By ‘86 they were almost a cabaret act... Europe in ‘77, man that must have taken some balls.

It's the sound that I was equating really but I take your point.
Contemporaneous too so you could theoretically have ended up at the wrong gig and seen suicide.

Imagine if you will, it’s 1970, you’re dressed to the nines for some quality classical music (some nice symphonic bombast no doubt) at the Guggenheim Museum, NYC and then these motherfuckers start up...

Imagine the arm ache from playing maracas for 16 minutes...

"Calling Roger Mellie"...

Oh man, I’ve led you up the garden path, it was 1973 at Carnegie Hall. Here is a quote from that gig:

A 1973 performance of Four Organs at Carnegie Hall in New York City nearly caused a riot, with "yells for the music to stop, mixed with applause to hasten the end of the piece."[5] One of the performers, Michael Tilson Thomas, recalls: "One woman walked down the aisle and repeatedly banged her head on the front of the stage, wailing 'Stop, stop, I confess.'"

Now, that is punk rock!

This morning started off sedately. First up, SugarShit Sharp by the fabulous Pussy Galore:

Feeda my ego!

Then, just to ensure that edge is sharp enough; Funhouse:

Might be tempted to throw on Raw Power in a minute (Penetration probably being my favourite stooges song...)...

16 minutes playing the same chord on your organ (steady Reg!).
A dominant eleventh if yer interested. Described by the composer as: the longest V–I cadence in the history of Western Music...

Play yer cards right I might find more Lower East Side meets Uptown for you in the evening...

Continuing the Brass fetish from a few posts back.....

Had a few little tears in my eyes at the first one.

Not sure if Brass stuff has the same impact if you're not from certain places and certain times (Yorkshire mining village for me).

I used to host a music based quiz at our local pub (remember them?) in Penistone. A regular, you know the type, hard as nails, had an opinion on everything, old as the hills, sat nursing a pint all evening, was in one evening when I had a film themed quiz which involved guessing the film from a clip of the soundtrack. I played the Aranjuez Concierto from Brassed Off and was amazed to see him sat there with tears rolling down his cheeks.

Yup, it tugs on those heart-strings...

Catching up on 6 Music's Radcliffe and Maconie show from Jan 9th while in work.
With the added advantage it's only Mark on and he's choosing all of his music this show

With the following still to come

Steppenwolf
Magic Carpet Ride

The Cult
She Sells Sanctuary

Sex Pistols
Pretty Vacant

Kraftwerk
The Model

plus loads more

The postie delivered another echo studio so I finally have something decent sounding. I’ve been testing them out by watching a great documentary on John Entwhistle, a real hero of mine, and playing my new favourite band, Brass Against, who’d have thought RATM played by a brass band would work?
My son summed it up as, “at first I was scared, but WOW”

Possibly the most sane of The Who. Are bass players noted for their sanity d'you think Steve?

Generally yes, it works on a sliding scale with drummers being absolutely nuts in most cases.
My drummer was my best man, I took precautions

The Gillian Welch Boots #2: Lost Songs boxset (which the what the postie brung this morning).

Ordered it back in Oct/Nov. It got dispatch fromUS 5th January, got notification of it being in Switzerland 13th. Delivered on the 6th... guess that’s the sunlit uplands Brexit dividend for ya, right there...

Un peu more tranquil than Iggy I must say

Finally after about 10 years i got round to getting a new cartridge so spent the day listening to records . I put the Godfathers on as one of the first choices I have never heard anyone else mention them also listened to Mc5 Kick out the jams .
its like having a new music collection also really enjoyed The Dream Syndicate and Danielle Dax so far.

Chilling to the Hang Massive...

I was listening to the cricket until recently. It's over now though

Arf!

Cricket on t'wireless is great. Especially if you switch on part way through when it can be anything up to an hour before you can hear any sound or voice at all. Even then it'd probably just be something like a murmured "oh, I say" (*). The ultimate in mellow relaxation.

Or better still, "The batsman's Holding, the bowler's Willey" of course.

FKA Twigs. Was driving round recently and heard her interview with Louis Theroux. Sounded like a lovely person. Music odd (to me) but seeing how it goes. Potential grower.

I think these boys deserve a listen this weekend

Say what you like, but the moment the curtains open in a bar in the Philly on a quiet-Tuesday to reveal the titan himself bashing out the hits to a stunned bunch of punters is quite something .
