commercial break they showed an ad which featured this song which was unknown to me. A bit of googling led me to discover that it was recorded in 1969 by little known French artist called Bruno Leys and is called "Dans la Galaxie" It was...

Greg Allman and Jackson Browne: Melissa As an antidote to yesterday's result and my general state of mind this laid back track came up randomly on Youtube while I worked outside with the patio doors open with the sound drifting out. Perfect chill music... https://youtu.be/J0GiRGl2dIU

The Labyrinth Song : Asaf Avidan Watching Dark on Netflix (Season 3 ep 4) they played this. I thought it was a woman singing a Leonard Cohen song but looked it up to discover its a man singing his own original composition. Another new discovery for me... https://youtu.be/oiL9ItjmHRw

Just discovered this artist and track played during the closing scenes and end credits of episode 5 of BBC1's "The Serpant"... The late Karen Dalton "Something on Your Mind" https://youtu.be/CsYHN7eCCtU

They followed it (in the same party scene) with Carl Douglas's "Kung Fu Fighting". I've never enjoyed that song so much either watching them all doing the kung fu dance moves. The drama is set in 1980 at a house party so all the music is from that era and before, mainly 1970s MOBO, disco...

I've never been remotely bothered about this song or paid it much attention but just heard the intro played in a house party scene in BBC drama Lovers Rock (part of Small Axe season) and it struck me how infectiously good it is. Just the intro mind... Nile Rogers on guitar and the late Bernard...

I love some of the French artists. Really lyrical. Charles Aznavour is a great songwriter too. When I was a kid he was just that balding old bloke taking up valuable Top of the Pops time singing that dirge She. It took me over forty years to appreciate what a great song it is which led me to...

After I posted I discovered that Herbie Flowers played on the live performance of the album with Jarvis Cocker one of the guest vocalists. Love Serge. Total reprobate. Here's the live version featuring Cocker and Flowers https://youtu.be/VLwG3ZgjaDg
