music in the shed


Australian heart throbs The Valentines featuring one day to be AC/DC vocalist Bon Scott on backing vocals .........

Fave Bon Scott story ? .......... Whilst in hospital for drug related issues , he told a friend that the last time he was in a hospital , he was visiting two separate girls who were both in at the same time , each one expecting his baby ........... What a guy !!!

Seems Robert Fripp has some admirers , so here he is ( along with the missus ) , having a go at East Bay Ray`s guitar bit from The Dead Kennedys " Too Drunk To Fu*k " ...........

Gotta go via YouTube ..........
 

Here`s Mr and Mrs Music again with one that YouTube aren`t quite so nervous about ..........

Seems that Kurt Cobain was going out with Bikini Kill drummer Toby Vail , and they were attending a party along with Kathleen Hanna .......... Hanna apparently scribbled on a wall ....... " Kurt smells of Teen Spirit " ....... ( a deodorant aimed at girls ) ............

Kurt pinched and used this line for one of his band`s hit singles ..........

Since I`ve brought up KC , we may as well have this I suppose .............

David Bowie told Lulu " I want to make a motherfu*ker of a record with you `cos you`ve got a great voice ... " ....... hence her version of this song ...........

Seems he quite liked this version too ......... ( lots of royalties helped sway his decisions as well I expect ..... ) ........

Recent event, gal ( pro Cabaret and session singer ) doing Alanis song, caught up with her post song, with another gal i know, "?? Do you know Thank You/U...to the singer... ?no.. the one she sings in her birthday suit... with that i was remonished by my non singing female as "inappropriate comment" yes of course i am the problem, never mind that is how Alanis sings the song in the video clip..... spare me... j

 
one more.... Tori distracting in the nicest possible musical way, Piano, bass, drums, off we go, sing something...j

*** why do some drummers hold the sticks like chop sticks, i mark the balance point and rest the stick on my upper hand edge there, is it me or them with a bad habit?

I'm a matched grip man, Jon. Can use the trad grip if I wanna look cool :ROFLMAO: As for stick position, it has to be the fulcrum!.

Always blown away at how much control the really hot trad grip drummers have with their 'trad' hand (jazz greats, mostly) ... Buddy Rich comers immediately to mind.

Tah Quentin, fill in drummer when i do, double traditional for 80% of the songs, more so with any syncopation style, stick finger twirl is illusive, though as with any staging the further away, the better it can/does look. One aspect from being on drums, i sort the kick drum sound through the FOH and foldback.

Use one of my old AKG222 dual module mic, inside the shell, the pearl Rhythm Traveler kick sounds like a proper kick should. Many are the real drummers whom are dismissive of my open mic Traveller, until they play it... then the smiles replace the dismissive... oh and 7a's for me... beating the kit into the dirt is not for me. Back to the songs.... j.

Did well Tony, there were amazing bands in the 60's, out here, managed to see some live, though only very young myself. List two notables, last one Ed Kuepper did a lovely rendition of this faith song. j

Cornflake Girl. A good song, despite the rather grim subject matter...

The comments about different drum playing techniques, reminded me of this guy. I think his name is Kevin Tooley.
Don't know the bass player, but he's good.

The other two are: John Cale (of course). And the late, great Ollie Halsall on guitar. Worth a listen, I think.

William Burroughs gets a mention too..

Talent ratio 99:1 ffs, she’s like drunk Aunt on a hen night.
 

.... and talking of musical couples ............ England`s loss was Australia`s gain ............

I always liked Tony Hatch on New Faces ........... Simon Cowell is but a talentless empty sweet wrapper being blown down the road compared to the greatness that is Mr Hatch ...........

Here he and the missus collaborate to produce a single which would have Herb Alpert questioning his very existence ..............


( Sorry , starting to get a little carried away there .......... I`ve calmed down a bit now ......... ) ...........
 

Someone else who went to Australia ... ( via the Isle of Man and Manchester ) .....

........ and then decided he wanted to be famous , so returned to England again ........


Robin gets Babs to warble along to this one ........

Manages to hold a note for eleven seconds ... ( 2:26 - 2:37 ) .... and then carries on as if nothing has happened ...............
