the Continuing Theropy of Cyderpunk K or elastic bands
here’s the game to illustrate either:
How wildly eclectic your taste is… or,
How perfectly streamlined it is.
Should be a player with 13 tracks from one band this week
Rules.
I will post a letter of the alphabet
all BANDS or ARTISTS must begin with that letter.
Artists letter is determined by the letter at the beginning of their SURNAME (if they use it) – ignore the use of ‘The’ in a bands name.
up to 13 songs are allowed – fewer if you wish.
All can be the same artist if that represents you perfectly or all the same genre. Just make them great tunes.
make a youtube playlist (if you wish) and link to it – just link to it – don’t overload the thread.
Cut and paste the band names and tracks (in a joyous list style) in the comments.
Then we can chat about the choices – add some waffle if you wish (about how narrow or varied those choices are) … but above all, have fun.
THIS WEEKS LETTER IS: K
The 'Spill 
Ah, now this’ll be interesting. This may well be the letter that most obviously demonstrates changes in my tastes over the years. My artists are going to go from Kiss and Krokus to Kozelek and the Kronos Quartet.
Back later.
You’re calling my bluff! Back later after a bit of a struggle, possibly with two different lists.
heehee.
Kwik Kuts
Back with playlist titles later
Kwicker that I thought.
Koop – Baby (ft Cecilia Stalin)
Kurder & Dorfmeister – Useless (DM remix)
K-Klass – Rhythm Is A Mystery
KLF – 3AM Eternal
Keith – Mona Lisa’s Child (Alan Braxe & Fred Falke Mix
Kraftwerk – Neon Lights
King Tubby – Freedom Dub
Knife Party – Centipede
Konflict – Messiah
Kosheen- Hide U
Ray Keith – Chopper (Shy FX remix)
DJ Krust – Warhead
King Jammy – Darker Shade Of Dub
Damn. Playlist starts here
oh, forgot KLF. Lots of new stuff to me there, nice list.
nice – I wonder what the KLF choices are going to be?
It was them and different single tune that made me think of K this week.
Hi Beth. Like your metals, K is a great letter for dance/electronic music so you may have kick off your stiletto thigh boots for this one.
Hi shane. Lovely blue wicked artwork. Yes KLF was my first thought. These playlists seem to be sending me on massive nostalgia trips. I remember having a huge crush on the K-Klass singer – she has the sexiest lisp. Ah! I feel like getting pissed on Mad Dog 20/20 Blue Raspberry. Happy days.
Sorry, wilemena, there were quite a few I had to skip there. But the newtome Kruder & Dorfmeister was strangely alluring – like an electronic Siren’s call. KLF still produce a grin, and both Dubs worked a treat, as always. Ta.
Hi DsD. Yeah, a few of my choices won’t go down well this week unless you like a bit heavy d&b and dubstep. I just raided my old dance collection and stuck the Knife Party in cos it’s ‘sick’ (as my 11 year old would say – meaning good, but the vid is a bit sick as in bad taste too).
Shane, K’s are difficult, I can only think of 9 and to be honest they’re not my absolute favourite tracks ever, I wonder who I missed out and what everyone else will chose?
They also seem to be a bit heavy, prepare your ears
Beth’s mostly metal Ks
1. KMFDM – A drug against war
2. KASMS -Bone You
3. Katatonia – The Parting
4. Killing Joke – Requiem
5. Killing Miranda – Conspiracy Theory
6. Kreator – When the Sun Burns Red
7. The Kinks – You Really Got Me
8. Kula Shaker – Govinda
9. KYUSS – Green Machine
I’m trying to even out the letters so we don’t get all the easy one’s and then struggle towards the end with the tougher ones.
I’m sure K is going to surprise us… (and remind us of somethings)
shall get my ears ready for your onslaught – looks like a corker.
apart from Kula Shaker, which I am embarrassed about but my kids sing along to in the car, it’s all a bit heavy for some reason!
Donds for Kinks, Kyuss & Killing Joke. Jaz may still make my list, but I can drop the other two now.
thanks, I look forward to seeing your list later 🙂
Kyuss & Killing Joke the obvious winners for me there, Beth. The likes of Kreator and the rest are too thrash for my tastes, though I quite liked the Katatonia.
