Visions of Johanna

My favourite Dylan song, I reckon,



Enjoy!

Uh Huh Oh Yeah

From Paul Weller's first solo album, his first solo single (I think - there was something out as the Weller Movement or something) is great. A slinky groove, I reckon, but I always feel that it has been ignored or forgotten and replaced in people's minds by the clearly inferior work he did on Wild Wood, Stanley Road, and whatever crap he's now churning out. Paul Weller's great songs can be counted on one hand: Changingman, Sunflower and Uh Huh Oh Yeah... frig... I got Wild Wood out of the library many years ago believing it was going to be great and it wasn't. It was very dull. But let's take nothing aware from the guy - the Jam were great, the Style Council had some cracking tunes as well, and Uh Huh Oh Yeah is terrific. It's a simple song based around a repetitive chord pattern. They hardly stray from the same three or four chords throughout.
Enjoy!

The Mook Radio

Found a groovy little thing from radio.blog. Look at the sidebar and you should see a little radio player. Not the greatest quality sounds, but I should be able to build a cool little playlist to allow you to sample some of the delights that I will talk about here.

The Saunters inc. - It's Just For You To Stay

What's this? Norwegian 60s style pop music. Nice harmonies, but obviously European - you can tell from the slight inflections of their voices. I can hear the influence of the Who in this band. What do I know about them? They seem to hail from Trondheim and formed sometime in 1963. This song has sweet but not forced harmonies and a nice twangy riff from any of the guys who played guitar: Øystein Mihle (also the vocalist), Torstein Fredriksen or Jan Arvid Nilsen. I think... do not trust me on this. Anyway, the track is a nice slice of European rock clearly influenced by the British invasion gang. Did we "invade" Norway?
Anyway... enjoy...

What is Radio Mook?

The aim of this is to look at my vast and pointless record collection and listen to various tracks and review them here. Samples will be available via mp3 but not whole albums (sorry!) and if you dig the grooves go out and buy it yourself, baby!
