music in the shed


Keeping it dahn saff ( more or less ) with Tav Falco ......... Marge ain`t impressed ................

Tav resists the temptation to turn it into a Pistols / Grundy type confrontation ..........


"Axel Chitteling " is Alex Chilton .... ( Box Tops and Big Star ) ..........

Just heard Chris Rea has passed away ........

Reminds me of when Chris was a guest on the Richard and Judy morning TV show ........

This was some time ago , and he had just recovered from a period of illness , and an operation ...... so was on Richard and Judy to announce his comeback with a new album .

He was telling a story about when he was lying on a trolly in hospital waiting to be wheeled in for the operation ....... He`d been drugged up in preparation for the op , but just as he was drifting into unconciousness he could hear two nurses chatting to each other ........

One said to the other " That`s Chris Rea " ....... The other replied " Who ? " .......... The other one said " You know , Chris Rea ..... he did On The Beach ... " .......

He remembered thinking ..... " If I snuff it , is that all I`m going to be remembered for ... On The Beach ? ........ I can do much better stuff than On The bloody Beach ..... When I get out I`m going to make a new album which will be a million times better than On The Beach ..... " ..........

So here he was on Richard and Judy , about a twelve month later , promoting this new album , which no one remembers ,,.....,, everyone still remembers On The Beach though .............

Of course , compared to later efforts like Road To Hell , or Driving Home For Christmas , On The Beach could be considered a minor masterpiece ..........

The Johnette lives just down the road from my weekend place in JT, never seen her around the 'one horse' town.
 
Seriously impressed Dave, mores the pity not local visible, though understandable for musician icons, what a voice and bass player, am in awe. j.

Yeah, John, the town of Joshua Tree is really a 'one-horse' town, but it is a gateway to Joshua Tree National Park and the Mojave, making it a big draw for performers and artists of all types. Some of them even stick around and build themselves a shack amongst the boulders.
My shack has wheels.

Of some what the theme era, Melvins, latterly Soapgirls, Les always a standout to watch him make his basses talk... Melvins with Terry Gender Bender a fav here. At the Drive in, uncomfortable at its best, latterly Mars Volta. j
