Playlist – 7
I changed the title.
Calling my weekend musical interludes “podcast” was basically because I mused with the idea of a podcast but decided to just do a playlist instead. I can’t change the titles of my previous efforts as that would fuck up the system but what the hell.
I like Carly Simon. She has three rare [for these days] qualities: a great voice; a great range and importantly great diction. There are very few singers these days where I can make out what the hell they’re singing about.
Today’s track is a salute to summer holidays in Ireland, and particularly the weather we’re having at the moment.
Indeed, a damned fine singer, always reminds me of Carole King.
As for the strained and strangulated caterwauling that passes for “singing” these days.
Well it’s either that or various forms of pseudo rap. If there is a tenth circle of hell…..
