I came across it over a year ago whilst wasting time downloading a few tracks from the net and I was instantly taken by it's simplicity and also it's lyrics which had to be some of the most bizarre I had heard this side of G.G Allin.<br /><br />'Stevie Wonder's penis is erect because he's blind' was a ludicrous line invented out of sheer boredom when John Trubee worked as a cashier in a convenience store in Princeton, New Jersey, in 1975. He'd scribble some poems and weird phrases on a legal pad and then sometime in the spring of 1976, he bought one of those sleazy tabloids you find in supermarkets by the check-out stand, keeping up to date on any UFO sightings and mass hatchet murders.<br />In the back pages of the magazine he scanned the little ads and saw: <em>Co write on a 50-50 basis, earn $20,000 royalties, send your song poems to ..." some outfit in Nashville, Tennessee</em>. Apparently he thought to himself, wouldn't it be fun to send those people the most ridiculous, stupid, vile, obscene, lyrics to see their response ? so he wrote the song 'Blind Man's Penis'.<br /><br />Several weeks later he received a letter from the Nashville Co-Writers stating '<em>We have just received your lyrics and think they are very worthy of being recorded with the full Nashville Sound Production. ... I am enclosing a contract of acceptance. Please sign and return along with $79.95 to cover the cost for each song to be completed' ...<br /></em><br />He signed the contract of acceptance and returned it with a check. Several weeks later he received a 7-inch record that had a label and grooves only on one side. Typed on the white label was the title 'Peace & Love'. The recording was as he has later stated the lamest, most minimal country track with a hack country singer singing the lyrics he wrote. One line was changed, they made no mention of Stevie Wonder and had the singer croon repeatedly 'A blind man' instead. Also enclosed with the disc (actually an acetate) was a photograph of Ramsey Kearney, the guy singing. He wore a butterfly-print polyester shirt, Ramsey looked like the perfect man to sing these demented lyrics.<br /><div align="center"><br />Enigma Records eventually released John's version adding it to their catalogue and christening it with the new moniker 'A Blind Man's Penis,' and here it is.....enjoy !<br /><br /><iframe src="https://www.hipcast.com/playweb?audioid=Pbe5fabb7c33cb041f095b6076eee5beaYF56R1REY2p8&buffer=5&shape=6&amp;amp;fc=CC3333&pc=CCFF33&kc=FFCC33&bc=FFFFFF&brand=1&player=bp01" frameborder="0" width="20" scrolling="no" height="20"></iframe><br /><a href="http://www.hipcast.com/export/Pbe5fabb7c33cb041f095b6076eee5beaYF56R1REY2p8.mp3" rel="enclosure"><s>John Trubee & The Ugly Janitors Of America - Blind Man's Penis</s></a><br /><br /></div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiS6RoMIpRwH1bYBRvsKHi0SH8SuBtK93G7CqTs8-OziB1ewx5PmAByu6SK3pqLFhPamxApTn8p6S7STObSWrEnXN_5B1a2CetdJXtTOM9SFKpeckjPf0ONfoPWxdF1P29bxOj5Nw/s1600-h/trubee_commun.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5039563870082286450" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiS6RoMIpRwH1bYBRvsKHi0SH8SuBtK93G7CqTs8-OziB1ewx5PmAByu6SK3pqLFhPamxApTn8p6S7STObSWrEnXN_5B1a2CetdJXtTOM9SFKpeckjPf0ONfoPWxdF1P29bxOj5Nw/s400/trubee_commun.jpg" border="0" /> <p align="center"></a></p><br /><br /><span style="font-size:85%;color:#ff0000;">My mind was beautiful, and I was free<br />I Got High Last Night on L.S.D<br />My mind was beautiful, and I was free<br />Warts loved my nipples because they are pink<br />Vomit on me, baby<br />Yeah, yeah, yeah<br />A blind man's penis is erect because he is blind<br />It's erect because he's blind<br />It's erect because he's blind<br />Let's make love under the stars<br />Watch for UFOs<br />If little baby Martians come out of the UFOs<br />We f**k them yeah yeah yeah<br />And the gelatin oozed electric marbles zebra spilled its plastinia on bemis<br />Mother's titties died in Hell<br />And the