The (possibly not always) World Music Exchange

Ah well, perhaps not so bizarrely the only place I can find Monkey Hair is on the almost defunct MySpace

For those too busy to waste a click, read this as you would a poem:

Thank you for that Global - what a delight; and with the release, I notice, of a movie about Grace Kelly this week how much better if they had instead just recorded Mick Marra's introduction to Hamish the Goalie, or as he also called it Princess Grace visit to Tannadice.

...and of course you can't go away without a listen to the great song...a fave of our old friend Lat, of course.

Here's Sakar Khan recreating Rajasthani train on the Kamancha from the most recent Songlines Comp, recorded just before his death last year...stunning stuff, I thought.

Oilrig played this very good, I thought, version of Lyke Wake Dirge by Martin Green on Friday's show.

The recent edition of Songlines arrived when I was on hols and the associated CD has some very fine things in there, including 5 of the best from the always dependable Don Letts, but this one from 'Calypso' by Brownie really brought a smile to the face. King Bed Bug the First...honestly!

Those were the days of the late night movie shows in Glasgow's West End, Global. Reckon I never saw it before midnight.
Some amazing west coast weather by the way.
The midgies were bloodthirsty...no fleas mind you!
