COMING SOON ON TVV.....

Next Sunday to be precise. One week today. The launch of a brand new series.

I reckon most of you get fed up with me wittering on day after day after day, so in order to give you some respite I've assembled a six-strong team of top-crack writers who will be responsible for crafting each of the pieces that will appear on Sunday mornings. The team will be known collectively as 'The Sunday Correspondents'. I know it's a boring title, but inspiration has been lacking in recent times.

The Super Six are:-

Jacques the Kipper
The Sense Collective
The Ghost Of Troubled Joe
John Greer
Cullen Skink
dick van dyke

They will take turns each week to have their say. The words they write and the songs they choose will be entirely of their own choice. Some of them will be well known to those of you who read the comments that are left behind on many postings, while others will be familiar through a guest appearance last May. Their tastes in music are not identical to mine, so that means you should experience something a bit different on the Sabbath instead of some nonsensical long-forgotten and banal piece of indie-pop from sometime over the past three decades.

Next week, John Greer - the only one brave or stupid enough to go by his own name - will kick things off. He tells me it will focus on someone not featured before on TVV, nor indeed on too many other blogs that are around, but someone who has played a highly significant and influential part in a lot of the music we've enjoyed over the years. Tune in and see for yourself.

In the meantime, I will sign off with some apt tunes:-

mp3 : Martin Stephenson & The Daintees - Sunday Halo *
mp3 : James - Sunday Morning **
mp3 : Joe Jackson - Sunday Papers ***

* featuring the vocal talents of the wonderful Cathal Coughlan
** fabulous b-side cover version
*** ripped from my white-vinyl copy of the 1979 LP Look Sharp

Happy Listening.

PS : Sunday papers always have long, detailed and analytical pieces on various subject matters. Some blogs are excellent at doing the same.
