2 Against 5
2 AGAINST 5
Nothing beats the morning when the sun shines bright,
Dry eyes open drink the pale blue light
Cracks in the shutters let the colours bleed in
Open up the window let the world right in
Take it easy
Take it in
Clock keeps ticking but it don't mean a thing
Clapping its hands to the time it brings
Got nowhere to be, I got nowhere to go
I'm taking it easy, I'm taking it slow
Take it easy
Take it in
2 Against 5 may not seem a fair fight,
but how strong are your 2?
If you feel like the odds have got you beat
You've got to make them work for you
Hustle and a bustle and toyle and trouble
Working real hard but the boss wants double
Working days come but working days go
But this ain't working I'm taking it slow
Take it easy
Take it in
2 Against 5 may not seem a fair fight,
but how strong are your 2?
If you feel like the odds have got you beat
You've got to make them work for you
Happed In Mist - Michael Marra
This is a beautiful song by Michael Marra about a character from the book Sunset Song called Ewan Tavindale. He is taken from his home and forced to fight in the first world war at the age of 25. During his time in the trenches he loses his mind and sees a vision of his fiance which he is drawn towards. The apparition appears in the opposite direction of the battle so poor Ewan is sentenced to death by firing squad and buried in a cowards grave. There were 306 British soldiers condemned to death by their own side for being "cowards". Lest We Forget.

Jack Bruce - 14 May 1943 – 25 October 2014
I grew up listening to Cream and it was a massive surprise when I found out Jack Bruce was Scottish. When I was a teenager, there seemed to be no credible musicians from Scotland. I know now that it was my record collection that was lacking but when I was growing up, Scotland's musical contribution seemed to be Wet, Wet, Wet, Deacon Blue, The Bay City Rollers & Lulu. It took a bit longer to come across Michael Marra. My headphones constantly boomed with Bowie, The Stones, Springsteen & Cream. So when it was revealed to me that 33.3% of Cream came from Bishopbriggs, I couldn't believe it.
Rest in peace Jack, you ment so much to so many but you gave many young Scottish musicians hope that the topper most of the popper most was not only within reach, but had already been conquered. X

The Video Jagger & Bowie don't want you to see
This is what the, already totally embarrassing, Dancing In The Street video is like with the music taken away.
The original Martha Reeves and the Vandellas song celebrates its 50th anniversary this year and they will be performing at the 2014 Wickerman Festival alongside Dizzy Rascal, Del Amitri, Shed 7 & Full Tonne Kidd.

What this guy did alone in a Las Vegas Airport is amazing!
Richard Dunn was alone in a Las Vegas Airport overnight, rather than let boredom get the better of him, he created the ultimate selfie using his iPhone, iMovie and Celine Dions version of All by myself. The result is brilliant and shows give someone creative tech and time, they will entertain you.
These people didn't see this coming!

Michael Marra - Beef hearts & Bones
This is a tremendous song by Michael Marra about a messy divorce. This song is about the dividing of the record collection. A true genius, sadly missed.
