Al Green, 'Let's Stay Together'
Wow, what a gorgeous slice of sound this is. Edible. Rippling. Sweet. This is Romantic Craner talking.
When I was working as a postman in Cardiff for a year before moving to London, the radio station in the depot played this every day at some point between 5-6am. It was quite grim, getting up at 4am and sorting out all my letters for an hour, but this helped me get through that and once I hit the round in the lovely morning air I had a swing in my step, surfing on the sumptuous vibes this song radiated.
It was a great job, by the way. I had a tough round, in Grangetown and one of the longest in the city, but I was out in the fresh air and even on a heavy post day (Tuesday is the heavy post day, by the way) I was done by 11am. I was working Mon-Sat 5-11am. On Sundays I worked at Virgin Megastore in Cardiff in the Jazz and Classical section. It was great because you could put on whatever you wanted in that room when you were working it. It’s where I discovered how similar Debussy’s Preludes sounded to McCoy Tyner. It was also where I played On the Corner one day and an irate punter came up to me and said, “you do know this is the Jazz and Classical section, don’t you?” “Yeah,” I said, “this is by Miles Davis.”
I was working seven days a week for about 9 months but it meant I didn’t have to work for 6 when I moved to London, and when I did I worked at the Piccadilly Circus Virgin. There was a regular mad man who used to come in to demand Elvis Presley box sets that we never had. He dressed like a seedy, Latin American version of 60s Elvis and called himself “De Elvis”. He’s probably dead now.
I dedicate this to the Cardiff Posties and De Elvis.

there was an old veteran sitting over on the other table. luke noticed his bottom lip starting to quiver and as i kept singing he burst into tears. we went over to console him. it turns out it was his first dance with his now deceased wife. he said hearing me sing it was the first time he really felt closure about her death. it'd been 11 years since her passing.
"young man, you have given me a gift that many of the greatest men in history weren't able to. you gave me beauty".
and with that he left. i often think about that man. i think about what his story can offer to us all.
"love takes on a new meaning"

Just for the record, and for when Jim reads this thread, he's not fat, he's dashing intelligent witty and handsome but if craner is going to refer to people no one else knows he should turn them into comic book characters. IMO. It makes it fun for everyone. This rogues gallery of Fat Jims, Badger Gavs and Roger the Dodgers. It's not a slur on the real Jim.

Jimi Hendrix, 'Voodoo Chile (Slight Return)'
The greatest guitar track ever recorded. As an intense and almost incomprehensible and insane tour de force it reminds me of the ‘Terminator 2 Remix’.
The fact that this was done in one take the morning after they recorded the turgid, endless ‘Voodoo Chile’ (with Stevie Winwood spunking his organ all over the shop) is amazing, really.
Not a lot of guitars on this list, but this tips the balance in one go.

I refuse to believe anyone saying anything other than Alexander O'Neal.

this is amazing. the anticipation's overpowering.
it's like that wait in between world cup semi-final penalties when you forget that england are rubbish and you think they's actually a chance we can win.

John Coltrane, 'Joy'
From First Meditations, which is like Meditations but with tunes.
We're in the last stages of the classic Quartet here before moving into the Cosmic realms, which I love too (maybe more), but this is an amazing record and not as easy to get hold of as it should be. McCoy Tyner is on fire! Going at like Hendrix! Almost to the point where it's like, no John, leave it don't come back. But then he comes back, and tears up the fucking floor. I tried driving to this once and ended up pushing 90mph in my shit Citroën without even realising. (Crescent is still stuck in my now removed old car stereo, by the way.)
