Killing time before doing a live radio session for Seattle's KEXP radio station. The performance was recorded in a TV studio in Austin, hence the unusual green room.
Completely unrelated, but here's a little story for you. The night before this was taken, I was enjoying a glass of beer with a couple of my colleagues in a Mexican restaurant a few miles from downtown Austin. A rather large and drunk lady approached me and asked, "Did you see that guy whaling on me?". Mustering up my finest clipped English accent, I replied: "I'm terribly sorry, could you repeat that". She seemed a little taken aback. "Say, you're not from round here, are you. Where are y'all from?"
"Um, I'm from I'm England," I countered,"and these two gentleman are Danish."
"England! Alright!! So what language do you speak over there?"
"English," I replied brightly.
She swayed slightly, seemingly deep in thought.
"I see... Broken English, though, right?"
I'll leave the rest of the conversation to your imagination.
A nice radio session:

Nothing new to see in this photo, but while at the Hernando Kroger Marketplace store, something struck me as different about the bistro counter and it's surrounding area. However, according to this photo and this one, both taken in the first few days after the place opened, nothing has really changed since then. It was probably just the way the sunlight was coming in from the seating area windows (located to the right of the counter) that struck me as different for some reason. And, while I'm struck with no good segue way here for this (even a cheesy one!), here's some more music recommendations anyway (following the photo footer)... AND -- stay tuned for one more photo after this one.

'And I'm not gonna dance for them today...'
Singer-songwriter Eddy Cantor wasn't always the man behind that tune that sees the bloke off Nathan Barley bouncing
around in front of some wallpaper on 'Man Stroke Woman' on BBC2/BBC3. No, he was once a TV chef, and before that, a university lecturer, pharmaceutical window-dresser, teletext updater, undercover documentary cameraman, 'greek fisherman' in a Boots advert, and before that - one of those guys who tries to sell you a mortgage over the phone.
An extreme case of ADHD had left Eddy floating through disparate careers, blissfully unaware that his true love, writing songs, could provide an anchor capable of holding his attention still. So naturally, he enrolled in music college in Manchester...
...as a harmonica player.
Meanwhile, at the same college, guitar virtuoso Neil Cooper was on the rise. Neil doesn't do 'me me me' solos, just stunning melodies, and has more than a touch of the 'Johnny Marr's' about him. He was however, going through songwriters quicker than strings, and his effortlessly beautiful music in danger, he felt, of being draped in polyester.
When Ying decided he needed a harmonica player, he called Yang, and the rest... was history.
Neil's sweet harmonies and delicate touch may not be characteristically Wythenshawe, but they wrap around Eddy's mellow vocal like a silk scarf round a puppy's neck. And so, whilst working together in and around Manchester's music scene, playing their own unique brand of John Martyn-inspired, Isley Brothers-flavoured, earthy acoustic soul, the first seeds of The Sanderson Pitch were sown.
After decamping to London and hooking up with keyboard wizard Kwame Yeboah (Stevie Wonder, Ms Dynamite, Craig David), and one of West London's young urban legends - producer Si Katz (Jamiroquai, Gorillaz, Ms Dynamite), The Sanderson Pitch has gradually morphed into a sound to be reckoned with and is now starting to bear the fruit...
Described as a 'hip new band' by the Daily Mirror when a host of celebrities were spotted at a gig at West London's Cobden Club in April 2005, and picked up for a radio session by Andrea Oliver for her Sony Award winning show The Selector, The Sanderson Pitch reputation has snowballed, and even earned them spots at London's Troubadour, Metro, and the prestigious Pizza Express Jazz Club in May 2005 - which they promptly sold out.
While 'Dive' has been getting caned on the TV and radio, it's also available for free download on their website. Their incredible and now infamous acoustic blues version of Survivor's 'Eye Of The Tiger' is to feature on the BBC3 documentary 'Lord Of The Dance Machine', airing soon. Their long-awaited debut album 'Faint Sounds' will also feature gems such as 'Walk Through Love' on which Eddy shares vocal duties with Zero 7 vocalist Sophie Barker.
Shop Assistants were an indie pop band from Edinburgh, Scotland, formed in 1984, initially as Buba & The Shop Assistants. The original line-up was Aggi (Annabel Wright, later of The Pastels), on vocals, David Keegan (guitar), Sarah Kneale (bass), Laura MacPhail (drums) and Ann Donald (drums). This line-up released one single, the now highly-collectible 'Something to Do' which was produced by Stephen Pastel. Stephen Pastel also contributed backing vocals.
Aggi left to be replaced by Alex Taylor. Soon after, the name shortened to simply 'Shop Assistants' and the first release under their new name was the Shopping Parade EP in 1985 on The Subway Organization, whose track All Day Long was described by Morrissey as his favourite single of that year. Ann Donald left round about November 1985 and was briefly replaced by Joan Bride (possibly a pseudonym!). "Shopping Parade" was followed in early 1986 with "Safety Net", the first release on Keegan's 53rd & 3rd Records, which topped the UK Indie Chart, and the band recorded a national radio session with Janice Long and a second John Peel session, both of BBC's Radio One. The exposure they gained from the sessions enabled the group to have two songs to be voted into John Peel's Festive Fifty in both 1985 and 1986.
In 1986, they were featured on the NME's compilation C86 with one of their slower songs, It's Up To You, taken from Shopping Parade EP. Also in that year, they signed to Chrysalis Records's sublabel Blue Guitar for another single, I Don't Wanna Be Friends With You as well as their first and only LP album, The Shop Assistants. This spent one week at number 100 in the UK album charts, which gives the band the distinction of being the (joint) least successful act ever to hit the national charts. The LP album was re-released on CD in 2001, although it is now very hard to find.
The band split early in 1987, when Taylor left the group to join The Motorcycle Boy. After a two-year hiatus, the band reformed without Taylor in 1989 with Kneale on vocals and MacPhail on bass and the addition of Margarita Vasquez-Ponte of Jesse Garon And The Desperadoes on drums. With the new lineup they released Here It Comes and Big 'E' Power in 1990 before splitting again, Keegan joining The Pastels.

