evening Bob, thought this would be one that you liked, I heard it a while ago when they were live with Marc Riley on 6music earlier this year.

I too bought the cd after putting the track on here, I've yet to listen to the cd, when they were live they did Harum Scarum and Hide and Seek, both are brilliant.

Music has taken a whole new dimension in the last few years, seem to think it started with Joanna Newsom, though many years ago Laurie Anderson was way ahead of any-one else.

Have you ever heard any of what they call 'anti-folk', some good ones in that genre, Kimya Dawson and Moldy Peaches spring to mind.

My favourite track at the moment is Curly Teeth by Micachu and the Shapes, which is on here, I put it on a while back.

My eldest son, he's 39 and likes much of what I do, though he can't stand Joanna Newsom, has suggested we both compile our 'top 30' then we're having a weekend at his, playing 5 of mine then 5 of his over some drinks, it'll last all weekend, the music that is, will be a brilliant couple of days.

Marc Riley is good for these new groups, he's on BBC 6 Music on digital radio, Monday -Thursday 7pm-9pm.
