Meh.

Too drunk to post link

Listening to Get some Sleep, Bic Runga.

Forgot how beautiful it is.

Maybe post costal bliss. Hmm, bit of auto correct.

You could Google it. Then move back to 3 days Grace.

Ohh Heavenly Pop Hit just came on. I'm 19 and jumping up and down in a sweaty bar.

[F5 Dave]

Each evening the sun sets in five billion places
Seen by ten billion eyes set in five billion faces
Then they close in a daze and wait for the dawning
But the daylight and sunrise are brighter in our eyes
Where night cannot devour golden solar power

Once we were damned, now I guess we are angels
For we passed through the dark and eluded the dangers
Then awoke with a start to startling changes
All the tension is ended, the sentence suspended
And darkness now sparkles and gleams

And it all seems larger than life to me
I find it rather hard to believe

And so I stand and the sound goes straight through my body
I'm so bloated up, happy, I can throw things around me
And I'm growing in stages and have been for ages
Just singing and floating and free

Oh (Dum dum, da de da da)
Dum de dum dum, dum de dum dum
It's a heavenly pop hit if anyone wants it
Oh (Dum dum, da de da da)
Dum de dum dum, dum de dum dum
It's a heavenly pop hit
It's something that we're humming as we etc

[F5 Dave]

When he watched Jane's Brother sell the house, he felt no sense of loss. More like a mountain climber, looking back, having made it across the steepest pass.

Epic sax on bakers street, that's why it's survived to this day.

It reminds me of other great sax songs like Al whatshisname Year of the Cat ....
... or Mr Saxobeat.

Found an old iPod in box of used computer bits that were returned for scrapping. Charged it up and its full of music. Including this:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tk2-9taZEvM

I've got them broke down Harley Davidson blues
I started out with this basket case
I thought I'd made quite a find
I paid my money and took the thing home
Folks thought I was outta my mind
Cussin' and kickin' I got the thing runnin'
Headed down the road with my motor just a-gunnin'
There came a knockin' noise down by my shoe
I've got them broke down Harley Davidson blues
I pulled off the road and got to a station
And no one could figure out what in tarnation
Was makin' that knockin' noise down deep in her soul
So, I twisted and I tightened and pounded and turned
But the man shook his head and said
"Well, I think she's burned"
Sittin' by the road with a handful of screws
I've got the broke down Harley Davidson blues
Sittin' by the side ponderin' my fate
When up pulls a man, and I'm tryin' to look straight
Walked right up to me with a big old frown on his face
He said, "Boy, you get this here pile of junk
Low down rusty piece of funk
And call someone and have it moved from this place"
I've got them broke down Harley Davidson blues
"Say, boy, you got a license?
Sure hope you got papers on that thing
You don't have no warrants out on ya?"
"Uhh"
"Get this thing outta here, now hear?"
"Uh-huh"
"All of the way"

A few years back I'd fallen asleep listening to the BBC. I awoke in the small hours to hear someone likening an accoustic guitar player to Jimi Hendrix. That's a long bow to draw. I noted the name Antonio Forcione and ordered a CD. (I did say it was a few years ago.) I've just been playing the CD in the car again which reminded me.

He is certainly a talent.

If you like listening to proper (late 60s / 70s) and even later stuff, there is a website that streams the Bill Grahams Filmore concerts among other things. $3.99/mo seems a small price to pay for these gems www.wolfgangs.com (wolfgang was Grahams birth name)

Has it improved any over time or is it the same self-indulgent tosh it's always been?

Yoko Ono was the best thing to happen to the Beatles. The peaked in 1958 playing in Hamburg with Pete Best and Stu Sutcliffe. Downhill all the way after that.

The album Love Over Gold
by Dire Straits is 40 years
old today.

( let's see if F5 Dave puts in his 2 cents worth? )

[F5 Dave]

Funny we were talking about this on Friday night. Making Movies was their last decent album before they turned into an American Shmeltz Machine. Love over gold was dreadful Radio housewife music.

But changing the subject. My wife has wanted a Chaise Lounge since we moved in. She'd just found one a few days after HDC posted Wet Leg clip. Now not a day goes by that my wife or 11yr old daughter doesn't sing a few verses smiling and giggling.

Thanks HDC.

[F5 Dave]

And that was the problem with the 80s. Actual decent songs that made it to radio, like I dunno, Sultans of Swing or Stairway to Heaven were so overplayed that they became poison to the ear, alongside the usual dross like everything Phil Collins did after he stopped being a pretty decent drummer and started writing lyrics.

Geez student radio was the only path to non commercial cynical marketing soft pop.

