Utterly charming - from an age before cynicism became the norm - pioneers of multi-culturalism - the backdrop for the video reminds me of the end scene in 'Get Carter.' Get the guy's ghetto blaster - they hadn't invented IPods at that point. From a similar epoch - I'll see you - and raise you - granted - maybe not top hole on the misogyny front - pun intended - but fun - none the less. If you haven't heard their instrumental album - 'The In Sound from Way Out,' check it out - I love playing it to people, and then asking, what is this? People that might ordinarily have rejected the Beastie Boys out of hand. 'Hello Nasty,' on the other hand - is one of the worst albums ever recorded. Anyway - let's party! - I.How could we ever mention DMC without the track which brought them to the attention of half the world. Looking back the video is a bit cheesy, but hey I guess it is a great carrier for one absolute classic song. So more from those 'inability to tie shoe lace Boys Run DMC' and 'It's like that'
Me too - I'm just too white, if not, pale blue - I'm Scottish- it does not resonate mostly - when it is good - it is playful - all that scratching is making me itch - I can't be bothered with the nastiness and violence implicit in a lot of it. You mentioned Pink - I think? Her cover of 'White Rabbit' is astonishing - my partner put me onto this - she - my partner, that is - freely admits to having a major girl crush on her - beforehand - the idea that anybody could do this track further justice - might have seemed alien to me. I'm a major Jefferson Airplane fan - did I waste all those hours twisted out my head on hallucinogenics? No - this is very good - filmed - I think in Barcelona. Not sure. Her band rocks - @NatJag - I'll bet that you aren't as miffy as the bass player.To be honest I can't say rap, hip-hop and similar genres are a style of music

Get a load of this -I kind of got in to Pink via a rather strange route but rather glad I did. At first I thought 'Oh my, not another warbling screaming female singer'. Which of course she is anything but.
Having a tub thumping pro-drummer of a son sees me dragged to obscure drum clinics and odd little venues to see some drummer or other.
'Mark bloody Schulman who?'
'The drummer for Pink you ignorant old sod of a dad'.
'Oh, I thought that was Nick Mason'.
'You dick'
So off I went to see yet another bloody tub thumper.
My oh my. This bloke is effing good. A bit 'aren't I a God' at first but this soon disappeared. respect given. The guy was a human metronome. Anyone who can play a 15 second beat right down to the precise second is amazingly brilliant. Add to that he simply knew how to bash drums and an absolutely entertaining evening. Plus he was very approachable and very happy to chat away merrily. He did mention a few words about Pink herself, about her band and in particular the guitarist and I thought it was about time to try a new avenue. So I did, and I have never looked back since.
She is very unique, very much human, very much for her fans and an absolute pro from one end to the other. What a great artist as you have found out
Get a load of this -
Manu Chao - potentially the best gig I have ever seen - they played Glasgow - no shit - we were standing in line - as you do - to get in - my partner noticed the band huddled outdoors smoking - and offered them a Fortuna - she smokes Spanish cigarettes - man - we got upgraded - and she was lavishly kissed. Front row - no shit - we were there with another couple - both close friends - he and I ate an Anzac biscuit - ordinarily a fairly normal type of thing - but - the biscuit maker - who is from Brisbane - had heavily laced them with hashish - totally awesome pollen - if you would care to admit to knowing about these things. Fuck - an hour in - I have never danced like that - before or since - awesome - potentially - the Grateful Dead were better - but other than a ticket stub - I have no clear memory of that gig. Well you know? - you go see the Dead - you need to be in the room - and indeed out of it - so - this clip of Manu Chao - is from the same tour we saw them on - same band - totally awesome - I don't dance well - people on fire move better than me - but - see previous reference to the Anzac biscuits. Incidentally if your Spanish isn't that good - clandestino - is slang for refugee. Enjoy - I.
Edit - if you are ever in Madrid - his dad runs an entirely brilliant bar in the Lavapies barrio - not for the faint-hearted. It's pretty hard core. Some knowledge of Spanish - might be useful. Otherwise - you are not going to get served.
You're so pretty - oh - so pretty - oh so pretty va-vay-cnut. A very peculiar pronunciation in English.Satanfriendly said:
Thanks Tony. What great days they were. If only people realised how influencial the Pistols were to be on the back of their notoriety they might never have given them the press they gained.
