What's Playing at S4L This Weekend?


For the weekend I thought I'd share a ten tracks from Albums/EP's that that are currently getting spun at home and as usual it's a very wide mix of musical styles.
1
Kicking it off is a fantastic live cover performance of TV Smith's 'The Lion and The Lamb' by Meg 'n' Jez. It's on their debut album 'Follow It Down' and is well worth checking out. The album will be out at the end of the month.
 

2
Jonah 33 is next with 'Blood is Thicker' from their new 'Dead Men Walking EP'.


3
The Shangri-Las - 'Give Him a Great Big Kiss' is part of a collection called 'Sophisticated Boom Boom! The Shadow Morton Story' put out last year by Ace Records.


4
'Walk On By' - The Stranglers. From the 11CD 'Giants and Gems 40th Anniversary Collection'. Absolutely loaded with great music stretching across the decades. 'Walk On By' was first released by the band as a free single with early copies of their third album 'Black and White' in 1978.

5
The Mad Caddies - 'Shoot Out The Lights' from their latest album 'Dirty Rice'.

6
'High Hopes' by Bruce Springsteen and The E Street Band. The live in New Orleans 2014 Bootleg will be getting a blast out as well this weekend.

7
'Radio Free Europe' - R.E.M. is part of the 50 track 'Complete Rarities: I.R.S. 1982-87' album.

8
R.E.M. - Pop Song 89 (Acoustic) is part of a massive 131 track collection called 'Complete Rarities: Warner Bros. 1988-2011'.

9
'Reckless Forgiver' - Jars of Clay. This is their latest single and is taken from their excellent 'Inland' album that was released last year. The video below is a live version film at their studio Gray Matters in Nashville.

10
Lastly, but by no means least, an old favourite from the vaults 'MTV Unplugged' - 10,000 Maniacs.

Tidy Tune #143: D.I.Y. - Paul Heaton and Jacqui Abbott

Paul Heaton and Jacqui Abbott - What Have We Become Deluxe Edition (19th May 2014)


Click on the links to enjoy the music.

The first single from the album is 'D.I.Y.

The video is directed by Johnny Vegas.


For the first time in more than a decade Paul Heaton and Jacqui Abbott are back singing with each other again on record. The last time was of course back in the days of The Beautiful South. Jacqui was a part of the group for four albums - 'Miaow' (1994), 'Blue is the Colour' (1996), 'Quench' (1998) and 'Painting It Red' (2000).


Jacqui is best remembered for her performances on some of the excellent singles by The Beautiful South -

BBC Breakfast Interview with Paul and Jacqui.


Ever since the band split up after 19 years of playing due to "musical similarities" Paul Heaton has been a solo artist releasing a couple of albums but whilst they were good they lacked a certain something, or someone even!

Interview and performance of 'D.I.Y.' Live on The One Show.

So it's absolutely fantastic that they are back together again making music and you'd never think they had been apart. 'What Have We Become (Deluxe Edition)' is a great collection of 16 tracks full of Heaton's great wit and blended with Abbott's beautiful tone produces one of the great pop albums of 2014. I do hope that they get some success with this. It's great to see and hear them together again.

On working with Abbott once again, Heaton said: "Working with Jacqui again was like going into your garage and discovering a beautiful, covered up Rolls Royce that hadn't been started in years. Jacqui is one of the best singers I've worked with and is also part of my past. It was only a matter of time before I asked her."

 The Plug, Sheffield 14th December 2013

There's quite a few other live performance videos on You Tube worth checking out as well.

Every Song Played on the High Hopes Tour 2014



 Most bands when they go out on tour usually go with a pretty stable set list of say 20-25 songs (some bands have less than that) and each Country, City and Town they play in the set list remains fairly stagnet for the whole tour. But Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band are not like most bands...

Here is a record of their recent High Hopes Tour. Over 34 shows compassing South Africa, Australia, New Zealand and the USA they performed 181 different songs! 181!!

Here they all are just click on the links to enjoy the music. I have tried to find versions performed on the tour, where there is no link it simply means there is not a video/audio available of it from this tour.
