Funny, I happened to see the "instructions for extras" taped to the door at that shoot:

ATTENTION ALL BACKGROUND: PLEASE STAND IN FRONT OF ONE BIN AND DON'T MOVE. PULL OUT A RECORD EVERY 10 TO 15 SECONDS, AND FLIP IT OVER. LOOK AT THE BACK FOR FIVE SECONDS AND RETURN THE RECORD TO THE BIN. REPEAT PROCESS IN SAME BIN UNTIL SONG ENDS.
IMPORTANT: DO NOT CHANGE BINS! DO NOT MOVE FROM YOUR SPOT!
THANK YOU.
SPECIAL NOTE TO WHOEVER STANDS AT COUNTER IN FRONT OF STACK OF 7" SINGLES: JUST THINK "BORED ASSHOLE" AND YOU'LL BE PERFECT.
THANK YOU.
LUNCH BREAK AT 11:00 AM, NO LUNCH PROVIDED.

The wife saw and then met Glen Hansard last night. Seems like a real cool dude and very nice guy.

I want to dedicate this one to mjp. I have a gut feeling it's just the thing he enjoys secretly tapping his toes to. It speaks to the problems of youth and is somehow French, who could ask for more?


It sounds a bit as if it was recorded with a potato, true. But this is only because the version with the million views I remember seems to be gone. She probably threatened to keel the dude who uploaded it.

I just watched a documentary worth watching,
Glen Campbell: I'll Be Me
And remembered how much I always loved this song,


and knowing that he suffers from Alzheimer and has forgotten just about everything. I loved to hear him say of the things that he couldn't remember, that it he didn't need to know that...
and the last song he recorded, I'm Not Gonna Miss You

Terry Reid had an interesting music career, a friend of Jimmy Page, he was asked to join the New Yardbirds/Led Zeppelin he couldn't due to a U.S tour with Cream, instead he recommended Robert Plant. Later he was approached to join Deep Purple I think, again couldn't due to contractual stuff, so never made the "big time" - perhaps he's happy about that. I really like this album

My favorite young band currently doing music:

They utterly slay me. Their compositions are incredible, not to mention I'm in love with Ruth's brooding. Can someone get me another beer? See you later, famiglia.

Now many people probably know that Ritchie Blackmores wife, Candice Night, sings in their band Blackmore's Night. This is what it looks like


But I bet not that many people, including myself, knew that Carlos Santanas wife, Cindy Blackman, occasionally likes to play the drums in his band.

I mean what the actual fuck? :oo

She used to play for Lenny Kravitz as well. LK is too much of a cheesy retro guy. Not original enough for me but he does have good musicians.

Is that video an outtake from This Is Spinal Tap?

Blackmore is nuts, he always has been. But he kept it original till today, you gotta give him that. If he wants to play Medieval Renaissance Soft Rock Folk or whatever it is, who wants to question Ritchie Blackmore? :D

Yeah, I read that about Lenny Kravitz.

Dat drum solo tho. Imagine having dinner conversation with your wife who can belt one out like John Bonham.

"I think I catched some Buddy Rich in there tonight, honey?"
"Yes, I went for it."
"Just could you keep it under 10 minutes next time?
"No, fuck you."

Seen this band a few times, at a venue in Glasgow, a sort of cafe/second hand vinyl place, before the gig started, he had his nose stuck down in the rows of records,i just admired him from a distance.

It's just an okay pop type groovy song, but I could listen to the Söderberg sisters sing anything.

I'd even listen to them sing Grateful Dead songs. Seriously. I hope they never do, but I'd listen.

Ace Frehley, the last of the great rock (rawk?) lead guitar players. Before the invasion of the college graduates.

As he says repeatedly in this video, "I don't know what I'm doin'," which is, precisely, what rock and roll is.


I've seen some other videos this guy has done, and his barely-contained (or like here, not contained at all) enthusiasm and insistence on playing along, or asking how certain things are done, is refreshing and inspiring. He annoys me, but I love him.
