My IPod has got over 23000 songs on it. So when I put it on random and it's playing away while I'm busy doing this or that sometimes I don't even notice what's on. And then bang..a song I've forgotten suddenly leaps out and gets you flicking back to the start because you don't want to miss the thing...cos you want to listen to it loud. Well tonight while I was preparing dinner this song came on and I rushed over and played it loud and then played it again. I think it's the guitar sound that pulls me in. It's one of those sounds where you go...how does he do that? And there are live videos on You Tube and you still can't work out how he's getting that sound. I want to put it on a disc and start driving somewhere..anywhere as long as this type of song is playing. Actually it also reminds me of my mate Poz and his band the Squad. I got Poz to sing with Little Murders a few weeks back doing some of the old number we don't do anymore in Little Murders. He sang them tough. We called ourselves The Undertakers. Loved it.
I'd never paid much attention to the Godfathers when they were big..well biggish! But I know they've played a few gigs in Melbourne. Not so long ago too if I remember. If they come back again I won't miss them. I've managed to get their music through the numerous blogs that abound on the net. Brilliant sources of obscure and long deleted music. The things I've found on the internet have been amazing. French pop! Swedish garage! Sixties tunes from Thailand...it's all there.
Godfathers had a certain style which was traceable back to some Mod origins I guess. They look like a bunch of ex-mods anyway. They dressed the same. Like a pack of East End gangsters. Fantastic stuff!
