Two months ago McCartney released a different version of "Letting Go" from 1975 and... I love the song now. This must have been an early mix. The final mix that made it onto the "Venus and Mars" album had horns and a loud production with Macca at full voice. This version is unproduced and Macca sounds vulnerable and real.
UT's High-Falutin' Deeper Analysis Section: I really like the organ chord that makes the transition to the second line. It goes: Am Ah, she tastes like wine Dsus4 . . . . . . . . . D Such a human being so divine This Dsus4 chord is the kind of thing that Paul is a master of. The ordinary songwriter just goes "D!", and in fact, fuckin' Heart just goes D in their cover of the song for The Art of McCartney. Paul always asks whether a more complicated chord will result in something more subtle and interesting. Why, it took people getting access to the master tapes to decode the opening chord of "Hard Day's Night"... Also, at 2:58 he changes key up three half steps, from Am to Cm. And while other similar up-modulations seem like hokey songwriting tricks, I really dig this one. |

I got a very BeeGees vibe from the beginning of "Letting Go". I'd never heard that song.

That was actually really cool. This reaction from someone who actually hates, yes hates electronica.

Holy crap! Angry electronica punk from middle age dudes? That is original and refreshing.

Did you listen to the earlier ones I posted? Jobseeker is one of my favourites. I love his performance.
http://cellar.org/showpost.php?p=916098&postcount=1757 They're on at the Trades Club, in Hebden Bridge in March. My bro is going - I might go along too. This is just them on a sofa - the singer fascinates me. cultural note: Tiswas was a popular and anarchic Saturday show for kids in the early 80s - OTT was an adult version, with the same people, shown late night. Spit the Dog the was a character from Tiswas Short and angry, but funny.

3ft posted a Richard Thompson vid in Grav's thread. Which reminded me how much I used to love his stuff (Thompson's ... not Grav's ... though i am sure Grav's stuff is lovely ;P)
* note: before anybody quite rightly tries to shoo me off back to my thesis, i am taking a 15 minute break :P

This is now in rotation. The Morrissey version sucks. He doesn't get the song at all.
