MY HEY HEY HEY
I know that this blog is all about "The Sound of Young Scotland" past and present. But for once I wanted to draw TVVs gentle readers' attention to the activities of some young colonials - Flagrant Fowl.
Pocketknife and Cousin Cole - for it is they who form the aforesaid group - are two residents of New York City who do most pleasing remixes. These are not the usual "bangers" that get the young people "totally psyched", as I believe the more inarticulate denizens of that country are liable to say. Rather they are sympathetic remixes of a more diverse range of people than is usual - Joanna Newsom, John Lennon, Nick Drake and Bruce Springsteen. And the Neil Young remix is a particular triumph turning a grumpy old gentleman into a empathetic troubador.
mp3 : Neil Young - My Hey Hey Hey (Cousin Cole's Into The Blue Mix)
Their album can be ordered via myspace (links below). I can recommend it as a worthwhile investment, even if the outflow of funds to the colonies will do nothing for the UK's balance of payments.

In fact myself and old mucker Jacques the Kipper are off to se him in Edinburgh next month.
This remix gets a huge thumbs-up from me.
Thanks for bringing these guys to my attention, great remix. The mix of I'm On Fire on the Cousin Cole myspace site is great as well.
Cheers,
Drew.
