Well he wasn’t Archie Shepp, granted, but “crap sax”? Even watching out for an affordable copy of Chris Wood’s box set from a while back. Yeah, good lad was Chris.

Letting the drug-addled Jimmy Miller loose on the single didn’t improve it IMO. Extra vocals and the non-musician’s instrument of choice, the tambourine (x6, I’m guessing). Appalling.

Probably the only case of […]

OK, got it. Why (not) bother?

TNK? Sorry, not obvious to everyone @Vulpes Vulpes , what a silly bunt.

Strawberry Fields Forever
I Am The Walrus

Thinks:
They were quite good in 1967.
All downhill for Lennon after that.

Get your facts right (from today’s Observer):

BTW in Germany we had the same discussion. The national anthem (music by Joseph Haydn, an Austrian) is traditional, but the lyrics dated from a different era and […]

Ya Hozna! Now you’re talking!

Can I just point out that, even if you know the Deutschland Über Alles bit, the third verse featuring this line is actually banned in Germany, and references to it are obscured by calling it “the third verse”. […]

FZ was never a jazzer, although his 1972-1974 band featured a real hot lineup with George Duke, Ruth Underwood, etc. You’d probably enjoy “Roxy And Elsewhere”, Uncle.

There’s music of interest to be found on all Zappa works, including “The Man From Utopia” and “Thing Fish”. Then again, he didn’t exactly make it easy for you. Hawkfall’s OP nails it: there may be 100 Zappa albums […]

As a resident of Wuppertal for over 40 years, I can confirm that the Schwebebahn (=floating rail/ suspension railway/ overhead railway/ skytrain) is still in operation and is the preferred mode of transport for […]

Klugscheisser, in fact. Both guilty, nicht die Rede wert.
😉

Ho-ho, your trinkgeld bit is a tip for the waitress and not the place old appliances go to. C- for effort.

I’m inventing one:

Sorry for your trouble (as we say in Ireland).

When my Mammy died, the younger brother did the honours, Danny Boy, natch.

Takes me back.

Heard this on the radio last week, found out its identity, ordered it immediately. not even a middle East music aficionado. Track 4 is the one, Glibi.

5 – Blade Runner
6 – Raiders Of The Lost Ark

Then again, Litherland placed himself very high in the list of greatest power trio performances ever, a belter despite his having a fairly weedy voice. Probably the double-tracked guitar…
It’s the pantheon, […]

Lumpy Gravy was quite clearly a panoply of fragments sequenced end to end and just as clearly, fulfills amost none of the criteria of what would be usually called a suite. Got me there, guv, talking bollocks. I […]
