Hobotalk!

This a fabulous live version of a song which is one of my all time favourites. A lovely thing to listen to when it is late in the night and the cold is starting to encroach at the edges. Hobotalk were a band I heard only a little about and I went straight out and got their album, Beauty In Madness from the local record shop next to the student union. I can't think how my life would have been without it.

Influences to the music Pt. 1

This is just a blog revealing some of my early musical influences.

Back in the day, my family home only had one CD player. In the living room. This meant much of my earlier musical influences was background muzac. Here are some of my favourites. Old Skool!









But this remains my all time favourite song, Jeezus but it still makes cry after a French martini:



If ever I filmed a music video I would burn an Austin Allegro with finger lightening in it too!

It wasn't until I got a PC in my room with a CD drive that I was able to expand my musical taste. I saw the album in the Virgin Mega-Store. Under C. At £15.99 it was expensive, but the cover, the weight of the jewel case just told me I would never be disappointed to own it.

It only turned out to be the best album ever made.

And. It. Blew. My. Mind.





The rest, as they say, is history. And they are right. But my musical history will continue in another blog soon.

Regards,
Greville.
