Mission Statement: to do very little, for very few, for not very long. Disappointing the easily pleased since 1819. Not as good as it used to be from Day One. History is Bunk - PT Barnum. Artificially Intelligent before it was fashionable. Fat camp for the mind! Nothing lasts, but nothing is lost. The Shock of the Old! Often bettered, never imitated.

We'll talk about whatever the first 4/5g© to drop a comment tells us to talk about.
ReplyDeleteName one musician you wish was still alive.
ReplyDeleteBob Dylan
DeleteRoy Orbison
DeleteCarl Wilson
DeleteJohn Coltrane
DeleteEmitt Rhodes
DeleteJohn Peel (not a musician, but who's counting?)
DeleteNobby, I've squinted at yer icon but can't make it out - what/who is it?
DeleteIt's from Kevin Coyne's album "Millionaires And Teddy Bears", and a very fine rerecord I might add.
DeleteBack on topic
Charlie Watts
Not to mention Mick N' Keef
Ah Babs, you put him out of his misery far too easily, it's time he had some of his own medecine.
DeleteWe're having a party, oh what fun
See the little girls now see how they squeal and run
Out on the patio, millionaires a go go
If you want another drink, there's plenty more under the sink
Spot the millionaires, aristocrats, big teddy bears , fools in fools hats
Discussing my future, I wonder why
They tell me I'd be much better off if I told one little lie
Smoke up the chimney
Bones of pop stars
They say you've got to to be tough and rough and tough and rough and tough and rough if you want to be a pop star
And back on track : Kevin Coyne
Clifford Brown
DeleteGbrand
Name one you are glad isn't still alive
ReplyDeleteJim Morrison. What would he have done? Get more bloated, bald, perpetually drunk, pawing young girls, swinging a bottle on street corners slurring out "poetry" - happy he's gone. (Love his work, too.)
DeleteAgreed, and yet I don't feel this way about Charles Bukowski.
DeleteNor he about you, Babs.
DeleteAgree on Jimbo and Bukowski. For me ... Jerry Garcia
DeleteThe afore mentioned Paul Mcartney. Just imagine what saccharine ditties he'd have come out with if he'd gone solo after The Beatles. Christ, it would have been all silly love songs, nursery ryhmes and if he had ever boughf that farm on the Mull of Kintyre, who knows what he would have inflicted on us.
DeleteThat's an uncomfortable question.
DeleteSid Vicious - had he not died when he did, his life would have been even more miserable than it already was. Of course, he could have got clean and gone on to have a better life. I somehow doubt it, though.
Kanye West. Oh, wait, he's still around. Sorry.
DeleteKanye is deader than bell-bottoms with platform shoes.
DeleteHas anyone poked Ronnie Wood with a stick lately?
Weird you should ask this. Did it yesterday. He didn't move, and the stick's stuck between his ribs.
DeleteGimme Marc Bolan back. He was gone too fast.
ReplyDeleteWhen one regards these troubled times, one has to ask oneself, "what would Frank Zappa say?". I both wish he was still alive, and am glad he isn't.
ReplyDeleteWhen were "the times" not troubled?
DeleteJust sayin'
Babs, I apologse for deleting your first "John Coltrane" comment - it had to be sacrificed for the gag.
DeleteNo worries.
DeleteBert Jansch & Sandy Denny (I wish they were still alive)
ReplyDeleteNobody wants these swell albums? Even if you *cough* "don't like jazz" (but have Kind Of Blue in your collection) you should enjoy the second side of Adam's Apple a lot.
ReplyDeleteIf you are building a Jazz collection, you need these.
DeleteFarq, If you are offering good jazz, who am I to say no. Thanks,
ReplyDeleteGbrand
Here ya go, Mr. Gbrand. There's an xtry bonus album which he made at the end of this period, where he tends to lose me, but the cool post-bop albums are some kind of high point in jazzness.

Maybe unknown outside of the uk but, Tim Smith from Cardiacs, a genius musician, and a lovely fella as well. There is a Cardiacs Universe, that I would recommend is probably of interest to some of the 4or5 guys, and will definitely be better than the Metaverse. I'll not hold your hand, see what you find.
ReplyDeleteFantastic band!
Delete"Sing to God" is a superb album.
