Miggins is bringing the noise this week. Actually his playlist isn't all noisy, it's nice and mellow in parts too. Something for every mood!

Polyvinyl Craftsmen - Lockdown 2.0 Ear Food

 

Coop's turn to provide a playlist this week, 30 tunes across all sorts of genres, including one from a snooker legend. Pot black!

Polyvinyl Craftsmen - Laggers' Vinyl Crafts Playlist 5

The lockdown once again means no access to thee shed so we're back to sharing playlists for a bit. The advantage of that is that we get to hear some music from Laggers! Travel restrictions have made it impossible for him to join us for any recording so this is a treat as we've really missed the man and his music. Dig in!

Polyvinyl Craftsmen - Laggers' Vinyl Crafts - Bill and Ben

Inspired by Coop's show last week, him doing two of his favourites Greg & Nick (check it out), I've quickly put together two of my favourites (limited to what's available on Spotify). I present Mr William Hamper & Mr Benedict R Wallers, two of England's finest artistes. Enjoy. Stay safe. Give everyone a hug from me.

Paul x.

Polyvinyl Craftsmen - Jesuses of Cool

Coop here, my turn this week. So, the title; apparently that is the correct pluralisation of Jesus, looks wrong to me but there you go. And I'm not saying the Polyvinyl Craftsmen are Jesuses of cool, we're blatantly not but I think the subjects of my playlist this week are. This is my opinion, it doesn't necessarily reflect the views of other Craftsmen!

Greg Cartwright and Nick Lowe are two of my favourite songwriters and singers, so this is a chronological wander through their back catalogues. 

Greg Cartwright has been my favourite for a few years, I was hooked when I heard "Stop and Think It Over" and then gobbled up everything else I could find that he was involved in.

Nick Lowe has been around a lot longer and has taken more time to appreciate. I heard him first in the 70s and liked what he did but never really dug much deeper than a couple of singles. I saw Brinsley Schwarz doing "Surrender to the Rhythm" on an Old Grey Whistle Test repeat about 10 years ago and picked up a best of Brinsley Schwartz comp and then a best of Nick Lowe on the back of that and then collected all his early LPs. I've just finished Will Birch's "Cruel To Be Kind" bio and have been buying all of Nick's later LPs/EPs too. He is growing old gracefully and his music is reflecting that.

Enough waffle, have a listen, there are similarities you might notice, both are influenced by country, soul, R&B and the love of a good song. I could have picked 100 songs by each but chose 20, all written by them rather than covers (they are both ace at interpreting other people's songs too).

Polyvinyl Craftsmen - One Third of PVC 3

Miggins is on selecting duties this week, ideal sounds for driving round town in your vintage jalopy (if restrictions allow in your neck of the woods of course).

Polyvinyl Craftsmen - Laggers' Vinyl Crafts Playlist 3

Oh it was gorgeousness and gorgeosity made flesh. The trombones crunched redgold under my bed, and behind my gulliver the trumpets three-wise silverflamed, and there by the door the timps rolling through my guts and out again crunched like candy thunder. Oh, it was wonder of wonders. And then, a bird of like rarest spun heavenmetal, or like silvery wine flowing in a spaceship, gravity all nonsense now, came the violin solo above all the other strings, and those strings were like a cage of silk round my bed. Then flute and oboe bored, like worms of like platinum, into the thick thick toffee gold and silver. I was in such bliss, my brothers.