Nazis want to kill, kill everyone<br />A blind man's penis is erect because he is blind<br />A blind man's penis is erect because he is blind<br />It's erect because he's blind<br /></span><br /><span style="font-size:78%;">ALL RECORDINGS ARE FOR YOUR AUDIO PLEASURE<strong> ONLY</strong> BUT IF YOUR ARE OFFENDED BY THE PUBLISHING OF THIS MATERIAL OR WANT TO REQUEST THE AUDIO SEGMENT REMOVED THEN PLEASE LEAVE A COMMENT ON THE RELEVANT POST AND I WILL REMOVE IT. </span>The Man That Time Forgothttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13436992291191548621noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22637356.post-37575698102460301772007-03-02T18:11:00.001+02:002007-05-06T14:55:22.461+02:00Country Hix's<div align="center"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhr_sLh-0UzjSwhy-Nocslz6qYvQKo5luDzjrjFNl_R2JHCqES4VQWHV7kq8NHQfbNnbFcKIDj-77ufHojiVzXjV0GyqrLL2MEZb9ew94vAvfSaLiLhjcmwjyEzvU6VD01bE5HOSQ/s1600-h/B0006Q4DJ2_01-A1PRR6JJQLIL6U__AA240_SCLZZZZZZZ_.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5037361389919800978" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhr_sLh-0UzjSwhy-Nocslz6qYvQKo5luDzjrjFNl_R2JHCqES4VQWHV7kq8NHQfbNnbFcKIDj-77ufHojiVzXjV0GyqrLL2MEZb9ew94vAvfSaLiLhjcmwjyEzvU6VD01bE5HOSQ/s400/B0006Q4DJ2_01-A1PRR6JJQLIL6U__AA240_SCLZZZZZZZ_.jpg" border="0" /></a><br />T.Tex Edwards is a native Texan and as his name suggests he has evolved from being a Punk Rocker with his band The Nervebreakers in the late '70s to a rabid Rockabilly rebel with The Loafin’ Hyenas in the late '80s.For his first solo LP, however, Tex decided to try his hand at Psycho- Country, covering the songs of previous masters of the genre together with the brilliant Out On Parole as his backing band. He joyfully sinks his teeth into 13 tales of murder and love gone bad. It is a record that brings together a selection of Country music's bleakest moments. T. Tex Edwards & Out on Parole was really a one-shot studio project helmed by Mike Buck of the LeRoi Brothers. Essentially, Pardon Me, I've Got Someone to Kill — the title is taken from an old Johnny Paycheck song, it is a novelty album but it is one that is done exceptionally well. All of the songs, from Leon Payne's 'Psycho' to Porter Wagoner's 'The Rubber Room,' are major lynchpins in the cult of 'psycho country' songs, and the performances are thoroughly entertaining. The album was originally released on Sympathy For The Record Industry Records (SFTRI43) sometime in 1989 but I think was later re-released by the French Record label New Rose. T.Tex also issued 'Lee Harvey Was A Friend Of Mine' as a single on SFTRI which was written by today's other featured artist below.<br /><br /><iframe src="https://www.hipcast.com/playweb?audioid=P8deee38e2125ce180f522705b657f145YF56R1REY2px&buffer=5&shape=6&amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;fc=CC3333&pc=CCFF33&kc=FFCC33&bc=FFFFFF&brand=1&player=bp01" frameborder="0" width="20" scrolling="no" height="20"></iframe><br /><a href="http://www.hipcast.com/export/P8deee38e2125ce180f522705b657f145YF56R1REY2px.mp3" rel="enclosure"><s>T.Tex Edwards & Out On Parole - Psycho</s></a><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg7Pg2pKxvy_Yr7yO6B0n3lcm1m3N7oLkQs3Nw3poxHEloDRRjs1KeCRh5N9XdHs8K6MbPcnMoHDoov-_RR6JM094PdLNGPA5rATVBXEO8_o40ZR56yHiySjT6EMeMQmXGvWChQ_g/s1600-h/SFTRI055.gif"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5037362150129012386" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg7Pg2pKxvy_Yr7yO6B0n3lcm1m3N7oLkQs3Nw3poxHEloDRRjs1KeCRh5N9XdHs8K6MbPcnMoHDoov-_RR6JM094PdLNGPA5rATVBXEO8_o40ZR56yHiySjT6EMeMQmXGvWChQ_g/s400/SFTRI055.gif" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><iframe src="https://www.hipcast.com/playweb?audioid=P9484bf412ebe34b3dff6785a85042182YF56R1REY2pw&buffer=5&shape=6&amp;fc=CC3333&pc=CCFF33&kc=FFCC33&bc=FFFFFF&brand=1&player=bp01" frameborder="0" width="20" scrolling="no" height="20"></iframe><br /><a