An Offbeat Interlude


Can you believe it - the busiest day ever on the blog last Friday with double the daily hit rate and it's all down to Brenda Lee! Of all the tunes and tracks posted and popped on the blog it's Brenda's 'Walk A Mile In My Shoes' that got picked up by Hype Machine sending a stackload of extra traffic this way. Typically it's the Torero Brass Band and this Bardot picture that draws in the drifters and anonobods - so following on from the Brenda's (is anyone called Brenda anymore?) WAMIMS cover here's a Bob Andy's reggae flavoured rework and as bonus Billy Childish's moonstomping version of the Dads Army theme which you may have seen on some recent TV ads

Bob Andy - Walk A Mile In My Shoes



Wild Billy Childish And The Blackhands - Who Do You Think You Are Kidding Mr Hitler

Both of those were cool tunes. That's so neat that it was a Brenda Lee song that got you so much traffic. I wonder why that it though. Oh well. I sure wouldn't be complaining though. Congrats. Have a great week.

It's very odd Keith - I'm guessing it's people looking for Christmas tunes but having said that the ol' Toreros get searched for almost all year round...

The world needs more Childish - it's not as though there's a shortage of his material and it should be mandatory for every household to own a BC album or two, so bring back the Buffs.

Mondo said...

Or that lower league version of The Grumblweeds-a-likes you've got P

I should get more Billy Childish IV everything I've only get this track, but almost everything else I've heard sounds right up my street - Actually I may have a Buff Medway track somewhere....

Good old Billy Childish.... A hero!!! I live in his area - he's been a living legend since I was about 15 and used to watch the Pop Rivets and then the Milkshakes down the old Tam - now long since demolished sadly....

That's a moggy thou in the pic

Mondo said...

Further - here you go, the other Billy track I've got is on this mighty comp' - he must be a blistering live act..

So it is OP, does the mobile sound system come as standard or optional extra

Any chance you could give me a link to "Who Do You Think You Are Kidding Mr Hitler"? Been looking for it all night so I can record an ASDA advert spoof.

If you don't want to post it so anyone can view it, just mail me a link - m.ludford (at) knight47.com

Oh wait, doesn't matter. Embedded the source code, got the direct link of the player and clicked Link To MP3 - worked a treat :D