Ha! I used to be embarrassed about my Shaker love, but now I’m Kular with it (arf!). I’d have gone for Hush tho I reckon.
😉
donds! I actually have a Kyuss and KJ on my list, and forgot all about the persona non grata but psychelicious Kula Shakur.
I’m sure there’ll be some cool stuff on your list amylee, look forward to seeing it.
Ah, I am so happy because a K List is tailor made for me. I can include the mighty Crims!
I also get the chance to list the Three Kings of the Blues, Carole King and Randy California in his incarnation as Kaptain Kopter. Along the way, there is Steve Hillage’s first band, Khan and Paul Kantner from Jefferson Airplane with a track from “Blows Against The Empire” his trippy solo album with Grace Slick, some 70s blue-eyed soul from Kokomo, Steve Mason as King Biscuit Time, Alison Krauss and Dagmar Krause covering Brecht and Weill.
The other track that is work mentioning is an early Kinks effort that sounds, to my ears, remarkably like Davy Graham.
King Crimson – Epitaph
Khan – Stargazers
Paul Kantner – Have You Seen The Stars Tonight?
Kaptain Kopter and The Fabulous Twirly Birds – Things Yet To Come
Carole King – I Feel The Earth Move
Kokomo – I Can Understand It
BB King – The Thrill Is Gone
King Biscuit Time – I Walk The Earth
Alison Krauss – Down To The River To Pray
Dagmar Krause – Alabama Song
The Kinks – Nothing in This World Can Stop Me Worryin’ ‘Bout That Girl
Freddie King – Hideaway
Albert King – Blues Power
Carole_K_list
Good, you’ve covered the “multitude-of-blues-Kings” base, AND listed The Thrill Is Gone; I can pick something less obvious now. And Alison Krauss is going to miss my list, so I’m glad she’s had a mention. Thanks, Carole.
No problem. I have thought of a couple more K’s I could have listed. It’ll be interesting if anyone else noms them. I’ll keep quiet about them for now, though.
That list is very, very you, Carole! Gets a bit too noodly for me at times (I didn’t, f’rinstance, like the Khan tune – who I’ve never heard of), but lots to enjoy: thanks.
all edited now.
Thanks.
I had missed out on Khan’s existence, lovely track, I must check more! Thanks. I wondered if you might have more than one King Crimson track in your list 😉
It would have been easy to have 13 …. 🙂
damn missed out on nominating Alison Krauss 😦
Lucky for me there’s lots of Japanese artists and bands that start with a “K” ! Hooray !
1. Kaleidoscope (U.K.) – Jenny Artichoke ( 60s fey psych with Bo Diddley beat)
2. Kaleidoscope ( U.S) – Pulsating Dream ( 60s Ethno psych, short but sweet)
3.The Kabeedies- Treasure hunting ( 2000s Indie from Norwich)
4. Kahimi Karie – Lolittapop Dollhouse ( Momus cover, perfect for this artist)
5. Kegawa no Maries- Bonnie and Clyde ha konya mo muuchu ( Great band, now defunct)
6. Kenzi and the Trips – Cheeselita ( Cheeselita ? Great name for a child !)
7. Ketchup Mania- Hime no omi ( Manic, in a kechupy way)
8.The Kinks- Autumn Almanac ( A classic, “Crawly caterpillars” and all.
9.Kiiiiiii-4 little joeys ( Mad Japanese ladies, nuts)
10. Kinoco Hotel -キノコホテル ( Hot Japanese ladies, 60s influences)
11. Kyary Pamyu Pamyu- Mottai Nightland ( Japanese icon lady, colourful)
12. The Kokessies -I am fine ( Saving the best till last, I love this long lost Japanese “folk” band so much, they are just soooooo Kawaii !).
Playlist here – https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l-RXx-Wllv4&list=PLjhQua39mNprOf08c7kosIP1nwT3NzT71
Oh and 13 would have been Katie Katty- Bad, bad, bad but, for some reason the video wouldn’t load. Might be restricted to Japan.
