Edmund Welles - Is She Weird
This is just too good.

Edmund Welles is not a person. It is the name of a bass clarinet quartet. I have always been of the opinion that one bass clarinet sounds great, and with the discovery of the Welleses, I am happy to confirm that four of them sound even better. While they mostly play original music, it is not unknown for them to cover the classics. Here is one such classic: a live rendition of the Pixies' Is She Weird, recorded live at a record shop in Oakland, CA. Like simulated buggery at a political rally, the scant and polite applause that follows this track is entirely inappropriate. You will love this with every fibre of your being, or I will be forced to visit you with punches.

On an unrelated note, if anyone is going to be in Coventry city centre on Saturday, please do come along to the motor festival activities in Millennium Place. [info]beaupepys is going to be stuck on a stall there all day, and would welcome a bit of company, especially if it will keep the scary vintage car nutters away.

I must point this out to Dave - he's got a bit of a thing for bass clarinet... Also, I will look out for [info]beaupepys - what time will she be there? I will be around for a while but I think we have plans to go to the rugby. And then I have to go home and clear some room for the 2 (more) carfuls of crap that I want to bring back from my mother's house - she's moving on Wednesday!!!!

I'll probably be there from 10 til 5 - will have the mobile on me so drop me a text if you don't see me out front?

...Vintage vehicle people scare me. I got in trouble yesterday for calling them obsessives when the correct term is apparently enthusiasts.

Apparently, all of the weekend events are all being cancelled because of the weather forecast. Which sucks.

oooo I think I'm in love. John Gilmore of Sun Ra's Arkestra is responsible for my affection for the bass clarinet. I've begged the wife to get one for years, even as her Bb gathers dust.
I've already grabbed the 3 tracks available on their web page and a yummy Black Sabbath cover.

Tonight I'll get out the credit card and go all completist.
