Nice Nostalgia.Must have been lots of fun recording.As for the two tracks were you lead I would say "Pretty Vacant " because of the way you can roll an R.The second one would be too wild a guess.

@seimh: ha ha! No, that's Crigg again. No one's guessed which ones are me :-)

Electric Prunes - I Had Too Much To Dream

Track 5 of the new Waterboys album AN APPOINTMENT WITH MR YEATS, to be released 19 September 2011.

The girl goes dancing there
on the leaf-sown, new-mown, smooth grass of the garden
escaped from her bitter youth
escaped from out of her crowd 
and her black cloud

Ah dancer, ah sweet dancer
Ah dancer, ah sweet dancer

If men come from the house
to lead her away please do not say she is crazy
lead them gently astray
let her finish the dance
finish the dance

Ah dancer, ah sweet dancer
Ah dancer, ah sweet dancer

She sings as the moon sings     
I am I, I am I
the greater grows my light
the further shall I fly 
I hear the wind a-blow
I hear the grass a-grow
And all that I know
I know, I know    

Ah dancer, ah sweet dancer
Ah dancer, ah sweet dancer

The girl goes dancing there
on the leaf-sown, new-mown, smooth grass of the garden
let her finish the dance
let her finish the dance
finish the dance

Ah dancer, ah sweet dancer
Ah dancer, ah sweet dancer
Ah dancer, ah sweet dancer
Ah dancer, ah sweet dancer

I recorded this with my mates in 1981 as a parody of the then-massive "Stars On 45" craze; grimly cheerful medleys of Beatles and other '60s classics sung over disco beats. We loathed those records, seeing them as a shallow nostalgic diminishment of what had once been great. So we made our punk version as a protest/pastiche, complete with moronic intro music a la Stars On 45, dodgy DJ talkover (brilliantly done by real DJ and Ensign Records man Chris Hill), and a melee of punk songs. At the end we morphed into reggae and let the words of The Clash's immortal White Man In Hammersmith Palais make the point. 

We almost released it under the name The Rolling Grundies (after Bill Grundy, the drunk TV presenter who encouraged the Sex Pistols to swear on TV and so unintentionally turned punk into a national phenomenon) but changed our minds because we we didn't want to have to deal with it if the record took off. Especially if people missed the angle and thought we were simply cashing in on the medley craze.

I sing lead on two of the songs - if you can guess which, post a comment in the timeline. The chap in the picture is my old skool-pal Crigg who sang three of the others.

There was a 'b' side too - "Noise On 45" - 6 minutes of random musical bashings, dog growlings and chants of "noise noise noise" over the same disco beat. But I will spare you that.

Talking Heads - Psycho Killer

my lonesome prairie version of the great Arvo Part tune.

Souped up fandango version with good rolling bassline - still missing my fade outro metaphysical rant which I shout as I drive through the gloaming

Been blogging, music sharing, etc. for a while now (see blog under this name) & DJing since 1982. I like all kinds of music.

Most of my playlists are not organized & just hold songs I'm interested in, many of which I haven't listened to yet. The "freeform current listening" playlist is as it says & will be updated regularly. Many of my reposts were unintentional, they were just random tracks I was trying to add to a playlist using my phone & I've got clumsy fingers.

These are songs and mash-ups from my home studio. Some feature The Waterboys, some just me, some are other stuff. 

You can upload any of the tracks to your own page (use the share option above the play button).

You're welcome to comment. I love to know what you think. And keep dropping by because new stuff is being added all the time.
