Hastily and poorly cobbled together video for the sole purpose of sharing Laura Marling's cover of Led Zeppelin's short but sweet instrumental 'Bron-Yr'Aur' from the soon to be re-issued 'Physical Graffiti' album, recorded especially for Mojo magazine.
Best of 2014 - The TDWS Audacity Selection
Though I compiled this lot nearly two months ago, my slovenliness
means it's only getting posted now. No podcast this time, just downloads.
I will be podcasting and posting again
soon though, lists of ten, 15 minutes with, random web finds etc. Podcasts will
focus on music found whilst routinely on t'web and recent personal faves and
purchases. And hopefully a site re-launch when TheGrid gets going early spring.
However, here are the downloads for the
2014 compilations, fairly mainstream this year, I may be mellowing with age.
Track of the year? For me, probably the Springsteen/Morello rework of 'The
Ghost of Tom Joad' featuring some of the most outrageous guitar work I've ever
heard. Please enjoy.

Juke - Phoenix Fridays - Officially endorsed live mp3 download!
You'll
have often heard me going on about Juke this year. Here's an easy slice of why.
The recent Phoenix FM 'Phoenix Fridays' slot containing about 85% of their
current set, with covers for printing too. And as a bonus the bands raucous
cover of 'Suffragette City', lower quality, recorded on my phone, but still
blinding. This is officially band endorsed! Two choices, firstly unfiltered,
background noise etc., but more upfront, secondly filtered, background noise
filtered out, vocals a bit clearer but overall less attack in the sound. You
can download whatever one you choose, or both, including covers. Grab it while
you can, not sure how long I'll leave it up for.
Juke - Live at Old Brentwoods, for Phoenix FM 'Phoenix Fridays' 18/07/14
Two from Juke, including new song Ain't Got Time For You.
David Bowie - Cityscape - A NonStop Compilation
Some years back, maybe 10 or more, I compiled this selection as a CD for my car, mainly culled from mid to late 70's recordings, centred around the so called Berlin recordings, loosely urban themed . I've played it many many times over the years, in the car and in the home; it always strikes me as being some of the greatest music ever made when I play it. So, for those of you with a passing or greater interest in Bowie, here it is. Click on the links for a download etc. Please enjoy.
Songdog and Phil Burdett - a house gig presented by Queensland, Colchester, Essex.
Phil Burdett has always been a wonderful performer to watch
in such intimate settings accompanying only himself and tonight was no
difference. Plenty of song from an album not appearing until next year, a few
picks from his now extensive back catalogue and one from his current album.
Phil seems to revel in this backhand self-promotion and his set was concise,
fresh and a treat. Here’s ‘Valentino Mainline’ to provide video evidence of the
whole thing.
After a short break Songdog squeeze themselves (at one point
all six of them) into the performance area and do their thing. Starting with
the first song from their first album, 2001’s ‘The Way Of The World’s sublime “Isabel”
and presenting a set coursed through their whole catalogue, the band were in
absolute fine fettle. Highlight for me, “Fairytale”, the band joined by manager
Corrinne Frazzoni on joint lead vocal, as seen here.
And so after a dozen or so songs from Songdog the gig drew
to close. Time for a mingle and a chat and a few photo opportunities. A great
idea, the ‘Queensland house gig’ series (there’ve been about six of these now)
is a wonderful idea, put on in a welcoming, warm and friendly way by wonderful
hosts Ray and Ali Canham. Hat’s off to the two of you, and to Phil Burdett and
Songdog. Here they are again with “Bumpy Road” from 2013’s ‘Last Orders at Harry’s
Bar’
Ed Harcourt - The Saddest Orchestra (Live Wonderland Mag Session)
Just came across this little belter, track 3 from the mini album 'Time Of Dust'. Great performance, great 'tache.

Juke, at the Railway, Southend on Sea, 22/05/14
Barnstorming Juke gig last night, best one yet. In true ThamesDelta WorldService fashion, how could I not post the wonderful Bowie cover 'Suffragette City'? I'd heard this on youtube a few days previously without knowing it were Juke and thought, 'damn good version of Bowie track!'. To then see it was Juke was a bonus. So here's my vid of only their second performance of this track. And some pictures. Have a look at some of the bands great original material from previous posts. Or from the links at the bottom of this post.
