I WON'T SAY NO....HOW COULD I?

During the recent series of guest postings, Stevie left behind this comment:-

The Painted Word. My God. I"d forgotten about them. I remember buying one of their 12 inch singles..a rather poppy, string-laden thing. Independence Day???? perhaps? Very pleasant. Languishing somewhere in an attic in Burnside I think. Speaking of Goodier, I still remember him playing OJ's Flesh of my Flesh 12" on Clyde and being completely thrown by its twists and turns and therefore annoyingly talking and laughing over it. Now where could I find that remix??

Sorry its taken a few weeks.....

mp3 : Orange Juice - Flesh of My Flesh (12 inch version)

I have to admit that I'm not that keen on this version....just a wee bit too gimmicky.

And about nine months back, I re-posted the five sings that made up Village Fire, a 1985 release on Factory Records by James. I got an email a while after I had removed the link from someone in asking if I'd put them back up again as 'It's impossible to find this EP anywhere else, so if you could please be so kind as to put it up again, it'll make my day.'

Depending on where you live, it's not totally impossible as long as you're prepared to shell out £15-£20 for a copy, but since I am a reasonably nice bloke:-

mp3 : James - What's The World

mp3 : James - Folk Lore

mp3 : James - Fire So Close

mp3 : James - If Things Were Perfect

mp3 : James - Hymn From A Village

I havent listened to these since I last posted them......I had forgotten just how utterly brilliant they all are. No wonder The Smiths paid homage via a live cover....
