En cette nation [Russie] qui n'a pas eu de théoriciens et de démagogues,
les pires ferments de destruction ont apparu. (J. Péladan)

One I liked back in 1984:

The holy city breathed like a dying man...

... and back to the present. The song goes off like a rocket. 🚀

A brandnew song by Chris Eckman (looking forward to his album, out in June)


The snow came early
And stayed long
Deep into the spring

So much shock
Too little awe
Thought I'd seen everything
The holy city breathed like a dying man...

Yes, again, but this is always one I come back to...


...and anyway, we've just had the wettest week in a long, long time...

♥ ♥ ♥ the drums on this - and the general feel.  I'm sure part of me is Celtic.

Always really liked this one too, now you've set off a Waterboys chain reaction...

Had I judged Hothouse Flowers by their radio songs, I'd not have been that interested.  But it's what they're hiding on their albums that is amazing.   :heart-eyes


Saw them live three times in the 1990s - one at the Perth Entertainment Centre, one at Belvoir Amphitheatre, and an acoustic gig in Forrest Chase in the city.  Initially I only had tickets for the Entertainment Centre gig, but I quickly snapped up a miraculously remaining ticket to see them at the Amphitheatre because the first gig had been so fantastic.  Their lead singer was barefoot and did a few a capella numbers in Gaelic that filled the whole venue and you could have heard a pin drop in the spaces between the words he was singing.  I wasn't the only person holding my breath.  Totally amazing singer, and the band filled with multi-instrumentalists.  In case you only know them from some of their cheesy radio hits.  Was listening to the album that's off today.

I've always liked this one, but it seems to be a one-off...never found anything else by this lot I liked listening to. Suggestions welcome - I certainly haven't ploughed through the catalogue.  If I hit 4-5 songs I don't like in a row, I kind of give up on an artist and try something else.

I liked (at least) one of them:


It's the 12" vinyl 45rpm, released in '88, I bought it in early 90s. Back then someone told me they try to sound like Waterboys, I shrugged it off, but maybe he wasn't totally wrong.

BTT: I hope that someone up there loves me
