Hamell On Trial - Sarah Street Grill 2005

Hamell On Trial, live at the Sarah Street Grill, 22nd December 2005

Ed Hamell's a whirling dervish touting a battered and ancient acoustic, he is both deadly serious, and not serious at all. For instance, he writes songs about his distaste for the way politicians constantly bullshit, but then totally makes you laugh by calling them things like Coulters Snatch and saying how funny it would be to say that Ann Coulter has a smelly pussy, citing the "throw enough mud" argument. Not so funny when I write about it, but the track is immense!

He's currently signed to Righteous Babe, owned by Ani Defranco, who also plays and sings a little on his albums, and most of his income comes from a gruelling tour schedule across the States, though he has had slots in such places as the world famous Edinburgh Festival, primarily for comedians, yet his show won many an accolade. His recorded shows are made freely available for the world too, you can find them at the fabulous Internet Archive, where most are available in any format you could need, except this one, hence I'm posting it! It is a great show nonetheless. Enjoy!

I would write out the tracklist as per usual, but there's loads of them (29!) and I'm bored of being on the computer as it took til the third attempt to upload part 2!

Jeff Buckley - Palais Theatre 1996

Jeff Buckley, live at the Palais Theatre Melbourne, 28th February 1996

Sadly this is only about half the set from the night, but on the upside it is soundboard sourced...so I'm guessing FM perhaps? It's common for radio broadcasts to not put out full concerts anyway. This bootleg has a full band Moodswing Whiskey, but sadly lacking the excellent Vancouver at the climax. Ah well...

01. Moodswing Whiskey
02. Mojo Pin
03. I Woke Up In A Strange Place
04. Lilac Wine
05. Eternal Life

Death Cab For Cutie - Brixton Academy 2008

Death Cab For Cutie, Brixton Academy London, 17th July 2008

I wrongly said that Death Cab took their name from Alex Chilton (very silly of me as I've known for years it's not), as Alex played this song on many an occasion. It is of course taken from the English band The Gonzo Dog Doo Dah Band, who played the song in the film Magical Mystery Tour, as well as Neil Innes being a smaller member of the Monty Python comedy group, contributing to musical numbers with Eric Idle, and appearing as one of the Mounties in the memorable Lumberjack sketch for instance.

I'll shut up about that now, it's nothing to do with the band Death Cab For Cutie! Enjoy the show :)

The Clash - Jamaica World Music Fest 1982

The Clash, Montego Bay Jamaica, 27th November 1982

London Calling, if it's not in your top ten albums of the eighties, okay I'll give you twenty, then gtfo! I know my LP of this is pretty early, and good 'ole Wiki has just confirmed it for me, as it doesn't include Train In Vain on the cover. Do you think I can be arsed to see if it's a first run though? No, plus there's probably loads of them out there making it worth about £5.75 anyway.

An unrelated random bit of music trivia, kinda: Yesterday I shared a train carriage with Eggsy of Goldie Lookin' Chain. Aren't I special...Nope.

01. London Calling
02. Police On My Back
03. The Guns Of Brixton
