It was meant funny unlike the serious translation “Hartfelsen Kapelle”.

The Cock-tail Slippers - This Town (2026)
All-girl Norwegian band I discovered just recently, with a cool video filmed in Oslo. Check out the part that starts around 2:47. I had an afternoon be-er yesterday in front of this elevator, watching it going up and down. I’ve taken it myself, although that was back in the 1990’s.
And right now it’s my holiday

I think I’ll get down on my little ol’ knees and pray, thank you, Lord
Thank heaven for that holiday today, holiday
The Greek singer, bassist and (occasional) guitarist Artemios Ventouris-Roussos (1946-2015), better known as Demis Roussos, was born 80 years ago today. To his memory, this makes for a good opportunity to take a closer look at Aphrodite’s Child, arguably the best known Greek band in rock history.
Apart from Roussos (vocals and bass), Aphrodite’s Child consisted of Evangelos Papathanassiou (keyboards, 1943-2024) and Loukas Sideras (drums, 1944- ). The band played psychedelic pop/rock (with proto-prog leanings), a little akin to The Moody Blues and Procol Harum. Due to the dictorship in Greece in the late 1960’s, the band was based in Paris, were they had good success in parts of continental Europe for a couple of years.
Aphrodite’s Child’s second single got to number 1 in France, Italy and one of the Belgian charts (Wallonia). It also charted at number 2 in Norway, the Netherlands and Switzerland.
Aphrodite’s Child - Rain And Tears (1968)
Due to turmoil within the band during the recording of their third album, the very ambitious double album 666, Aphrodite’s Child split up in 1971, the year before the album was even released. Still, they had done pretty well, especially in France and Italy. It has been estimated they sold around 20 million records during these few years. The band had a few more chart toppers, among them the sixth single, who peaked at number 1 in the Netherlands.
Aphrodite’s Child - I Want To Live (1969)
After Aphrodite’s Child both Demis Roussos and Evangelos Papathanassiou (of course best known as Vangelis) went on to very succesful solo careers. And the inner turmoil in the band could not have been that bad, as Vangelis produced several of Demis Roussos’ solo albums.
I’ll end a Monday afternoon spent in company with Aphrodite’s Child’s music with one more song by them, and this one shows the band from a more rocking side.
Aphrodite’s Child - You Always Stand In My Way (1968)
Bonnie Tyler woke up out of her coma, but she is still very sick and all the dates are cancelled

Happy Birthday to the English singer and songwriter Iain Matthews, who is turning 80 today! He first came to notice when he joined the folk rock band Fairport Convention in 1967 as one of their vocalists. Just like Jefferson Airplane, the band had both a male and a female lead singer back then. This was just before Fairport released their debut album. Let us start with a track from this album, sung by Iain.
Fairport Convention - Time It Will Show the Wiser (1968)
After Three albums with them, Iain Matthews left Fairport in 1969, when the band began to incorporate more and more tradtional British folk into their music. He moved to America, and by the end of the year he released his first solo album Matthews’ Southern Comfort. This was his first experience recording as a songwriter.
This evolved into the band Matthews Southern Comfort, a band who released two records and toured extensively for for the next two years. The band had quite a bit of success, especially with their version of Joni Mitchell’s song Woodstock, which hit the charts at number 1 in the UK, as well as peaking at number 5 in Canada and number 23 in the US.
Matthews Southern Comfort - Woodstock (1970)
Iain Matthews left Matthews Southern Comfort in 1971. He released two more solo albums, before forming the band Plainsong. This band was short lived and released only one album before they split up. After that Iain Matthews has pursued a solo career, which has been rather lowkey compared to his first years in music. Still he has been able to keep up a good career, with touring and over 25 albums to his name. Perhaps it is about knowing how to play the game.
Iain Matthews - Knowing the Game (1974)
Iain Matthews is still active. He has done a few concerts in the past year, both in the US and in Europe. And he’s got one upcoming gig in September this year. So here’s a toast to Iain Matthews on his birthday ![]()
