No falling asleep on the job this week and waking up and finding out Friday’s gone and Saturday’s in its place.

This week I’ve been quite excited (yet again) over listening to the new offering – Hawk – from Isobel Campbell and Mark Lanegan (whose name must be spoken in hushed tones in this house). A review will follow just as soon as we know which song we can post. All I can say is that, as ever, the Special One does not disappoint.

Well back to old stuff. After MM posted a song a few weeks back by Howe Gelb and a Band of Gypsies (interesting use of the indefinite article there – a band of gypsies: perhaps they were just passing through?) Anyway, I digress. MM and I were chatting about Howe, Giant Sand and his fairly prolific back catalogue of music. Both of us share a favourite Giant Sand track, Shiver, which we have posted, but was sadly lost with the old blog.

So at the risk of repeating myself, here we go again. Go shimmy with your favourite person to this rather special Friday song.
