Conor Mason – Passing Colours

jaystansfield — Fri, 25 Nov 2011 09:08:30 +0000

Some artists just get me everytime and Conor Mason is no exception. I’ve been following his work for a while now and he just seems to get better and better. Writing songs that are catchy, well written, well produced with a really classic sound akin to some of the slower songs from artists like The Flaming Lips, Fleet Foxes and Elliott Smith spreading into more upbeat tunes like ‘5AM‘. Man I love this tune- i must have listened to it a hundred times since i first discovered it. I highly recommend you listen to his music more often because he’s going to big and remember folks- you heard it here first…

Here’s the newest Conor Mason offering ‘Passing Colours’ and believe me it’s a crackin’ tune

Aliens, latex, sexy girls and geeks

Sat in the Dark

jaystansfield — Wed, 17 Aug 2011 18:32:30 +0000

I was sat in the dark with a humming sound above my head,

I thought it was a memory but instead it was a gorilla,

He was floating above me I could sense his weight,

Looking down on me, humming, the instrumental version of ‘Thriller’,

But the lack of light distorted my vision and instead of making appropriate provisions to move away,

The gorilla fell on me and crushed my ribs,

That was the end of my rainy day.

Flume by Bon Iver

jaystansfield — Fri, 12 Aug 2011 20:17:39 +0000

This song is so close to the heart in many ways that the decision to cover it was hard to make…the decision, after months of thinking, arrived in the heart and the microphones were taken out of their cases and set up ready to record. So here it is- ‘Flume’ covered by Jay Stansfield. Hope the fans enjoy it- it was lovely to record and if you have never heard Bon Iver or any of their releases then I highly recommend you do so immediately.

Review: Zun Zun Egui – ‘Fandango Fresh’

jaystansfield — Fri, 22 Jul 2011 12:07:52 +0000

Artist: Zun Zun Egui
Release: Fandango Fresh
Label: Bella Union Records
Year: 2011

I stumbled upon some music the other day in my search for something fresh and exciting and I discovered it on Soundcloud which I just had to share. Bella Union Records have done it again and signed yet another fine musical outfit going by the name of Zun Zun Egui. I asked the guys at Bella Union when the Zun Zun Egui album ‘Katang’ would be out and they said in a couple of months. They meant the 3rd of October 2011 it seems from the fine info over on their website. So I wait in anticipation of an album which, if this track ‘Fandango Fresh’ is anything to go by, will sound like some of my favourite bands all blended into one. Sounding like The Ex meets US Maple and a little like Shellac in places with sprinklings of XTC and even Talking Heads I’m hoping this album will be something special. If Bella Union keep this up they may slip into the realms of ‘best label ever’ and rightly deserved at that.

Page One from a comic called 'The Remote Viewer' which I began too long ago...

I once only had half a body

jaystansfield — Tue, 14 Jun 2011 12:59:44 +0000

I once only had half a body,
I would jump as high as I could,
And whenever I landed I bounced like a ball,
And my entrails slapped hard and splashed blood.

I once only had half a body,
But now I’m a full man again,
Since the legs I now have allow me to run,
To the shops I now go- let’s go men!