Hi, Pairubu. I can’t get past Track 4 on yours without YT erroring out. Will try again this evening.
Just tested it and it seems to work fine for me.
Sometimes the Japanese videos cause problems, I don’t know why.
Thanks for trying anyway !
No, it’ll be my PC. It’s thrown the equivalent of a teenager’s strop at how much work I’ve made it do today. I’m back on your list, starting at No.5, playing as I type. Like the riff!
If I’ve got this right, this should be a link to my first proper YT playlist:
K: From The Ridiculous To The Sublime
Entitled K: From The Ridiculous To The Sublime, it goes
Kiss – Strutter ’78
and
Krokus – Back Seat Rock & Roll
The early, simple-headed, teenage me.
King Kurt – Destination Zululand
Ah! Student days. 🙂
Killing Joke – Eighties
Jaz may be crackers, but he nailed that decade.
Lenny Kravitz – Always On The Run
Great version with Slash here.
Katrina And The Waves – Cry To Me
Bluesy.
B.B. King – How Blue Can You Get
Proper blues.
Kitchens Of Distinction – Gone World Gone
Can’t find ‘One Of Those Sometimes Is Now’ on YT.
Mark Kozelek – Rock ‘N’ Roll Singer
An AC/DC cover, natch, but MK is SO much more than that to me.
Bap Kennedy – Howl On.
Quietening it all down now.
King Creosote – Marguerita Red
Kenny had to be in there somewhere.
Kronos Quartet – Xibalba
With Clint Mansell on writing duties, & Mogwai contributing.
Keith Kenniff – Portraits Pt.2
If you’re not chilled by now, you never will be!
As Carole said, “no edit function“, so I really hope this works: fingers crossed.
oops. Sorry, Shane. What did I do wrong?
not sure DsD – but I’ve edited it to a click-able list.
Ta.
K is a fairly restricted pool of talent in my collection (even more so than R was). So as well as donds already issued, I figure it’s OK for me to mention the relatively few artists I thought about but didn’t list – I WON’T be doing this for the ‘big’ letters, like B, C, T, etc.
Jeff Klein, Jess Klein, The Kaiser Chiefs, The Kane Gang, King, Paul Kossoff and Chris Knight missed out. I figured (correctly) that classics from the likes of The Kingsmen, Ben E. King, Kool & The Gang, and The Kinks would show up anyway; and there are much bigger fans out there than me of bands like Kings Of Leon, Katzenjammer, Kraftwerk, Carole King and The Killers.
I am gonna sneak one more in though: a song I B-listed on one of my RR Guru stints:
Israel Kamakawiwo’ole – Somewhere Over the Rainbow
Call me an old softie, but this is just gorgeous.
that is such a beautiful version of wonderful song. A sad story for such a talented artist.
i actually thought of it, and was expecting to see it on Ubu’s list.
Ah, you mentioned one of the acts/artists that I thought of but didn’t list – The Kane Gang. I nearly nommed “The Closest Thing To Heaven”.
The only Krokus song I remember was Bedside Radio because I bought the 7″ in my Heavy Metal days.
If you still have it, go check the B-side. The 12″ of Bedside Radio had two songs on the reverse:
Back Seat Rock & Roll
and
Lady Double Dealer
long gone, either tossed out during a house move or sold for 10p at a car boot sale.
Oh, and that artwork brings back some painful memories. K cider is, I seem to remember, about 8.2%, and was my first exposure to white cider, in December 1983. More than that, I’m not prepared to recall!
Of course, it’s K Cider not Blue WKD. Yeah, I remember that. Or rather I don’t remember it – wicked stuff. Stronger than Frosty Jack even and not as Tramp Juicy
What about White Lightning cider? 7.5% ABV
DarceysDad, donds to Killing Joke of course, hadn’t heard King Kurt for ages! I missed out on Kitchens of Distinction, off to Spotify to listen to some more now, really varied list!
Kitchens Of Distinction (nominees in the category of ‘Worst Named Band Ever’) are one of those acts I’d never even heard of until I was pointed at them on RR. Can’t remember who to give credit to, though. severin? barbryn? Proudfoot or Mark68, maybe. I know bish loves ’em, but I’m fairly sure my intro to them was before he joined RR.
Kitchens will deffo be on my list. (And yes, I think someone pre-me headed you in their direction – I know their Breathing Fear was A-listed before I joined da community.)
murphsup got them A listed in the RRSA: homosexuality back in 2007 – I got my first B listing in that theme I think. (with broken social scene).
Korn – Y’all Want a Single
Kyuss – Born to Hula
Killing Joke – Millenium
Kingsmen – Louie Louie
BB King – The Thrill is Gone
Kool and the Gang – Jungle Boogie
Kelis – Milkshake
Evelyn Champagne King – Love Come Down
Katrina and the Waves – Walking on Sunshine
Jorma Kakounen – Genesis
Kitchens of Distinction – Prize
Carole King – Tapestry
Kula Shakur – Tattva (thanks, Beth)
King Crimson – Exiles
I’ve never really investigated Korn, quite like that track though. We’re an eclectic bunch here, aren’t we?
i wouldn’t be surprised if they maybe showed up on DsD’s list. I like them for some guilty pleasure fun. The did cover the Floyd’s entire The Wall album, which was interesting. And made not all that bad of a job of it either.
Korn a bit too nu-metal for my liking (says the man with big enough brass balls to put Krokus on his list without blushing)!
i know of Krokus but not much else. But KISS does take some BBs. (you and Chinny may be their only fans).
We both picked Milkshake but different Carole King numbers! Donds for Louie, Louie and how could I have forgotten Katrina and the Waves? – donds for that too.
there are a few Carole King covers i have on deck for other letters….
Hi amylee my favourite Korn track is Freak on a Leash, purely for the video, but donds anyway for that and Kelis (not really admitting to liking that but I do secretly)
The best part about this game is being able to shoehorn all of our guilty pleasures and the rubbish tunes that we like onto a playlist. I’m proud to like shit tunes! Nearly got Kid Rock onto my list.
k-play-list HERE
Albert King – Born Under A Bad Sign
Al Kooper – I Love You More Than You’ll Ever Know
Katzenjammer – To The Sea
King Creosote – I’ll Fly By The Seat Of My Pants
Tom Klose – Born A Lion
Nils Koppruch – Armer Junge Weint, Armes Mädchen Auch
Jean Knight – Do Me
Frederick Knight – Pick’Em Up Put’Em Down
Carole King – Beautiful
Kronos Quartet feat. Asha Bhosle) – Ekta Deshlai Kathi Jalao (Light A Match)
Melina Kala – Milo gia sena (I Tell Of You)
The Kinks – All Day An All Of The Night
and a special bonus track with much silliness, because I can’t get enough silliness at the moment: Philippe Katherine La Reine d’Angleterre
For not obvious entries above: Tom Klose is a local singer/songwriter I’ve been listening out for ever since TheBoyWonder got to play support at a gig of his; the late Nils Koppruch might seem familiar, I chose that song for one of my Festive Spill top 3’s a couple of years back; Katzenjammer I didn’t like at all the first time I heard them (sorry, severin!), probably I was expecting to be knocked away by them, I’d heard so much good about them – but they’ve grown on me greatly since catching a live broadcast; Melina Kana is a Greek singer with such a beautiful voice; my Kinks’ choice was greatly aided by the lack of accessible youtube links own our way; Kronos Quartet is from the album ‘You’ve Stolen My Heart – Songs From R.D. Burman’s Bollywood’; and my Stax collection finally gets an airing! Have a listen, I hope you’ll enjoy.
think I’ve got it neater!
My hero!
And Debby has nommed another act I thought of but didn’t – Al Kooper.
Kinks – Waterloo Sunset
Killers – Mr Brightside
Ben E King – Stand By Me
Kryspy 3 – Destroy All The Stereotypes
Kaiser Chiefs – I Predict a Riot
Chaka Khan – Ain’t Nobody
Carole King – You’ve Got a Friend
The Kingsmen – Louie Louie
Klark Kent – Don’t Care
Kool and the Gang – Get Down On It
Frankie Knuckles – Tears
Evelyn King – Shame
Kleeer – Tonight’s the Night
dond for the Killers, forgot all about them.
