That Was The Week That Was
May. 19th, 2023 07:01 pmQuite a week, this one... Not so much for me, but the world has been busy, in mostly unpleasant ways
Certainly not a good week to be a Bass player - we lost 2 great ones John Giblin who, like David Lindley who passed earlier this year, was one of those musicians you've never heard of, but have certainly heard... on music by Peter Gabriel, Phil Collins, Kate Bush, Simple Minds, Brand X, Eric Clapton, Paul McCartney (you'd have to be a good bass player to be on a McCartney album!!), Al Green, Annie Lennox, Joan Armatrading... et infinitus cetera... We also lost Andy Rourke most famously of The Smiths, whose style was entirely his own...
It was also a normal week for Elon Musk, who can always be relied on to spout some batshit-crazy, out-of-touch, billion-dollar-baby, right-wing bullshit almost on demand... & even if you don't demand it. This week, he's still banging on about working from home & how it mostly hurts his feelings, as it certainly hasn't been proved to hurt productivity. These are obviously the words of a man with too much money invested in soon-to-be-obsolete office buildings
Meanwhile, here in Australia, we've been indulging in some not-so-casual racism because a well-respected journalist, writer & Aboriginal person had the nerve to talk openly about the atrocities inflicted on his people in the name of British Kings & Queens over the last 200 years or so... & he had the nerve to do so during a telecast of the coronation of Charles III. So of course, social media has lit up like... well. like burning crosses actually, leading to Stan Grant's decision to walk away from his job & career indefinitely, due to both the abuse directed at him & his family, but also the lack of support from his employer - the Australian Broadcasting Commission, who, you'd think, really should know better... What will it take to eradicate this kind of outdated, parochial hatred from not just Australia, but the rest of the world. Every time we breathe a sigh of relief that some old white racist son of a bitch has died, it seems their poison has infected dozens, if not hundreds of impressionable young people to carry on... & carry out this unending legacy of fear-based abuse & violence
To finish the week on a lighter note - unless any of your ancestry were on the Titanic, a picture has been doing the rounds on the 'net of a modern-day cruise ship & the Titanic, showing the truly mind-boggling size difference 100 years or so has made to nautical luxury... As someone commented - "the modern ship would simply haul the iceberg on board to supply the cocktail bar"
Some John Giblin bass-playing, on a song you may know...
& Andy Rourke, making the Smiths sound amazing... that's him on the left
Next!!!

Vale - David Lindley
Mar. 5th, 2023 09:21 amDavid who, you say??
David Lindley was a guitarist whose presence & playing on any number of songs by other artists, made the music just that much better. Imagine this song, which you'll all know, without his lap steel playing...
While he had his own bands & projects over the years, he'll always be one of those kind of anonymous 'session' players you've always heard, but never heard of...

R.I.P. Renee Geyer
Jan. 17th, 2023 09:43 pmNot very well known outside of Australia, but one of our most respected singers of the last 50 years, Renée Geyer has died of cancer
A Diva in the true sense of the word... this may as well be her theme song...
I really don't like the way this year has started... Reboot please!!

This One Hurts... So Much
Jan. 12th, 2023 09:54 pmFarewell to the electric guitar genius Jeff Beck
The first of the top 3 guitar players in my life has gone... never suspected he'd be the first one to go, but bacterial meningitis doesn't play favourites
3 reasons why he was known as 'the guitarist's guitarist'...
And there's so much more... Thanks Jeff, for showing us that breaking the 'rules' could be a wonderful thing... & for so much wonderful music. Unforgettable & utterly irreplaceable

RIP Mike Nesmith
Dec. 11th, 2021 07:26 amMike Nesmith - arguably the most talented Monkee has passed at 78
Like most of Gen X, I grew up with re-runs of The Monkees TV show, but here in Australia, Mike was most famous for this:
The ABC used to show this in breaks between programs fairly often, especially just after the end of Dr Who & before the 7pm news. One of, if not the first 'music videos' that didn't just show the musician(s) standing on a stage playing & singing, it also showed his wonderfully absurd humour... & I still hear "Reno? Why Reno" "Not Reno dummy... Rio. Rio De Janeiro!" in my head, any time someone mentions either city...
Later on, in my 20s, I began finding his wonderfully titled albums in 2nd-hand LP shops - 'Infinite Rider On The Big Dogma', 'From A Radio Engine To The Photon Wing' & others. Even later, I discovered his work with the First National Band & that he'd written 'Different Drum' - a song covered by so many country artists, including Australia's Flying Emus...
So goodbye, Mike, you'll be leaving...

