What was the last... `Tune` that you played ?

Sara Lee was discovered by Robert Fripp & played with him before joining Go4

Dave sez he told Led Zepplin their music would go down like a lead balloon. Hence their name.
Anyone else know that story?"
I've also heard it attributed to Keith Moon.

Currently listening to Richard Thompson's latest, an acoustic album of past hits. It's a bit lazy in its execution, but in a way that makes it more enjoyable.

I'd ask but he's busy snoring at the moment.



Fantastic call on the Stranglers' Walk On By. Shatner also did a great cover of Rocket Man (as did Kate Bush, although at a different end of the talent spectrum).

That's a strange comment.

He reckons that he doesn't like "old music", by which he means anything with a 19 in the date with the honourable exception of Bohemian Rhapsody. So I said I could come up with ten songs all from the pre-computer era with a fair chance that he would like at least one of them.
This is what I came up with:
Simon & Garfunkel - sound of silence
Led Zeppelin - Stairway to Heaven
ZZ Top - Legs (I'm hoping that the video might appeal!)
The Kinks - Lola
Beatles - Hey Jude
Lynyrd Skynyrd - Sweet Home Alabama
Rolling Stones - You can't always get what you want
Eagles - Hotel California
Bruce Springsteen - Born to Run
Fleetwood Mac - Albatross.
His challenge over the remainder of the school holiday is to yoofchube them (the only way he access music). I defy him not to like at least one.
What do you think? Anything else you would add to the list for a boy who thinks that it ain't music unless it's techno dubstep monstercat? Or something like that.

The theme song for The Vikings. Fricking brilliant!

I have just listened to the new Pink Floyd album "Endless River".
I was actually pleasantly surprised. It goes back to really early Pink FLoyd. Bold instrumentals, slightly surreal and in fact very well prodiced.
If you don't like Pink Floyd you will not like this album at all.
If you liked Echoes this is going to press all the buttons.

I inflicted the Gorillaz on Dave on the weekend. Hehe

Chris Rea - God's Great Bana..." How about Autumns Child by Captain Beefheart on Safe as Milk. Surely one of the most beautiful and haunting tracks of all time.

I cannot believe its over 40 years old. I also cannot believe going to see them in concert when they had released it. Yikes.

Amazing festival with T Rex (complete with Marc Bolan), Faces, load of others...... Often listen to T Rex now.

You mean you weren't around in the late Cretaceous period?

I was, but they hadn't developed long playing records and I couldn't stand singles.


Still sounds fresh even after all theses years.

I could fancy some of that. I think they've been releasing them on vinyl too, easy present if someone could alert the wife.
