Heard Love is Strange being played on the national news just before I left for work. Sylvia Robinson passed away. Mickey and Sylvia. I didn't know her connections to Sugar Hill Records and the beginnings of rap.

I always liked Love is Strange because of the "how you call your loverboy?" question and response. Echoed by the NY Dolls years later in Trash. It was also used in a CFRO co-op radio station show, Rock Talk, back when I learned a lot about rock history. "and if he still doesn't answer? I say *snap snap* Rock Talk". And then there'd be part eleven of a fifteen part series on Winnipeg rock. Michael Willmore was, and still is, a completist when it comes to his music shows.

RIP Sylvia.


And I like the guitar.

I loved this song the first 10 times I heard it. I then heard it 1,000 times within the next few weeks, and back in '75, I had more important shit to do than listen to the same crap over and over again. Only in the last year or so have I realized that it is a great piece. Here's how it was made:


Cut to the chase:


Didn't I already post this? Ahh...Irish Whisky.

My squirt of a niece puts it on me with what she likes:

Guy says he's been trouble on the Skytrain and if he's trouble on the bus to kick him off at London Street. Sometimes it's hard to babysit a drunk for seven stops. Four down he starts singing in a wretched baritone. Five in he asks others if they believe in God. Four do and he doesn't. Then he shouts hey buddy where are we? Next stop is London. Thank God he says. And then stands at the rear door and apologizes for imbibing in too many alcoholic beverages. And punctuates it all by saying I hate you all. 29 more shifts to go and guys like him I'm going to miss.

This song went through my head for the remainder of the night:

Songs that go through the head start with this:

Too many years of Monkee reruns.

On a sad note, RIP Bert Jansch:

 

[Black Swan]

I love Bert Jansch and John Renbourn.

Watched this because I was reading about the guitar she plays in the video. It reminded me of what a marvelous punk rock screamer she was. Live Through This was a great FTW record.

You should learn how to say 'no'!

I saw David Johansen in concert once and he basically got booed off the stage. One of the saddest moments in my concert-attending life. This performance changed a few lives (this in the know know what I mean).

Yes, "mock rock." Every little runny-nosed, diapered twat that was involved in the British version of "punk rock" three or four years later saw that, and despite the revisionist history of some of them, they all though it was the greatest thing they'd ever seen. Which, at the time, it probably was. What with Mr. Mockrock and his rabbit teeth proclaiming the greatness of ELP and other exciting non-mock rock. His labeling of it as "mock rock" is probably what made it great for a lot of those kids. "If that crabby old beard hates it, it must be good."

Wait, you're calling whispering Bob Harris a what now?

 

[d gray]

swingin'!

my new favourite singer.

 

[Stavrogin]

Mario Bava + Ennio Morricone = a must post.

 

[Stavrogin]

My favorite bands:



They have helped me through some tough times. Love them for that.

 

[Stavrogin]

Favorite bands are take it all. The Pixies and The Smiths are take it all. Fuck you the rest of it all.

 

[Stavrogin]

^Someone had too much to drink last night^ I'm not sure what the above means and frankly am fearful of looking at my other recent posts. Yikes.

So you want me to delete your personal ad in the thread where Rekrab is talking about Japanese transvestites?

 

[Stavrogin]

Yes. Luckily I didn't wake up with one this morning.

 

[hoochmonkey9]

now that Kim Gordon is single, I can finally make my move...although I just did the math and found out she's 58. only 5 years younger than my mom would be.

fuck it. I'm going for it. my wife says it's ok, as long as I bring her a t-shirt. I don't think she knows exactly what I'm talking about. ah well...
