The Hurlers as dawn was breaking earlier today. #StandingStoneSunday #SummerSolstice

#DavidsMonthOfMusic 21 A slow song Ramesses - Black Domina A doom supergroup of sorts, Ramesses comprised two members of Electric Wizard and Adam Richardson from Lord Of Putrefaction whose Cookie Monster death metal vocals gave the group a fairly unique sound m.youtube.com/watch?v=h5JN...

OH is watching the Isle Of Wight coverage and Shaun Keaveny's presenting. One of my two minor claims to fame - he was in the year above me at school and my first band supported his band a few times. Nice guy, phenomenal guitarist (he could play Jimmy Page note for note, at 16). Good luck to him

SWEET

The Master & Margerita

Post a comic cover you love

When did cling film stop clinging? #OneJob

Just mowed our 80 foot lawn with headphones on in half an album's time. If it was the neighbour across the way with a third of the size lawn they still wouldn't have finished after getting through the whole of Chicago Live At Carnegie Hall.

#DavidsMonthOfMusic 20 Fast song Wildhearts - Caffeine Bomb Written after the label specifically requested a fast song (presumably after the 1mph sludge of Suckerpunch?!) this 3 minute tongue-twister rattles along like a subterranean drugsuck blues. A karaoke classic! m.youtube.com/watch?v=Mf8_...

I'd forgotten that the Jonathan Ross performance was this; I thought it was 5 o' Clock World. Never mind, have some of this then. I remember taping this performance at the time - legendary in my mind. www.youtube.com/watch?v=sNeV...

And there it is, the metaphoric whistle blows and off I log! Yes, I know it's only four but as the old saying goes: "It's 5 o'Clock somewhere!" (Nördlingen for example, or Gedser, Castelmezzano even) www.youtube.com/watch?v=u7N3...

Thirty minutes and I finish work for a week

I think this might be nudging its way into being my second favourite Patton era album. Mouth To Mouth's been in my head all morning and that's not even the best track (1st favourite is obvious - as Roddy called it 'the reaction album')

Washing up, the water had gone tepid so I ran the tap until it was hot then refilled the bowl with the hot water. Unbeknownst to me the tap had basically been running on the sponge floating in the water which I then proceeded to pick up and squeeze scalding water over my hand. How's your day going?

Treasured clipping from MM Feb 1972 when Mum ordered me to thin my bedroom pile of music papers. I'd only recently discovered them and this was the first live photo I'd ever seen of any of them. You can't begin to understand how mythical the VU still were at this point.

#DavidsMonthOfMusic 19 Somewhere I'd love to visit Love - Maybe The People.... It's no secret that I've always wanted to visit LA, particularly the Sunset Strip and canyon areas, so much history; those legendary clubs, hotels, residencies. A rock and roll pilgrimage! www.youtube.com/watch?v=hwny...

1980, Liverpool. The last ever gig at Eric's. The police raided the place during The Furs set

THE NEW YORK DOLLS

As Faust once sung, J'ai mal aux dents!

The Sovereign Club, Shudehill, Manchester, 1964. Really intrigued by the girl in the centre, she looks to be wearing a parka or other military coat she's written on, possibly band names.

#DavidsMonthOfMusic 18 A classical piece Killing Joke - Invocation From their heaviest album comes this pounding string driven transcendent epic. It may not be strictly classical but as an example of Jaz Coleman's classically trained, symphonic aspirations it works! www.youtube.com/watch?v=faUA...

Not sure if VdGG co-founder Judge Smith has been "handing away credit" so much as people just not knowing this, but it's a great story... www.thinklikeakey.us/the-simpsons...