href="http://www.hipcast.com/export/P9484bf412ebe34b3dff6785a85042182YF56R1REY2pw.mp3" rel="enclosure"><s>Homer Henderson - Lee Harvey Was A Friend Of Mine</s></a> </div><div align="center"><br />Homer Henderson is the self-proclaimed 'Amazing One-Man Band' he is the country version of Weird Al Yankovic, writing and singing funny songs on a number of politically incorrect subjects and he also writes anthems for all the losers, loners and little people in the world. In reality, this is only one side of his musical makeup, his output also encompasses hard Jimmy Reed-blues and electronica. Other songs written by Homer include 'Pickin' Up Beer Cans on the Highway,' 'I Want a Date With a Cowboy Cheerleader,' and 'Hillbilly Pecker'. He collaborated with the Rock writer Nick Tosches on the album ' Greatest Flops And Golden Filler'. Nick had previously written 'Hellfire' a great biography of Jerry Lee Lewis. The album itself is was probably great fun to record, with some solid music in between the laughs. </div><div align="center"><br /><span style="color:#ff0000;"><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">A<em>ccording to the Dallas Observer in 1998 his "Lee Harvey Was a Friend of Mine" may come to be remembered as the greatest song ever written, better even than Springsteen's 'Highway Patrolman.' </em></span></span></div><div align="center"></div><em></em><br /><br /><span style="font-size:78%;">ALL RECORDINGS ARE FOR YOUR AUDIO PLEASURE <strong>ONLY</strong> BUT IF YOUR ARE OFFENDED BY THE PUBLISHING OF THIS MATERIAL OR WANT TO REQUEST THE AUDIO SEGMENT REMOVED THEN PLEASE LEAVE A COMMENT ON THE RELEVANT POST AND I WILL REMOVE IT.</span>The Man That Time Forgothttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13436992291191548621noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22637356.post-17011590706759516502007-02-14T19:58:00.001+02:002007-05-06T14:55:55.933+02:00Five miles out of London on the Western Avenue<div align="center"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEji2KmCi0vp-atWAyPqNmm0x55EymNlii5Vo2E689ot7WZzenKI-qfOOZ-W-oFZNbeTMil1h078HIa3RpGQLCho78m-pa2ly5dviIvLMVH_6ujA03Rcge-_n2qJtEtsIaFiRhVmWw/s1600-h/d6366576096184ab0937340ec1ff0e0b11642129.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5031451328406725490" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEji2KmCi0vp-atWAyPqNmm0x55EymNlii5Vo2E689ot7WZzenKI-qfOOZ-W-oFZNbeTMil1h078HIa3RpGQLCho78m-pa2ly5dviIvLMVH_6ujA03Rcge-_n2qJtEtsIaFiRhVmWw/s400/d6366576096184ab0937340ec1ff0e0b11642129.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgNIKmPeMjSuO7IgeWEKzZvQkGrhIzEbTHTuQofc4HtfF0JC1cDeDMDbjjg6AtvPzkV8qnWCX6bNxdnuISaXYsUrHLMmpSdIyUNOqmmZQdnPs3IfRFaOt_SRePjN_TFf7qISrEVAg/s1600-h/ECLive78.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5031451225327510370" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgNIKmPeMjSuO7IgeWEKzZvQkGrhIzEbTHTuQofc4HtfF0JC1cDeDMDbjjg6AtvPzkV8qnWCX6bNxdnuISaXYsUrHLMmpSdIyUNOqmmZQdnPs3IfRFaOt_SRePjN_TFf7qISrEVAg/s320/ECLive78.jpg" border="0" /></a><br />I'm certain as you travel through the world of music blogs someone else will have posted this track before me, mainly I think because it is a hidden gem amongst Mr Costello's back catalogue. The track first surfaced on the F-Beat Records 1980 Costello B-side compilation 'Ten Bloody Mary's & Ten How's Your Fathers' since then it has appeared on many of his re-mastered CD's that you can find in your local record emporium or on the net. It is nostalgic for me because The Hoover Building on Western Avenue, Perivale West London is a fine example of Art Deco architecture designed by Wallis, Gilbert and Partners who were a British architectural partnership responsible for the design of many Art Deco buildings in the UK in the 1920s and 1930s. Unlike many such buildings in London it survived the war and demolition. Of course nothing remains as it once was and now it is used as a fucking Tesco's supermarket.