Thanks for posting @chrisf, I go back to the Toy Matinee album quite often but have never really explored further although I’m aware of some of the story surrounding KG. It’s funny how in some cases I’ll seek out […]

Hopefully sneaking in before the deadline, here goes.

1 – The Southern Harmony & Musical Companion – The Black Crowes
2 – Spilt Milk – Jellyfish
3 – Living With The Law – Chris Whitley
4 – Scarecrow – John […]

I know that I’m late but these are good thanks for posting. I can see a quick family quiz based around how many artists / songs we can spot.

I do remember it and even managed to be on the show. I was on the hot box answering some pop questions (typecasting at such an early age) and helped my school to win the series final claiming the prestigious CPP […]

When the children were a few years younger this show became a favourite. Actually I think we’d all probably still watch it now, I know I would.

Here’s the theme.

Each show had a musical number and here’s […]

And finally this is what happens when someone puts a shedload of rock songs into the mix.

Queen And Lynyrd Skynyrd seems to work as well.

Who knew that putting Quiet Riot together with Kool and the Gang would be a good idea but it is.

Excellent stuff.

On a similar theme a link to this arrived in my inbox this morning from Philosophy Football.

I can only echo everyone’s thoughts on this the FOW albums have been staples for the past 20+ years I’m not sure as to which songs were Adam’s or Chris’ but the bar was set high in terms of quality.

Anyway […]

Bill Barilko disappeared that summer
He was on a fishing trip
The last goal he ever scored
Won the Leafs the cup
They didn’t win another ’til nineteen-sixty-two
The year he was discovered

More […]

Agree on the Trigger Hippy @niallb
The albums are well worth a listen for many on here and they look like they would be a good evening out if they were in the vicinity.

I seem to remember that The Albert Hall shows get covered with Steve contrasting where the band were and how different the second visit was. Egos and unfettered access to the wrong things……

Yes the magpie […]

I’ve had this book review on my phone since before christmas and finally got around to posting it this week. I hadn’t even thought about a uk leg of the tour and was surprised to get the advance sales details in […]

Well one person didn’t like them, most everyone else was on board.

Hopefully this twitter link works.

Also, because everything is connected, here is one of my favorite scenes that @SGSFOX and I had to cut from HARD TO HANDLE for space. It's about the first time the Black Crowes listened to OK COMPUTER on their tour bus in 1997. This makes me laugh very hard every time I read it. pic.twitter.com/Tk59El8gII

Yes in aproper old school listen to it all the way through way. All the better for my having no idea it was even in the offing it just seemed to arrive overnight. Yet to wear my SP socks though.

No argument from me and amazingly after a very long time he released new music last year. Possibly heavier on the ballads than some would have wished I found it to be a real grower. Anyway here’s probably the most […]

Good call bobness I know that Damn Yankees possibly stretch this away from AOR and into melodic rock territory (but that’s just splitting hairs isn’t it). Anyway their debut album was packed with tunes.