I forgot about them too, love quite a few Killers tracks, they seem to have gone off the boil lately, I didn’t choose Kings of Leon although I loved Molly’s Chambers when it came out because of their recent dull stuff.
and for the other great Evelyn King song.
Oh yes! Frankie Knuckles – Tears top track. Blimey, that takes me back. Going to steal your idea and put Your Love in mine.
It’s funny how soul/disco music brings all the girls out !
I was just about to mention Frankie Knuckles – betterl slink back to the edge with my back to the wall and watch the slinky moves from there – heehee
Klark Kent – Stewart Copeland’s 7″ of green vinyl feigned indifference: ace.
Donds for the first three 🙂
oh and the fifth – snap
Had trouble posting earlier on…this could be it……
suzi’s elastic bands : K
The version of Maki Madni (or Madani) isn’t the one I have, which doesn’t seem to have a Youtube link – but I did like this version and preferred it to others online. I couldn’t get the lyrics translated into English but I believe that the title means ‘joyful noise’ – which is the feeling that it gives. I could probably have filled the entire list with Kraftwerk and the Kinks quite happily, but variety is better (I’ve heard) so I chose two favourites from them plus some others I liked!
Kraftwerk – Mitternacht
Kaiser Chiefs -I Predict a Riot
Lenny Kravitz – Are You Gonna Go My Way?
Kelis – Milkshake
Ben E King – Stand By Me
Carole King – It’s Too Late
Kinks – Days
Kardemimmit – Huoleton rakkauslaulu
Kid Creole and the Coconuts – Annie, I’m Not Your Daddy
Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan – Maki Madni
I have added to the list…..The Kinks, Sunny Afternoon
The I was going to add another Kraftwerk but it was difficult to decide when suddenly – headslap time! Aaarrghh ….or possibly, Arrrrrr……I remembered something I was going to add for sure if K came up –
Kevin Kline – The Pirate King’s Song from G & S’s Pirates of Penzance
Then I found the version of Maki Madni that I have on my ipod. It’s long – over 17 minutes – and more authentic and traditional….and also, I think, more joyous…It’s Sufi music and in the end it seems to have almost a hypnotic effect.
Arrrggghhh – have now realised what I did wrong, too late, sorry!
all in one place now – I hope.
Thanks so much, saneshane. Yes, it looks fine now. You are my knight in shining armour!
Sorry for the dodgy-looking link, it DOES work. And I can’t believe I haven’t got Chaka Khan on that list anywhere.
Chaka was firmly in my thinking, but I think that was as much for matters, er, non-musical as much as the list of songs I could’ve picked.
😉
i had Rufus on my R’s last week so i figured i could go without Chaka this week.
Your private life’s your own, Amy!
Crap. Forgot to close the second blockquote after “week”.
get off my tits 😉
I will, before I lower the tone even further! Apologies everyone, I’m having one of those frustrating office chase-’em-up days, and this thread has formed some much-appreciated light relief between phone calls and emails.
never apologize for having fun.
hopefully Gladys Knight makes someone’s list. Midnight Train to Georgia could have been on mine.
Ooh look, she made mine!
oh yes!!!
Hope have not overloaded the blog. More apologies.
Here are mine. Possibly even more ‘pop’ than usual:
Parvati Khan: Jimmy Jimmy Ajaa
Mory Kante: Yeke Yeke
KLF: Justified And Ancient
Chaka Khan: Ain’t Nobody
Gladys Knight & The Pips: Baby Don’t Change Your Mind (yes, I know it should be Midnight Train…)
Nick Kamen: I Promised Myself (shut up you, it’s a CHOON!)
Keane: Everybody’s Changing
The Killers: Read My Mind
Kelis: Milkshake
Kenickie: I Would Fix You
Kitchens of Distinction: Polaroids
King Creosote: And The Racket They Made (really not, DsD?)
