Elliott Smith – Miss Misery

If in doubt, post another Elliott Smith tune.

It Bites – Turn Me Loose

Vintage pop-prog from Cumbria’s finest!

Jellyfish – Jet / No Matter What

The keyboard solo always makes me smile!

Stunning video (and affected me way more than anything Bono said ever could). I prefer the Tears For Fears version of the soundtrack though.

As it says in the video, one of the “luxuries” that 18 have to do without is a tap with clean water.

Ainslie Henderson – Keep Me Your Secret

I saw this guy and his band supporting Marillion in Glasgow the other night and was incredibly impressed. He deservedly got a great response from the crowd – very unusual for a support act!

Check out more of his stuff here - I’ll certainly be dipping into my pocket to purchase his CD.

my finetune player!

I’ve just signed up for finetune. It looks like a great idea – bringing the mix tape into the 21st century – let’s see if it works!!!

I can’t seem to embed the player in this blog but you can listen to my playlist here

Steven Wilson – Sentimental (acoustic)

Neil Peart Drum Solo

Awesome. Just awesome.

Marillion – Out Of This World

falski — Tue, 24 Apr 2007 09:55:46 +0000

This is awesome stuff. Another track off Marillion’s “Afraid Of Sunlight”, mixed with footage of the subject matter – Donald Campbell’s world speed record attempts in the 1960s. Click here for a Wikipedia article about Campbell’s land and water speed record attempts – and also how Bill Smith was inspired to search for the remains of the Bluebird after hearing Marillion’s song. And click here to read Steve Hogarth’s account of the raising of the Bluebird.

The first clip is actual archive footage, and the second clip is from the BBC’s 1988 reconstruction of his final attempt in 1967.

(Whoops! This doesn’t play as an embedded version… I’ll try and sort that out later, but for now click here to view it)
