The G Spot 002 – repost

Friday, October 23rd, 2009

Welcome to The G Spot – Number TWO!

Well, a couple of people (yes, both my listeners) didn’t think we’d ever get here, but we have.

So we’re back with much more music. All of the podsafe music this time comes courtesy of that very splendid site IODA promonet – details are given for each track. I hope you find something you like.

Nothing Personal – Ana Popovic
Ripsnorting electric blues – great guitar playing.
And like the man said – never take a pop at your friends unless there’s no glass in your house, or something. Of course it isn’t 2010 yet, but the next time May comes around, it will be. I did set out to get to the Charlotte Street Blues club at the north end of Soho (where she’s playing next May, in 2010) but I’m afraid a sushi restaurant got in the way and I never made it.

Say No More – Enrico Crivellaro
I love this track soooo much. Thank you Peter Clitheroe over at SuffolkAndCool for introducing me to it. There is a trend to compress rock and pop tracks so that psychologically they sound louder. This is all very well except that you get to a point where everything is louder than everything else and nothing is quiet or loud it just IS. This is called CTF – Compressed To F***. And it’s really sad because it means that the quiet buits are as loud as the loud bits and there can be no light or shade in a piece, and that makes for fatigued ears.

Joanne Shaw Taylor
Time Has Come – Blackest Day – Bones. All from her album White Sugar. I’m not allowed to play these – so don’t tell anyone but get out there and BUY HER MUSIC – she’s a great artist. You can hear the strains of Joe Bonamassa in some of her playing. Great stuff.

It Ain’t Over When It’s Over – Kelly Hunt
Videos on Youtube – you know you want to – just go! And she has the Dalai Lama among her friends on MySpace – now that IS cool.
New Shade of BlueKelley Hunt
“It Ain’t Over When It’s Over” (mp3)

Cryin Blind – Samuel James
This guy sounds like he should be 80 but he’s young and he’s very very good. Old style acoustic blues done properly.
For Rosa, Maeve and NoreenSamuel James
“Cryin’ Blind” (mp3)
from “For Rosa, Maeve and Noreen”

What’s Wrong – Tenry Johns
The King Kong Rocker – find him at www.tenryjohns.com and on myspace - Nice suit…

Bad Seed – Kat Danser
Kat Danser plays a number of beautifully crafted songs on her album Somethin’ Familiar, and this is one of the slower ones. Find her at www.katdanser.com – she’s just brilliant.

I hope you find something you like here, let me know if you did.

See you next time!

The G Spot 002a

Tuesday, October 20th, 2009

Consumed with remorse that I had let you down by not making it all the way to Charlotte Street Blues I returned yesterday only to be met by a sign that said “Private Function – sorry for any inconvenience”. Inconvenience? I had walked two miles to get there, so I walked two miles straight back again.

And treated myself to a sushi for my pains…

I would love to have been able to tell you how great it was, but I’m not sure when I’m going to be in a position to get there again.

Sorry Folks!
