On my commute this morning, a randomly-ordered assortment from one of Sir Miles's favorites. I've been mumbling the refrain from the last track to myself all day since:
We are the angry mob
We read the papers everyday
We like who we like, we hate who we hate
But we're also easily swayed

Good song...and it's nice to see someone with taste for a change...
That's a good one, too. Actually, my oldest daughter is hooked on the straightforward "When The Heat Dies Down".
Last night's commute...another random assortment of things my kids have gotten me to download:
-- Kill Hannah - "Lips Like Morphine"
-- Saving Jane - "Girl Next Door"
-- The Mother Hips - "Time We Had"
-- System of a Down - "B.Y.O.B" (clearly I abdicated parental responsibility in letting that one get through!)
This morning...a mix of the absolutely sublime Norah Jones.
Well, it turns out the usual version on the radio and wheeled out for compilations, is the album track. It's not the same as the one released as a single in the UK, which was sped up a bit for the radio and imo is a fair bit jauntier and more uplifting. The other version is a classic sure, but just a bit too world weary and dragging its heels.
If you're a 30something, this version (found only on the soundtrack album Good Will Hunting as I understand) is the one you first got into. {[]

Love Baker Street...never saw Good Will Hunting, so I haven't heard that particular version, but I'm a big fan of the classic, world-weary, heel-dragging version B-)

This is the single version, you can tell it's a bit fast for Rafferty to mime to. BTW sad that apparently Rafferty has been missing since August last year after he checked out of hospital. Also dispiriting that the sax player never got paid for thinking up his memorable piece.... oh dear, sometimes it pays not to research stuff on the net.
On a similar note (!), Lennon always complained about the stereo rehash of Paperback Writer, which is the one shoved on compilation albums. Here's the original mono to compare:

That's actually the version I'm familiar with! I'm going to have to pull out my ancient vinyl...

Without uploading it on YouTube, I'm not sure how I could share the video clip in question... Anyway, it's Pull Up To The Bumper, the last song I heard last night when I was dancing with Grace Jones on the stage of the Clyde Auditorium in Glasgow (as part of a wider stage invasion, but still, we bumped hips ).
Barking mad, hilariously funny, scary-canary Grace. She knows how to party

No no no no no, Moonie -- you cannot drop this bombshell and then simply disappear. I demand full details -- and quickly! -{

Grace is currently touring the UK promoting the (brilliant) Hurricane album. I was lucky enough to be near the front, and, much to the security's horror, she shouted "Get on up here!" Not wanting to disobey such a scary lady, we didn't have to be told twice. After clambering up onto the stage, I stood up to find myself face to face with her, she bumped hips a couple of times and shimmied in with the rest of the crowd. A bit shaky, this, but it gives the general idea. Yes, I can be seen up there, and no, I'm not the dancing idiot in the checked shirt at 4.20 (And I'm not a baldy either! ) )
Other highlights included hula hooping for the entire duration of Slave To The Rhythm, then (still to the beat) introducing her band and her roadies. She's 60, I couldn't do that when I was 18 never mind now! And the opener, Nightclubbing, where she was on a industrial raised platform, those ones you get in building sites, looking terrifying with a miners hat on. A large industrial fan was also deployed at several points, and for Love Is The Drug a single green laser beam was trained on her sequened bowler hat from above, giving an absolutely jaw dropping 3D laser show.

However this track, which first came out 4 years ago, has now made a comeback.
Ironic that it fits.

Here's my favourite track...an obscure choice probably...but that's me all over

I didn't. I haven't seen that programme at all...I'm told it's very funny though.

I prefer this one from that album though...Love's Not A Competition (But I'm Winning)

This one's by John...You've Got To Hide Your Love Away
Here is three of their best...all from different stages in their career...

Dear Prudence - a real dirty, sleazy bassline on this !
I Got A Feeling
Great lyrics...great tunes...and they could play too
numb
Ryan Adams wonderwall
...they are called Cage The Elephant...and this song is called Ain't No Rest For The Wicked.
But what's new about that, NP? I hear you ask.

Of course, Sgt Pepper was mixed in mono over months, the stereo version on one afternoon.
