Selection Box 126 & 127

Selection Box in 2010 seems to have become an inordinately fractured affair.  Having been sidelined due to maleness a few weeks ago for International Women’s Day (solidarity, sisters), Selection Boxes 126 & 127 were separated by a an unscheduled hiatus due to spectacular bout of viciously violent vomiting and Olympic-standard diarrhoea.  Fear not, I will spare you the gruesome details, except to say that bizarrely this stems back nearly two years ago to a visit to Ireland when I accidentally poisoned myself on a daffodil, and somehow repeating this trick a few weeks ago despite best efforts to avoid the yellowy little buggers.  It takes a special type of idiot to poison yourself on a daffodil.  It takes a spectacular pillock to manage to repeat the trick.  Hello there.

If you want to murder me, now you know how to do it. But please dont - I have a child and a wife and a full biscuit tin.

Alex Chilton (1950-2010)

March 2010.  The month I will forever remember as the one when both Mark Linkous and Alex Chilton died.  I didn’t want to have to write about Mark Linkous dying a couple of weeks ago any more than I want to write about Alex Chilton dying now. However, on both occasions, it has been a pleasure to be able to just sit and write about what these people mean(t) to me.

When Big Joan Sets Up 25/3/10 – A Reading from The Book of M.E.S.

mes50

Mark E Smith

And for two years they did wander in the wilderness without any new Fall records until there came to pass a new single – and lo’ it was ace. And the children of Bradford came forth saying “Where hast thou been , O grumpy Mancunian bard of non sequiturs?” and he did say unto them “I’ve got milk on my elbow – ah!” – and they did understand that he was a genius and a bit bonkers as well.

And they saw that this was good and went off to beseech the almighty Domino Records to bestow upon them a copy of the new LP and they did so in a nice way because they did get loads of free records and they did not want to looketh a gift horse in the mouth. And as they went they sayeth unto themselves “That’s what happens when you get your biblical references off Wikipedia”

And there came forth a great howling and gnashing of teeth (from those who had teeth to gnash) and it sounded like this.

Eclectic Mainline 24th March 2010

Big Star

Big Star

My intention earlier today was to write ‘a few words’ about Alex Chilton as part of this blog entry for today’s show. But I have to acknowledge that it actually takes quite a while for Albert to write ‘a few words’ so that will have to wait for a day when I’ve got a bit of time, so for now, here is what I played tonight in my show, including 3 tunes by Big Star, one from each album, in memory of Alex Chilton.

And I can only assume that I must have done quite a bit of talking about Big Star in this show, as I didn’t get to play as many tunes as I sometimes do:

Black Rebel Motorcycle Club – Evol
Gonjasufi – Kobwebz
Lou Rhodes – One Good Thing
Big Star – The Ballad Of El Goodo (Alternate Lyrics)
Elliott Smith – Roman Candle
To Rococo Rot – Fridays (Shackleton’s West Green Rd remix)
Cate Le Bon – Shoeing The Bones
The Twilight Sad – The Room
Big Star – What’s Going Ahn
Jaga Jazzist – Prognissekongen
Pavement – Grounded
Peter Von Poehl – The Story Of The Impossible (BCB session)
Big Star – You Can’t Have Me
My Albatross – I don’t love you

The Blowin Weekly Extra – Sunshine

Eclectic Mainline 17th March 2010 – Midlake interview

Midlake - The Courage Of Others

Midlake - The Courage Of Others

For the very first time, my show has a podcast this week. If you heard the show you will have heard me talking to Eric Pulido of Midlake. What you will have heard is the abridged version of the interview, but the full thing is available for you here now, at the bottom of this blog entry.

Midlake have also backed John Grant on his debut solo album (he used to be the singer in The Czars). A funny thing happened the other day while I was listening to his album, Queen Of Denmark, for the first time. I was reading the brochure for the 16th Bradford International Film Festival while listening. Just as I was reading about Alien being on as part of Widescreen Weekend, John Grant was singing “I feel just like Sigourney Weaver, when she had to kill those aliens“. Spooksville..!