</div><div align="center"> </div><div align="center"><iframe src="https://www.hipcast.com/playweb?audioid=P8ca74ecee3f27ffc05e023bc84b5044bYF56R1REY2ty&buffer=5&shape=6&amp;fc=CC3333&pc=CCFF33&kc=FFCC33&bc=FFFFFF&brand=1&player=bp01" frameborder="0" width="20" scrolling="no" height="20"></iframe><br /><a href="http://www.hipcast.com/export/P8ca74ecee3f27ffc05e023bc84b5044bYF56R1REY2ty.mp3" rel="enclosure"><s>Elvis Costello & The Attractions - Hoover Factory</s></a> </div><div align="center"><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiszPHehDFTKJmh6H_MKQ7JuBnfObWNjYfrS7O2UMJvqvrr9BQlGVTZb8QlIl7hWK12W1kHAgDtLZy8C9uzwR797fpe4ZufWWITHSb96WYsWwVtmvdCOTQsv2FEiMO0O0rMYjb-YA/s1600-h/ecostello2.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5031451044938883922" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiszPHehDFTKJmh6H_MKQ7JuBnfObWNjYfrS7O2UMJvqvrr9BQlGVTZb8QlIl7hWK12W1kHAgDtLZy8C9uzwR797fpe4ZufWWITHSb96WYsWwVtmvdCOTQsv2FEiMO0O0rMYjb-YA/s400/ecostello2.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><span style="font-size:85%;color:#ff0000;"><blockquote><span style="font-size:85%;color:#ff0000;">Green for go, green for action<br />From Park Royal to<br />North Acton<br />Past scrolls and inscriptions like those of the Egyptian age<br />And one of these days the Hoover factory<br />Is gonna be all the rage in<br />those fashionable pages </span></blockquote></span><br /><br /><span style="font-size:78%;">ALL RECORDINGS ARE FOR YOUR AUDIO PLEASURE<strong> ONLY</strong> BUT IF YOUR ARE OFFENDED BY THE PUBLISHING OF THIS MATERIAL OR WANT TO REQUEST THE AUDIO SEGMENT REMOVED THEN PLEASE LEAVE A COMMENT ON THE RELEVANT POST AND I WILL REMOVE IT.<br /></span></div>The Man That Time Forgothttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13436992291191548621noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22637356.post-30263140020221669152007-02-09T14:34:00.001+02:002007-05-06T14:56:23.387+02:00I Don't Mean To Be Mean<div align="center"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiN7UrOlCCQgeNBGn6jFMWF3XwS2f4Bza2hbrdP5pkDY1OV0ttX_6aW-RHfgPab8g-uygP5h8PPuN0Wai9Mc3YqS74-RAJRYEyhmOJA-lXHmI85CgUK5vwz4p-ahh9ceUEv7m8TBA/s1600-h/griffin.gif"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5029512532924670738" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiN7UrOlCCQgeNBGn6jFMWF3XwS2f4Bza2hbrdP5pkDY1OV0ttX_6aW-RHfgPab8g-uygP5h8PPuN0Wai9Mc3YqS74-RAJRYEyhmOJA-lXHmI85CgUK5vwz4p-ahh9ceUEv7m8TBA/s400/griffin.gif" border="0" /></a> <strong><em>Rex Griffin</em></strong><br /><br /><div align="center"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgCb80jOCbw7oVWz2sT5YR99Q5hVN656lAM3dlvLIvM-8fygsI_xKTHoLE1UHkmgX38eFBMi6neoALliA_YBKwjxS1C2KzT0C_AFxs-lcCpFa1RyfQcnuQnyq31k2LaPcTGnlRFsA/s1600-h/Dudleys%2520last%2520letter%2520to%2520Queen%2520Elizabeth%2520I.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5029512296701469442" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgCb80jOCbw7oVWz2sT5YR99Q5hVN656lAM3dlvLIvM-8fygsI_xKTHoLE1UHkmgX38eFBMi6neoALliA_YBKwjxS1C2KzT0C_AFxs-lcCpFa1RyfQcnuQnyq31k2LaPcTGnlRFsA/s320/Dudleys%2520last%2520letter%2520to%2520Queen%2520Elizabeth%2520I.jpg" border="0" /></a> <strong><em>A Last Letter<br /></em></strong><br />In a genre overflowing with sad songs, Rex Griffin's "The Last Letter" may be the saddest of them all. Written and recorded by Griffin in 1937, "The Last Letter" has been covered many times since. It remains country music's most disturbing suicide song, deeply affecting in its plaintive simplicity.<br />Rex Griffin was born August 12, 1912 in Gadsden, Alabama. Not much is known about Griffin's life, but accounts paint him as a lonely, troubled man beset by diabetes and alcoholism before dying of tuberculosis at the age of 47 in New Orleans.