Edwyn Collins - "Do It Again": SXSW 2011 Showcasing Artist

[Trazy2]

Just a great song, in these days of standard boring *always-the-same* pop music...

[Hisashibeta]

FODASTICO!

[jmbtotal]

I just love it. Extraordinary and authentic sound of the 60's. Cool. Great tribute to the 60's

[DiscolaMadkitten]

This is such a great song, deserved a great looking video like this. Why hasn't Edwyn been knighted yet!?

[daypeshmodd]

@johnnyzoomThis is awesome! But can you or someone else plz tell me what happened to him exactly? I was a huge fan back in the 80s and also later, but it's the first I see of what's become of him since Gorgeous George, and I've seen a few recent vids now, where he seems somewhat paralysed, which I find terribly sad.

[bryemycaz]

@daypeshmodd In 2005 he collapsed due to a brain hemmorage. It left him partially paralysed on the right hand side. He was lucky to survive the hemmorage and had a lengthy reahbilation.

[daypeshmodd]

@bryemycaz Yes Thx! I know all about it now. I started doing research the day after I posted that comment. I ended up suscribing to his site & there's a couple of things I wouldn't mind buying there (or rather somewhere else, if possible): first, the big Orange Juice boxset, and I'd like to read Grace Maxwell's book (his wife & manager), Falling and Laughing, which is about the whole 2005 ordeal

[DoogeMeister]

@daypeshmodd I'd really recommend the book, it's not a pleasant read by any means but it shows you what an amazing woman Grace is and what a fighter Edwyn is.

[daypeshmodd]

@DoogeMeister Thx! I don't buy online so I already have been searching for the book for a while& I can only imagine it's not a pleasnt read He was very young to go through 2 strokes! Definitely interested though!

Btw, I'm also looking for the Box Set, Even Edwyn's site doesn't have it anymore, they might be out of order, although I always hesitated cos I don't know if the dvd can be played here (in Québec)...and I never found any indication of that in the FAQ.

[MrBluesMartinez]

Nice nice nice and again again again that music....

[tkdcoach]

Epic.

[PerritodelaPradera]

Alex looks really good with that mustache o.o xDD

Love this song!

[CobaiaVox]

[uponcloudnine]

Great video, fantastic song and ultimate legends performing it

[frizzboo123]

I saw this on NME today and though it was rather amazing.. this needs more credit!

[raudiboy]

ich bin nicht unbedingt ein Fan von Edwyn Collins und hab auch schon lange nichts von ihm gehört...doch dieser Song ist hörenswert
