The #ChurchOfRockAndRoll #18 Memphis, 1962. Two white & two black musicians formed a band with a new instrumental take on R&B. They made no big deal about being mixed-race, they just stood as equals and showed black and white were great together. All hail Booker T And The MGs.

"It's the Beatles' bloody White Album, shut up!"

"Cool, groovy, morning, fine Tipper Gore was a friend of mine" How much would your record collection have upset the self-righteous, censorious PMRC back in the day. How many of the Filthy Fifteen do you own? (Disappointingly I'm only a relatively safe 5) en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parents...

Here comes the ref

And of course it was Klaus Voorman's work. Here they all are in better quality than my earlier post

Like Complete Illustrated Lyrics but it's every Beatles song represented by a reproduction of an original period sheet music publication, so you get the lyrics and the chords and of course these beauties from Revolver

Agreed, but I also reckon one of the best post-punk albums of the era. Up there with Unknown Pleasures, Ocean Rain and Wilder for me

Killing Joke - Bloodsport Youth once claimed their first album had a huge Chic influence - I hear more Hawkwind than Nile Rogers - but this track is genuinely funky, like Faust jamming with Parliament. Post-PFunk-Krautpunk. Yowsa yowsa yowsa! www.youtube.com/watch?v=rJA6...

A mystical magical morning here in Glastonbury today.

#NowPlaying - Some Girls Wander By Mistake Excellent comp of the band's early singles/EPs when they still had their wiry post-punk feet lodged firmly in the primitive noisescape of Stooges, Link Wray, even Gun Club & Cramps. And of course, Andrew sings 1969 in his least Iggyish voice possible

Sylvain was one of my favorite “guitar partners” to be in a band with. I haven’t had many (since I mostly play in trios) but he’s HIGH on the list… 😜🌿💨 Miss him! ♥️ #SylvainSylvain #Guitar #SteveConte #NewYorkDolls #RockAndRoll

Just another memory jog that I'm doing a turn here on Saturday night, so all you Sussex by The Sea heads get yourself down there for Syd chat and the inevitable off topic delights. www.tickettailor.com/events/thepi...

We (i.e. Cardiacs) are doing a warm up show in Portsmouth before our London / Manchester / Glasgow shows in March, which I’m sure you’ll agree is an absolute boon for everyone living in Hampshire and West Sussex

Slade In Flame : 1975 A Slade Cinema Debut Spotlight Premiered in cinemas across the U.K. on January 12, 1975, Slade’s Slade In Flame — the band’s debut feature film — was a gritty, semi-autobiographical drama directed by Richard Loncraine.

On this day in 1895 inventor Laurens Hammond was born! In 1933 Hammond invented his famous organ. Hammond passed away in 1973. The organ has been a part of Deep Purple's sound from the very beginning. What's your favorite Hammond contribution in a Deep Purple song?

Today marks 23 years since we sadly lost Mickey Finn (Michael Norman Finn), the percussionist who was the heartbeat and groove of classic T.Rex. Born 3 June 1947, Mickey joined Marc Bolan in late 1969, replacing Steve Peregrine Took.

Slightly Diminish A Band Echo & The Hamstermen

Watched and very much enjoyed Guillermo Del Toro's Frankenstein last night. Also enjoyed the Percy Bysshe Shelley reference (Ozymandias) but of course, if Mr Shelley exists in that world this also suggests Mary does too which would technically make her book a biography. I over think everything

Slightly diminish a band Blue C̈lam Cult

Oh hai

Did you know that Ronnie James Dio wasn't the first to replace Ozzy in Sabbath? When he walked out during early rehearsals for Never Say Die the band recruited Dave Walker who even wrote lyrics for some of the new material. Ozzy subsequently rewrote them on his return m.youtube.com/watch?v=bRJb...

Here them and see them first and we'll talk about them afterwards...

#5debutalbums9094 #albumoftheday Manic Street Preachers - Generation Terrorists (1992) The Manics stride across the Severn Bridge with a solid debut double album and New Year Zero in their hearts. The songs don't quite live up to the rhetoric. Best track - Motorcycle Emptiness #NowPlaying

The bumps don't work

Sowing The Seeds Of Love came on before and it reminded me of when I first played my mate The Dukes Of Stratosphear. "Meh, sounds like Tears For Fears". Damn, but you're so close. It's almost as if one inspired the other, but not in the order you're suggesting

And again ten of my faves, not necessarily the best but with an angle on how they serve the song... Simon King Mo Tucker Budgie Ian Paice Guy Evans Iain Templeton Sean Moore Phil Taylor Paul Ferguson Scott Asheton

7 days into a new year and frankly, fuck this shit!

Doug Neidermeyer will return in AVENGERS: A PLEDGE PIN?!

Some personal favourites of mine but by no means definitive - or indeed indicative of virtuosity, it's about what you bring! Dennis Dunaway Dave Alexander Billy 'Bass' Nelson JJ Burnel Macca Danny McCormack Steve Severin Geezer Tom Petersson Duff McKagan

#NowPlaying Faith No More - King For A Day... First album without Jim Martin and TBH it just allowed them the space to bring more of their alternative, post-punk and funk influences forward whilst still retaining a choppy metallic edge (and Billy Gould's bass is mixed nice and high this time)

Eee, it's a bit slippy out there
