Saturday Shuffle 124

 

Let's see what assorted nonsense we have for you this week.

We start with a band who are no strangers to that sort of thing. Ladies and gentlemen I give you Carter USM with their cover of Another Brick in the Wall taken from the 2012 Deluxe Edition of 1992 -The Love Album. It was originally recorded for Ruby Wax -The NME's Roaring Forty compilation. Count yourselves lucky,  I could have posted the original.

Next up is Jimmy" Duck" Holmes a Blues musician and proprietor of the Blue Front Cafe the oldest surviving juke joint in Mississippi. Here he is with appropriate Catfish Blues.

Yalla Yalla is an Arabic colloquialism for Come on,lets go, hurry up. It is also the name of a Lebanese Kitchen restaurant in Soho. From the pictures the food looks fantastic. I may send Ernie out on a scouting expedition!

Much more importantly than that, however, Yalla Yalla is a belter of a song on the 1999 album Rock Art and the X-Ray Style by Joe Strummer and the Mescaleros which I  have just put on.

More assorted nonsense next Saturday.
