Hello

Recommended music

This site is designed to bring you the best music videos available on the web. There will also be some accompanying text which, hopefully, will be illuminating. I hope you like it. Here’s one to get started. Like a Benjamin Britten poem set to music, it’s a song that tells you everything you need to know about the mix of wistfulness and melancholy England can inspire. The audience participation half way through is rather moving, I think.

Strange how you can tell from just the opening two bars of unaccompanied drums that what follows is going to be terrific. This absurdly funky, live version of Susperstition first aired on Sesame Street (!) April 28, 1973. If you don’t like this, you are legally dead.
