Wasted+Tell Me Lies+Keep the Dogs Away-Thor

More than a touch of Glam with this excellent stuff from Canadian Heavy Metal act 'Thor'. Now you can't go far wrong if you're a body builder named after the norse God of thunder, and I suppose it's only natural that Thor would perform Heavy Metal, though this is perhaps more like a cross Between Lou Reed and Iggy Pop, particularly on 'Wasted', which is no bad thing thing in my book...and what's more Thor-The rock Warrior is still at it over in Canada book him now to avoid disappointment!
Check the 'storming' video below for full impact...and also his truly amazing 'Metal Bending' +'Hot Water Bottle trick' to be found on youtube, a true entertainer!

Are You Being Served Sir?-John Inman

'...little good around the house and no good with an iron'

Three superb tracks from the late great John Inman...the most famous 'Are You Being Served Sir', alongside 'Sun Sign's' and 'Captain Ginger'...all from the first LP, which I prefer...though the 'brass' cover is great...
It's innuendo-a-go-go here so if that's not your cuppa char then you'll have to move on...if it is then sit back and enjoy a great voice, lyrics and songs...now then, what possibly rhymes with Uranus?

Half Man Half Biscuit.

'Trouble is these days you never see a dog on the pitch'

...dunno after watching the England-Germany debacle...certainly no lions on that pitch...anyhow, thought I'd post some football related Half Man Half Biscuit song form their rather marvelous oeuvre, so deep breadth, here we go with '1966 And All That', 'I Was Teenage Armchair Honved Fan', 'Even Men With Steel Hearts', 'Friday Night And The Gates Are Low', 'Dead Men Don't Need Season Tickets' and 'The Referee's Alphabet'.
There are yet more HMHB footy songs, but thats enough for now!

Make Me An Island-The England World Cup Squad 1970

Perhaps my favourite track from the infamous 1970 World Cup Squad album (most famous for 'Back Home) is this, 'Make Me An Island'...quite beautiful with great singing/accents...reminds of a Half Man Half Biscuit track, though can't quite remember which one...perhaps I'm mistaken?
