11 Elvis

Sticking in the Caribbean and featuring some of the most cringingly awful rhymes ever, get a load of the (truly) Fabulous McClevertys.

10 ska

After I don't know how many weeks, I should hope you've got the hang of this by now, but just in case, here's Lord Brynner to teach you how to ska.

Something about mixing the dog with the wash wash apparently....

9 Count Basie, Dizzy Gillespie, Charlie Parker, et al

They all feature in Young Tiger's tongue-in-cheek criticism of 'this modern music'.

How can anyone not like this?

7 Beatles

Ending my fab 4 for the Fab 4 with this, to give balance. Not everyone loved those lads from Liverpool.

This fine example of mid-60s 'laika shake' from Greece is (apparently) mocking them: "I'm Not Like The Beatles".

6 Beatles

Continuing the theme with one of my favourite current performers. The vibe from this live clip is irresistible.

Good luck getting this one out of your head.

Autumn stuff:
Misty Mordor mornings. Big beautiful trees. Spiced persimmon cake. And felines.

Staring a trio (at least) of Fab 4 references (unless someone else gets there first).

After an action-packed weekend in the big city, it’s nevertheless good to be back in the garden where autumn leaves and sweet, sweet raspberries await me.

4 Paul McCartney (among others)

It's not Monday, but after a great action-packed weekend away, this song hits hard this morning.

3 ska

It’s Monday. I don’t know about you but I agree with Prince Buster.

(Let the sheer vitality and enthusiasm of the performance override the dubious audio quality)

1 boogie woogie, rumba, guaracha

I’ve been wanting to post these guys for ages. I love their punky cumbia marimba-led take on Lalo Guerrero’s classic.

Looking for a link, I found this great live version.

Thanks to @bwodotbc.bsky.social for composing the challenge.

We’re due our first frost any day now, so time to pull up the last of the sweet potatoes.
Also, those pepperoncini keep on poppin’.

Popped into the garden to pick a few figs at just the right moment.

After a morning spent slicing and deseeding a vast pile of jalapeños, my fingers are burning, my nose running and my eyes stinging.
Now…what’s for lunch? Oh, fried peppers….

Another 2.5kg of jalapeños to deal with…..
