Started off the day by listening to the Greatest Song Ever, no questions broked, ‘Oh Happy Day’ by the Edwin Hawkins Singers (Nick Cave knows it: ‘Deanna’ is taken straight from the source)…a song that never fails to leave me tingling and shivering and tears prickling my eyes, pure inspiration.

Then, on the way back from the nursery (beautiful sunny day, as ever mourn all the sheep bleating along in the long line of motorik hum clogging up Dyke Rd), a Wedding Present song came onto my iPod - thought I’d listen to it, why not, I’m rather fond of Gedge, get more fond of him the older I become actually, song called ‘Shivers’ from their reccent album Search For Paradise, well knock me down and call me ragged but the song is gorgeous, beautiful, swamped in sumptious analogue keyboards, beautiful old organ sound, the kind of organs Steve Fisk cherishes and collects, exactly like his organs actually…hey, wait a minute, didn’t Steve produce the last Wedding Present album - these are his keyboards! Whoa.

And then straight into The Legend! (’I'm Not Like That’) and a wonderful Camera Obscura song (’If Looks Could Kill’) that I stood on the doorstep and listened to until those thunderous drums had faded into the distance.

Nice.
