Songs to sleep to #6: Dory Previn - Lady With The braid

Just looked out of the window, it is tipping it down in London and there looked like a time slip as 3 women walked down the road wearing the same colour mackintosh about 300 metres apart. Anyway, a good friend showed me this and for that I thank them. Also Camera Obscura wrote a song about her.

Song of the day: The Sick Anchors - Whole Again. Featuring some of Mogwai and the bearded gent Aidan Moffat on vocals, this has to be one of my favourite covers of all time. What’s that it’s a cover? Yep! The much missed Atomic Kitten to be precise. Might well post Aidan’s cover of 9 million bicycles soon, for real.

Song of the day: Bedhead - The Rest of the Day. Bedhead bedhead bedhead. Can’t believe it took me this long to post this song. Bedhead.

Song of the day: Pavement - Carrot Rope

Because a wise man once said to me:

“If you’re ever feeling slightly less than your best, spend the day whistling Carrot Rope”

Never has a truer word been spoken.

Song of the day: Do Make Say Think - A Tender History in Rust

The move has been made and it is sunny as anything. I now have a garden in the city and just need this lot doing this song in it for Monday perfection.

Songs to sleep to #5: Aphex Twin - Avril 14th

As if you didn’t know this! The musical equivalent of an evergreen, put it in your ears now.

Song of the day: Heavenly - C is the heavenly option

Early 90s pop from Heavenly, featuring Calvin Johnson from Beat Happening. Take the quiz.

Song of the day: Uilab - Fires

Brian Eno cover and the best 12” I own. 

Songs to sleep to#4: Smog - Say Valley Maker

Of course, have a listen then have a sleep.

Song of the day: Allo Darlin - My Heart is a Drummer

Yeah it’s sunny so this song is right up at the top end of the cheery spectrum. Is that a thing? Should be.
