“The essential doesn't change.” Beckett
This one my father always loved. He'd turn the speakers up so loud they'd buzz before the crackle of the vinyl kicked in. And yes, he air guitared to it too. Dad rock!

I'll pay them if they're giving a gig over here.
oh- and, then I'll buy the album and will let it sign it by the girls
and then I'll give the album to my sister and then I'll listen to the
download version again.

And I just read that they play in L.A. in El Rey on may, 28.
Are you going?
Swing your daddy!

Yesterday, was listening to a fair bit of Snowy White and Peter Green,I had been out for a run, came home, inadvertently dropped my phone down the loo. All my music! dried it off, switched it on again, took the hairdryer to it and then read on the internet - Don't switch it on and Don't take a hairdryer to it - Hell's teeth. Now resting in a big bowl of rice (previous tip from mjp) fingers crossed.
Anyhoooo:
No bad cover from Haim:

I can't make sense of Haim's music, every time I hear them they sound different, but I do like to see youngsters rocking out, such as they're able, and you can see that they've studied the rich history of Rock Faces and make them expertly. The bass player especially, appears to be in extreme pain at all times (which may be the most effective and poignant Rock face). That, or she is under constant attack from bees. Sisters too! Go on now.

Yes, a lot of hair action that's for sure, I kept thinking, she is going to get really dizzy, but you just don't at that age.
They played the Barrowland Glasgow in March, did think about going to see them, still too many bands, not enough cash! i don't see that many anymore, so have to be really strict, selective and then go for the cheap ones!
They are playing a few gigs down in England this summer, won't see them there either. But good lassies, wish them every success. :)

Yeah, the spelling sucks, but there's no ad to wade through on this one. Art Blakey on traps yelling in the background with Sonny Clark on piana and Sam Jones on the ole bull fiddle. Tone and swing 20 ways to Sunday as someone somewhere said at some point.

Hoo hah!

Sorry for posting again here! not my generation, but they gave us plenty of songs to sing up the back of the biology class. To the beautiful, sassy girl groups of the sixties - we salute you:). Spent a nice couple of hours listening to them, just now.

PS Is it true that the Ronettes were the only female group to tour with The Beatles?
