Welcome to the RPM Record Club Seven Day Soundtrack, week ending Friday 7th June 2024. A few RPMers absent this week, so it's the short and sweet edition...over to...
"I know it’s not May anymore but this is a summery song."
Padstow May Song performed by Lisa Knapp -
"Late 70s French post punk, eventually released in 2019."
Harry Fabian by Affection Place -
"To help get in the mood for the upcoming Euros….na nana nana na na, na na na na na …."
Freed From Desire by Gala -
"Hi everyone, hope all good .Here’s my 3."
Run by Air -
Glass Onion by Beatles -
Carrion by British Sea Power -
"Greetings from Swanton Morley. A couple of new numbers this week, plus one from a band who have a new album this month - but my selection is a tune of which I think I might have chosen the studio version on a previous occasion. This version features Dan Auerbach live on stage."
I Know You Know by Bonny Light Horseman -
The Years Will Not Be Kind by The Mavericks -
Tres Hermanos by Hermanos Gutierrez with Dan Auerbach -

"Best wishes and good health to all RPMers."
"Hello everyone. What a great variety again these last few weeks. Thank you all."
Illegal Smile by John Prine - "You'll find loads of comments to the effect that John Prine was/still is underrated, but I'm not sure that's true, since everyone who knows his music rates him incredibly highly. This early number (1971) has his trademark sly humour and has aged very well - apart perhaps from the reference to Judge Hoffman.
Such a sad loss (Prine, not Hoffman)."

John Ball by Chris Wood - "From his fabulous 'Trespasser' album. I love the dreamy texture of his version of the Sydney Carter song.
As this is a longish number, I'll only offer two this week."

"Enjoy!"
"Hello Everyone, here are three tracks I've experienced in the past seven days: The first was on my car CD player, the second at a gig on Sunday night at Norwich Arts Centre and the third was in the comfort of my living room."
American Idiot by Green Day -

Bonfire Night by The Feathered Thorns -
Breakfast In Mayfair by Fairport Covention -
"Greetings to all and more thanks for more great music.
Determined to escape the inescapable party political broadcasts and algorithms reinforcing my perceived political bias, I imagined a winter break in the Southern hemisphere. So, in the spirit of what has the PM ever done for us, I give him my thanks that I can take my leave now for few weeks closer and cheaper."
"One comment on those who I will not miss from John Moreland..."
The More You Say, The Less It Means by John Moreland -
"One more thing I'll not miss is the telephone canvassing..."
Dialling Your Number by Jack Logan and Bob Kimbell -
"And on a more serious note a journal entry reminded me that in this week almost 30 years ago I first met a very talented musician at a Glitterhouse festival. So for a few days I immersed myself in the huge body of his work."
Flirted With You All My Life by Vic Chesnutt -

"That's All Folks."
"Here's my choices this week."
Flowers by Miley Cyrus -
Hang Loose by Alabama Shakes -
When You Love Someone by Bryan Adams -
"Take care everybody."
This week; a rediscovered oldie, a newly discovered newie and a resolved trad niggle...
In The Morning by Wolfmother - "Cosmic Egg, the second album from Wolfmother, was the random lucky dip disc pulled from the CD box in the car this week. Here's the song from it that I found myself humming in my head..."
Hawk In The Tree by Cat Clyde - "Not familiar with Cat Clyde at all, a new guitar student brought this song along as one she wanted to learn. Really liked this enough to check out some other songs....none of which were in the same vein as Hawk...the jury is still out."
The Merry Blacksmith / The Earl's Chair / Foxhunter's Reel performed by Lough Key - "Working out the Earl's Chair, I came across this rather nice low-fi trad recording...oh, and the Earl is sorted."
'Til Next Time...