[george formby]

Gotta say Dire Straits was part of the sound track to my yoof. Quite a few of their early songs were about moving from Newcastle to London, as I had, and all that it entailed.
I can still remember sitting on the tube with the grey people, walkman attached, listening to Tunnel of Love - "like the Spanish City to me", a slight tear welling up being alone in the big shitty.
The Spanish City was a permanent fun fair in Whitley Bay, just down the road from home.
The Knopflers came from Gosforth, a Newcastle suburb, where I ended up living for awhile. Had a super hot girlfriend then, too. Really, really naughty red head with stunning, er, attributes.

Crikey, the memories from formative years don't fade. I'm off to get some tissues and reminisce about Gosforth.

Dunno how it's done now, but the top 10 etc used to be based on the sale of 45rpm discs. The people who bought 45s were mostly girls aged 10 to 12. That's fine while you are also aged about 10 to 12, but after a while it's quite natural that your taste may move on from what's on rotation at the hit radio stations.

Just lately I've been listening to/watching some of the a cappella groups on YouTube. One such is Home Free, they do country a cappella. Who even knew that could be a thing.

I'll post two links. The first is Home Free in their normal space. The second is more recent, about a week old, it's the two tenors from the group on their own. "Two country singers try opera."

He did, eventually, sold his gear, donated it to charity and gave up the big gigs.

So many versions. Almost all of which saw Gilmour doing the chorus and several of the rest of whoever made up PF, (including female vocalists) at the time doing the rest.

​That Comfortably numb guitar solo reminded me of a performance by Prince for the Rock n Roll hall of fame tribute to George Harrison.




https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dWRCooFKk3c


It had around 118 million views so they remastered it about a year ago. I just love the way he performs on stage and his swagger as he leaves the stage afterwards. It also features Tom Petty, Jeff Lynne and Steve Winwood.

[HenryDorsetCase]

The consensus was pretty much that even if he couldnt write a song he would earn a very good living as a gun for hire/session player. (i.e. like Mr Page or Mr Beck). I dont like a lot of the material but you have to acknowledge the man could play.

[pritch]

In recent years there have been various clips of interviews and reminiscences of session musicians, notably The Wrecking Crew. Their thing was to arrive on time, sober, and ready to work. Far from universal in the 60s nd 70s.

Glen Campbell, a member, was unusual among session musicians in that he couldn't read music. The bass player could also play guitar. She'd play what the sheet music said and Campbell would come up with the guitar parts for the song from what she'd played.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q4JWqK6r6N4

Edit. A warning - that clip is long but she is so important and so woven into music since the late fifties it is well worth the effort.

On the news this morning Robbie Robertson, formerly of The Band, has died. I had "The Last Walz" DVD here but can't find it. There are a couple of his albums in my phone though so he'll get a hearing today.

Rodriguez the subject of the movie "Searching for Sugarman" also died overnight our time. A strange story, as a singer he was huge in South Africa, had success in Australia and NZ but was virtually unknown in the US. The record company had no idea where he was and weren't looking. Two South Africans went looking and found him working as a labourer on building sites. Got his album on a phone too so that's music for the day sorted.

Read that on fluff news earlier and mentioned it in stupid world.

Bohemian Rhapsody is ok, though. "Put a gun against his head.."

Makes me wonder if any of the decision makers have ever actually heard Queens music or if they just went off the track titles.

See, that's the problem with the internet and social media. Without it we'd never hear of the very small minority of idiots who would think that, and they most likely would've have known of the performance.

So I was gobbing out at this story and related it to the wife and she jumps in and says, you mean Tracy Chapman?. OK I appreciate that you might not know who she is if you are young, but it's still a stoopid thing to say.

Dickey Betts died aged 80

[pritch]

Today I gave 'Live At The Fillmore East' a spin. If playing it on a speaker from YouTube on my phone can be called a spin. This reminded me of something.

There is a YouTube series about a Brit rebuilding a chateau in France from the burned out ruin: "Escape to Northern France." He has researched some of the history of the chateau. In the late thirties I think, a small group of German Jewish kids escaped from Germany. They were supposed to be taken to the chateau by a woman but the police wouldn't let her leave so she told the most senior kid, a fifteen year old girl, to lead the group. They travelled on foot sleeping in barns etc but they made it to the chateau. They lived there until they were moved on eventually arriving in the USA.

In New York one of the kids received abuse because of his German accent. He was called a Nazi which is kinda heavy on the irony. This prompted him to work very hard at developing a New York accent and, using a phone book, he selected himself a new name. Bill Graham. He of the Fillmore East - and the Rock and Roll Hall Of Fame.

Bill Graham died in a helicopter crash in 1991.

The Allman Brothers "Live at the Fillmore East" is a great album.
