Due to my recent absence from work I had kind of lost the
muse lately and couldn’t really think of a subject that appealed to me and I
had nothing I felt that I really needed to get out of my system. Therefore I
had no rants about Christmas commerciality to publish or the new religion of
shopping to appease the gods of retail, no observations on the state of
politics today or maybe even an odd moan about the parking issues outside my
home, nothing, I had absolutely nothing to say.
So instead I thought keep it to music, it’s always all about
the music, now this can be difficult for me choosing a subject on music that
might interest others, something that might amuse or confuse anyone who is
actually looking at this blog. Therefore I started looking into my music
collection and thought about the sometimes ridiculous names groups and artists
often decide to call themselves whether they might make a one-off recording and
are therefore never heard of again or some that might have stuck around and
actually made career whilst keeping the original name they had decided upon.
Pancho Villa
Below is a relatively small list of artists I found scattered across my music folders. What a music chart they would create and I’m sure you would agree that these
would beat any current itunes download chart or any top twenty chart
rundown on a popular digital radio station (though you probaby wouldn't !).
The Dinks
There are four songs below but if you want to hear anymore from these wonderful names
