What are you listening to right now?
Yesterday I was cha-cha-ing all day to Honey Cone's One Monkey Don't Stop No Show, which is on the compilation Soul Train: 1972. I think I listened to it about 16 times on repeat, as I would have at age ten (which was how old I was when that song came out, incidentally). I highly recommend you run to iTunes and buy this for $1. Or just go get the Soul Train comp (I think they're on Rhino) for 1972. The 1973 one is also fab.
Heck maybe I'll play it again now...

You have to love Stewie on the banjo.
This morning you've got time for a hot, home-cooked breakfast! Delicious and piping hot in only 3 microwave minutes.

Beachwood Sparks - Make The Cowboy Robots Cry.
Sort of spacey country rock ala the Notorious Byrd Brothers. Love it.

with endurance like the liberty bell
and he tells you of the dreamers
but he's cracked up like the road
and he'd like to lift us up, but we're a very heavy load

I have just discovered Josef K, 70s/80s Edinburgh punk band on the same label as Orange Juice - sound like FranzFerdinand...and thanks to a pal, have everything they ever recorded and a few live CDs....brilliant! Check them out!
Beechwood Sparks are great...equally good are Blanche, their debut album If We Can't Trust The Doctors is smashing!
Also, little known Glasgow-band Sons and Daughters released their first LP proper, The Repulsion Box...sounds like Nick Cave singing Johnny Cash songs! Brilliant.

Nice to see you've discovered one of your native country's finest bands, Crow. I have their vinyl output, and the unreleased first stab at the first LP, which was weak. Sadly the second stab wasn't in the same league as the singles, it's a bir rushed and messy sounding, but it's still brilliant. Favourite song? Mine has to be Chance Meeting, but if you can tell me what the last line of it is, I take my hat off to you. I've yet to get the Young and Stupid (which I was happily recommending to MBA just days ago). I've read about the live CD that's available. Any good? I'm exepcting it to be pretty rough. Next up, though, is the Orange juice Glasgow School compilation. That's going to be very exciting.

Nick Lowes "The Convincer" - so very laid back compared to his earlier greats like Pure Pop for Now People, Labour of Lust, and the Rockpile album "Seconds of Pleasure". I'll admit to my initial disappointment, but the great craftmanship of this brilliant songwriter shows through, even though these are less ambitious songs than others that he has recorded.
This is, however, for me more of a formula album, and I wish he had stretched a bit more. Still, a very good record with lyrics that are as intriguing yet effortless, as Elvis, Graham Parker, and Dave Edmunds seem to demonstrate over and over again.

Joss Stone - Mind Body and Soul.
I enjoyed this a lot and I think she's got a fantastic voice for one so young. I got the album having watched her on Jonathan Ross last week. I loved her youthfulness. If James Brown says she's really good then that's good enough for me!
I'll ensure I see her at the V festival next month.
Has anybody got The Soul Sessions by her? Would they recommend it?
