Woke up this morning to find the trailer for Martin Scorsese's "George Harrison: Living in the Material World" waiting for me.  I've known that this was coming for some time but to finally see a completed trailer only adds to my excitement and anticipation.  

"George Harrison: Living in the Material World."

Another week and another five songs that I hold dear. 

"Sea Within A Sea" - The Horrors

"City With No Children" - Arcade Fire

"The Great Skua" - British Sea Power

* please do your souls and minds an enormous favour and listen to this song.  Simply beautiful.

"Perth" - Bon Iver

"Boys Keep Swinging" - David Bowie

Music is everybody's possession. It's only publishers who think that people own it. - John Lennon

A new week and a new selection of songs. 

"There's A Ghost In My House" - R. Dean Taylor

(Thanks goes to the fabulous and extremely talented Michelle at Stray Cat Blues for introducing me to this absolute gem of a tune.)

"Glad All Over" - The Dave Clark Five

"Seconds" - Gladys Knight & The Pips

"The Highways of my Life" - The Isley Brothers

"Hold Tight" - Dave Dee, Dozy, Beaky, Mick & Titch

It seems that this week's music are either recommendations from friends or songs heard and picked up from my parents.  The Dave Clark 5 and Dave Dee, Dozy, Beaky, Mick & Titch are all bands that have come straight from my Dad and that have been on my musical radar since I was very small.  Whereas Gladys Knight and The Isley Brothers are musicians that I discovered through my Mum when hearing them through the cassette players of old cars, played at a very high level.