RIP Charlie Watts
Aug. 25th, 2021 03:53 pmAnother musical hero has gone...
My favourite drum performance of his - reggae meets disco in a blues club
And just my favourite Stones video of all, with the band members being exactly what we think they're like:- Mick cavorting & preening, Keith being arrogantly cool, Ronnie stealing scenes & pulling focus, Bill trying to look cool, but can't help posing... & Charlie, who just thinks this rock band gig is a bit of a laugh...
Thanks for keeping the band in line & in time Mr Watts...

RIP Sean Lock
Aug. 19th, 2021 10:17 amAnd now I'm even more sad... Sean Lock has passed, from cancer. Simply one of the best British comedians of the last 20 years or so & a mainstay on the TV 'panel show' circuit - if Sean was part of the lineup on any show, it would be worth watching... especially, of course on 8 Out Of 10 Cats & its hybrid spinoff 8 Out Of 10 Cats Does Countdown The great thing about Sean was how well he interacted with all the other comedians on his team. No matter who it was, he created a unique duo - Bill Bailey, Miles Jupp, Joe Wilkinson, Johnny Vegas, Roisin Connaughty, Claudia Winkleman, Katherine Ryan... there were magic moments with all of them, because he'd find a way to work with anyone without imposing, or losing his own wonderful style.
One of the first times I saw him was on QI, in the episode featuring the Galapagos Tortoise. David Mitchell & Alan Davies are at their best, but Sean drops in a couple of wonderful lines that make it even funnier
In fact, he elevated ANY panel show he was part of, but he will forever be remembered for the game 'Carrot In A Box' where he faces off against Jon Richardson...
And the rematch...
Thank you Sean, for all my hysterical laughter over the years
Departures & Drudgery
Oct. 7th, 2020 10:32 pmThe band in Heaven already has some great guitar players... but there's nobody up there like Eddie Van Halen - well, there is now... Vale Eddie. Well played Sir
Other than that sad news, I don't have much to report, really - still going through the photo & diary backlog from the roadtrip, dull days at work... about the only exciting thing that happens every day is trying to give Bella an antibiotic tablet, which she really doesn't want... I still have all my fingers & she's not sneezing any more, so I think that means I'm winning

Oh Well...
Jul. 26th, 2020 11:33 amDon't ask me what I think of Peter Green - one of the under-rated British blues guitarists of the 60s. Having first come to prominence as Eric Clapton's replacement in John Mayall's Bluesbreakers, I'm sure it was difficult to shine in 'God's' shadow, but he somehow managed to find his own distinct voice on guitar & went on to found Fleetwood Mac - named after the 2 other Bluesbreakers he brought to the band... & in tandem with Jeremy Spencer, they were a 'blues' band unlike any other...
Vale Peter... Thanks for the music
And Another...
May. 8th, 2020 06:27 pmHere's hoping this is the 3rd & final one in the current batch of dead heroes...
Vale Sweet Pea Atkinson... most famously the vocalist for Was (Not Was)
One of those great, gravel-voiced singers with buckets of attitude, timing & personality. And funky as all get-out!!
Rest in Peace Sweet Pea... now maybe you can gargle something for that sore throat!!

Farewell Guys...
May. 7th, 2020 06:59 amVale - Florian Schneider of Kraftwerk... one of those musicians you can say changed modern music, bringing new sounds & imagery that are still in the 'manual' for many musicians & artists
And, I only just read... Vale Dave Greenfield of the Stranglers as well. Another Covid victim... but one of the most distinctive rock keyboard players ever. Without him, the Stranglers would have been just another bunch of pub rockers trying to be the Sex Pistols. With him, they were this...
And Florian & Kraftwerk? Well, what can one say...

Tim Brooke-Taylor has passed away from the dreaded Covid19...
My weeknights in the 70s & 80s would have been a lot more serious & a whole lot less funny & silly without him, along with Graeme Garden & Bill Oddie in The Goodies... I discovered later how far back his comedy career went, in other shows & radio programs he was involved in during the 60s &, like all the members of Monty Python, it was fascinating to see how they all came together through these various sketch & topical comedy shows, before coalescing into the 'ultimate' vehicle
I looked on Youtube this morning for the perfect Goodies sketch to post &, instead, found something I'd never seen before - Tim making an appearance on The Paul Hogan Show, back when Paul was actually funny, had good writers & no plastic surgery. Like most humour from the 70s, it skates a bit close to the line, but not in a mean-spirited way
Vale Tim... If only you had emigrated to Australia, you would still be here, making us laugh

Goodbye Ginger...
Oct. 7th, 2019 08:22 amA bit more Cream has gone off...
I spent a good portion of my musical life looking for a drummer who could play like Ginger Baker, in the context of the kind of music I wanted to do - someone who would not just sit there & keep time, but push & propel the music, adding & changing things just with little, but hugely noticeable variations... In 30 years of playing, I found one guy who came close... & he was every bit as much of an egotist & arrogant prick as Ginger reportedly was
But Mr Baker was, as even his estranged son has to admit, a great drummer... So many of today's standard rock rhythms came from him - not least the over-used 'Manchester' beat, used by the Stone Roses, Happy Mondays & Inspiral Carpets, but first heard on the live version of 'Crossroads' (literally 'kicks' in at around 3.13) in 1968, as Ginger used it to double time the song to its end
And like most sociopath misanthropes, he could be a charming bastard...

