Late submission for October. I always mean to contribute but can never remember what I watched etc. Seen Went to the Lee Millar exhibition at the Tate London which was brilliant. For some reason I decided to […]

Agreed

One of my favourites.

Yes but NH are supposed to be complicated.

“The Road” is so unrelentingly bleak I felt a numb sense of relief when I finished it. I’m glad I read it but I haven’t been able to face the film though it can’t possibly be as dark as the book can it? I […]

Links and obit here. Terribly sad.

Yes. Credit due, he’s not given up!

I saw NM though I’m not mad on his bass playing now. Too complicated.

I think that was when I was losing interest in the NME – I’d jumped to Tom Waits, Little Feat and lots of reggae. Plus some old school!

I probably saw them then in Oxford. I had no problem, I thought they were brilliant. Mind you I was impervious to vibe shifts, I just liked what I liked!

I saw them at Oxford Poly in 1976 and they were brilliant. Rick had his 5 neck guitar etc. He threw handfuls of his plectrums into the audience and obviously I still have one!

Always rather liked the funkier groove they found. I’m not going to buy it but I’ll definitely give it a listen.

Great idea, a relisten is definitely in order.

And “Come taste the band” which I think is brilliant too.

“Guido” is just brilliant isn’t it!

Guy Pratt is very funny on the Cov in his book.

I love Steve Vai (see posts passim) and the rerecorded Fool For Your Loving especially as much as the UK one.

Well he’s earned it. Good to quit while you’re ahead. He took the unenviable jog of replacing Ian Gillen and being just as good but completely different. I like both the UK centric and US centric ‘Snakes too.

Whilst what Clapton said is plainly wrong and unpleasant I don’t see any Nazi dimension.
