Have you seen him on this tour? He raised a bit of a fuss over on Morrissey-solo lately with that T-shirt he wore. I missed meeting him by two days when he filmed this video:

No, not bothered to on this tour. I missed meeting him by roughly 18 seconds after this t.v recording:


I'm sure he's a living nightmare, but as long as he's not wearing a Fuck Bukowski.net t-shirt he'll be okay.

I watched that show all the time. It was that or a farm report, and the farm report didn't have guitars, so I watched Welk.

Polka is wrapped up in a lot of cheese, but it's folk music, and was roots music for all those first and second generation upper Midwest iron range transplants from Germany and Scandinavia. Polka is still popular here and in Mexico. They call it Banda, but take away the vocals and it's straight up polka. And the trumpet/trombone/saxophone horn sections from Banda were appropriated by Jamaican ska and reggae musicians in the late 50s, 60s and 70s, which just goes to show you - something. Maybe it shows that you can draw a line from Lawrence Welk to hip hop and all the connections make some kind of absurd sense.

Though you could probably draw a line from Welk to Hitler just as easily. I don't know anything about the guy, but it doesn't seem like much of a stretch. He talked like a Nazi. And all those blond girls in dirndls...that was some Master Race shit going on there.

Here in the 'burbs of Chicago, I've spent a lot of time with the TV turned to the local cable access channel. The scrolling text and cheesy visual effects are as lame as any "Wayne's World" sketch. But the music is all jazz - mostly 40's thru 60's straight up swing, "cool", bop, and post-bop. Bird and Dizzy, Miles, Dexter Gordon, Brubeck, Cannonball, Wayne Shorter etc..

Would like to hear more on this 18 second close shave with Morrissey. The stubborn bastard would financially be best served joining up again with Marr. But yeah, a living nightmare I doubt would ever lead up to expectations.

Idle and Harrison sharing screen time brightens a dull work day. Thanks for that. And desertlizard, I had my doubts about you with that slayer! nonsense (even my open-mindedness has its limits...heh) but even though I'm not the biggest fan of prog-rock I'd be a fool to deny that record doesn't cook it to a perfect taste. Just a great record period.

Don't forget, "I'm Waiting For The Man", on the same album.

Yeah, that's a great song too. I love the piano sound on that song, relentless pounding, so simple yet so effective. The Velvet Underground & Nico is still one of my all time favourite albums. Although i must say i still prefer white light/white heat, cause it's so chaotic and fragmented.

I just saw these guys in action. The Dandy Warhols. I hear that Hooch is a huge fan! :rolleyes:
The sound was very good, I caught the playlist, with a boot print. woooahh! If you like to bounce off the walls, that's one for you! The keyboardist Zia was in great shape.

I am from Portland and have been to many of their shows and every one of them was a blast. . .the best was when they played in this old church in Salem--all of these frat boys were there--and they had a bunch of dancers on stage wearing fur coats and boots but nothing else. This guy keeps yelling, "Show us your tits!" (Um, they were) and they stop playing and order their real fans to boo him and throw stuff at him until he left. Which he did, quickly.

Listening to a lot of The Jam lately. Also waiting for the Aimee Mann show I'm going to next month! Jesus, I've been wanting to see her since I was in the 5th grade.
