A sweet circular logic here, the late-great master Alex Chilton covering Teenage Fanclub's "Alcoholiday." (Alex Chilton/Big Star being their heroes, and this is one of the great Alex Chilton songs that Alex Chilton never wrote.) Pretty much a faithful straight-ahead version of the original. Not sure of the source, sounds live, but excellent audio quality.<br />
<br />
Stranger is the Fannies own radically different rockin' version of the same song, recorded for the Peel Sessions.<br />

Fabulous. But sadly, the great first verse:<br />
<br />

<br />
The lyric has been changed to "used," probably for benefit of not offending the Beeb audience.<br />
<br />
A surprising improvement on the original, however, the Peel Sessions version Blake changes that 2nd verse to an all-new:<br />

The timeless original, from Bandwagonesque, for anybody so inclined...<br />

Surely his high point was getting the mention from Bruce at the start of Santa Claus Is Coming To Town? -

Some mellow blue-eyed soul. I saw this girl busking years ago when she was a teenager. Beautiful sultry voice. I'm hearing My Bloody Valentine and Sonic Youth (minus the cyclone, feedback, and buried vocals, but oh, it's there.). There's an official video version, but sadly it's a single edit cut to artsy dance grant video; and there's a cool raw handheld video of the threesome performing the song live under a bridge to nobody in particular (a puzzled kid shows up); but being (ahem) a purist, I'll go with this (unofficial) version that a fanbot posted 'cos it's the original-length album version.<br />

Nice bit of jazz clarinet for 1/2 the song, then cool singer for the rest. Class -
So as is tradition in the MN5 household a mate of mine pops round for a fry up. Sangas, bacon, hash browns, beans. THe whole works. Anyway hes busy cooking as I come downstairs, he's having issues<br />
<br />
"Fark dude you're smoking the place out !" I say. Naturally once it clears I find myself drawn to this smooth tune on youtube and we pump it up and act as Gangster as a couple of white boys can.....<br />

Strangely I was never a huge fan of Gza even though he was probably the cleanest on the mic of all the clan. <br />
<br />
I was a Ghostface and Meth fan. Raekwon and ODB to a lesser extent. Always thought Rza was good with words but his flow is not my thing, trying to fit too many words in.<br />
<br />
Inspectah Deck was average. And then the part timers, in their thousands, were often crap. <br />
<br />
Should be awesome though.
