YouTube video by Marc Coker MICK RONSON COMPLETE RAINBOW CONCERT FEB 1974

Mick Ronson Rainbow Concert 1974- AMAZING, someone has done an incredible job of reconstructing this once lost concert, soundtrack is mostly studio, but the offstage stuff is priceless, lots of Bowie people (Garson, Boulder, Gillespie) and Glam kids two years off being Punks youtu.be/XRqmwGF9RXk?...

To be fair, the first song is Crash which, lyrically, is hardly driving music.

Grammar coke.

Today in Surprise Finds on Free Streaming Services: The Fall - Perverted by Language // bis on Tubi. While I love a good remaster/restoration, this untampered gem feels exactly the same as watching the IKON (Factory records) VHS back in those 80’s.

Mortis Dancers.

I remember seeing that for the first time and just knowing what was coming as soon as the track started.

LOVE Blood Spattered Bride, my gateway drug for Euro horror back in the Betamax days. I remember reading a review and thinking “that makes no sense: I have to check that out”. Bought a German Blu Ray a few years back, still great. Also best trailer ever for the double bill youtu.be/qncIm42ciUU?...

I saw it twice at the cinema.

Len’s flares.

What if math rockers DIDN’T dress like math teachers? Love ‘em.

Both I Start Counting and The Offence deal with child abuse and murder. I guess there’s something about the look of Bracknell that screams that to film-makers.

Both I Start Counting and The Offence have leads living in flats in the 17 storey Point Royal. I first saw ISC tripping in a flat in that building, the opening shot is literally the view from the living room we were in. We all thought our brains had broken. A lot of “Is anyone else seeing this?”

It’s Bracknell, near where I grew up. I Start Counting and The Offence were also shot there.

Tough sport, it’s very hard on skiers.

One of the best Magnum P.I. openers ever, largely thanks to them borrowing the Blade Runner music. Total 80’s! youtu.be/cfZz5u_apIE?...

SlapChin

Prosthetics progressed from morticians’ wax, to latex, foam rubber and now silicon, but hairpieces have always been hair threaded through lace and spirit gummed to the head. Also as a member of the bearded community I find the use of face wigs on bald chinners offensive to my people and culture.

I knew he was a Sir but I did not know he was a Jesus.

The Fries of Laura Mars.

That means you are entitled to a free Covid next time, terms and conditions apply.

I remember Monohydrazine was the fuel and that they hardly used the rocket after the pilot ep.

“No viewer left behind” is the Netflix motto.

You should see the action figures…

I’ve been up for hours and have yet to see any art.

A lot of the indie I listened to was quite dubby, the On-U Sounds, 23 Skiddoo, Renegade Soundwave, Colourbox, etc. plus Krautrock steered me in that direction. Also lots of total stoner mates so it was inevitable I’d end up at some after hours sound system events.

Went to quite a few Jah Shaka nights down there, always a great time.
