Saturday Morning

My iPod, I fear, is starting to give up the ghost. Seems - and I may be imagining this, but I doubt it - that it starts out playing well, but after playing half an hour or so, starts to degrade. Like a warped LP, feeding through a radio station with bad reception. The nostalgic possibilities do not quite justify the annoyance.

Anyway, here goes, with the ritual Friday Top Ten, which as usual, appears on Saturday:

1. Spacemen 3 - Revolution (live) ***
2. Bob Dylan - Absolutely Sweet Marie
3. Butthole Surfers - Pepper ****
4. Pylon - Springtime
5. Motorhead - Bite the Bullet
6. Dr. Nerve - A Hammer in his Hand [Chicago meets - what? Albert Ayler? close enough. Got the groove part down, got the noise down too. Hell of a band.]
7. Beatles - Here, There and Everywhere (lack of stars more due to the pointlessness of distinguishing Beatles songs from one another...)
8. Franz Ferdinand - This Fire
9. Fripp & Eno - Tarazed
10. Pere Ubu - Electricity ****

As for YouTube - who else is going to link to Dr. Nerve videos?