SILVERTONE/TEISCO 1437 (ET-460/K4L) - 4pu blue solidbody, natural neck/headstock Teisco Japan 1967. Sold. Ultimate Silvertone Teisco Twanger! Pointy cutaways, 4pu, trem, on/off for each pu. George Jetson wants his guitar back! www.vintagesilvertones.com #VintageGuitar #Guitar #Silvertone #Teisco

Saw a guy wearing a Cheap Trick t-shirt in Tescos. But I'm not the sort of person who's able to go up to a complete stranger and say "hey, nice shirt man!". I dunno, I think the one time I did it the guy looked at me like a dog that had been shown a card trick, so I'm probably still burnt by that

#DavidsMonthOfMusic 17 'Fall' in title Moby Grape - Fall On You Written by Peter Lewis this Buffalo Springfieldesque (mouthful) track is much rockier than his usual trademark country style compositions but then again that first classic album is something else really! www.youtube.com/watch?v=sOdL...

#NowPlaying Faith No More - Album Of The Year The title may be a little self-deprecating but their (then) swansong was actually a decent attempt by an old-guard band at keeping their heads above the water in the tide of derivative nu-metal BS that was sweeping the across the rock and metal scene

#DavidsMonthOfMusic 16 Two lead singers Melvins & Napalm Death - Tossing Coins Into The Fountain Of F*ck Stoner meets grindcore, Buzz Osborne swaps vocal lines with Barney Greenway (Osborne sharing a hairstyle with Shane Embury). It's a match made in the netherworlds www.youtube.com/watch?v=keJ3...

This photo of John Cale & Judy Nylon just turned up on my Pinterest feed with no info. I would imagine it was taken in London around 1977?

Birds have been able to fly for billions of years - this we know - but it's nice that pigeons are still so impressed with the ability that they give themselves a round of applause everytime they take off

It's worth restating how virtually nobody in the UK saw Head at the time of its release. I first saw it at a late night showing at the Bristol Arts Centre in 1977. 'Cult movie' doesn't begin to describe its profile.

#DavidsMonthOfMusic 15 Live track Hawkwind - Silver Machine Recorded at the Greasy Truckers Party in 72 the band knew they had something but Bob Calvert's original vocal was all over the place so Lemmy overdubbed vocals over the live backing track and a hit was born www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nysx...

Maggie stage invasion at the end m.youtube.com/watch?v=MRCUKJvpSZk

Mother, what's for tea... #IYKYK

Nice interview with JJ Burnel in this month's Vive Le Rock mag. His undying love for The Gospel According To.. album is actually quite heart warming. He still wants to do a ballet version bizarrely enough

If I’d written this headline I would consider that the pinnacle of my career

This massive Gunnera is totally failing in its attempts to be inconspicuous while trying to sneakily move this old Cornish bridge to a new location.

#DavidsMonthOfMusic 14 Cold in title Big Boy Pete - Cold Turkey A year earlier than Lennon's track came this Cold Turkey (c/w the intriguingly titled My Love Is Like A Spaceship), a psychedelic oddity of the highest calibre. Has anyone deciphered that lyric though? m.youtube.com/watch?v=CTRu...

My youngest was born to this song. Telling Mick about it was one of life’s great moments

We've decided (and booked) that we're gonna stop another night in Brum and have a proper Midlands rock and roll pilgrimage

'kay

There are an awful lot of nice Arthur Leeisms on Michael Head's last album but I like that occasionally the lead guitar comes a little bit more to the fore (as in the last section of this) pushing it from Forever Changes into Four Sail territory. m.youtube.com/watch?v=oEvC...

I promise you. If you look long enough at the sky. If you look long enough at the trees. You will see magic. It is all alive!

NIGEL: It's number five, last week, actually. So, he, he, he, um he asked me, to ask you, Tap, if you would be interested in reforming and, uh, doing a tour. Japan.

#DavidsMonthOfMusic 13 Comfort song Rotary Connection - I Am The Black Gold Of The Sun A lot of 'psychedelic soul' is merely soul with period effects grafted on top but this track is the real thing - genuinely transcendent, synesthetically so! m.youtube.com/watch?v=XCfuQE4YNPo&pp=0gcJCUACo7VqN5tD

I've just realised that spiders essentially spend most of their lives just hanging around, sleeping and waiting for their next meal to just drop into their near vicinity. This is not a criticism
