HEALTH
If I can make one recommendation for a gig next week, it would be to see HEALTH at the Brudenel Social Club in Leeds on Tuesday 6th October. Die Slow is certainly one of my favourite tunes of 2009, and I’ve been led to believe they’re excellent live, so I shall be there on Tuesday as will Laura Rawlings.
Now, onto matters relating to tunes in last night’s show. Of course, I played Die Slow, as well as covers of songs originally by John Denver (Micah P. Hinson) and The Beatles (The Feelies). Here’s a full list of what I played:
Spiral Stairs – Stolen Pills
Anti-Pop Consortium – Capricorn One
Micah P Hinson – This Old Guitar
F*ck Buttons – Surf Solar
Cate Le Bon – Me Oh My
The Twilight Sad – The Room
The Feelies – Everybody’s Got Something To Hide Except For Me And My Monkey
HEALTH – Die Slow
Richard Hawley – As the dawn breaks
The Kindness – Swinging Party
APSE – Closure
The Death Set – Paranoia (Strike! compilation)
Hudson Mohawke – Fruit Touch
Lou Barlow – Goodnight Unknown
Choir Of Young Believers – Why must it always be this way
[addition at 17:30 on 1st October:Â I have to admit, I didn’t learn until today the sad news that Beau Velasco of The Death Set died a few days ago, and it wasn’t for that reason that I played a song by them in my show]
Hummmm, I might get myself down there, health was on singles club last night without your championing do you think it came out on top?
Not sure if HEALTH will have come out on top in the Singles Club; without my vote it could have been a close thing. I’ll have to keep my eye out for the podcast so I can find out if.
