RE:Duffy,Wilco,Belle and Sebastian,etc.....

 Duffy's "Rockferry" is a trip into a true humanness,Memphis and all....that would be manchester and liverpool to the rest of you.....I am constantly beholden,besmitten to/with Dusty Springfield (on our knees in homage,folks...) whenever I say or think the words music and Memphis together (Dusty In Memphis is STILL my favourite record of all time.)

Wilco's "Sky Blue Sky" and all of Belle and Sebastian's work is where it's at .....

I listen to Everything But The Girl, Serge Gainsbourg,Salvatore Adamo,Bitter:Sweet,Brazilian Girls, Supreme Beings of Leisure,Camera Obscura....and,of course...I am very fond of Dimitri From Paris.....

I also think Emma Bunton's "Free Me" album is the best thing since a good Petula Clark record....