The Doctor Is Out...
Jun. 7th, 2019 02:32 pmFarewell Mac 'Dr John' Rebennack
One of many musicians I discovered through Eric Clapton... who played on some Dr John albums & played the occasional gig together. I then saw him play in the movie 'The Last Waltz' - & was hooked... went out & bought as many LPs of his I could find... this was in the days before CDs & the lower end of Pitt St in Sydney was home to several good 2nd hand record shops. I used to head there after school & spend an hour a day just drifting from one to the next, as my schoolbag got heavier with everything from the Allman Brothers to Frank Zappa
Never saw him play live... & haven't been to New Orleans, but the good Doctor always made it sound like a great place to be... in some bar at 3am...

Pete Shelley of The Buzzcocks has died...
Perfect punk pop songs that never went for much longer than 3 minutes &, occasionally, much less...
It's starting to feel a bit like a Stranglers song 'round here...

One (Mostly) For Australians
Oct. 23rd, 2017 10:29 pmVale George Young...
Co-founder & songwriter (with the equally great Harry Vanda) of our first 'supergroup' the Easybeats... production & songwriting powerhouse for the Australian music scene in the 70s & into the 80s, providing hits for so many Australian artists, as well as the occasional international act...
Probably most famous for this...
... which was included in Richard Thompson's list of the best songs of the last 1000 years
Older brother of Angus & Malcolm... who today said there "would have been no AC/DC without him"
But I'll never forget seeing him as one half of 'Flash & the Pan' on Sunday night television singing this...
And this one... if you've made it this far...
Farewell to an absolute giant of the Australian music scene... So long & thanks for all the hits!!!

Sep. 4th, 2017 06:52 amOh no...
Not Walter Becker...
Steely Dan were one of the (many) bands my Father & I bonded over & I remember how incredibly happy he was when we got to see them back in the 00s. Hell, I remember how ecstatic I was...
Rest in Peace Walter - you left the world a jazz/funk/pop/rock/soul/bluesier place than you found it...

Goodbye John Clarke
Apr. 11th, 2017 09:59 pmThis one is painful for Australians... & New Zealanders. John was a brilliant satirist, writer & performer who came to trans-Tasman attention back in the 70s with his character Fred Dagg, whose monologues exposed the absurdity & whimsy of everyday life
For the last 27 years or so, he worked with Brian Dawe on a weekly 3 minute sketch skewering whatever news had come to light that week. Here's how they saw the Mexican Gulf oil spill a few years back
I recommend you spend 30 minutes or so watching some of the others. A lot of it is Australia-centric, but the politics & machinations are universal... Miss you already Mr Clarke. Loved your work
And now... a photo to play with your brain a little. Just wiggle your screen up & down a bit. No... with your mouse!!!!

Goodbye Chuck Berry
Thanks for all the chords, licks & lead breaks I learned from your records...
On a related note, we finally watched the recent Grammy Awards show last night & I was shocked, saddened & dismayed to find out that 2016 was even worse than I thought. We lost a few more I didn't know about...
Lonnie Mack... Wild rock, blues, R&B guitarist from Texas. Big influence on Stevie Ray Vaughan
Buckwheat Zydeco... Cajun/Zydeco accordionist. Made it okay to listen to accordion players again (some of us never stopped!)
Scotty Moore... Guitarist for Elvis Presley in the pre-army 50s... you know - the good stuff
Mose Allison... Jazz pianist. Composer of 'Young Man Blues' which The Who radically reinvented in the early 70s
Toots Thielemans... Harmonica player... another under-rated instrument & player
Bernie Worrell... Keyboard player for Parliament/Funkadelic & provider of waaay out there synthesizer sounds for Talking Heads in the early 80s
Damn...now I'm upset all over again!

Another Crimson King Is Dead
Feb. 1st, 2017 05:00 pmVale, John Wetton
Vocalist for King Crimson, Asia, Wishbone Ash, Uriah Heep, Family... bass-player extraordinaire for those bands, as well as, notably, Bryan Ferry & Roxy Music
Seen here, with a wonderful perm, in the company of Bryan Ferry, Mel Collins, Chris Spedding & Paul Thompson. It's rumoured, but unconfirmed, that John Chris & Paul played all the music on the Sex Pistols album 'Never Mind The Bollocks'...
But he'll always be a King Crimson man to me...
