It's that car again...

Just be careful that you don't switch them all off if you're playing a gig......that was a fault of the lovely, if somewhat rare, Gibson ES-220 Personally I find this Airline guitar a little too cluttered with knobs and switches. Can't beat a Fender Telcaster for control simplicity.

a bit of fun for a Tuesday Noisestorm - Crab Rave (Official Music Video) Wherever that is, I wanna go there...by myself!

Works like a charm today. Whaddaya know. Thanks, chums. John Foxx And The Maths (Featuring The Soft Moon) - 'Evidence'

62...not there for awhile, myself. But the years are creeping up on me too. I love David Sylvian's music and was drawn to it in my early teens. How totally awesome it was to hear Bill's guitar on 'Gone To Earth' and then later on some Rain Tree Crow cuts. But then Mick Karn and his rad bassline on 'Glow World'...the Yukihiro drum patterns? Aw, they were buddies...I can dig it!

I’d forgotten that Lyle was a co-writer of ‘This Is Not America’

Much talent in the family 👍

@Tourist the What's in my Bag? uploads to YouTube from Amoeba Records I think you'd find entertaining, Tourist. Here's the Amoeba channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC9DkCKm4_VDztRRyge4mCJQ

Thanks, Brassneck, for the reminder about The Motels. Great style. ‘Only The Lonely’ and especially ‘Suddenly Last Summer’ always give me the goosebumps when I hear them.

This 'Inside The Freemasons' Oldest Grand Lodge' from Business Insider appeared in my YouTube feed this morning ... Inside The Freemasons' Oldest Grand Lodge

There's a drawing by John Lennon that because of the way he drew the eyes always reminds me of Marty Feldman and vice-versa and the prose actually remind me of something John Cooper Clarke would appreciate and it's called, of all things, I'll have to listen to this again. What was that about Screaming Lord Such helping Malcolm put up a sign? Nice that this started out with the fading coda of Lightning Strikes the Klaus Nomi version, the promo vid of which is one of my favourites. Klaus Nomi - Lightning Strikes I thought John was shopping for blue suede shoes at SEX when Malcolm first set eyes on him. Glad Malcolm's set the record straight for me. Lydon was in fact looking for 'a pair of actual brothel creepers in white suede.' Love Malcolm's Vivienne voice imitation as well! The London S.S. asked John Foxx to be their singer. I remember reading that a few times. Nice that Malcolm says things like obstreperous and officious. Read once Genesis P-Orridge crediting himself for giving the name "BOY" (BOY-London) in honour of Sleazy (Peter Christopherson). I'd had it my mind that SEX and BOY-London were connected fashion enterprises. ... and from the official statement from TG on the death of Sleazy: Sleazy’s visual art career included work as a member of the influential British design agency Hipgnosis, creating iconic record sleeve artwork in the 1970s for Led Zeppelin and Pink Floyd and, later, Factory Records. He took the first promo photographs of the Sex Pistols, created a highly controversial window display for Malcolm McLaren and Vivienne Westwood’s clothing shop, SEX, and went on to design the logo of the hugely popular fashion company, BOY. Just finished watching Six Degrees of Marty Feldman. It brings back memories. I was drawn to MF when I was a child. My parents knew all about Spike Mulligan, but I did not. I experienced the Spike offshoots, like the Monty Python people, The Two Ronnies, Marty Feldman, Peter Sellers ... He was ever-present on US television and in movies at least during my pre-teenaged years. Seems to me that Mel Brooks, Dom DeLuise, Gene Wilder, Richard Pryor, that crowd, was the right kind of crowd to land in once he "went Hollywood." Sad it didn't quite work out. I was fascinated by him. I've never been able to watch Yellowbeard, though, all the way through. It's difficult to watch it, seems quite bleached out, visually, and difficult to follow because of that. Loved Young Frankenstein, Silent Movie and In God We Tru$t. Never seemed like British people in entertainment were ready for the US and vice-versa and I'm not sure why that is. It's all different now, though, of course. Don't think I saw The Last Remake of Beau Geste but I remember the title and the look of it so I must've done. Interesting that he and Buster had a similar experience with Hollywood and were laid to rest near one another. He was lucky to have Lauretta in his corner. Be curious to see all the pre-Hollywood stuff available as well. There is a perfect quote from Barry Levinson in this documentary about how Hollywood makes people less and less special. You do feel it when you're there. He says, "The more that Marty moved into the kinda LA culture and Hollywood in a sense, you know, you become less special than in fact you are. and I think Marty needed, you know, to be protected of a system that only wants things a certain way, and what made him special was that he wasn't that and you can't turn him into something that he's not." I think that's happened a few people in Hollywood, but, from what I can see, Marty did pretty much what he wanted over here. He's not really a tragic figure in that sense at all. Marty had a happy time no matter where he was or what he was doing. What a ball of energy he was. Overactive thyroid indeed, overactive EVERYTHING. Speaking of which, I don't think I knew the reason his eyes were the way they were before watching this or I might've forgotten. There's a drawing by John Lennon that accompanies one of his poems in the book In His Own Write that because of the way he drew the eyes of this creature I'm always reminded of Marty Feldman and vice-versa. The prose actually remind me of something John Cooper Clarke would appreciate and it's called, of all things, Alec Speaking. Alec Speaking He is putting it lithely when he says, Quobble in the Grass, Strab he down his soddieflays Amo amat amass; Amonk amink a minibus, Amarmylaidie Moon, Amikky mendip multiplus Amighty midgey spoon. And so I traddled onward Careing not a care Onward, Onward, Onward, Onward, my friends to  victory and glory for the thirtyninth. Source: https://tinyurl.com/urdtcuh

