Hello dear reader, how’s tricks? Looking good!
Actually you look a little tired, been overdoing it again? Still you’re only
young once eh? I’d make the most of it if I were you, eat, drink and be merry, well
as merry as you can get these days without someone wittering on about liver
damage. Good grief, on the one hand the Government’s moaning that we’re all living
too long and telling us we’ve got to work until we’re 147 and on the other they
want us to stop smoking, drinking, eating, shagging...anything that’s remotely
enjoyable in fact. Here’s a new idea...free fags n’booze for anyone who wants ‘em...then
anyone who wants to pop their clogs at 37’s free to do so. Voila...what pension
crisis. Hmmm...think I might run for Prime Minister...
Anyway, on with la musica! I do like a good concept
behind an album so anyone who comes up with the idea of a greatest hits
collection from an imaginary Greek instrumental band of the 60s and 70s gets my
vote. That’s the back story dreamt up by Anglo Greek musician Andy Dragazis
and, if this track from his imaginary band The Scantharies, is anything to go
by it’ll be an oddball freakbeat classic. Air balalaika anyone?
A big slab of progressive house from Raized ByWolves next, hell, it’s the weekend. I fully intend to “lose all control” too,
well as much as you can whilst watching the opening episode of Strictly Come
Dancing anyway. I’m sooooo street.
Little Boots covers Bronski Beat for another one of
those Ministry of Sound Uncovered albums. Surprisingly good...
This chilled out beauty from Aluna George has been
playing on 6 Music for a few weeks now but I’ve no idea if it’s seeped out
anywhere else. Classy...
Finally, back to the old skool with a track that I’ve
been listening to again for the first time in ages...so it’s sort of new...ish.
Propaganda’s Duel still sounds amazing three decades or so after its release and
now the voice behind the music, Claudia Brucken, is back out on tour for the
first time in a squillion years. Check local press for details! Oh right...there
ain’t any is there...it’s all internet this, Arsebook that these days. Sigh...I
remember when a Curly Wurly was 3p etc etc...drones on for several hours...

Songwriting is a difficult process that demands talent, strong work ethic and an ability to understand basic musical concepts. While not all songwriters write the music entirely by themselves, it is useful to have a basic understanding of how music works. This will improve your working relationship with composers, as you will be able to effectively communicate your ideas and even participate in the composing process.