Salif Keita: Bobo
bish’s elastic K bands
I’m surprised you’re first with Kenickie.
Re King Creosote: And The Racket They Made, Your Own Spell, Bats In The Attic, and 678 are higher up my iTunes No.of Plays list, but you all already know about me & the first three, and 678 didn’t really flow in that position in my playlist, which is largely chronological.
[You sad pedant, DsD. – Ed.]
And bishbosh nommed the third artists I didn’t list – SAlif Keita.
There are a lot of good Ks, I think.
There are more than I was expecting. On a first thresh through my iPod, I had to discard Ini Kamoze, Kraftwerk, Janet Kay’s Silly Games, er KC & The Sunshine Band…
Thought you (Carole) might have put up King Sunny Ade (if that even counts as K)
oh, KC & the Sunshine Band!
crap, i had Ina Kamoze backwards for I. that would have most definitely made my list.
How could you discard Kraftwerk Bishbosh? (shakes head sadly)
I know, I know… (Mainly it’s because I’m not a fan per se and I felt choosing them would be borderline-pretentious/dishonest coming from me. Like anyone else would judge!)
(But I’d have probably gone with Tour de France.)
I don’t think anyone would know! I came late to Kraftwerk, via my son-in-law – previously I knew The Model and Tour de France and maybe one or two others but that was about it. Now I really love their stuff and I was lucky enough to see them last year at the Tate – coincidentally, it was the day that they concentrated on Tour de France, although they played things from other albums too, including Autobahn.
Playlist later. A couple of my choices have been taken already but I’m going with them anyway:
Keen – Darker Glasses
Keen – Missed The Point
Kinks – Lola
Kraftwerk – Showroom Dummies
Janet Kay – Silly Games
Evelyn Champagne King – Shame
Kuricorder Quartet – Nellie The Elephant
KLF – 3 am Eternal
Killing Joke – War Dance
Katzenjammer – To The Sea
Katzenjammer – Cocktails and Ruby Slippers
Katzenjammer – Rock Paper Scissors
Katzenjammer – God’s Great Dust Storm
Are we supposed to look and see if a tune’s already ‘gone’ before we post? Oops, the thought never entered my universe…
I am a teeny bit disappointed that you’ve not gone for a ‘tfd’ with Katzenjammer, severin!
I was sorely tempted but Keen is the band my sister was in and I could hardly fail to include them. Not on Youtube sadly.
Oh and I don’t think there’s any problem with duplication.
The (partial) playlist
sans Keen, sadly, but you can read about them HERE! and hear Missed the Point if you click on the link on that page (in blue near the bottom). They’ve mis-titled it for some reason.
Oh and the Kuricorder’s version of Nellie isn’t on Youtube so I bunged their rendition of “I’ve Just Seen a Face” on instead.
I forgot Katzenjammer but then I only really discovered them when doing my Inheritance playlist! Must investigate them further!
No where near as many K’s as I should have by the look of some of the other posts. I’ve got some good listening to do.
Karsh Kale – Distance.
Kiaser Chiefs – Oh My God.
King Creosote – Bubble.
Khaled – Wahrane, Wharane.
Kasabian – West Ryder Silver Bullet.
Kodo – Zoku. (Live at the Acropolis).
King Crimson – One More Red Nightmare.
Kinks – Waterloo Sunset.
Killers – Good Night, Travel Well.
bluepeter’s K’s
Immediate thoughts are:
Kings of Leon – Crawl – not too recent bethnoir, but I’m quite a fan of their new “dull” stuff as well as this track and their early works 😉
Lenny Kravitz – Black Velveteen
Kasiabian – L.S.F.
Kinks – Waterloo Sunset (third nom this week – very popular)
Kaiser Chiefs – I Predict A Riot (listed for las)
Killers – All These Things That I’ve Done
The Kooks – She Moves in Her Own Way
Kris Kristofferson – Sunday Mornin’ Comin’ Down
The Knack – My Sharona
BB King – Sweet Sixteen
Oh go on then I’ll have another Kings of Leon track of their current “dull” album – Comeback Story
and another one from Lenny – American Woman oh and Fly Away whilst I’m at it.
play list to follow.
can I have another! please can I have another; Ben E. King Stand By Me
Thank you.
