Any major dude will tell you that

Do you think if Houghton was in the same position next year he could do it again?

Tee hee

Depends if we go back, Jack.

[Old Frightful]

I've been telling people that Houghton's been a genius since he was seventeen.

 

Also, I used to think Radford wouldn't know a diamond if he held it in his hand.

Only a fool would say that

On a different note, Michael Kiwanuka's new album is very good.

Turbonegro are gay aren't they? (most of them anyway)

 

Seem to remember they had a song 'Rock Against Ass' (?) Maybe it was a Finnish translation thing.

 

Decent number that.

They've knocked out a stack of decent tunes in their time. They almost fell apart a few years back but they got themselves a new singer and their last album was a good effort. I think the sexual ambiguity thing is just the old rock and roll trick of wanting to appear edgy.

We know...and we don't care. No exaggeration, this record changed my life.

Fantastic

 

I love rock music from every era but nothing will ever top the excitement of 1977 for me.

[Robin Evans]

I was 17 in 1977 and currency was measured in vinyl units. My saturday job and the odd quid me dad chucked at me went on music and/or rugby.

Even then i used to buy off independents. I used to buy a lot off a guy who stood on wombwell market. Unlike the big shops he'd stand cjatting about old cream and yardbirds albums and some of the great 70s acts. I bought every free album from him... he reckoned frazer/rogers were as good a partnership as anyone.

He had long hair and liked his old school rock. I never guessed he'd like punk but he did. Got me some elvis and clash bootlegs.... which sadly got nicked a decade later.

That guy aleays said music is too broad a spectrum to just focus on one part of that spectrum.

He said to me as a niaive youth that it was cool to like different genres. I'm sure he was just dickin me about to buy more stuff like, but hey ho.... i like all sorts of sh it, with thay guy who's name i embarrassingly have forgotten over time being a big influence on me at the time.

I remember buying you see red by wishbone ash and a clash album on the same day...

My brother is 60 in a couple of weeks, he was 21 in 1977 and was pretty much responsible for turning me onto punk.I'm making him a CD of classics and obscurities for his birthday, gonna call it No Time To Be 21 (after the Adverts song)

What a great thing to do.

A cd of a lot of one chord wonders then.

Speaking of unlikely punks (sort of) there's a track by uber hippy Steve Hillage that I will have to find from somewhere, that is pretty much full on punk rock. Its mad to think its the same guy.

Steve Hillage appeared on stage with Sham 69 at Reading playing "If the kids are united"

A strange juxtaposition

Absolutely, some might even stretch to 3.

You never said he was into prog rock.

The man himself.

 

Take it easy.

Really enjoying the new Monkees album, Good Times!. Lots of songs from lots of songwriters, some of them superb, and few weak efforts.
