The Smashing Tunes Thread (Part 1)

Ah The Housemartins are quality. Norman went to shit after these.

Happy Hour is a smashing tune alright.

Me and the farmer is another.

‘Me and the farmer get on fine, through stormy weather and bottles of wine’

the boss plays with a busker in copenhagen…this is a smashing tune with smashing lyrics and I much prefer the acoustic version even if this particular effort is quite hairy in parts…:smiley:

To be honest there’s too much talking over most of it for it to be of any use. A few of the songs might be alright. If you really want some mp3’s I can send them on however - ie PM me an email address to send them to.

A band I’m getting quite into at the moment - The Brian Jonestown Massacre

Perhaps should be in the Guilty pleasures thread. Always liked this song by Chris Browns punchbag but heard an acoustic version of it in a shop the other day that was excellent. Dont think this is it but its not bad (edit this is the version I heard) I predict the Puke might be the only other fan of this

I dont know if you have seen the Darjeeling limited? but on the dvd there’s a 10 minute short movie as an intro to the main feature and this song is played throughout…Hadn’t heard it in years, forgot how good it was.

Great tune from the early 80s.

Very Kraftwerky

Visage - Fade to Grey
