Yes Virginia, they did have other songs besides Cool For Catsā¦
Just how good are these lyrics?..
I never thought it would happen
With me and the girl from Clapham
Out on the windy common
That night I aināt forgotten
When she dealt out the rations
With some or other passions
I said āyou are a ladyā
āPerhapsā she said. āI may beā

Back in my late teens, one of my nicknames was āBob Segerā (due to the fact that my mates thought that I looked like himā¦long hair and beard etc).
I was a big fan and this is one of my favourite songs of his:

I follow a page called The Prog Mind and they recommended this album recently
Just finished listening to it and it might be my favourite album from 2024
Tales of Uncertainty by Grive
From the review:
They play an alternative ambient rock that some call āslowcoreā. Itās rather reserved with hints of doom and melancholy, but itās not cosmic or āout thereā. No, the music is grounded and set in this world. It feels ethereal, yes, but like the spacious ambience of a small club or rust belt city.
Sound systems purring like a happy kitty.

Itās truely a different time now, locked arenas like animals
So, hereās a thingā¦
The Hoodoo Gurus released an EP in 2014 called Gravy Train. This contained 3 unrecorded songs from the earliest days of the band, but finally recorded in 2013 by three different line-ups of the bandā¦
One by the original āLe Hoodoo Gurusā line-up (whose only recorded output was the Leilani single).
One by the Stoneage Romeos lineup.
One by the Mars Needs Guitars lineup.
The last track was this, a re-recording of Leilani performed by all 8 (then) past & present HG members, which sonically sits somewhere between the thunderous album version and the more primitive original single. Of course, itās not as good as the classic album version, but itās good fun nonethelessā¦
This track (recorded by the Marsā¦ lineup) goes pretty well tooā¦ and wouldāve sat quite nicely on either of the first couple of albumsā¦

How many of you guys have that Hoodoo Gurus plastic fold-out singles pack?
Yep. For years that was the only place to hear the classic Be My Guru on the flip of one of the singles (My Girl was it?)
