This was on Pick of the Pops with To-nee Blackburn! today, so I checked out the video:

Is it me or is that really funny? Not just the way they squeeze the picture when Ann Wilson's there to make her look thinner (doesn't work) but the whole story to it, plus punchline. |

Alison Faith Levy & Mushroom - The Sun Machine is Coming Down
Just listened to it on Spotify. Excellent. Out of chaos comes a first class cover of a Bowie classic. |

Public Service Broadcasting: Inform Educate Entertain. A mixture of clips from old information films set to music, such a simple idea but it sounds great. Really draws you in and the quotes are ingeniously chosen. Plus the music's good, too.
Here's a sample, Signal 30:

| Earlier in the year it was reported Vini Reilly wasn't very well, so I bought (didn't illegally download) a copy of The Return of the Durutti Column recently to send a bit of money his way. Great album, eerie and gentle, fantastic guitar work, recommended. |

Well done, you!
I also recommend 'The Guitar and Other Machines'. |

| Thanks, I might check that out. My next purchase will have to be Daft Punk, though. |

| Quote: | Pussy Riot’s Alyokhina announces hunger strike
http://rt.com/news/alekhina-court-hunger-riot-624/
Maria Alyokhina, an imprisoned member of punk band Pussy Riot, has declared a hunger strike in protest against a court’s decision not to allow her to personally attend a hearing on her possible parole release.
Following the announcement, the court ruled to postpone the parole hearing till May 23. “I’m declaring a hunger strike and order my defense lawyers not to take part in this court trial,” Alyokhina stated.
She participated in the hearing via video conference from the penal colony in the Perm region in Russia’s Urals, where she is serving her two-year sentence for hooliganism over the Pussy Riot’s ‘punk-prayer’ in Moscow’s main Russian Orthodox cathedral.
“Given that the Bereznikovsky city court [considering Alyokhina’s parole release] is just across the road from the colony, the decision to deny her to attend the hearing can only be explained as humiliation,” tweeted Pavel Chikov, head of Agora, an association of human rights organizations.
Prosecutor Lev Tashnikov said there was no need for Alyokhina’s presence in the courtroom. The judge also said that there were no grounds for her to attend the hearing, as she could talk with her defense lawyer via the video link, Rossiyskaya Gazeta reported.
During the Wednesday hearing, Alyokhina also demanded that the judge – who refused to let her personally participate in the hearing – and the prosecutor recuse themselves from the trial. Prosecutor Tashkinov has personal enmity towards her, she argued. The court rejected both requests.
Alyokhina, 24, appealed for parole in April, seven months after the court sentenced her and two other Pussy Riot members to jail. Her fellow band member Nadezhda Tolokonnikova – who is also serving a two-year sentence – was denied parole last month. The third convicted activist, Ekaterina Samutsevich, was released on probation in October last year.
It is yet unclear whether Alyokhina will participate in tomorrow’s court hearing. |

Dunno if this is up anyone's street, but this is my cover of Murray Gold's track madman with a Box.

Video clips are from Hellraiser I & II (you can see where that is going, can't you?), so perhaps not entirely sfw. |

I watched them on Youtube with the sound off. That was enough for me. |

Random Access Memories by Daft Punk. I could probably do without hearing Get Lucky for the billionth time this year, but this is a real chocolate box of an album, with a couple of toffees I'm less keen on but lots of great flavours. There's a collaboration with Paul Williams (Bugsy Malone, The Rainbow Connection) which is the highlight for me so far, though that could change as I get to know the other songs.
As a statement that this is no collection of singles and is actually a proper album to be listened to all the way through in one sitting like in the old days, I can only applaud it. Bravo! Formidable! |

I love that tune. Seriously, love it.
I discovered a Steeleye Span "best of" LP recently - "All Around My Hat" is a reet stomper! |
