What Are You Listening To - The Reckoning

[Mumby Magic]

Rage against the machine's first album and a bit of Nick drake.

[getdownmonkeyman]

Diana Krall - Wallflower. An album of covers, but pretty easy listening so far.

[WearyRhino]

A combination that reformed only last year.

Was that true then?

[tomdooley]

wilko johnson and roger daltrey terrific stuff. plain old rock.

[Futtocks]

'Nuggets', the legendary 1972 garage band* compilation whose sleevenotes contain possibly the first use of the phrase "punk rock". If you don't already own this, why not?

 

*before the term was diluted/polluted by an obscure dance music subdivision and, more recently, the Apple software of the same name.

The only acts I've ever heard of on that album. And I count myself as a bit of a music buff.

You may recognise the Standells' Dirty Water, without having known the name of the song or band. It does get used sometimes in TV programmes and adverts.

 

The Vagrants feature the guitar and voice of Leslie West, later of Mountain and West, Bruce & Laing.

 

And Nazz was Todd Rundgren's first band.

 

Seriously, check out 'Nuggets' - it's even more ace than Cas Vegas!

Actually, I didn't mind Van Halen.

 

I just still have withdrawal symptoms some thirty years after my kids played a video of "Jump" non-stop whenever they came round my house.

 

A cold shiver also runs down my spine whenever someone mentions Metallica.

[Robin Evans]

Sheff city hall 1979. Van Halen supporting black sabbath. Thereafter tony became known as tony broken fingers iomi after following eddie.....

And the pa broke down. Bad night for sabbath

[Robin Evans]

Willie Nile ce soir

[Wolford6]

Friday Free For All on 6Music Steve Lamaq. Always interesting and some wild variety.

 

Now, there is a face for radio.

[Leeds Wire]

A northern soul classic from the brilliant Craig Charles Soul and Funk Show, early on a Saturday evening on BBC 6 music.

Can't remember how to post YT vids. Accidentally posted a downloadable Frank Zappa track. I'm sure his music publisher's lawyers will be scouring my rectum any minute now.

The Electric Prunes: "I Had Too Much to Dream (Last Night)"

The Knickerbockers: "Lies"

I've got those two tunes on a double 'A' side single.

You may recognise the Standells' Dirty Water, without having known the name of the song or band. It does get used sometimes in TV programmes and adverts.

Great song, saw a group of local musicians cover it at the Adelphi. They swapped Boston for Kingston and turned it into a song about the River Hull.

[Robin Evans]

Given the news about Andy Fraser. ..

Highway and free at last for me this morning.

Another boyhood hero gone. Free at last.

[Wolford6]

Yesterday, I caught part of a set by Scarlett Heights, who were playing a St Patrick's Day gig at The Ginger Goose in Bradford.

 

They don't play so many gigs these days, but they've still really got it. If you get the chance, please go and see them.

Dolores O'Riordon is not in a good place.

Setting sons.... to get me to work today

[Futtocks]

Currently enjoying the ex-Roxy music guitarist Phil Manzanera compilation 'Guitarissimo'.

 

The opening riff from track one (K-Scope) has recently been sampled by Jay Z & Kanye West for their track 'No Church in the Wild', which has apparently been a considerable financial pleasure for Phil.

 

 

[tomdooley]

A double page spread in todays i newspaper about this riff and phil Manzanera .

He has a new album out, on which he "re-covers" the track via Kanye & Jay. Some of his solo stuff is variable in quality, some is very good, but it's nice to see him doing well out of this.
