Walter was quick off the mark with Lena Lovich and was seconded by Rigid Digit. I suspect that they were both after Lucky Numbers but I couldn't find a copy of that on the shelves or in my files so they and you will have to make do with Say When.
Ramone 666 and Rol both suggested Lazy Lester. Relax gents, he was always going to feature.
Rol does get one of his suggestions featured though as he rightly guessed that no-one was familiar with The Landspeed Loungers but had the good sense to forward me the track.
I'm finishing with one that none of you suggested -the wonderful Lydia Loveless.
So no Lyle Lovett, Loretta Lynn, Los Lobos or even Leapy Lea. Some other time maybe.
Next week it is MM .I can think of some good'uns . Can you?
Lena Lovich - Say When
Lazy Lester -I'm a Lover, Not a Fighter
The Landspeed Loungers - Paul
Lydia Loveless -Jesus Was a Wino
To continue this series with MM my first thoughts were Modest Mouse, Martha and the Muffins, Manfred Mann and of course Maria McKee
ReplyDeleteAnything produced by Mickie Most
ReplyDelete'Double Dutch' by Malcolm McLaren.
ReplyDeleteMichael McDonald and James Ingram - 'Yah Mo Be There'.
ReplyDeletegood god almighty NO!
DeleteThe Masked Marauders.
ReplyDeleteSaturday Snapshots 77 had Melba Moore as one of the answers so there's "This Is It"
ReplyDeleteMartha and the Muffins - "Women Around The World At Work", "Casualties of Glass" or "Swimming" - 3 fabulous tracks from "This Is the Ice Age" album.
ReplyDeleteMatt Monro - 'Born Free'. 'Near Wild Heaven' by REM, with lead vocals from Mike Mills.
ReplyDeleteMoney Mark.
ReplyDeleteMarky Mark (and the funky bunch).
Miriam Makebe.
Something from The Jimi Hendrix Experience, featuring Mitch Mitchell behind the kit.
ReplyDeleteMarilyn Monroe singing "Running Wild" in the film "Some Like It Hot".
ReplyDeleteOR - did she ever release a single of her singing "Happy Birthday" to JFK in THAT dress?!?!?!??!
A video single, obviously!
ReplyDeleteMaria Muldaur - Midnight At The Oasis.
ReplyDeleteThere's tons... Memphis Minnie and the Mississippi Moaner for blues, soul duo Maurice & Mac, Muluqèn Mèllèssè for Ethiopiques, HipHopper Method Man, garage rockers the Mono Men and the Music Machine, Matching Mole for Canterbury Scene, stoner rockers Monster Magnet, Moon Mullican and Michael Murphey for country and Scotland's pride Malcolm Middleton of course.
ReplyDeleteMichael Marra for the home team. Or 'Snooker Loopy' by The Matchroom Mob. That's all I've got.
ReplyDeleteMatching Mole! Brilliant Ramone666, I second that suggestion!
ReplyDeleteJust thought of UK postpunk funksters Medium Medium.
ReplyDeleteWhat, no Marilyn Manson?!
ReplyDeleteMelvin Moroson, Midnight Magic,Milton Marlin are my suggestions (so far)
ReplyDeleteOf the above I'd most like to hear Matching Mole, Maria Muldaur and Matt Monro but you would probably have expected that.
ReplyDeleteAlso could mention Mr Mister and Mouth & MacNeil. So many choices though for MM - You are spoilt as they say.
Anything by Metal Mike would be convenient for me or - of course - 'I Gave My Punk Jacket To Ricky' by Mary Monday & Her Bitches!
ReplyDeleteAlso we have 'Hungry, So Angry' by Medium Medium - a total classic! Should you want to choose Mighty Mighty instead, I recommend the Session Version of 'Gemini Smiles'!
Also, from Africa, there's Michel Moutouari, his 'Mon Ami & Ma Femme' is very good indeed.
Very tardy this week, but I'll have a quick look if there's anything in the library not mentioned above...
ReplyDeleteThe Magic Mushrooms - hippy, trippy psychedelia
Marc & The Mambas (Marc Almond, that is)
Marilyn McCoo
Mark Morrison (I can't believe I have The Return Of The Mack in my music library)
My Morning... Jacket
Mary McGregor
Meg Myers
Melba Montgomery
Mike and the... Moonpies (I drew the line at Mechanics)
Mindy McCready
Minutemen
Mrs. Mills
Oh, and can I throw in a shout out for Mmm Mmm Mmm Mmm by The Crash Test Dummies?
I have an album in my collection by Magic Mixture about whom I have absolutely no knowledge or recollection. I'm delighted to say though that for the first time in the double letter series (M is 13 and therefore half way through) I've come up with someone not mentioned by anybody else. Melina Mercouri, the husky voiced Greek actress/singer/left wing politician who starred in the film Never On Sunday and who so affected and frightened to death my jejune mid-teenager self!
