But I do have some new Spotify strangeness to report.
Because they are finally breaking into the US they have tightened up on their Digital Rights Management - but haven't quite got it right. Previously a track would be greyed out if it was available but not licensed in your current location. As of the date and time of this post, that doesn't happen - the track appears to be playing, but no sound comes out - doesn't even skip to the next one. It is v. irritating and I hope only temporary...Comment

Anyone got any good fiddle tunes to post?
It seems that the world economy is burning up - we may as well listen to some good music as it goes down in flames...Comment

I love 'Waiting for the Federals', in honour of those fine banks and the brinksmanship they like to indulge in, Global, to keep us on our toes - or should that read our uppers? - anyway Aly and his mates do it justice.Originally posted by Globaltruth View Post

Yep, that'll do for a start JC. In fact I loved it - he used to knock around with Billy Connolly I think?
I know this feller is not playing a fiddle, and this is a rough old cut, but this should be on the playlist too...he used to be AK's roadie or something

Obviously the only music to play whilst observing these truly terrible events is by The Clash.
White Riot, This is England, Guns in Brixton....just play the whole CD.
But I'd rather be able to recommend

Yes, indeed GT. I'm currently having part 543 of my existential crisis. The lifelong liberalism and multiculturalism are seriously all a-wobble. In fact, I feel a strong dose of rigid authoritarianism coming on to be applied both by the powers that be to themselves and to the frankenstein's monster they have spawned.
Much as I loved Strummer, it perhaps needs to be remembered where he ended. In a pretty pink house just outside Glastonbury, with roses round the door, and in an almost permanent dysfunctional depression. All the "Guns of Brixton" and "This is England" stuff - many of us had hoped that the poetry would be a sufficient rattling of the sword to bring the politicians to their senses. Unfortunately, they never accepted it and so all of the macho artistic stances became deflated.
I have got on my list here (a) A zero tolerance approach to corruption among the elites - they need to self-manage (b) a much stricter censorship of hip-hop and game culture (c) Maximum salaries of £100,000 (d) Parliament to show real willingness to work with Middle England, not against it (e) Big exercise to safe house 7 year old rioters with hard graft regime (f) Prison islands for others with boot camps (g) Zero immigration to help people of all creeds - we just don't have the money or resources for more.
I am feeling very tired and desperately disappointed. For me, this is nothing less than the death of almost all I believed in although I still have enormous respect for many non-British people. Mostly, I'm feeling very old and ill. - Kind regards, Lat.Comment

Back to the music.....
The chain is perilously close to 600 - one of your recent adds is, as ever, worthy of comment JC - Jessie Mae Hemphill. The She-Wolf (and I don't mean Wendi Deng).
Now - how did you come across her?
I found her via this film
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qHu5rgNYMOM....
I remember getting some of her CD's imported from the US a few years ago before music broke its global boundaries.
Hers ended up a sad tale, as is often the way, but her rendition of Shame, shame, shame about 10 minutes in remains a personal fave. Yay.Comment

Kershaw, Global ( there's a surprise ) - on a tape somewhere of an old AK I have a really brilliant track by her and a guy - I went to try to find more - can't recall his name right now - I found stuff by him but it weren't near as good as this track with her - I think the guitar on the spotty track is really something else - didn't know she had come to a sticky end.Originally posted by Globaltruth View Post
I'll try to dig out the track again. I think it was Chicken and Gravy with Richard Johnston. You can have a listen down this page.
Here's another great she who came to a sad fate.

Paul, that SE Rogie was just great - he really was a terrific guitarist - went way too early.
