Mother Goose – “Baked Beans” And “This Is The Life”

by Paul

Last night by chance I came across an old favourite from New Zealand in the Seventies: Mother Goose singing their slightly ludicrous “Baked Beans” – which just goes to show you can make a rock song outof anything! I had forgotten about Mother Goose, but they actually did pretty well for themselves, having coming up […]

Nils Lofgren – “No Mercy” And “Keith Don’t Go”

by Paul

I don’t know a lot from Nils Lofgren, just two songs really, “No Mercy” and “Keith Don’t Go”. Nils Lofgren, who has had a long solo career, also worked with Neil Young in the Seventies, as well as playing in Bruce Springsteen’s E Street Band for 25 years. But I didn’t know that until just […]

With Bryan Ferry and Roxy Music I’m never sure where to start, there’s so much, and I keep discovering more. I mainly know some of their songs from the late Seventies and early Eighties, but I’ve also taken some of their work from the early Seventies here. In the early years Brian Eno was in […]

Klaus Doldinger And Passport – “Uranus”, “Schirokko”, “Mandragora”, “Ataraxia” And The Theme From The Movie “Das Boot”

by Paul

And now for something completely different – Klaus Doldinger and Passport, a German jazz formation that has been compared with the US band Weather Report. I won’t claim to know the individual tracks, I only heard Doldinger’s music for the first time in 1983, and liked it. Here are some tracks I have found from […]

Gary Numan – “Cars”

by Paul

At the very end of the Seventies, late 1979, I remember Englishman Gary Numan singing “Cars”, from his album “The Pleasure Principle”. In fact, whenever I hear it or think of Gary Numan or “Cars”, it reminds me of being in not a car but a Transit van, at 4 o’clock in the morning. We […]
