SPAM

OK... so this isn't that relevant to a music blog but according to Hormel (maker's of Spam) the rise in food prices have seen increased sales. I thought the viking invasion also had something to say. Also I rather like fried spam, with baked beans, and fried bread, for breakfast.

St James Infirmary -- Black Bottom Jazz Band 2007

I just think it wonderful that music like this transcends and that a bunch of old white guys can express the feeling.

ROSE ROYCE Love Don't Live Here Anymore

YouTube - ROSE ROYCE Love Don't Live Here Anymore

This song has been covered many times (including by a very young Kate Ceberano as well as a pretty lame version by Madonna) but this is, in my opinion, still the best version.

The lead singer is the mysterious Rose Norwalt. Although I've googled about, I can find no information about her.

Renee Geyer

Renee Geyer is a bluesy goddess. She's damn hot but unfortunately never gained the kind of international recognition achieved by other aussie women such as Olivia Newton-John, Helen Reddy or, of course, Kylie Minogue.
