TUESDAY BLUES! Elbow - Jesus was a Rochdale Girl
Elbow - Jesus was a Rochdale Girl (2011)
The wind & rain is currently lashing at the windows, the coffee's poured, the toasts in the toaster, my wife's off to work, a thousand things to do.... but first, listen to this. It features on Elbow's latest album "Build a rocket boys!" and caught me the first time I heard it. Whether it's the broken piano melody, the heartbeat bass drum, the rhythmic guitar strumming or just the list of things that Guy Garvey sings about, it just makes it sound so hypnotic - then 3 minutes later it's over, I wake up from the trance, and get back to today's tasks!
...I've got the Tuesdays blues, because Saturday is so far away (get more here)

Singing Bear, Jools Holland, maybe a knob, but you can't deny that it's a great show. I love the eclectic nature of it, he's not afraid of pitching say Brian Wilson along side Dizzee Rascal and where else would you see that?
I know what you mean about being put off by a favourite band once they hit mega popularity, Singing Bear. Its happened to me a few times. But I also get hit the opposite way...only getting into a group through them steaming up the charts! It must tip the balance!
Jools...your show was pretty good once but I think you *are* a knob. I liked Squeeze, though!
