Neville Brothers - Yellow Moon

A wonderful Jacques Brel song about egoistical fantasy and false modesty, which should be compulsory listening for wannabe comedy writers and stand-ups... ;)

Jackie - Scott Walker

Because of this I've been listening to Jacques Brel for the the last half hour. Didn't know he wrote 'In the Port of Amsterdam' I'm somewhat ashamed to admit. A brilliant performer, and though many of his songs have been translated, the translations are often a but, well, rapy really. Scott Walker's 'Jacky' and most versions of 'In the Port of Amsterdam' being notable exceptions.

Mathilda's great too. Although it still shocks me that he wants to beat her black and blue.

I imagine Chipolata to be a very serious music fan. You know, the type that wears roll neck sweaters.

Save for a few exceptions, I don't usually like stuff around my neck, Ben.

You're a man of mystery, Chip! Sheer mystery!

Really bad folk music on one of our local channels.

Andy has on his EIGHTIES PLAYLIST. Sigh.
