Snapshots Spillover: More Haberdashery Songs

Bulldog Breed - Eileen's Haberdashery Store

Some items that were left over in the Haberdashery Shop after this weekend's Snapshots... 

The Big Bopper - Chantilly Lace

Dan Bern - Tape

Jethro Tull - Clasp

Bombay Bicycle Club - Magnet

Rosa Linn - Snap

Peter Lee Stirling - Goodbye Thimble Mill Lane

The Fall - Shoulder Pads

Southern Melody Boys (Odus & Woodrow) - Wind The Little Ball Of Yarn

The Sea And Cake - Sewing Machine

Ten Foot Faces - Pin Cushion

George Bean - Smile From Sequin


I used some of these items to create tomorrow's Namesakes...

...no  scrap that.  I changed the order of Namesakes.  Tomorrow's is far more topical.

About This Blog

Just the humble witterings of a middle-aged music fan from the north of England. I don't claim these lists to be definitive, I haven't heard every record ever produced (though I have heard a good number of them), I don't believe my opinion to be any more valid than yours.

I just like listening to old songs from my record collection and writing about them. Your recommendations are always welcome... if I've missed your favourite - let me know in the comments.
