A blog nominally about music and flicks that will jump the lights at any opportunity and take a hard left into a bad part of town.
Then we switch off the lights, leave the motor running and see what comes our way...
All images and opinions are my own. Actually some of the images aren't...

Royal Trux - “A Night to Remember” (Live on The Word, UK, 1995)
The band are in a different place to the audience on at least three levels.
Saw Royal Trux about this time upstairs at Manchester University. There was a lot of hair, smoking. Hagerty was facing the other way the whole gig. I don’t think I saw Jennifer’s face once though she was facing our way at least.
I don’t think I’d ever seen such a stylish pair.
The Ramones - Live Arturo’s loft, 1975
Amazing early footage filmed by their art director Arturo Vega.
Colourbox - “Looks like we’re shy one horse”
… Looks like you bought two too many.
One of the great lost 4AD bands, it’s hard to explain how ‘from space’ this music sounded like in the mid-80s. This and ‘Shotgun’ from the mini album are still wonderful now.
The Beach Boys - “Make It Happen”
Dennis Wilson on lead vocal, this in isolation is possibly the perfect Beach Boys song for me. Carl & The Passions is patchy as hell by this… my word. Enjoy.
Carlton Melton - “When you’re in”
Splendid heavy psych and a Pink Floyd cover to boot though you wouldn’t necessarily know it. From their first album.
A beast.
Tom Waits - “I’m Still Here”
Tucked away on the Alice album. A wonderful heart breaker reminiscent of Small Change era Waits.
A world in 1min 49s.
Curtis Mayfield - Billy Jack (live)
I think this is as late as 1990 but it’s still a wonderful thing. Listening to a lot of Curtis at the moment. There’s No Place Like America Today is just killer…
