One of their singles had a great live version of a song called 'Clear White Light' on the b-side. My CD only has the studio version if I remember correctly but still worth a listen.Mickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13086396915055033307noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35608056.post-53950936025379256032009-02-04T21:13:00.000+00:002009-02-04T21:13:00.000+00:00Oh look!Lindisfarne - 'Meet Me On The Corner' (197...Oh look!<BR/><BR/>Lindisfarne - <A HREF="http://www.mediafire.com/?mjj2mm0dk0y" REL="nofollow">'Meet Me On The Corner'</A> (1971)<BR/><BR/>I haven't heard this for years - not since Small Welsh Stevie put it on a tape with lots of US punk and leftfield mallarkey in the dark, dark, lost mid-80s.<BR/><BR/>What larks!davyhhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09704293846638226252noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35608056.post-59327248580877027292009-02-04T19:47:00.000+00:002009-02-04T19:47:00.000+00:00Hey!

For the first time in my life I was ashamed of where I came from.<BR/><BR/>Have been a little bit envious of you Southerners this week with your snow, we only had a smattering of about 2 inches and that disappeared by aboutlunch time Monday.<BR/><BR/>The media have got themselves all worked up about the weather and school closures. Worst winter in 14 years, bollocks, we were snowed in for 3 days in Feb 2001, it was great.<BR/><BR/>I don't know if i mentioned it but Airborne Toxic Event were excellent on Friday night, everybody needs to buy the album.drewhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12469084438125548989noreply@blogger.com
