There I was, all imagining that I'd already featured this titled chap on here before, but I was wrong. Still the best song on his latest album now has a video so if that isn't an excuse to rectify matters, I don't know what is. It includes zombies as well...

Soul on Sunday - The Exciters / Tell Him
Bit of a story behind this - apparently Dusty Springfield heard this and was inspired to record in a "soul style". Don't know whether that's true, but it is a nice story. I've been listening to a lot of this band recently, having just got hold of this excellent composition, so expect more Excitement in the coming weeks...

Latitude Youtubery - Hjaltalin
Clips are still appearing on Youtube, it would seem! Here's Hjaltalin doing something unpronounceable. They had to wait until Thom Yorke had finished on Sunday before they could come on and play the Uncut, but it was worth the wait!

Soul on Sunday - Mayer Hawthorne / Just Ain't Gonna Work Out
...and we're back with SoS after a short break (sorry!).
Something new here from Stones Throw records, I know nothing about this except what my ears tell me - that it's very good. And that it reminds me a little of Smokey Robinson's early post-miracles output.
Album out in September, apparently.

Latitude Youtubery - Juliette Commagere
Another new discovery, here is one of the early highlights from the first morning of Latitude, Juliette Commagere and her band doing Hearts.
Latitude Youtubery - Thomas Dybdahl
One of the best things about festivals is wondering around on the off chance that you discover a new favourite band and this act fall into that category. Listen out for some absolutely superb lap steel (I think that's what the instrument is called) to the left of the screen... the old boy playing it was just the coolest. The song is called "stay home"

Latitude Youtubery - The Mummers
The Mummers were on of the early highlights in the much improved Uncut arena on Friday. here they are doing a cover of Sleepyhead by Passion Pit. Unfortunately marred by a few sound problems...
Latitude Youtubery - The Vaselines
The Vaselines are now best known for being one of Kurt Cobain's favourite bands... Here they are doing a song he covered, Molly's Lips:
