Holy shit, I had no idea The Bats are still making music.
In my mind, they've always been an '80s band.
They still sound good too.
Better than ever even.
The vaguely Celtish sounding tunes earlier reminded me of this one which is a staple of Celtic fest held in Jackson, Mississippi each year. Usually it's sung in the evening after a day of drinking and with much audience participation and accompanied by fiddle but this was as close as I could find to that.

I've played this several times this week online, although I still have the LP. There are several YouTube videos but I chose this one as it includes Jack Nicholson on pillion. Allegedly the first heavy metal song, due to the lyric "heavy metal thunder".

Sometime in the early nineties I danced with my daughter to this at the fourth of July celebration in Ballard park, Tupelo, about four feet from Steppenwolf. They were under a small open on three sides tent just wailing away. No security. Nothing. There was a small crowd in front of them but most folks weren't even paying attention to them. It was kind of surreal.

Today I'm appreciating that time Thom Yorke was fiddling with a modular while he was fiddling on a piano, and he's one of the few mainstream (if he can be called mainstream) artists that have embraced the chaotic, random, generative side of modular synths to really capture an emotion in the moment, cf. how they contributed to the dreamy disorienting feeling of imbalance in Daydreaming.

I liked
The Bats – "Another Door". Is that New Zealand in the video? I always fancied moving there. Too late now.
:( The Scotsman reminded me of (
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4yw0bLHTOb0) “
Donald Where’s Your Troosers?”. I was going to post something else but after seeing that, change of plan. Visiting the Hebrides years ago we never got to the Isle of Lewis but there’s a lady from Point who always makes me cry, the late IseaBail NicAsgail (Ishbel MacAskill). It’s in Scottish Gaelic. My hearing isn’t quite so good these days and I don’t hear the ladies in the chorus so clearly but I know they’re there. :D

A song by French-Canadian Kate McGarrigle who died in 2010, performed in 2012 by her children and her sister. She’d sung it with all three many times and wrote it before the children were born. Neither child, especially Martha, could normally be described as restrained while singing but she and her brother are anchored, and Martha folds her arms as though to control emotion. Stops me in my tracks.

I dug up a guilty pleasure from like a single week in 2007. Love the groove, but I'm concerned about the air quality if it's making their rain silver.

I always need reminding how good Wipers are. I don't really listen to much rock anymore.

[LEFT] Thank you for Marcus Miller. I’d never heard of him but I played several videos, interviews, and his very (
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G7GUieBYGgQ) insightful analysis of “
Kind of Blue” (Miles Davis/Coltrane/Cannonball Adderley). In the past I occasionally listened to Humphrey Lyttelton talk about these people but this is the first time I understood. Excellent. When you're about to follow another musician's brilliant improvisations and he's done it all. There's nothing left ...

I first saw this lady some years back. She was mesmeric and dominated the room with chanteuse versions of Dylan songs emphasising different words so you felt you were hearing the songs for the first time. She had incredible presence and would survey the whole audience (seated at small tables) aware of every person. Singing “Don't Think Twice, It's All Right” she almost spat “You just kinda wasted my precious time”. We were metres from her (similar to Tocky with Steppenwolf) at a small table in front of the stage and I was transfixed. Hardly dared breathe. Just her and a very good pianist on upright piano. The last time I saw her she’d gone too much show-biz cabaret for my liking but this is from 2004.
