Last week I put out a request for suggestions for new series' here on CCM.
I got a few which I am grateful for and most will be followed up. One from George was for Insects/Creepy Crawlies. This got my thinking about Spiders and Flies and for the two or three weeks I will share a couple of each.
I think I will start with those which reference both the spider and the fly .I think I've found three.
Let's start with Mercury Rev with Spiders & Flies from their 2001 album All is Dream which I played last week for the first time in ages and thoroughly enjoyed.
Buffalo Tom follow with The Spider and The Fly from their album Besides.
Last but by no means least we have mid 60's Colorado psychedelic garage rock band The Monocles with Spider and the Fly.
More spiders and/or flies next week
That song by The Monocles is preposterously over the top. A keeper!
ReplyDeleteHoping Boris appears next time. The spider, not the political pillock.
ReplyDeleteBirds first, then spiders and creepy crawlies? My favourite creatures. Monsieur, with these you're really spoiling us!
ReplyDeleteThere's no flies on CC
ReplyDeleteNo Rolling Stones? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vdjjPzuZsU8
ReplyDeleteThere are quite a few spider and fly songs, aren’t there? I’m rooting for a few to show up next time. - Brian
ReplyDeleteGreat idea, CC. In fact, in eager anticipation that you might do this very thing, Isobel Campbell especially wrote a song called The Spider And The Fly for her current album. She will delighted with a CC mention in an upcoming instalment.
ReplyDeleteExcellent picks to start things off, love The Monocles!
