She revealed the whole story for the first time for your Foam Exclusive™, chatting poolside whilst [grammar - Ed.] Kreemé served signature bin water and tomato mold smoothies.
MT Can I take that girl with me? She's been bad and needs punishing.
FT3 Ha ha! So, tell us about your Screamadelica prayer.
MT Well, I wanted a kind of shorter version, with just the spacey, blissed-out tracks. My busy schedule blessing starving orphans made chillaxing with the entire album difficult. So I prayed to God for a mix of the Andrew Weatherall tracks without the Stones knock-offs.

MT The fucker never answered. Just sent me more starving orphans. I was like, gee, thanks, God! More starving orphans to bless! I never got the Dodge Ram Truck, either.
FT3 It was a test of faith, right?
MT Yeah, right. Like He was showing his love for me by putting me through to voicemail every fucking time. Fuck that, and fuck Him. Have you seen where He put me for all eternity, to continue His good works? Everything's on fire! He sends Jesus down with some sandals, that's the thanks I get. Not even the right size.
FT3 Well, Mo' Tezza, I'm here to tell you that one prayer at least has been answered!
MT I get the Ram Truck?
FT3 Next best thing! An exclusive personalised FoamMix© of Screamadelica, just the good bits! And it's housed in a limited edition sleeve variant to add to its collectability!
MT (tearing up) Why, bless your wrinkled old sphincter!

Delete9.5
DeleteNicky Hopkins for sure. QMS, Stones, etc.
ReplyDelete"The Revolutionary Piano Of Nicky Hopkins"
DeleteBeat me to Nicky so for how short a time he had I'll nominate Duane Allman.
ReplyDeleteBTW "Carry on Mother Theresa" is a film I'd definitely watch.
Duane? Hmm ... *makes ambivalent hand wobble gesture*
DeleteOn his good days...that version of "The Weight" with Sister 'ree...
DeleteIt's just that he's a star, isn't he? It's a bit like saying Hendrix was a good session player.
DeleteHan Bennink will beat Sheila E any time of the day (and night).
ReplyDeletebeat her with what ???
DeleteAlbert Lee
ReplyDeleteOne of the finest. Always employed, too, which is rare for a musician!
DeleteRay Cooper comes to mind, he pops up on quite a few albums. But I particularly remember seeing him ‘showing off’ on tv in the 70/80’s with Elton John, he even made playing a tambourine theatrical, he was probably out of his mind on nose candy.
ReplyDeleteFarq, get some lotion on that sphincter of your.
I do think Ray Cooper's a bit of a sphincter, heckchewerly!
DeleteRosko Gee (Traffic, Can (inc offshoots), Hooded Ones)
ReplyDeleteGood call.
DeleteBarry Reynolds.
ReplyDeleteOllie Halsall (Timebox, Patto, Kevin Ayers, John Cale, Brian Eno, Al Kooper, John Otway, the Scaffold).
ReplyDeleteDavid Bromberg
ReplyDeleteLeon Russell backed everybody in the 60s with the Wrecking Crew, then went on to lead Mad Dogs & Englishmen & The Concert for Bangla Desh. And then had a pretty good run as a solo...
ReplyDeleteRick Wakeman. Excellent on other people's records. On his own ... dull.
ReplyDeleteMerry Clayton. I know, you'll say, "She sings not plays a thing" but I say pish posh she's groovy!
ReplyDeleteSinging is playing a musical instrument, Snorky! Good call.
DeleteRichard Davis (on Astral Weeks).
ReplyDeleteFor more early '90s Weatherall, check out One Dove.

Should have known!
DeleteI bought the CD and CD singles in Minneapolis as expensive imports (and more later in LA), then pieced together a 113-track library of files from sites that came and went... Originally they released an album as Dove. Worth seeking out the B-side remixes.
I'd be very interested in the remixes, should you be desirous of uploading them somewhere ...
DeleteI need to figure out how best to do that
Delete“Zigaboo” Modeliste
ReplyDeleteKeltner!
ReplyDeleteLeland Sklar.
ReplyDeleteMe n the Reeds
ReplyDeleteDarlene Love what a voice
ReplyDeleteRicky Fataar. Herb Pederson.
ReplyDeleteHmm ... Sid James cosplaying Mother Theresa doesn't seem to be attracting the skeevy demographic ... page hits flatlined ... I'm surprised!

ReplyDeleteWhat about Jack Nitzsche? Or Greg Leisz?