<br />Griffin began his singing career in the early 1930s, working at radio stations throughout the South. Like many performers of the time, he began his career imitating Jimmie Rodgers, but soon developed a sincere, unadorned style of his own that had a measurable influence on honky tonkers like Ernest Tubb and Hank Williams. His career peaked in the late 30s when he recorded a total of 38 songs for Decca Records. None of them were big hits, but his songwriting was admired enough to get him eventually inducted into the Nashville Songwriter's Hall Of Fame. After his recording career ended, Griffin continued working at radio stations into the 1940s before health problems ended his singing career.<br />Even though "The Last Letter" remains Griffin's best-known song, he also wrote other country classics, including "Just Call Me Lonesome," which was later a hit for Eddy Arnold, and "Won't You Ride In My Little Red Wagon," recorded by Griffin's friend Hank Penny, who made it his theme song. Griffin also recorded the first country version of "Lovesick Blues." While Hank Williams was familiar with minstrel yodeler Emmett Miller's earlier rendition of the song, Williams modeled his version after Griffin's.<br />The sparse instrumentation, simple melody and Griffin's plaintive, anguished vocals transform those desperate, forlorn lyrics into something uncomfortably real and immediate. Even now, nearly 60 years after Griffin recorded it, the heartfelt pain expressed in "The Last Letter" deeply resonates.<br />Like the rest of Griffin's recordings, "The Last Letter" wasn't a big hit, but other artists quickly recognized its worth. It was covered a little over a year after it was recorded by the Blue Sky Boys, whose close-harmony singing and mandolin-guitar interplay gave the song the feel of an old mountain ballad, and the Carter Family performed it on the powerful border radio station XERA, with Sara and A.P.'s daughter Janette on vocals.<br />Later in the 1960s, Willie Nelson and Connie Smith both recorded the song.</div><div align="center"> Thanks to Twangin' for the information on Rex.</div><div align="center"><a href="http://www.steamiron.com/twangin/">http://www.steamiron.com/twangin/</a></div><div align="center"><br /><iframe src="https://www.hipcast.com/playweb?audioid=P30b867098a0d7090f5d4821d2e60a974YF56R1REY2tw&buffer=5&shape=6&amp;fc=CC3333&pc=CCFF33&kc=FFCC33&bc=FFFFFF&brand=1&player=bp01" frameborder="0" width="20" scrolling="no" height="20"></iframe><br /><a href="http://www.hipcast.com/export/P30b867098a0d7090f5d4821d2e60a974YF56R1REY2tw.mp3" rel="enclosure"><s>Rex Griffin - The Last Letter</s></a><br /><br /></div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhFwLRXFJt19b7hCdMv7l8CihRIPpfzk0mo5-Tw07BrJKXO946Dmq8uV4x1hepPrBuXjBhgQjBUF3jgKcR8fg88mpY2vFbL_IaJT7K-5nykGR-AzJPBQVTTPHl-AVXkQz10k-attw/s1600-h/bcd15911.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5029512116312842994" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhFwLRXFJt19b7hCdMv7l8CihRIPpfzk0mo5-Tw07BrJKXO946Dmq8uV4x1hepPrBuXjBhgQjBUF3jgKcR8fg88mpY2vFbL_IaJT7K-5nykGR-AzJPBQVTTPHl-AVXkQz10k-attw/s400/bcd15911.jpg" border="0" /></a> </div><p align="center">This track can be found on the above CD - see link below for further information :-</p><p align="center"><a href="http://www.bear-family.de/tabel1/backor/internat/g/griffin_rex/griffinr.htm">http://www.bear-family.de/tabel1/backor/internat/g/griffin_rex/griffinr.htm</a></p><p align="center"><br /><span style="font-size:78%;">ALL RECORDINGS ARE FOR YOUR AUDIO PLEASURE <strong>ONLY</strong> BUT IF YOUR ARE OFFENDED BY THE PUBLISHING OF THIS MATERIAL OR WANT TO REQUEST THE AUDIO SEGMENT REMOVED THEN PLEASE LEAVE A COMMENT ON THE RELEVANT POST AND I WILL REMOVE IT.</span> </p>The Man That Time Forgothttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13436992291191548621noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22637356.post-29832689343836017882007-02-03T19:23:00.001+02:002007-02-03T19:49:21.636+02:00Millionaires And Teddy Bears<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjQWTT1BYMiXQHIEtoJDGXrbOK2L3F1M255UXnU36mq3ftD0JyURwxEia-ADl6Gm7uHZ-57jOrSpwxCDO1gNBvcSZzaAEjr3BnpJZ-8L_-IZJNu-SewhXs3ENb4vdRM7TBZteivrg/s1600-h/big_k_coyne.