The Coral - Live Videos

I recently found a slew of live Coral videos on YouTube. There's some pretty great rare stuff on there like this wild performance of Follow the Sun which was a b-side to Dreaming of You. I wish the Coral would put out more songs like this these days. I also really liked the live version of Time Travel. They end it with a cover of Bob Marley's Get Up, Stand Up which I'm not really a fan of, but it sounds cool because it fits right into the end part of Time Travel.

Payong Mukda - Klong Yao























From Subliminal Sounds Thai Beat A-Go-Go compilation, here's the opening track. A crazy instrumental beat number that doesn't really sound like anything typical from it's time. The blending of modern American beat music of the time and traditional Thai music fuse together to form something completely original and different sounding. Although labeled as "Kratae" by the group Johnny Guitar on the compilation, the track is apparently actually called "Klong Yao" by the group Payong Mukda meaning "pocket music."
