Awful. Jerry Lee means quite lot to me. Never mind Elvis, the three kings of rock 'n roll are Chuck berry, Jerry Lee and Gene Vincent.
Here’s Jerry Lee driving 'em crazy on Granada TV (I think) back in 1964. Talk about being in touch with your audience.
Not even seen if I had my way!
Two songs by The Fall which showcase the enigma that was Mark E. Smith. The first from 1981 , Lie Dream of a Casino Soul , ostensibly a rant about the Northern Soul scene , but more likely an examination of amphetamine psychosis , along with the immortal line ; 'Got no nerves left Monday morning and I think I’ll cut my dick off.)
The second , only six years later , a cover version of the Northern Soul (Tamla Motown) classic , There’s A Ghost In My House.
Go figure.
I recently listened to National Express after some years, and played it for my son as we drove along in the car. I had no idea about the deeper meaning, per video, and electro convulsive therapy at the end. Wowsers.
it’s too bad he was a pedophile.
Two tracks from Merseyside’s finest , The Coral . At the height of their powers now after more than twenty years , and with a cracking new album out , Sea Of Mirrors , following on from their last , and previously best , Coral Island.
The first song is one of the standout tracks from the new album with a spoken prose verse at the end courtesy of Oppenheimer star Cillian Murphy. The second is one of their earliest releases cleverly put to scenes from The Wicker Man.
Just back home after seeing the Sisters Of Mercy at the Roundhouse.
Subtle hints given that they won’t be touring for much longer; if anyone (apart from @Nikola ) is interested, catch them while you can.
Anyone familiar with watching the series ‘Goldrush’… will recognise this guy - 16m views.!
They came to Serbia twice (to my knowledge) - but guess who found himself roughly 600 kilometres from the venue both times… You people from big countries don’t know how lucky you are!
Tonights gig is Boogie Belgique
Good voice, tragic end. His son was even more talented and just as tragic an end.
Great programme about a great song
Saw him in Glastonbury one sunny afternoon in the nineties. Cool as fuck that guy.
