Grohl has a terrible record with band mates and the whole staying alive bit. And now the dragging a talentless lass in to the band bit too. He’s only a hefty hockle away from Stonehenge too- I’d be shiting it if I was him. ( I bet Grohl has 11 on his amps) 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I told she looked puzzled- she thought it was Foo Fighters. She has a point, mind. FF have always been distinctly average…at least Doves haven’t been flogging a dead horse for 20+ years 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lost Souls particularly, but once Ms. F. pointed out the similarity, (and I think it’s just that one song), I couldn’t help but notice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sammynb 3355 Posted July 3, 2023 Share Posted July 3, 2023 Unlike @PaddockLad's huge disco vinyl buying weekend, I got a boxset of Dorothy Ashby's work. Ms Ashby, believe it or not was a 1950-80s jazz harpist, so an African American woman who played a classical instrument as a jazz musician - fuck me that must have been a tough gig. But her work is amazing and well worth disappearing down a hole to find. This was her sixth album as a band leader, released in 1965. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s not bad mate, reminds me a bit of of my old man’s favourites George Shearing & Oscar Peterson ☺️ Anyway, talking of Disco, when was the last time you saw a gatefold like this?? 🕺😀 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sammynb 3355 Posted July 28, 2023 Share Posted July 28, 2023 Anyone else signed up to the latest 65Daysofstatic Patreon dedicated to the 10th anniversary of their release Wild Light? Facinating stuff, weekly they post a song (which is also downloadable) that was written or at least got to a point of possibly being a song but didn't make the finshed release album plus there is a great blog posting to accompany it, talking about the writing process and either why it didn't make the album and if parts of the song ended up elsewhere. Here's the actual album that was released for anyone who doesn't know 65Days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Monkeys Fist 42449 Posted August 8, 2023 Share Posted August 8, 2023 Put “ Discover Station” on today whilst out killing hookers, and it threw up this little gem amongst others. If you like any of ; Neil Young Wish You Were Here era David Gilmour Rumours era Fleetwood Mac and a few other 70s rock types who I can’t quite pick out yet, you’ll probably like it. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You sure this guy isn't Neil Young's illegitimate child? @PaddockLad no not ginger fucking Josh! There is just something about Joshy boy and QOTSA that doesn't sit right. Maybe how he tried to turn Brody Dalle into the new Stevie Nicks??? Or the fact he's just a wanker? He's probably a great guy - hope it's a decent show because no doubt tickets are expensive.

Ayatollah Hermione 13869 Posted August 11, 2023 Share Posted August 11, 2023 The new Rose City Band album has some of my favourite guitar playing of the year with an impeccable summer sound. Guitar playing in the vein of the Allman Brothers with a top class clean sound. No hiding mistakes with gain here 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