I don’t believe I ever saw “Hawaiian Eye” or even heard of it. Reading the Wikipedia entry and immediately it looks like “Hawaii Five-O” must’ve been inspired by it.

Interesting points and regarding that number reversal, every time I think of Brilliant Trees nowadays inevitably this bit of recording process on it that Steve captured at the time I want to check out again ... Wayne Braithwaite recording at Hansa Studios 1983

Cool band. Great songs. Evocative, ambient, everything. RIP.

Thanks for these links 🙏 and all this information.

Beautiful images, creepy and interesting those colour combinations. That seat of exaltation is quite something. Am immediately attracted to the beehive with bees emerging from it. Didnt't know the Masons were down on the Rhetoricians for heresy.

'Tourist is typing' .... never noticed such a notification here before.

Come along, you are all welcome!

As already posted by Jim in a previous thread, Johnathan Pie sums up the reality of the last 9 years of Tory rule...and that targeted and sustained brutality is now set to continue for at least another five years..a genuinely frightening prospect.. so you can fear for your future even more now. A Decade of The Tories.

Switched on the BBC a few minutes ago -- taking a break from the [I wish they weren't so] very boring impeachment hearings -- and the first thing I heard was someone saying, 'It looks like the end of your kind of Tory Party, one that was pro-EU, more Southern, etc. to one that is more Northern, more Blue Collar and essentially the Brexit Party.'

Sometimes, I've noted, that "Chuck" has something in mind, and it is what it is, and there's noting we can do about it. Oh, a new trend I heard on two news programs today, the undermining/dismantling of democracies is underway in many areas of the world. And like climate change, the prediction is for increases of the processes to further weaken democracies. Welcome to the preamble of the "Shoes of the Fisherman" or "1948" or "Thunderdome" or Bladerunner and sequel, etc. The governments wants you to believe the world is the above. I for one just don't like my pulse being taken for social status/economic reasons....or even worse medical reasons (life, illness, death), etc. TiC (Toungue in Cheek) Lancelot and Guinevere must be shedding it again! I hope I can find a tree to wait it out within... ToC (humorist twist on TiC) And with that, and my evening medications, I'm boarding with Little Nemo or the KLF (whichever is offering the best paradise destination)! LOL (Lots of ?Love?) or LOH (Lots of Humor) - you decide. My I do "Ramble On" - No prize if you know the reference. "Here Comes the Sun" - takes on a rather sinister shade in these days of global warming. "Copyright, Copyright" - Beatles Christmas Greeting. Since there's a song about the Magic Bus, shouldn't there be a song about the Magic Internet? That's a Never Know Question..... Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz……..I'm REMing typing again!

That was directed at them, by the way, Serge, not you. :)
