music in the shed


..... no music , but quite an amusing story ......... It seems that Gibson LP sunburst was originally given by Joe Walsh to Pete Townshend , then to Johnny Marr , then to Noel Gallagher ....... who then used it to KO a stage invader in Newcastle ...... quite a journey ........... A bit like a nice GSX-R which eventually ends up in the hands of a hooligan who crashes it into a lamp post ........

...... and finally ...... How they made records 47 years ago .......... building up slightly different layers of rhythm guitar apparently ..............

The bit about trying to incorporate some of Sid`s bass ( Matlock`s replacement ) on a " subsonic " level , and then having to give up ......... reminds me of the Linda McCartney vocal tracks for Wings having the engineers rolling about on the floor in fits of laughter .....It seems they were incorporated , but on that " subsonic " level mentioned here .......

Linda ...... " Are you sure I`m on this track Paul ? " ........
Paul ........." You are dear , you are ....... " ...........

...... just remembered this from 1978 , another one of those tunes which followed you around from pub jukebox to pub jukebox ......

Big hit in UK ; Europe , and Australia ( 24 weeks in the charts there ... ) .......

Vocalist and bass player Kit Hain ..... ( wrote for Heart ; Chaka Khan ; Fleetwood Mac ; Cyndi Lauper ; Pete Cetera , amongst others ....... ) .........
 

.... meanwhile Welsh popsters Young Marbel Giants look forward to nuclear armageddon ........

..... Somehow , I don`t think putting a blanket over the window pane is going to be enough to save the people who never had their say ........

...... and seeing we won`t be getting any more from Clara , we may as well have this as well .............

............. Home is where you`re happy , as long as it`s not 10050 Cielo Drive ...........

........... All this talk about Aurora Borealis recently reminded me of this ........ Not sure if it`s really all that visible from South Cal , but that`s not going to stop Neil including it here ........ and Pocahonas ( aka Rebecca Rolfe ) actually hailed from Virginia , which is about as far from Holywood as you can possibly get without falling into the water ........... ( although The Astrodome is / was a bit closer ) , but never mind ................

Pocahontas , by the way , is buried at Gravesend , Kent , after becoming ill on her journey back to North America ........

..... You can skip Neil`s doubtless well intentioned twenty minute spoken intro if you wish ......

Spoilin' the party would be a 'Crime in the City'.

Neil can get it back on track:
"The artist looked at the producer
The producer sat back
He said, "What we have got here, is a perfect track
But we don't have a vocal
And we don't have a song
If we could get these things accomplished
Nothing else could go wrong"
 

Off on a tangent again .......

...... and thinking about Later ..... Belly were on back in 1993 ( also with The Kinks ) , and they did Slow Dog , but that was pretty grim ........

....... This is a lot better ..........
 
Since you mentioned 'Later', I was in the studio the night she sang this.
It was utterly compelling!
Watching, on a screen, at best, you're gonna get about 10% of the power she had live.