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5027360717316655890" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjQWTT1BYMiXQHIEtoJDGXrbOK2L3F1M255UXnU36mq3ftD0JyURwxEia-ADl6Gm7uHZ-57jOrSpwxCDO1gNBvcSZzaAEjr3BnpJZ-8L_-IZJNu-SewhXs3ENb4vdRM7TBZteivrg/s400/big_k_coyne.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiCykVIEOvzDzLdMFYoCnWIup1DiLm6MAjiSRRRYOWKZURtL3Q4Nmbg8DHzUigQ02DA9VtA7RB3dFKZx_SDDR585F9vz0jpB2cOCmZuui7p_4EOFAhtQx_TEpmp_KErZDsIasLpvQ/s1600-h/Kevin-Coyne.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5027360528338094850" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiCykVIEOvzDzLdMFYoCnWIup1DiLm6MAjiSRRRYOWKZURtL3Q4Nmbg8DHzUigQ02DA9VtA7RB3dFKZx_SDDR585F9vz0jpB2cOCmZuui7p_4EOFAhtQx_TEpmp_KErZDsIasLpvQ/s400/Kevin-Coyne.jpg" border="0" /></a><br />If you hadn't heard of Kevin <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0" onclick="BLOG_clickHandler(this)">Coyne</span> before you read these notes then shame on you but on the <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">other hand</span> if you have come across him before then I bet you will admit, just like I do that he was never a real easy listen and he had the knack of putting you on edge whilst listening to his music and often making you feel damn uncomfortable at times.

Orginally called Stackridge Lemon (the Lemon was soon dropped !) their classic line up released three LP's from 1971 until 1973, Stackridge, Friendliness and The Man In The Bowler Hat which is where today's post can be found. The music was often a mixture of English Music Hall, Folk, Pop and Jazz mixed together with a West Country feel. They are famous for playing at the first ever Glastonbury Festival in 1970 and this writer cannot forget their first appearence on the Old Grey Whistle Test in 1973 when they performed this song.<br /><br /><br /><iframe src="https://www.hipcast.com/playweb?audioid=P4b585cf500ca70da12607565730fce6bYF56R1REY2R9&buffer=5&shape=6&amp;fc=CC3333&pc=CCFF33&kc=FFCC33&bc=FFFFFF&brand=1&player=bp01" frameborder="0" width="20" scrolling="no" height="20"></iframe><br /><a href="http://www.hipcast.com/export/P4b585cf500ca70da12607565730fce6bYF56R1REY2R9.mp3" rel="enclosure"><s>Stackridge - Do The Stanley</s></a> </div><div align="center"><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhFmFJSVK9ihW9zOhYdTIFad-rJBoQNVrkHScxRrTt-32vKZk9QbNTFInVhoK44h33OyWXoQhbiTii3gy21TBSDhX-aJnWKCJX7effiZHMR3vteYo82SPU46taRVI6rGIDn7KC22w/s1600-h/P_stackridge.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5025127146740495410" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhFmFJSVK9ihW9zOhYdTIFad-rJBoQNVrkHScxRrTt-32vKZk9QbNTFInVhoK44h33OyWXoQhbiTii3gy21TBSDhX-aJnWKCJX7effiZHMR3vteYo82SPU46taRVI6rGIDn7KC22w/s400/P_stackridge.jpg" border="0" /></a></div><br /><span style="font-size:78%;">ALL RECORDINGS ARE FOR YOUR AUDIO PLEASURE ONLY BUT IF YOUR ARE OFFENDED BY THE PUBLISHING OF THIS MATERIAL OR WANT TO REQUEST THE AUDIO SEGMENT REMOVED THEN PLEASE LEAVE A COMMENT ON THE RELEVANT POST AND I WILL REMOVE IT.</span>The Man That Time Forgothttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13436992291191548621noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22637356.post-6750164527339653252007-01-24T21:32:00.001+02:002007-05-06T14:59:05.135+02:00Who Pumped The Wind In My Doughnut<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhGSGsAWGddBO_EGoQxSs-QwEejSk5uOiuBKOZc4zbEWKzx89wb5ZHF6-uLjefiEmkgZ6b4vSkmgIleI52OCCiCL3CM7CaFcQqlJfQH-zOcosvHun986ihfyGdJ9BSgW_MUQaqGIA/s1600-h/halfmoon.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5023716426077418434" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhGSGsAWGddBO_EGoQxSs-QwEejSk5uOiuBKOZc4zbEWKzx89wb5ZHF6-uLjefiEmkgZ6b4vSkmgIleI52OCCiCL3CM7CaFcQqlJfQH-zOcosvHun986ihfyGdJ9BSgW_MUQaqGIA/s400/halfmoon.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><div align="center">It's so nice to be back and re-open the archives once again, after my extended enforced absence which left the R&RD rather fed up and frustrated with the worldwide web.

