I was at the Oxford gig too – thankfully no Boden. It was great I thought. The guitar is period accurate – it could even be the one used to record the album with, being a single-coil Les Paul, giving a more mellow […]

I got the single highlights CD. Unlike the highlights of the first box, it doesn’t half drag. Overblown live versions that omit the menace and subtlety of the originals and second rate Roger-less Floyd that still […]

Yup. Pretty large hole where Martin Barre and Barrie Barlow’s contributions should be too.

I don’t think you’ll be missing much on this one Twang. It’s a beautiful object, but boy is the text large, the paper thick, the detail small and – for me at least – the attention given to the classic era skimpy. […]

Wotcher Moose Atrocity Bingo

Wotcher Moose,

My Fall era is pretty much Brix and beyond. And I’m not a great fan of bootleg quality. As such, my live Fall favourites are Seminal Live and Live at the Phoenix Festival. The former combines new […]

I’m fond of Junior Parker’s takes, this one in particular:

But what cannabis/hemp products does he favour? That’s what we need to know.

Me too. “You know me number three, you know me number two”, “Welcome to Slaggers”. Top bantz.

True. Although these feel like underreaches.

This captures pretty much all the hateable points of Mr Z quite neatly. Smug, hate-filled, misogynistic, thinks its way more clever than it is, musically unsatisfying (ground already covered on The Dangerous […]

Painful. The worst of Tull is sadly not a short list: Working John, Working Joe, 4WD, Watching You Watching Me, Bungle, pretty much all of Under Wraps. Thankfully he seems to have left his pervy old man days behind.

Eh?! He’s one of the few who doesn’t stick to the pentatonic or blues scales. Wash your ears out Twang. Big Swifty is more fusion than Headhunters anyway.

Er, I’m not that familiar with the oeuvre I must say. But I make it a rule not to trust a anyone with a hand up his bottom.

Passion. Puppets. Hmmm… I’m not sure those two words belong together Luna. Gives me visions of Sooty behaving inappropriately with Sue. Was that the idea? Not that I have anything to crow over – Eat Drink and Be […]

I keep hoping he’ll scale the heights of Fin de Siecle but he consistently disappoints. The Duckworth Lewis albums show that he can still do it, but for some reason – possibly linked to his horror of Father Ted […]

Such nonsense. But have it your way. Bitches Brew then.

Yebbut 4 years after Hot Rats. Same year as that 2nd Peter Green Fleetwood Mac CD in fact…

Extrapolation sounds less fusion than BB to me. Jack Johnson was also 1971 and Gibbs 1970.

73?!
