They deviled my kidneys, stomach and lungs

It's been busy times here in Densville. I've been teaching the kids the meaning of the word 'Gak' and learning that 'Blates' is a term that exists in Y2k Sheff; and the bastards crawled out of the woodwork again whilst I indulged myself with double bills of pop films and re-reads. In addition there is a welcome time-machine return to a previously recorded on my VHS Blues Explosion clip from '94, the British Heart recommended Tom Waits track, some burlesk from NYC and a nice little Beatles lullaby for Beej. Enjoy.

A first outing for Julie Atlas Muz at Densville. If there is such a thing as a beautiful women inside an oversized inflatable balloon having poise, class and style this gal has it in spades. Hot dawg! this gal sure can hot foot with the best of them; the fact that she's topless throughout appears to be so matter of fact that it recalls the Crazy Horse/ Moulin Rouge French stuff that I've seen. I love this gal she's clearly in the driving seat. Take it away Julie...

Julie Atlas Muz- Balloon

Fantastic rock 'n' roll without a bass many years before the White Stripes. I remember watching this when it was on back in '94 and saw a theramin for the first time! For the Spencer virgins check out 'Bellbottoms' for more kicks.

Jon Spencer Blues Explosion- Afro!

This one had been lurkin' on the shelf for a few years since Mark snatched this one up for me. Fast- forward to May '10 and British Heart doing his Prime Minister's mouse and we get this! Tom seems to be working the Phil Mitchell dough face look in this one but don't let it put you off! Cheers Crispy!

Tom Waits- God's away on business

Finally another track that takes me back to '94 and endless plays of 'the white album'. Schmaltz central but the best thing Ringo put down with the Beatles. Which filled my double- bill of pop flicks the other night with a welcome viewing of Robert Zemeckis' 'I wanna hold your hand'. It doesn't appear to be available on DVD in the UK but I'm sure you can track it down...Which I would advise for the fans of schadenfreude with Kiss meets the phantom of the park. It's a hoot! The evil 'evil' Kiss are great!!!

The Beatles- Good night

The Monkey's briefcase

So the days are spent in darkness in deepest, darkest Sheffield bobbing around to the lousy day gig and back to the crib. I learnt my fave phrase this week from WW2- SNAFU...it's an acronym folks that you should drop into your day to day convo. I'm clearly backing the packages this week on the blog with Etta, Bobbie & Dana along with the man mountain that is Nick Apollo (Forte) and a welcome return for Woody Allen. Keep those cab doors tuned in for more Den time over the coming weeks. It's where it's at...

First up with an unheard version of Get ready is Ella Fitzgerald. This is much better than I thought it would be. Yup she's hitching her waggon to the tunes of the day (albeit 3/4 years late) but she turns in a decent version that's worth getting the magnifying glass out for.

Ella Fitzgerald- Get ready

Another one on the never ending list of wants for D.I. I know nothin' about this gal other than she turns in a decent version of the Simon and Halfuncle track which I blogged a few months back. Again another one of the pop tunes spun at Wigan. Methinks that some of those Northern fans wanna lighten up and smell the roast...Nice snap of Dana with Sandie and Marianne, who is looking a little pregnant on this one...Maybe it's just the posture...

Dana Valery- You don't know where your interest lies

Bobbie Gentry- Morning glory

A welcome return for Bobbie...Back in the day 'Morning glory' meant more than being the title of being Oasis' second LP. There's another half- decent version of this lurking on an LP she did with Glen Campbell which I previously advised to avoid like the plague. I think this clip demonstrates that she can certainly manage well enough on her own without him and I did the right thing sending that one to the chazza. I love the way Bobbie plays guitar is if she can't be arsed...it's the Gibbons suitcase...!

So I had a rare night in on my Jack Jones and headed to the Woody Allen cupboard. A double bill of Whatever Works (not so good on the second view) and Broadway Danny Rose (gets better every time). This one is all about what happens when you eata too much...Take it away Lou!

Lou Canova- Agita!
