When I'm putting Snapshot together, I try to get a mix of bands that haven't featured often before, which means that some of the usual suspects and old favourites end up on the operating room floor...
Manic Street Preachers - Roses In The Hospital
Frightened Rabbit - State Hospital
And then there are those less obvious contenders who I'm forced to leave out for no other reason than I doubt anybody would ever identify them.
The Amatones - Plastic Surgeon
The Veils - Night Thoughts Of A Tired Surgeon
Jad Fair & Yo La Tengo - X-Ray Reveals Doctor Left Wristwatch Inside Patient
But there were loads of leftovers this week. I guess everybody just loves singing about hospitals...
Joe Strummer & The Mescaleros - X-Ray Style
Trashcan Sinatras - The Therapist
That's the b-side of a song called Big Fanny. I don't know why I'm telling you that.
Jimmy Hughes - The Loving Physician
John Manning - Free Clinic Song
But we'll close today with an old favourite. I'm a big fan of the Robert Palmer version, but here's the original by the wonderful Moon Martin...
