Stack Yer Autochanger Spindle! Dept. - Hookfoot

Hookfoot aren't stacked on too many autochangers these days. Which is a shame, by George! Because, groove for groove, pound for pound, they pack as much sheer meaty goodness into a slab of vinyl as most better-known guitar-slingin' combos!

Cover of first album [left - Ed.] perfectly expresses urban ennui of early seventies UK!

That's right, subscribers! The rockin' sounds of Hookfoot sure go down swell with beer, pizza, dope, and other fine foodstuffs! So when unexpected guests drop by, serve up a stack o' steamin' Hookfoot slices!

A full spindle today - seven [count 'em! - Ed.] swell long-playing records you'll be proud to drop onto th' turntable! Also a "Double CD" - th' fuck that is - of their greatest hits, kinda.

Hey! What's Kreemé think about Hookfoot? Leave us ax her! Why, here she is, Outreach Hostess in the intimate surroundings of th' IoF© Kosy Korner Bar™! (Can you spot Your Host, subscribers?)


"Hookfoot? I hope never to suffer the heartbreak of this terrible condition, and my thoughts and prayers are with those that do!"

      Caleb Quaye is a way cool guitarist! He recorded on of the best psych singles of the sixties on Philips (UK 1967) under the moniker Caleb.
      Thin crust please...

    Sausage (Italian with pork fennel and garlic), cooked Neapolitan style, in a wood burning oven. Served with a nice Marchesi di Barolo

    Public Service Announcement: Ordering Ham and pineapple on Pizza in the five boroughs of New York City, may be hazardous to your health. Or at the very least will make you a laughingstock.

    I'm intrigued by Hookfoot

      I'm trying to sauce th' elusive (and possibly disappointing) '75 album "Headlines" before I loadup.

      AND I LIKE HAM N' PINEAPPLE ON PIZZA! SUE ME!

      Ham and Pineapple...oh, you mean, Hawaian pizza as we call it around here? Yummy. Make me a laughing stock in NYC, I don't care. But since no family members are fond of pineapple, I never get to choose that one for the family anyway.

      Older subscribers may remember Pmac from his popular "Toolbox Tips" column. Sadly, he is too busy right now PICKING OUT DRAPES and FANNING COLOR SWATCHES to man up and be a come-with guy. Fooey on him. FOOEY!

    Bacon -- on thin crust. Fennel and garlic sausage is a close second, maybe first if you don't have thin crust. Now where's the goods?!

    Heading back to Hookfoot. I think "Headlines" might be a Best Of comp. Great band.

      Yup, as it says in the piece. And HEAD LINES? What kind of lines - for heads - can these scamps be alluding to? Not pizza topping.

    I'm not such an inventive guy: tuna, red onions, a bit of cream/remoulade sauce.

    Pizza Savoyarde s.v.p - that's reblochon, sliced potatoes, onion and smoked lardons on a pizza bianco base with fresh thyme and a very light drizzle of honey. C'est parfait! You used to be able to get a damn near perfect one from Rapido Pizz in Uzes but the guys have closed up for good. Sometimes life no longer seems worth the living....

    Pizzas, leave us not forget, were not originally gourmet eating for Italians. Leftover pie, a great way to serve up whatever you had in the kitchen. I've eaten brilliant pizza in Italy (Rome, Milan, Turin, Bologna, Florence ... even Venice, the Home Of Dull Eats, served up a great one) but I enjoy a Pizza Express Thick Crust Deluxe as much as any, heavy on the thirty-weight. And I've had some self-consciously artisanal pizza in Paris and Bangkok that was meh to the max. If pizza isn't the best basic dish in the world, I don't know what izza!
