Heard a podcast the other day about his wife, whose own career could have been just as good, but was destroyed by his controlling and deception.

Covered by Beth Orton (with a heavy dose of William Orbit) on her first solo album.

Nothing I’ve read or heard of John Martyn outside the studio brings me any joy, though.

Not a huge surprise. Albums until the mid 60s were basically one or two originals that had come out as singles, plus whatever covers the artist or their A&R guy could get permission to do.

Must admit, the Flying Lizards version was the one that came to mind!

Love me some Beth. It’s her birthday this week, too!

Ali and Ted who backed Beth Orton for years. First saw these guys as Clayhill when they were supporting Beth on their North American tour in 2006. I only learned the morning of when they were going to play in Boise where i lived at the time.

The soundtrack to our honeymoon! Driving around the UK, Radio 1, 11am, like clockwork.

Unknown in Australia, i finally found the CD in Auckland a couple of years later.

I was a day late, and kinda busy yesterday.

This just about covers the next few weeks.

5. A Christmas Story.

One of the basic cable channels plays this on a 24-hour continuous loop from mid Christmas Eve evening. It’s a charming little comedy that suits the purpose of background filler perfectly.

My choice.

4. Only Fools and Horses

Yes, even that last season that I’ve tried to wipe from memory. The DVDs might be just about on their last legs, hopefully we can get one last year out of them.

3. Pride and Prejudice (1995)

I can drift in and out, having seen it end to end at least 60 or 70 times. But it’s Miranda’s favourite so I’ll behave.

I find Will Ferrell pretty hard to take at the best of times. This doesn’t help.
