It was bizarre, and you have to ask, who the fuck designed this?

That said some of the sleeves Andrew Lauder commissioned for Hawkwind were things of beauty. Still, when you have Barney Bubbles at your disposal

First two albums are classics

Whenever I hear Smalltown Boy it always reminds me of a pub where we did a weekly quiz back in the day. The fruit machine there used to play a snatch of the instrumental melody every 30 seconds with the display featuring a winking Eric Bristow. Darts themed gambling soundtracked by Bronski Beat. Yep

I can never remember all the original members of Chicago; Robert Lamm, Terry Kath, Lee Loughnane, et Cetera, et Cetera...

Ha, love the way you've gone for the muzzie era Mandelson

Remembering Arthur "Killer" Kane on his birthday. This very moving film about the remarkable life of the New York Dolls bassist is one of the greatest music documentaries

YouTube video by Funkadelic - Topic Better By The Pound

According to Wiki, Billy briefly reunited with George, Eddie et al, to lay down the bass for this cut:

Great bassline and one of my favourite Clinton lyrics "There's a tidal wave of mysticism surging through our jet age generation"

Those were the days when an underground label would gift you ALL that on a debut whim! Dean's best cover for me too, especially the full six panel foldout. Shit, you wouldn't even get this level of gimmickery from UA (you'd have to at least be on album no. 2). Great album; like The Beta Band in 1971

✌️✌️✌️

Metallica still local before they hightailed it to San Francisco.

31st Jan apparently, literally just saw a post on here a couple of hours ago, it was in German but I got the unfortunate gist of it

'Cos CEOs, Tech-bros and sub-Kendall Roy doofuses can't get excited about the run of the mill shit poor people have on *their* cars

One of those bands that I keep hearing about but have never actually heard

Up there with She's Leaving Home and Up The Junction in being a compact, self contained and perfectly realised lyrical vignette

Presumably a Geoff Barton piece

Ah shit, just found out Billy Bass Nelson died recently. My favourite bass player from the PFunk world, his playing across Free Your Mind, Maggot Brain and Osmium is up there with any rock player IMHO
Here he is giving total attitude on the inner gatefold of Maggot Brain. RIP

For a hot minute there I thought "Why is Ray Davies wearing a bandana?"

This Heathen Land is an album ripe with imagery

"Make Philip K Dick Fiction Again"

On the very few occasions I ever saw Location Location Location it was always something like "Tim is a newly graduated student looking for his first home, he's got a budget of just £350,000"
WTF, my post-graduate budget was being able to afford £1 a pint on Tuesdays in Grand Central on Oxford Road

No mention of why they turned up to arrest her in the first place. That's just teasing the readership!

Mike Love fuming at home waiting for the phone to ring

Yeah, he's way too busy with his peieiadophelia to do it himself

Make up the guest room at his brother's pleasure!
