Much the same from me I think, Shlomo sounds interesting though...
I think there might be a Sean Paul/Doherty duet somewhere too ......

Hello Music Lovers,
So here I am back for another series with an embarrassment of riches of artists and musicians for your musical delectation!
Joining me on the first show of the new series is one of the most important composers and song writers of the 20th Century. His career has spanned six decades! BURT BACHARACH has been responsible for dozens of standards and songs that would certainly make up a definitive song book of the 20th Century. Burt will be performing tracks from his new studio album, ‘At This Time’ and will be joined by Rufus Wainwright on one of the tracks from this album; “Go Ask Shakespeare. I’ll also be chatting to Burt and showing some fantastic BBC archive footage of Aretha Franklin performing a classic Burt Bacharach and Hal David composition.
Alison Goldfrapp is fast becoming the face of 2005, and with musical partner Will Gregory they make up GOLDFRAPP. This is the third time that Goldfrapp will have been on Later and I must say that I am confident that Alison and the band will inject some intense glamour into proceedings!
Who else do I have on the show!?
EDITORS from Birmingham borrow from the tradition of Joy Division, Echo & The Bunnymen and even U2 to create their own wall of moody sound. They will be performing “Bullets” and “Munich” from their critically well received debut album ‘The Back Room’.
BRENDAN BENSON hails from Michigan but is now based in the sunshine state of California. Brendan and his band play songs with an uplifting sentiment that put a smile on your face and give you a warm feeling inside. Brendan will be playing tracks from his current album ‘The Alternative To Love’.
Twenty six year old CORINNE BAILEY RAE comes from Leeds but sounds as though she should come from the Mississippi Delta, her voice has been described as a cross between Billie Holiday and Eryka Badu. Corinne will be performing her forthcoming single “Like A Star”.
I’ll also be performing with a hot new young talent, JAMIE LIDELL. Jamie has been described as having a nu soul voice. He’s currently residing in Berlin hanging out with the musical cognoscenti of that fine city and his voice has to be seen to be believed.
So that’s all for now, coming up next week I have ARCTIC MONKEYS, MYLO, JOSEPH ARTHUR and MS. DYNAMITE.

Tonight: I’m delighted to welcome back DAVID GRAY. 1998’s ‘White Ladder’ sold in
excess of six million copies and firmly ensconced David in the nations
psyche as a talented and entertaining songwriter. He’s back with a new
number one album called ‘Life In Slow Motion’ and he’ll be performing
hits from this fabulous album such as “The One I Love” in the studio.
Bright young things THE RAKES are fast emerging as one of the most
exciting young London bands to come through in recent years. Lead singer
Alan Donohoe dances and sings like Ian Curtis on speed and their angular
and catchy songs are fast becoming indie anthems.
Making her debut UK TV appearance is Jerusalem born YASMIN LEVY. She
revives the most beautiful and romantic songs from the Ladino /
Judeo-Spanish heritage and mixes it with Andalusian Flamenco. She has a
beautiful haunting quality to her voice that’s not to be missed.
THE NATIONAL are five native Ohians who currently reside in New York.
They write melodic and beautiful tunes about 30-something confusion.
There’s two sets of siblings in the band as well and believe it or not
this appearance on Later will be the first time that they’ve ever been on
the telly!
Sheffield born and bred RICHARD HAWLEY, could well be Britain's finest
songwriter. But he insists his mind is full only with "confused
thoughts and Guinness". When he sings, he does so in a voice that's deep and
low.
And last but not least, with my RHYTHM & BLUES BAND I’ll be joined
legendary soul singer, the King of Soul, SOLOMON BURKE!
Next week make sure you tune in to see a compilation of all best
British bands that have been on Later in the past few years. Later Cool
Britannia 2 will be on Friday 2nd December at 11.35pm on BBC 2.
TUNE IN THIS WEEK !
FRIDAY 25th November on BBC 2 at 11.35pmYAY for Richard Hawley, The Rakes and possibly The National(they sound interesting to me), but BOOOOO to the Rhythm & Blues Boogie-Woogie fest - we get enough of that on the Hootenanny!

The last time I saw Solomon Burke live was at the RAH about 18 months ago. He was enormous and was wheeled out onto the stage in a wheelchair/throne kind of get-up, sadly. He's the only act I'm really looking forward to this evening, although the traditional Ladino/Sephardic singer sounds interesting..... Oh, and The Rakes are truly dire. I shall go and make an espresso while they're on, or I might just punch the telly and blow my hand off, eheh. Listen to Wire instead, kids! You know it makes sense.

I like the 22 Grand Job single, but The Rakes didn't impress live last night. The bit I enjoyed most was Richard Hawley. I'd love to have seen more from him, instead of the self-indulgent celeb-chatting from Jools - WTF was Jeremy Vine given airtime for??! Solomon was ok, and I liked the performance from Yasmin Levy, I wasn't sure I would at the start but she drew me in. I was rather shocked that I ended up loving the second song that David Gray did.....'Ain't No Love' I think it was, it was beautiful, I thought. I enjoyed the National's melodic stuff too. I don't think this series has been as good as previous ones though, thinking back to Nick Cave et al last time.

Does anyone else think The National sound a bit like Achtung Baby-era U2? I do like them though.

I think that was quite possibly the worst Later for a long long time. Everyone was awful, barring the National and Yasmin Levy. Far too much time talking to pointless guests - Walters was fine (though it did drag on a bit) but really Roland sodding Rivron and Jeremy Vine? Join us next week for Kate Thornton and Bodger of 'Bodger and Badger' fame! Jools and his rhythm and blues orchestra once again made the same overblown noise they always do. David Gray does nothing to float my boat and the Rakes are pretty abysmal. Very poor. I'm not that hot on U2 so I wouldn't really be in a position to confirm your suggestion Husker.

*yawn*
just how many bands are there like this?
Please don't get me started on this one on a Sunday morning, Vanilla!!! OK, I saw Louis XIV supporting The Rakes some weeks ago. I was at the front of a fairly Koko for the (quite brilliant and far better than expected) live support slot (Louis XIV), but by the time The Rakes emerged the place was packed and I couldn't get out, so was crushed and forced to watch the talentless, unoriginal bstrds for 40 minutes. I didn't fancy asking a bouncer to drag me out over the barriers 'king TORTURE, I tell thee (yeah, line from what has become another interchangeable bland band). The Ian Curtis thing repulsed me. He controlled it on Jools. I just hope I never see the git in the street.  The worst live show for me of late - except for The Bravery (again at Koko) earlier in the year. Highlight of that evening had been spotting Gary Numan in the queue for the cloakroom at the end of the evening - end of the evening being the second highlight!!! What is with all these geek-chic derivative bands without an original idea of their own? Mixing three distinct sartorial styles of the era they so desperately wish they had experienced, they need to read up on their fashion notes too.

Yeah, me too. Highlights for me. I have sat through an entire performance of Solomon, and he is great (The Rakes aren't worthy of polishing his throne), but am not so sure I could sit through a whole performance of Ms Levy. That kind of fusion is right down my street, though. Would have been nice with a dancer or two in the background with her band in a darker, less exposed stage area IMO. All a bit too stark in that faux jazz cabaret setting! Liked The National, too. I have a couple of their tracks off some freebie music-mag compilations so had a listen beforehand. Visually/live they weren't what I had expected, but I liked them a lot. Good TV debut.
