'Dream Sequence' - Pauline Murray (Peel Session 31.03.80)

And entirely by accident we've wound up with a trilogy of Peel-connected posts from the 80-83 era.

This shuffled at me minutes ago as I trolled back from the shops, Robert Blamire's big post-punk bass just the ticket for a cold meh squally day.

I prefer this stripped-down version to the one on the album.

Happy Burns Night.

Ivor Cutler - 'Life In A Scotch Sitting Room, Volume 2 (Episode 15)' (1983)

Young Marble Giants - Peel Session (26.08.80)

Pleased to have uncovered this, taped from the broadcast itself, with snippets of Peel back-announcing some of the songs.

The version of 'Posed By Models' is especially fine.

Thanks to @keepingitpeel for Tweeting a link to the upload on YouTube and bringing it all back in the first place.

The Smiling Hour

Marvellous jumpin' jive from an old NME tape I jammily picked up in LP form. 

Are you hip to where the cats cut after the show?

The Three Barons - 'Milkshake Stand' (1944)

How Are Things In Glocca Morra?

I have long loved the wistful melodic line of this but could never get behind it entirely, thanks-but-no-thanks to the cornball lyrics and cod Oirish accent it's usually sung in, which out of the context in Finian's Rainbow can grate, big time.

How terrific then to hear Sonny's take.

Stellar line-up too [Rollins (ts) Donald Byrd (t) Wynton Kelly (p) Gene Ramey (b) Max Roach (d)]

Sublime.

Sonny Rollins - 'How Are Things In Glocca Morra?' (1956)

Friday Reggae # 37

Crikey, I don't think that first Guinness even touched the sides.

If you want me, I'll be in the dub.

Culture - 'Not Ashamed Dub' (1977)

Patti Page (November 8, 1927 - January 1, 2013)

Loveliness itself.

RIP.
