Roger Miller did a version of Misty in 1975 that dominated Radio 1 playtime in Britain but never did much in the US Like chug a lug it made it a simple smile on your face listen

Based on how it appeared in the music news of the time, British Indians tended to dislike Kula Shaker, especially given Cornershop’s one-sided rivalry with them.

Meanwhile, the Indian Americans I knew, if they were into alternative rock at all, loved Kula Shaker.

The fact that Otis Redding was only 26 when he died always amazes me. "(Sitting on) The Dock of the Bay" does not sound like it's a sung by a kid in their early 20's. It sounds like a man who's been beat down over many years and now he's just so very, very tired.

When I worked for a small label, our only release to reach the top 200 peaked there.

Tortoise - Standards (2001)
