Welcome To My Blog

Thanks for checking the blog out... Hope it offers something a bit different every now & again. Though I come from a pseudo - Mod background (Soul & Ska in particular), I have a diverse taste in music & hope my varied posts will reflect this.

Cheers Skamanc .... I'm not after your undying gratitude, but please leave your thoughts, comments & opinions on the posts & content. I regularly up- & download material, plus buy and trade items. As such, if I have inadvertently "trodden on anyone's toes" in posting anything then please let me know & accept my apologies. Also please support the artists involved & remember that the blog is merely a pointer toward these various downloads, which are stored elsewhere. Legally, any downloads should not be retained for more than a week. So now I've told you the legal bit !

THE RUTS DC & KEVIN COYNE : Sanity Stomp (1980)

Dave Sez does it again !! Had major hassles with my other e-mail account, hence the late appearance of this gem (Dec 27th). Thought I'd save it just a couple of more days to constitute my Birthday post (though I'll be at work in the PM. Shite !!)

Be sure to leave Dave a note or two please !


Kevin Coyne & Ruts DC
Sanity Stomp (1980)
mp3 @ 320

And in these chilly times, there's nothing like some ultra-rare Ruts DC to warm the cockles of your heart! After Malcolm Owen's death, the Ruts DC continued work on their own compositions whilst playing as backing band for Laurel Aitken's Peel session and this long-deleted power pop album by Kevin Coyne which includes a version of one Ruts DC song, Formula Eyes. This post is specially dedicated to skamanc for keeping his wonderful site skamanchackett.blogspot.com up for us all to enjoy. Thanks to the great poor for posting this, and Christmas cheer to you all, Dave Sez.

  2. Thanks Herr Pauli for all your support of skamanc and indeed of myself - but ;-) actually "self-employed of the year" like skamanc is going to be, so let's wish him all the best with that, and you'll find a couple of extra New Year presents in the comments here:

  8. Great post! Always a wonderful moment when I come across Kevin Coyne stuff I don't have and I don't have this!

    It's been a while so I've blogged regularly but I'm firing up again and I'm wondering if it would be cool with you to add Skaman to my blogroll on my new mix blog? Would love it if you'd do the same for me. Please check it out:

    http://spinonasixpence.ihookitup.com/

    I have an older blog that has rather been neglected of late as it's so much work that you were kind enough to add to your blogroll. It's this one:

    http://groundsforappeal.ihookitup.com/

    I also contribute mixes to the following podcast site:

    http://radioetiopia.podomatic.com/

    If any or all appeal, I would be deeply grateful if you would consider adding them to your blogroll. Regardless, I'd like to add Skaman to SpinonaSixpence. Let me know.
