Splinters Of Sound

Some Yoko Ono for you today. Don't panic, its from the commercial end of her repertoire (or what passes for commercial for Yoko). Both tracks are from 1973's "Approximately Infinite Universe" album.

"Catman (The Rosies Are Coming)" - Yoko Ono

"I Felt Like Smashing My Face In A Clear Glass Window" - Yoko Ono

I wonder if Yoko smashing windows was one of the sounds of breaking glass that Nick Lowe liked? If they had met, fallen in love and married in some alternative infinite universe she might have been called Yoko Ono-Lowe or even just Yoko Lowe. It feels like a missed opportunity.

Just be grateful I dropped the bit about them going on honeymoon in the Caribbean so Nick could sing "Yoko Lowe" to the tune of "Kokomo".

    Phew, lucky escape!

    I've not heard this album before but, on the strength of Catman, I think I prefer Yoko Ono's caterwauling period...

  2. The far out 'Mind Train' is my favourite of Yoko's tunes.
