Right, I've decided y'all should check out the Viking Moses, cos he's bloody bril. I went to a gig on Wednesday, and it blue my wee socks off! It was in an old Adventist church in Edinburgh -- not some hyper-modernised trendy bar, but the church as it's always been. No pews, but everything else was there, including the altar! It was BYOB too - great! So in me and my girlfriend stroll, and lo! - they're playing Herman Dune on stereo (Sunny Cold Cold Day - so good!) and I knew it could only be a great night. Err, and it was! Viking Moses played Emma's Little Smile, which is just the greatest, sweetest song ever, and like most great songs, it was based on a traditional Christian song - just think Jesus Don't Want Me For A Sunbeam (I'm not religious by the way, it's just a fact that those Christians pumped out some good tunes!). Anyway, I suspect noone will check him out, but if he does happen to play near you, you should really make the effort!

Anyway, rant over!  |

I saw him again, and he was far more awesomer than before - which I thought was not possible. Twas brilliant, and he's still touring the UK, so you should all go see him! (err, perhaps only the British residents though  )
And one of the acts supporting was Morgan's Oranges. He was really good too, and the name is familiar. Has he posted on here, I wonder?? |

I might take your advice - I've had a look and he's playing in Manchester next week, with Richard James (who used to be in Gorky's Zygotic Mynci and is himself brilliant).

Kieron!! I saw him play last night for a Simple Folk session. He was playing as part of Saint Eskimo (a duo).
It was absolutely incredible! I'll let you know when it airs. It'll be special.

You lucky yin, Nic! Can someone record it for me? no broadband still 
I've seen Saint Eskimo before - Golden Ghost and VM. So good! Last I heard they were playing each others songs. I think Brendon likes to play Mariah Carey too! I also heard him play I Will Always Love You - can't remember if it was a gig, from a CD, or myspace, but that was so touching and wonderful |

Yeah, they did play a Mariah Carey song. And a Nirvana song. And a Neutral Milk Hotel Song!!! And lots of their own of course.
George Thomas (of George Thomas & The Owls) played organ with them as well (they played one of his songs too  ).
They were supposed to play about 25-35 minutes, but ended up playing over an hour because people kept wanting more. I don't know if the whole thing will be aired. I'll try and upload it one day, when I have it.

Sounds brilliant! An upload would be awesome too
On a related note - I'm listening to Magellan of the Sea by world history. So good, with a voice between viking moses and jeff lewis! |
