Here's a compilation of some of the music that caught my attention since the last time I did one of these things.

The links to the songs are in the headings.

The Sensual World - Kate Bush

Lets start off with some church bells and a bit of nostalgia. A seriously underrated song in my opinion.

Back from the days when the music industry was awash with money and could make videos like this.

I was rather blown away by In Fear of Olive when I caught them at Oporto in June. There's a ramshackle rockabilly feel to this song. The drummer's pretty impressive as well.

The Waltz - Wilful Missing

A good video for a good song by a good band. What's not to like.

Yet another quality local band from West Yorkshire.

There's a dearth of good videos on YouTube for Piskie Sits.

So here's a link to Soundcloud. This song is a kind of lost classic of theirs. It doesn't feature in their live set at the moment and was chucked away as a b-side I believe.

Perhaps we should start a campaign to get it back into their live set?

Raga Jhinjhoti - Giuliano Modarelli & Upneet Singh

Something a little bit different. This is an Italian guitarist I caught live at the Brudenell.

He is heavily into Indian music. When I saw him live he was solo and he created his own percussion by banging his guitar and looping the results.

Some Lightning Thrill - Cave Birds

Live I'm not completely convinced by this band. One good and one average performance so far.

This song is pretty good though. Catchy and dancey.

Baby Boom Empire - Chapter 13

A bit of old school punk rock late seventies style from Chapter 13.

I get a lot of music via my emusic account these days. Japandroids came recommended from this source.

The name suggests some weird synthy band to me. But actually they are a duo (guitar and drums) playing loud, fast, sloppy rock and roll.

Not the best quality this performance but its got energy and humor.