While 'Dive' has been getting caned on the TV and radio, it's also available for free download on their website. Their incredible and now infamous acoustic blues version of Survivor's 'Eye Of The Tiger' is to feature on the BBC3 documentary 'Lord Of The Dance Machine', airing soon. Their long-awaited debut album 'Faint Sounds' will also feature gems such as 'Walk Through Love' on which Eddy shares vocal duties with Zero 7 vocalist Sophie Barker.

'And I'm not gonna dance for them today...'
Singer-songwriter Eddy Cantor wasn't always the man behind that tune that sees the bloke off Nathan Barley bouncing
around in front of some wallpaper on 'Man Stroke Woman' on BBC2/BBC3. No, he was once a TV chef, and before that, a university lecturer, pharmaceutical window-dresser, teletext updater, undercover documentary cameraman, 'greek fisherman' in a Boots advert, and before that - one of those guys who tries to sell you a mortgage over the phone.
An extreme case of ADHD had left Eddy floating through disparate careers, blissfully unaware that his true love, writing songs, could provide an anchor capable of holding his attention still. So naturally, he enrolled in music college in Manchester...
...as a harmonica player.
Meanwhile, at the same college, guitar virtuoso Neil Cooper was on the rise. Neil doesn't do 'me me me' solos, just stunning melodies, and has more than a touch of the 'Johnny Marr's' about him. He was however, going through songwriters quicker than strings, and his effortlessly beautiful music in danger, he felt, of being draped in polyester.
When Ying decided he needed a harmonica player, he called Yang, and the rest... was history.
Neil's sweet harmonies and delicate touch may not be characteristically Wythenshawe, but they wrap around Eddy's mellow vocal like a silk scarf round a puppy's neck. And so, whilst working together in and around Manchester's music scene, playing their own unique brand of John Martyn-inspired, Isley Brothers-flavoured, earthy acoustic soul, the first seeds of The Sanderson Pitch were sown.
