Ooh La La! Dept. - Le London All Star


British Percussion was released only in France ('65) and Italy ('66). Featuring - it says here - Jimmy Page [18 my ass - Ed.], who "wrote" three of the tracks - you know how Jimmy "writes" - and again, it says here - John McLaughlin and/or Big Jim Sullivan - it's a swingin' Carnaby St.-style thump n' fuzz n' Tijuana trumpet fest. Probably produced by Glyn Johns, this is freaktastic stuff, and as rare as underarm deodorant for snakes.

You lust after this shamefully, you dog, and you might find blessed relief in the comments, where you can rub shoulders with like-minded furtive individuals with tastes for the outré - ooh la la!


This post made possible by le Lupine Assassin Suppositoire d'Obscurité - thanks, L.A.!

    2. "Bill Szymczyk (Secretly hates the Eagles)"

      Doesn't everyone?

    3. Not me -- I openly hate the Eagles.

    4. Th' Eagles are swell. Great tunes, great playing, great singing, great production - great big hits. "People" don't like them for reasons other than musicality, which doesn't make sense to me but might to you. Maybe yo don't like them *as people* - I don't know them personally, they don't come by my house ... waittaminute. This is a piece I'm writing.

      As the student union of Edinburgh College of Art the Wee Red Bar is home to the usual art school characters- think asymmetrical haircuts, dresses your granny would wear for the girls, brogues for the boys, and dashings of attitude. Which makes it my kind of hangout. The club nights here play a variety of musical styles, from 60's swing to noughties indie via all that came in between. With a lot of morrissey. Because who doesn't love a bit of Mozza? The space itself is pretty dingy, although the low lighting and twinkly tinsel hanging from the ceiling distract from this, and the flea-bitten sofas near the bar add a certain charm. Bar prices are reasonable as one would expect from a union, which makes up for the rather over-inflated door price [normally at least £6, a bit steep for a student night if you ask me]. All in all a great place to see and be seen while having a bit of a dance.

      Hey, sounds like just the place for 4 or 5 guys to hang out, but is it weird enough to win the prize?

      Can't wait for Mr Farq to answer with his resounding "NOPE", but will it entice him to publish the real answer so we can all go to bed?
