A lad recommended her to me last year, and while I instantly liked the album, I only gave it a couple of spins on Spotify at the time. I never realised she was a one-man band and all that jazz until I randomly put it on today. Will be watching out for upcoming shows fo sho.
She has a massive female following so you will observe great talent at her gigs.
The entire Neil Young catalog is now available on Amazon Streaming in high res audio.
Occidental viewpoint Japan-themed tunes
In early 2002 whatever travel programme RTE had at the time had a feature from Tokyo with Kathryn Thomas, presumably aimed at Eire supporters thinking of travelling to the 2002 World Cup
The following tunes were heavily featured in that, em, feature, playing as Kathryn walked around the seedier areas of Tokyo
So I’ve always associated them with Japan and what I imagine to be the Blade Runner-esque madness of Tokyo
They have to be listened to back to back because they’re essentially the same track
The Chemical Brothers
Song To The Siren
The Chemical Brothers
Three Little Birdies something something
No explanation needed for this classic
The Manic Street Preachers
Motorcycle Emptiness
On Graham Norton last night Unreal
Mutya is some lady
She’s fucking brilliant
One of my oul lads favourite tunes
“She’s a grand singer that girl” was his reaction when he watched this with me one Saturday morning, he loved this song and why wouldn’t you?
Massive Attack- Unfinished Sympathy
From a superb sounding and enjoyable album, just as good as their first imo. Recorded in a week in their cramped rehersal room after their produder Paul Rothchild walked out saying the songs were shit cocktail music. Morrison was a complete madman at that stage, only about six months before his death.
