Here’s a track we found by pure chance last night while putting together a shortwave mix. It’s from Mice Parade (who sadly we’ve never heard of before but will now research) with a track called Warm Hand in Farmland and it’s the Stereolab remix from a couple of years back. It’s one crazy track, part brass, part acoustic, part hip-hop and part mad and over 5 minutes long but it don’t seem it.
We may be imagining it, but is the piano sampled from the start of The Persuaders theme tune by John Barry used in the latter part of the tune? We’re sure of it.
And if our memory isn’t playing tricks on us The June Brides used The Persuaders theme as walk on music once when they supported the great McCarthy (which featured one Tim Gane oddly enough). Coincidence or a tenuous link to play McCarthy’s brilliant Frans Hals tune again? Who knows.
And we’re loving the poppies that are either self-sown or are as a result of our “chuck the seed anywhere” favourite method of seed sowing technique. #poppiesduringlockdown
Keep em peeled for the cooler weather later this week and for a bit of well needed rain just as we hear there may be a hosepipe ban in force soon. And thanks to that damn lockdown the side bed has never been so tidy! #gardeningthroughlockdown