The film I watched was Shane Meadows 2004 film 'Dead Man's Shoes'. Now as this is a music not a film blog it gave me the chance to post the opening track to the movie which I thought was stunning. I was watching the beginning of the film and I was also trying to identify the song and it's singer. I had to wait for the end credits but it did confirm my initial thoughts that it was Bill Callahan (better known as Smog).<br /><div align="center">This track comes from his 2003 release 'Supper'. I most admit I do like Bill's work but find that there are a maximum of only one or two tracks per album that really ever standout for me and re-listening to 'Supper ' after watching the film I'm convinced that 'Vessel In Vain' is the best track by a mile and makes 'Dead Man's Shoes' that extra bit special.<br /><br /><br /><br /><a href="http://www.hipcast.com/export/Pac364f3115b972cda0ed4cbfb7e14678YF56R1REY2V8.mp3" rel="enclosure"><s>Smog - Vessel In Vain</s></a> </div><div align="center"><br /></div><a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/x/blogger/1251/2306/1600/146933/dstill3.jpg"><img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/x/blogger/1251/2306/400/246599/dstill3.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/x/blogger/1251/2306/1600/178185/dc235mini.jpg"><img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/x/blogger/1251/2306/320/327223/dc235mini.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><span style="font-size:78%;">ALL RECORDINGS ARE FOR YOUR AUDIO PLEASURE<strong> ONLY</strong> BUT IF YOUR ARE OFFENDED BY THE PUBLISHING OF THIS MATERIAL OR WANT TO REQUEST THE AUDIO SEGMENT REMOVED THEN PLEASE LEAVE A COMMENT ON THE RELEVANT POST AND I WILL REMOVE IT. </span>The Man That Time Forgothttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13436992291191548621noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22637356.post-1167661101375962032007-01-01T16:18:00.000+02:002007-03-08T16:30:39.111+02:00I want everybody in the whole stadium to stand up and sing with us<div align="center">Yes, I am the victim of a Basketball Jones<br />Ever since I was a little baby, I always be dribblin'<br />In fac', I was de baddest dribbler in the whole neighborhood<br />Then one day, my mama bought me a basketball<br />And I loved that basketball<br />I took that basketball with me everywhere I went<br />That basketball was like a basketball to me<br /><br /></div><a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/x/blogger/1251/2306/1600/128845/737180_356x237.jpg"><img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/x/blogger/1251/2306/400/334237/737180_356x237.jpg" border="0" /> <p align="center"></a><br />Well it's the first day of another year and the second year that the Novelty Rock Emporium has been open for business.The NRE will continue to offer offbeat, unknown and sometimes forgotten eclectic tracks for you to be amazed by, often confounded and maybe also knocked sideways on occasions.<br />'Basketball Jones' was a song I always remembered and loved after seeing their cartoon video of the song on the BBC's Old Grey Whistle Test in the early 1970's (see the <span style="color:#ff0000;">You Tube</span> link below). Cheech Marin and Tommy Chong were a comedy duo who found a wide audience at that time for their comedy stand-up routines, which were based upon the era's hippie and drug culture movements. Cheech played a cholo from Los Angeles, while Chong was a burned-out 'druggie' whose entire life revolved around getting high.<br />The duo released a number of successful comedy albums and the classic film 'Up In Smoke' in 1978. Perhaps their all-time most famous line is "Dave's not here, man" (from their self-titled debut album).The duo separated in the 1980s due to creative differences.<br /><br /><br /><br /><a href="http://www.hipcast.com/export/P772b435071ad1c9af9be6522758f3c74YF56R1REY2Vy.mp3" rel="enclosure"><s>Cheech And Chong - Basketball Jones</s></a><br /><a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/x/blogger/1251/2306/1600/331948/017973MODEc.jpg"><img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/x/blogger/1251/2306/400/344716/017973MODEc.jpg" border="0" /></a><br />YOU TUBE LINK FOR VIDEO<br /><span style="color:#ff0000;">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KReGXDH20D8</span><br /><br /><span style="font-size:78%;">ALL RECORDINGS ARE FOR YOUR AUDIO PLEASURE<strong> ONLY</strong> BUT IF YOUR ARE OFFENDED BY THE PUBLISHING OF THIS MATERIAL OR WANT TO REQUEST THE AUDIO SEGMENT REMOVED THEN PLEASE LEAVE A COMMENT ON THE RELEVANT POST AND I WILL REMOVE IT</span></p>The Man That Time Forgothttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13436992291191548621noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22637356.post-1165436521393907152006-12-06T22:22:00.000+02:002007-01-05T17:10:14.266+02:00The Barflys And Slack Granny Live !