As a fellow Zappa fan please give this a listen. Obviously I don't know if you've heard it before, but if not, it's blast !! And I'm not one for Zappa covers, but this almost 10 minute effort from Blood Diaper doing an Apostrohpe death metal medley is a cracker !! So get down with your bad self & do the funky Alfonso !! ( Track takes about 20 seconds to start )

Kinda reminds me of something Captain Beefheart would have done if he was still alive.

I'm just glad they did the right thing & made a good job of the medley. Have to play it twice in a row every time !! Would love to know what
Dweezil Zappa might think of it ??

Here's Blood Diaper's version of I'm The Slime.

I partied with Deb Conway once a long time ago when we were both a lot younger. It was in the mid 1980's. I'd have been in my early 30's and she in her late 20's. She was doing a solo gig at the Wheatsheaf Hotel in Hobart (pub no longer exists). She would have been in the band "Do Re Mi" at the time who'd just had a hit with "Man Overboard" so her career was taking off, which was probably the reason I went to the gig in the first place. When another band came on after her set, she came over to the bar and started chatting to me, much to my surprise. I dunno why she picked me out of all the better looking blokes in the bar. Maybe my slightly unkempt appearance and beat-up leather bike jacket appealed to her. Anyway, we seemed to get on pretty well, had a few dances and drinks together. I thought I might be going to get lucky that night, but alas, when the music acts wrapped up at around midnight she kissed me goodnight and disappeared, never to be heard from again.

Muso lament Cam, full blown stage performance, much punter hooting on the dance floor, 2 hours later... ( all ) alone in the room, no wonder muso's turn to all sorts of "retreat" remedies. Still, you have the memory, short lived what might have been, a smile here. j
 

Motown`s first stab at " disco" ......... ( Shortened radio play version ) .......

Resulting in a sizzling hi-hat ...... and ( wait for it ) one of the most bad-ass riffs known to man / woman / child / perhaps you`d rather not say ..........

When Rolf Harris first sang " Sun Arise " to Beatles producer Geotge Martin , Martin dismissed it as a " dirge " .......... Not to be put off , Harris responded by saying that in Aboriginal culture , phrases were often repeated again and again .........

Martin said ok then , we`ll give a go ........ but at least let`s give it a change of key half way through .........

Result was it ended going to No 3 in the UK charts , and reached No 61 over in the USA ........


Nothing to do with Death In Vegas ......... except the " La La La " is repeated again and again and .................

Another George Martin story is when the Beatles first recorded " Love Me Do " with Pete Best on drums , Martin wasn`t happy with Best , and wanted to get a session drummer in to replace him for the recording .......... But before he did , he got the group together in his office to listen to the recording , and then asked them if there was anything they didn`t like ........

John Lennon replied " Yeah , we don` t like your tie .... " .........



Miley Cyrus covered this Cocteau Twins ditty live , so good for her ...... but originals are usually best ..........

( As Liz Fraser would say ...... " I wee against the tree , bliidly bom bom to me ..... " ) .......... Or something like that , your guess is as good as mine .............


Actually just looked it up , and was amazed to discover that there are proper lyrics to this , which makes a change from Liz just making up random nonsense noises as she goes along , which I always thought was the usual way she went about things ..........

So here`s The Beatles with Pete Bests` replacement doing a George Harrison song ...........

Not content with ( accidently ) nicking The Chiffons " He`s So Fine " and ( accidently ) using it as the basis for " My Sweet Lord " , George only goes on and ( accidently ) pinches the opening line from The McCoys " Sorrow " , and plonks it ( accidently ) in the middle of this .........

That`s George for you ......... accident prone or what ? ..........

Shortened ( by ten minutes ! ) version of the album track ..........

Talking of careering along between Keevil and Kenn ..........

Back in the early `eighties the director of Bristol Airport was careering along in his car heading up towards Kenn Moor on the Somerset Levels , when he overcooked a bend ........ and was drowned when his car ended upside down in a rhine ...........

Whether a monster with huge great claws was involved or not , nobody knows ............

Right , here we go .............

A song inspired by a photo montage image by an anti-Nazi artist ( John Heartfield aka Herman Herzfeld ) ) which was featured on the cover of a German magazine back in 1935 which was inspired by / poked fun at a statement made by Hermann Goring which was originally recorded in English but then re-recorded in German so it could be released as a single in Germany before the drummer and guitarist decided to quit the band moments before they were due to play a gig in Scotland .........

That`s punk rock for you ..........



BTW ........The Goring quote was " Iron always made a nation strong , butter and lard always makes the people fat " ............

The Heartfield piss-take shows a family sat at their dining table happily devouring pieces of metal ..... Hence the song title Mittageisen ( " Metal Lunch " ) .........

An old favourite ......

Bella Poarch sings , M3GAN does ...... something ..........


And there`s Harry wondering why they`re reluctant to provide security for them .......... " It`s insane , right ? " says M3GAN ... ( sorry , Megan ) .......
