On a Wednesday?



I like Snooks Eaglin, his gentle voice, his sweet guitaring, and his name. (How bout Snooks, Blimpy?)



This is funny...



This is the start of my new series On a Wednesday? When I post random tidbits you'd never expect to find ... on a Wednesday.

  1. This week's theme - being early?

  2. I think he saw your procrastination post, Tin. And misunderstood it...

  5. Ok, so he has taken the list down again (someone in the mighty Grauniad empire needs some kind of tutorial re: how to put things up in the web for public viewing... or not!)

    Does anybody remember which songs were in the list?

    And, while we're at it? Did the list include this week's topic, too?

  6. Can't remember all of them, lambi, but I seem to recall one of your Linda Thompson noms making it (the only that includes the word 'beauty' in the title).

  7. And no, no mention of this week's topic - I promise! *bish furiously starts compiling covert list*

  8. Chet Baker - My Funny Valentine
    Thelonius Monk - Ugly Beauty

    Also saw Bjork and Alison Moyet I think.

  9. Oh, ok... Thanks Bish and Mnemonic. (Gazing over Bish's shoulder to catch a glimpse of his candidates, while furiously scribbling on a paper)

    Ho hum!

  10. There was also a Mary J Blige/Black Star one of steen's. And Costello's "All this useless beauty", I think. Having said that, perhaps PaulMac is furiously rewriting the list as we speak!

  11. I don't think so, bish. The cat's out of the bag now. There was a leak a couple of months ago also, and he took it on the chin, no biggie. And it's not really important to us as posters either; the main issue (if any) is having a friday's newspaper column available for reading on Wednesday on the blog...

  12. Bjork - Venus as a boy
    Chet Baker - My Funny Valentine