You may, as long as you don’t mind duplicating me! (I don’t mind at all!!)
apologies, leaveitallbehind9, I am happy that other people enjoy the King’s of Leon’s recent output, it’s just not for me, didn’t mean to be judgmental!
not at all bethnoir if you can’t voice an honest opinion here where can you. I’d be the first to agree it’s very different (more commercial) than their early stuff but I do like it just as much.
And how did I forget the Knack?
Silent K innit.
Kayz
Have changed the Kasabian nomination to Clubfoot and omitted duplicate noms. Enjoy.
clubfoot – yeah!
a young hillage was in a band called Khan ( stranded )
of all the King’s has anyone done Ben E King and Stand by Me
Albert Hideaway BB Sweet Sixteen and the Crims with Starless
Kinks sunny afternoon – ‘cos i’m one for lazin’
Whoops, just came back to post that and THEN read your post, I’ll take Spanish Harlem than.
the earth stood stilland the band Klaatu were somehow involved in the Paul is dead rumours – maybe he was singing with them from beyond the mersey
i don’t suppose a Mr Kilminster has even worked under his own name
in the British Blues boom a Dave Kelly & Danny Kirwan are worth a mention but I can’t name a song off the top of me head … … a sister of one .. Jo_Ann Kelly with i feel so good
the Knack my cherona ( whatever one of them is ) Kossoff Molten Gold
and the Kursall Flyers third finger left hand
Kilburn & the High Roads ( billy bentley perhaps ) Kippington Lodge was Nick Lowe & Brinsley Schwarz first band ( shy boy?) Wayne Kramer & Mindbenders ( possibly bend me shake me ) Sonja Kristina … has set me off on a train of thought
killdozer – hi there
king of the slums – simpering blonde bombshell
killing joke – love like blood
kong – leather penny
kings of convenience – toxic girl
koufax – why bother at all
king blank – blind box
kitchens of distinction – the 3rd time we opened the capsule
the kills – cats claw
kyuss – green machine
killdozer – knuckles the dog (who helps people)
Ks
another great Killing Joke song and the same Kyuss as me! Nice list 🙂
both immense tracks. i play love like blood every pub visit on the jukebox! only got to 11 with two killdozers. could have tried harder i guess. not looked through the thread yet and checked the lists.
Krikey, a kornucopia of kracking ktunes this kweek.
Forgot about Mory Kante, Salif Keita, King Krimson and ,Cheb Khaled ( how could I forget Cheb !) .
That’ll teach me to rely on my i-Pod !
Another Kris K nom, great.
The best K band I ever saw were Kid Khaki and the Karamojos, a local outfit from the early eighties. But I don’t think there are any recordings. They were so full of energy and invention, I’m smiling just remembering.
Otherwise, I’m pretty much left with (several) Kinks, BB King and Kid Creole and the Coconuts….
“Should be a player with 13 tracks from one band this week”
Me? Briefly considered it, but here’s my eclectic playlist featuring a grand total of 5 bands…if it works!
wyngatecarpenter elastic bands K
Almost – all I can say is I followed Shane’s instructions to the letter.
Kill Pretty – Rob A Bank
Would have gone for a different track but none of the ones I wanted are on youtube. This is catchy though
Klaxon – eSseTiOeRreIA
Italian Oi off an Oi Against Racism compilation.Can’t tell you much else but it’s surprisingly tuneful
Keyside Strike – In This World
I wanted to go for Chavageddon but again the studio version isn’t up, this is very anthemic though
Killing Joke – Pssyche
Beth got my favourite first but this is almost as good
Killjoys – Naive
Threw this one on for fun, not my favourite punk band but the singer went on to better thigs, didn’t he Bish?
CaroleB covered most of my Ks and Kudos due for that, particularly KC & CK but Dagmar is also my darlinK and somethinK from TanK Battles might have been my picK.
To the colleKKtive above Komments I would of course say in true RR flyby style “Kan’t believe no one has mentioned the old Fela yet! He was a Cutie.
