Here is one of those occasional Hooting Yard music playlists. All these pieces come recommended by the bloated janitor. He may be an unapologetic Blunkettite, but he knows his musical onions, apparently.
Two-Headed Boy, Neutral Milk Hotel
Manolete, Weather Report
Plastic Factory, Captain Beefheart & The Magic Band
The Old Man’s Back Again, Scott Walker
Misumo Bo Tamo She, King Bruce & Black Beats
O’er The Hills, Martin Carthy
Jackie And Edna, Kevin Coyne
Born Secular, Jenny Lewis & The Watson Twins
In Love, The Raincoats
I had forgotten what a jem Scott 4 really is…
and how much Bob & Paul owe Martin…
I did, of course, mean to say that Scott 4 was a gem…
I did not mean to infer that Scott 4 was akin to something posh folk might spread on their afternoon scones (or is it scones?)
I do like a bit of Scott. His lyrics are quite something.
If you like lyrics please check out the Silver Jews “sometimes a pony gets depressed”
“Happiness won’t leave me alone
says a bird in his nest
Get a load of this fuckin’ view
its the best in the west “
I think it is scones
