Two hearts are better than one.

We're born grumpy. Our ability to contain our grumpiness simply diminishes with age. 😠

Some Nick Lowe for you.

Bump

Very clever! 👏👏 The bitter irony was the bit they sampled was written by Decca's orchestra arranger, one David Whitaker – who was not credited on either recording! And the Stones have been on the other side too. On their 1997 single 'Has Anybody Seen My Baby?,' they had to give songwriting...

Oo-er, missus!

Sorry, I missed your Season, Del. This was on the back burner, but I hope fits here just as well. Featuring not one but two Andalusian cadences, modulation to the relative 4th & back, augmented chords - who says rockabilly's simple? :-D

I was at that show, Oct 29, 1972, Empire Pool, Wembley (now renamed as Wembley Arena, but the seating's still laid out like it's a swimming pool). I remember it well. The Dolls were supporting the Faces. It's fair to say, it wasn't exactly their audience. :)

I've done this before, and better, but it is my Christmas party special. 🎄

To preserve formatting for songsheets, go back to your OP & put them inside the ['code'] ['/code'] tags, as per above.🤓 Typeface inside the code tags is always monospaced, so a pro tip is to write out your songsheet in Courier using a simple text editor (Windows Notepad for example), then, using...

Another (quick) cover of "The Fool On The Hill"

According to Wikipedia (!), this is the list of the songs covered in that Axis of Awesome sketch. HTH. (Just back from Albania, btw). Songs in the official music video: Journey – "Don't Stop Believin'" James Blunt – "You're Beautiful" The Black Eyed Peas – "Where Is the Love" Alphaville –...

Guitars & trumpets!

Herbivores fall into two basic categories: grazers (like sheep); or browsers (like goats). White (wide-mouthed) rhinos are grazers. Black rhinos are browsers. It's International Rhino Day, folks!

(UK radio personality)Danny Baker pointed out a few years back that ITLAP Day should in fairness really be entitled "International Talk Like Robert Newton Day" as it's his OTT performance as Long John Silver in Disney's 1950 production of Treasure Island that everyone imitates when they talk...

Oops! Wrong link. This was the Ronnie Lane number sung by Ronnie Wood, and the only time RW took lead vox with the Faces. :)

Another Season, another rabbit-hole. My broadband's gone awry. Won't be fixed till middle of next week. :-(
