SEVEN SONG CIRCLE #2

Not exactly a huge response to the first circle I posted last week. No big deal. I'm just posting 'em for the fun of it.

Most people don't comment when they drop by anyway, even if they do like the music. That's never bothered me much. I'm a pretty shy person by nature, too. It's rare I comment on any of the blogs I frequent.

Anyway, whether you like it or not, here's number two:

(files expired)

1 Tom Jones - "A Girl Like You"
2 Tom Jones - "I Bet You Look Good On the Dancefloor" (live)
3 Arctic Monkeys - "Diamonds Are Forever" (live)
4 Propellerheads with Miss Shirley Bassey - "History Repeating"
5 Pearl Jam with Neil and Tim Finn - "History Never Repeats" (live)

7 The Smithereens - "A Girl Like You" (Strip Club Version)

notes:
1 A Wolfgang Press cover from the out-of-print album The Lead and How To Swing It, which also features a fantastic Rise Robots Rise cover.
2 Arctic Monkeys cover recorded at the Princess Diana tribute concert. (buy)
3 Shirley Bassey cover recorded at Glastonbury in 2007.
4 From Decksandrumsnadrockandroll. (buy)
5 Split Ends cover (with 2 of them guesting) released on one of PJ's Ten Club singles. (join)
6 Mookie was Pearl Jam before they took their more famous name. A re-mastered version of this is on the new Ten. (buy) (buy w/DVD) (buy w/vinyl) This copy is from a much lower quality bootleg. (And, yes, I did pay the money for the official high quality re-issue - it's worth it.)
7 Originally issued as a b-side (then titled "A Girl Like You: Part Two"), and later on the now out-of-print compilation Attack of The Smithereens.

Hey, I actually fit in a bunch of rarer stuff this time around. Yeah me.

TOM JONES

Tom Jones has been around since. . . Hell, if you don't know who Tom Jones is, you should just be put down now.

Though best known for his many classic songs ("It's Not Unusual", "She's a Lady", "Delilah", "Thunderball", etc., etc.) he's never been one to shy away from trying something new. In recent years, that's found him covering many younger bands, both live and on his albums.

Here's a few things from his recent past you won't find on his discs:

Tom Jones - "Are You Gonna Go My Way" (Lenny Kravitz cover) If the guitar sounds familiar, that's because Lenny himself is playing it. Later re-recorded with Robbie Williams for the album Reload.
Tom Jones - "Unbelievable" (Live EMF cover) Taken from the "Burning Down the House" single.
Tom Jones with Ruby - "Kung Fu Fighting" (Carl Douglas cover) From the Police Story 3 soundtrack.
Tom Jones - "Come Together" (Live Beatles cover) Taken from the "Burning Down the House" single.
Tom Jones - "I Bet You Look Good On the Dance Floor" (Live Arctic Monkeys cover) From the TV broadcast of the Concert for Diana. Aerosmith's Joe Perry on guitar.


I would give you a discography, but the guy's been around for forty plus years, and I don't have that much space.
