Bolton's finest, Damon Gough (aka Badly Drawn Boy), slipped up on my iTunes today, and it was a song I haven't heard in a very long time. I do like it when that happens as it makes you smile for some inexplicable reason and then you just realise you are sat in work grinning. Badly Drawn Boy is an interesting character, when he isn’t causing trouble trying to get a crowd to do a Mexican wave during a tsunami appeal concert, he stands on stage and sings his little woolly hat off. The one problem that I have with Badly Drawn Boy is his recorded material; he very rarely translates his music well to record. Where we have over-recorded songs we should just have Damon himself in a room with a guitar and harmonica at a push. That was always why his radio recordings album was a family favourite on my iTunes. Here a few select cuts

Badly Drawn Boy – Once Around the Block (BBC Session)
Badly Drawn Boy – The Shining (XFM Session)
Badly Drawn Boy – Cause a Rockslide (BBC Session)
Badly Drawn Boy – Pissing in the Wind (BBC Session)

The last song for this post is another Badly Drawn Boy song, this time with a band, a very special band. This is Roadmovie which was recorded with Doves as backing, oooooh

Badly Drawn Boy - Roadmovie (BBC Session)
