Just listened to some of this on You Tube.
Has a Porn meets John Barry vibe to it! Not bad....not bad at all.
Anyways....

Corduroy, wonderful!
Use to really dig High Havoc and Out of Here from the early 90s, use to get plenty of air play in my car, absolutely the perfect band for a 1960s movie vibe. I remember one night walking into Telford's Warehouse in Chester and London, England was playing, and it was fucking cool as fuck.
Similarly, I can thoroughly recommend Sex Mob to one and all.

Jesus, Telfords Warehouse.
I've rolled into there a few times after the races I'll tell ya!
That was the watering hole slightly outside of the city walls if you digged Acid Jazz in the early 90s. Haven't been there for well over a decade and some more now. As it happens, when I found out that Terry Allen was playing there back in 2003 or 04, I had half a mind to fly back from my little tropical idyll for that gig, but my policy of all but essential air travel won the day. It always struck me as building you could make the ultimate bachelor pad out of, if you had the cash, lovely bricks in those walls.
Before Telford's, the other hip place was 60s, but I am going back to the late 80s now and perhaps, the first year of the 90s. That was the first place I heard James Taylor Quartet's version of Starsky & Hutch Theme.

Yes aside from a very few mad noise concoctions Sex Mob is great.
Naturally have a nice live bootleg as well.
They don't seem to be widely known at all.

Good stuff Formby. l like dark music.
Here is a goody. Metal legends CARCASS. This was the album that purists said that the band sold out because they became too mainstream and rock & roll, but l still love this record. True rock!!!

Johnny Burnette 'Honey Hush' CD. Excellent sound quality for the era. More to Johnny Burnette than just the 'Lonesome train' single. Will probably buy the cd now.
ALso Lucinda Williams who I had never heard of.
Today in the car from one of my fav bands:
Artiste: Japan
Album: Assemblage.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zvxBD_FUNH4
...cool as fuck....!
^A timeless album, perfect.
David Sylvian has gone hippy-weird these days, but he has a book of his Polaroids recently out which will be worth a look.

Big. Thumbs. Up.
Now this is simply incredible. A bloke plays two other people's trombones and two trumpets with his hands and feet. Comedy for the first four minutes, then it really starts up.

A superb live band, they can play anything written.

^Good stuff, been playing loads of Yellow Magic Orchestra this week, the kids love it too.
Currently on the turntable by George Shearing and The Montgomery Brothers Love Walked In!.
4F, have you heard Afrika Bambaataa Death Mix? It's a bootleg made from a tape of him DJing in the Bronx in, I think, 1979. He cuts up a YMO tune (it might be called Firecracker) to devastating effect.
No, I haven't. I will try and check that out. Thanks, Yuca.
