Vincent commented on the post, Why is Richard Thompson not Eric Clapton??? 1 day, 22 hours ago
My alternative history returns the rock n roll time line to how it should be:
Ike Turner and Johnny Guitar Watson break big in 1962 and remain stadium fillers; British blues boom and the Stones are entertaining […]

I shared a flat with the definitive Rik in the mid-80s. He was a pain in the arse whose idea of black music began and ended with “Sex Machine”, was so leftier than thou he turned most people he met away from […]

Getting a girl in some teen tribe to ‘do your hair’ used to be a solid strategy for further fraternisation. I had girls henna mine, put it into post-punk plaits n tribal beads, shave bits off (COR!), bleach it […]

teenage music tribes. They are gradually dying out. As i pass the hundreds of kids going in to junior’s 6th form, you may see one lad tryin’ to grow a chin in a metal / emo shirt, but no goths, hippies, mods, […]

Glad someone did, Baron. I preferred the live versions which were less radio 2 and more Michael kamem with metallica.

Vincent commented on the post, Hawkwind plus the Docklands Orchestra 2 weeks, 5 days ago
That was probably the “Chronicles of the Black Sword” Tour. Dumpy’s Rusty Nuts are a fine, fine band. I do enjoy biker-quality rock (see: “The Hamsters”).
On that tour Hawkwind had a “Conan the Barbarian”/ […] -

Vincent commented on the post, What band did you want to be in? 3 weeks, 4 days ago
The first band i wanted to be in was 1974 Roxy Music. Cool but glam, arty but pop and rocky.

This is what the Internet and streaming media is all about. Not endless ‘new’. I like to discover interesting old when they had to rely on acting and stories. Some of that “Can you hear me, mootha?” regional […]

Slightly disappointed; I had read this as a new biodoc of Pete Burns, mouthy but always good-value face (and arse, allegedly) of the Liverpool post-punk scene, know for an ahem “direct” manner. Many brilliant […]

I found the PFM vocals the most derivative bit, actually – and think singing in Italian would have been better. Obviously that would have add to their locality when they were trying to expand their appeal. I […]

it was the posh papers taking popular music seriously (viz. the Times on the beatles in terms of classical music) that started it. Dons and Adorno prono […]

What does it sound like?:
PFM were an Italian progressive rock group from the 1970s. I’ve generally found the best progressive rock to be from the UK, but as I tire of the familiar greats (surely fair enough […] -
