Did you make it to the end?

Yes I did, then showed my wife . Both thought it hilarious. You'll have to try harder 

Here's a couple that some may find depressing. The Van Zandt I find more sorrowful than depressing but the R Thompson is dark, gloom and doom from the tomb indeed.







I feel for you, you little horror

Safe at your mother's breast

No lucky break for you around the corner

'Cause your father is a bully

And he thinks that you're a pest

And your sister she's no better than a whore.

Life seems so rosy in the cradle,

But I'll be a friend I'll tell you what's in store

There's nothing at the end of the rainbow.

There's nothing to grow up for anymore

Tycoons and barrow boys will rob you

And throw you on the side

And all because they love themselves sincerely

And the man holds a bread knife

Up to you throat that's four feet wide

And he's anxious just to show you what it's for.

Your mother works so hard to make you happy

But take a look outside the nursery door

There's nothing at the end of the rainbow.

There's nothing to grow up for anymore

And all the sad and empty faces

That pass you on the street

All running in their sleep, all in a dream

Every loving handshake

Is just another man to beat

How your heart aches just to cut him to the core

Life seems so rosy in the cradle,

But I'll be a friend I'll tell you what's in store

There's nothing at the end of the rainbow.

There's nothing to grow up for anymore

Richard Thompson has been accused many times of making depressing music but I prefer to think he just shines a light into the darker corners of life which have their share of sorrow and regret.


When the spell is broken

When the spell is broken

How you ever gonna keep her now

You can't cry if you don't know how

When the spell is broken

When the spell is broken

All the joy is gone from her face

Welcome back to the human race

How long can the flame

Of love remain

When you curse and fight

And never see like

Or hear like spoken

When the spell is broken

(Can't cry if you don't know how)

(Can't cry if you don't know how)

When the spell is broken

(Can't cry if you don't know how)

Oh when the spell is broken

All your magic and your ways and schemes

All your lies come and tear at your dreams

When the spell is broken

(Can't cry if you don't know how)

When the spell is broken

Now you're handing her that same old line

It's just straws in the wind this time

When love has died,

There's none starry-eyed

No kiss, no tears,

No farewell souvenirs

Not even a token, when the spell is broken



Don't swear your heart

From the very start

Love letters you wrote

Are pushed back down you throat

And leave you choking, when the spell is broken

(When the spell, When the spell, When the spell is broken)

When the spell is broken

When the spell is broken

(When the spell, When the spell, When the spell is broken)

When the spell is broken

When the spell is broken

Here's one: dark, gloomy... and foreboding

Thanks. They are great. I bought a few dmp's from Roy back in the day - not this one but a couple of samplers - one of which went missing at one point.



A great bass solo at 2.25

Some more dmp : Flim & the BB's live : tricycle B-]

These arrived today, so have had the record thing spinning.

I'd heard the last track, 20, Besame Mucho (bolero) on Concert FM and sought it out (Marbecks).

Good for a change of mood; it's had a few replays.

I just realised I had this sitting in tabs from recently, my first visit.
Hadn't heard the Slade Lovin' Spoonful cover before. Interesting writing.

Kraftwerk – Trans Europe Express

A masterful piece of pulsating pop electronica.

Cecil Taylor – Unit Structures, Blue Note Classics reissue.

Needs a few more listens to digest.

40 years old.

I remember buying it new

Same!

As a teen I thought it was great. I now much prefer Nebraska.

Bobby Hutcherson – Stick-Up!

Tone Poet vinyl series. The series that keeps on giving.

Just waiting for the Matariki sales
