I Clap My Hands Along

I’ve become weirdly nostalgic for the TV show Later with Jools Holland lately, in part due to watching re-runs on Ovation TV over here in America. For those unfamiliar with the show, it’s a (roughly) hour-long show wherein multiple musical acts of different genres and era perform live, each week - It’s not a particularly original format, but the choices of guests (and, in particular, the combination of, watching, say, Little Boots follow Eartha Kitt, who’s just herself followed Ladysmith Black Mombazo) and the performances make it required viewing. Even if it’s rare for an entire episode to keep my attention, it’s also rare for an episode to go by without me discovering a band or song I like, and didn’t know about before.

Here’re some examples of why I love the show so much:
