Ballard

Sandie Shaw

I’m sitting in the living room listening to Sandie Shaw on my laptop. No real reason to be honest, except that my girlfriend said she had Long Live Love stuck in her head so I fired iTunes up and played it for her. I don’t know how cool that is but I’ve always found Sandie Shaw to be one of the cooler Sixties girl singers (and certainly one of the best looking) so it’s good enough for me.

Tinted Windows

Not very Ballard either really; a lot of pop but not much power. I suppose I should be listening to someone like Tinted Windows but unfortunately the last time I looked I couldn’t buy their album on the UK version of iTunes. Really annoyed about that as I’ve been looking forward to the release for a couple of months now – any band containing members of Cheap Trick, Fountains of Wayne, Smashing Pumpkins and.. ahem… Hanson has got to be worth spending a few quid on.

Oh well, I suppose you could always buy the Ballard single instead. Oh yeah, I never said; it’s now on iTunes! They’ve managed to file me under Jazz but there you go, I’ll get annoyed about that later. Anyway, because of that the best way to find it is to search for ‘I Can See Everything’ in the iTunes store. It’s also available on this site as high quality MP3’s but it’s cheaper on iTunes and you probably won’t notice the difference in quality. For you streamers out there it’s also on Last FM, Napster, Rhapsody and soon on Spotify. I’ve been linked with a hair metal band on Last FM by the way. I’ve definitely got more in common with Sandie Shaw than Talon…
