soul
I was shocked when I heard that Billy Bragg liked Motown music. I was
young, but somehow it didn't seem fair that an angry young man with a
guitar, should like Motown. Looking back at Bragg's work, it is more
obvious that he has a wide taste in music. Don't get me wrong I don't
dislike Motown music, I do sort of like it. I wouldn't buy any Motown
music, but I wouldn't (metaphorically) smash a radio up if I heard it
played, as I would do with many tunes from boy bands.
I do like Amy Winehouse. I like her singing style, and I even
own her first CD. So I am finding soul. (Note that I said singing,
rather than talking). She is a bit gobby.
Another singer I like is Candie Payne from Liverpool. She has such a
sweet rich voice. She is a guest DJ on radio 6, so also has a cute
speaking voice. Candie Payne is playing Glasgow on May 16th
at King Tuts
I was going to end this scribble by saying that
Napalm Death are going to be playing in Glasgow
in the summer, so I will go to seem them to cleanse
this soul madness from my system. Still I like
what I like.
By the magic of Firefox tabs, I can play
Napalm death at the same time as Candie
Payne. Interesting.
