return to pearse

So other blogs have their caption competitions or their fluffy links, but this is as close as you’re going to get to a regular feature around here. I did it once before, and I may well do it again, but there is as yet no planned schedule.

Like the last installment, this one will follow a mainly musical theme.

I started by looking up a performance I saw on Later… with Jools Holland again:

I think I quite like Shy Child. Their mySpace page has some other nice songs. I particularly like The Volume and Summer.

After hearing The Avalanches’ Frontier Psychiatrist (above) on the radio a while back I looked them up. It’s quite a display of their sampling skills, and I think their Since I Left You has the potential to be quite the Summer song. Their myspace page is here.

When I originally heard Frontier Psychiatrist, I at first thought it might have been Messiah J & the Expert, and for that (if no better) reason, here’s Something Outta Nothing:

There’s more on their website and myspace (particular attention is drawn to Superfamous Supertune and All the Other Girls)

Nothing here in a while. Will have some photos from my new DIY Macro Photography Lighting Rig up soon.

Just to tie you over till then, an ad. The whole Jaguar “Gorgeous” thing seems a bit pretentious, but I’ll forgive them, if only for the music (Collarbone) provided by Fujiya & Miyagi (I took this photo at their gig in Crawdaddy in February). Not bad for a band who still had their day jobs until a week after that gig:

Wasting some time on YouTube recently, I got sucked into the adventure of following ‘related video’ links.

Started off with the excellent David O’Doherty:

Which led on to David Kitt:

Which led, via some Jape videos, to The Redneck Manifesto:
