On this day in 2022, I was at the Leadmill to see #TheUndertones #NevilleStapleBand
Pics: yours truly.

This is very true.

An absolute joy to witness the UK debut performance by @heyhumdrum.bsky.social in Manchester last night 🎶🎶🎶

And you know that Mark adjusted the keyboards in the middle of a show.

And then kicked him out of the band for eating lettuce.

This is true. I stood in front of him once waiting for him to sign his book.

Mickey, It's a car windscreen sticker rather than an adhesive one.

Here's what that Lovin' Spoonful box set looks like.
All you need to know really.
The Late Show ends tonight with one of their most beautiful songs. Even I can appreciate it.
Didn't Want To Have To Do It.
Good night...

ahh... it's cruush. Tastefully decorated record cover, too.
Their top hit, Great Dane , gets another walk on the MB Record Show.
It's good for the dog and good for you, too.

Happy Birthday Kiki Dee.
In the past, the flags were brought out to celebrate the day.
She's much cooler now.
This is a great Motown single, too.
Sitting well in the MBRS

The song that broke the band? Lee didn't approve of it since it's a Song about Wilko's wife and a 'girlfriend' of his...

Buck Meek. A regular Dapper Dan. His collection of new music is around here somewhere.
The Mirror, it's called. And it has a song called Worms. Which is better than the title would suggest.
On the LSwMB/MBRS right here, right now.

Wilko.
Paradise now on the MB Record Show. To follow Heavenly, of course.
Also to remind Feelgood fans that Ralph McClean, my BBC Radio Ulster team mate, did a special show on Stupidity last week. Still on BBC Sounds.
Paradise here .... buff.ly/6tjUOkk
Stupidity here .... buff.ly/CNAAEZ6

The Heavenly marketing machine goes into overdrive!
I assume this is a sticker, which makes me regret getting rid of the school bag I had at St Peter's.
Excuse Me, which is a never ending source of delight, is now on the radio round here.

One keyboard above another? Very Rick Wakeman...

It's not changed all that much in 50 years (the building on the cover is now the HQ of Dogs Trust)

She opened for Miki Berenyi Trio here in the U.S. recently. Due to visa bullshit, she was without her band when they played here in Chicago. And it was still great -- she's so captivating (and the MB3 backed her on two songs). I dig her two solo LPs so much.

I knew there were many many people who were members of The Fall, but this is maybe my favourite of their keyboard players. Plinky Dink Rabbit.
No, this is a photo on the new deluxe edition of Fall Heads Roll. Four discs, smashing booklet and Youwanner.
As heard on the MBRS.

Ah, yes. Laura Nyro. Nothing taken too lightly. But always sounding brilliant.
Luckie , from the 1968 LP Eli & the 13th Confession, brings the swing to the MB Record Show.

3 cheers for making me aware of that box Mickey!

Fredericks Row, which is off Goswell Road, just around the corner from Angel tube station

It's the Ladder Lady. Gina is in the Limelight in Belfast tomorrow night, warming up the audience for the Au Pairs.
And , if you are badly behaved, you may hear one of her best tunes.
Causing Trouble Again. Now on the MBRS

Well... this from the booklet of a forthcoming box set of The Lovin' Spoonful.
On Cherry Red, of course.
Seven discs, and one of them has a demo version of Daydream.
So, the decision's been made for me.
Now on the LSwMB

where is it? The location, not the car.

I was always a fan of the version on Chiswick Chartbusters, courtesy of Rocky Sharpe And The Razors. The Titans did two versions. One with a band, one acapella.
The Razors followed the acapella. But the released version, with musical accompaniment, is now on the MB Record Show.

The excellent Sunday Mourners LP.
While you listen to the sounds, feel free to colour in the cover.
(Crayons not included)
He Cried now on the MBRS

I can't remember it......

Strangers in town.....
It's fifty years this summer since this LP landed.
It has the wonderful I'll Cry Alone on it. The song that would have sounded well on Hard Days Night.
Now playing on the MB Record Show.

It's Mr Lee Dorsey.
Sittin on his la la waiting for his ya ya...
Now on the MBRS

The bass player on some of this album is Murray Hammond from Old 97’s, who are a great alt country/Americana band. i’m not sure I’ve ever heard you play them, but if you’ll take a request, please play “Melt Show.”

Another season song.....
The Go - Betweens. Spring Rain.
Robert Forster looks tall, but sometimes it's just because the others are far away or crouching.