<a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/x/blogger/1251/2306/1600/667405/YoungKnivesHotSummer.jpg"><img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/x/blogger/1251/2306/320/57437/YoungKnivesHotSummer.jpg" border="0" /></a> At this time of the year everywhere you look there's a list. It's Christmas so everyone makes a wish list or an 'I want this list' (that's me actually). Just look inside any popular monthly music magazine, you will find categories. Album of the year, Re-Issue of the year, the best box set, number one artist (generally Bob Dylan) etc etc.<br /><em><span style="color:#3366ff;">Was I the only one slightly disappointed in 'Modern Times' and thought the reviews were a little over the top - ( re-cycled old blues riffs and no credit given to the original sources, well maybe.....ok I definitely was).</span></em><br /><div align="center">Anyway I digress, my single of the year comes from The Young Knives five track EP ' Weekends And Bleak Days (Hot Summer).

It comes from their 1987 LP 'The Men Who Loved Music' on Frontier Records. The YFF were certainly not grunge more rakish punk with a humourous edge - think England's 'Half Man Half Biscuit' and you are somewhere close. The group's first LP 'The Fabulous Sounds of The Pacific Northwest' is a great place to start.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.hipcast.com/export/Paffc83c06e952af36926f029faa0bfb3YF56R1REY2Zx.mp3" rel="enclosure"><s>Young Fresh Fellows - Hank, Karen And Elvis</s></a><br /><br /><a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/x/blogger/1251/2306/1600/323349/coverscans_cds_m_e389111.jpg"><img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/x/blogger/1251/2306/400/889807/coverscans_cds_m_e389111.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><span style="font-size:85%;">ALL RECORDINGS ARE FOR YOUR AUDIO PLEASURE <strong>ONLY</strong> BUT IF YOUR ARE OFFENDED BY THE PUBLISHING OF THIS MATERIAL OR WANT TO REQUEST THE AUDIO SEGMENT REMOVED THEN PLEASE LEAVE A COMMENT ON THE RELEVANT POST AND I WILL REMOVE IT.</span></div>The Man That Time Forgothttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13436992291191548621noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22637356.post-1164653094569651952006-11-27T20:44:00.000+02:002007-01-05T17:07:10.726+02:00The Lanes, You Must Visit The Lanes !<div align="center"><a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/x/blogger/1251/2306/1600/269683/freakbeat.gif"><img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/x/blogger/1251/2306/400/269246/freakbeat.gif" border="0" /></a><br /><a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/x/blogger/1251/2306/1600/570294/a545.jpg"><img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/x/blogger/1251/2306/320/326921/a545.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><a href="http://www.hipcast.com/export/Pa2352c9a47dc378e6f1be9bbea0d6d52YF56R1REY2Z0.mp3" rel="enclosure"><s>Bo And Peep - Rise Of The Brighton Surf</s></a><br /><a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/x/blogger/1251/2306/1600/208133/BrightonSurf2-jpg-indexicon.jpg"><img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/x/blogger/1251/2306/200/436875/BrightonSurf2-jpg-indexicon.jpg" border="0" /></a><strong><span style="font-size:78%;"></span></strong></div><div align="center">I can't decide whether I like this song or not, you can find it on the compilation 'English Freakbeat Vol 6' on AIP records.The truth is that Bo & Peep were a one-shot offshoot of the Rolling Stone's Manager Andrew Loog Oldham serious efforts at establishing a Phil Spector-type music factory.

I'm sure it was on 'The Old Grey Whistle Test' but my memory is unclear on this point but this track impressed me enough to go out and purchase the LP. The band were from Melbourne, Australia and their 1979 LP with the same title as this track came out on Mushroom Records but was distributed in Europe by Stiff Records. The Sports were reasonably popular for awhile in New Wave circles but they broke up in 1981. Thinking about this era today I was also a big fan of another Aussie band, Cold Chisel at that time but have none of their albums tucked away in the NRE. I am indebted to 'The Twilight Zone' for recently posting The Sports LP and reminding me how much I enjoyed their music in the early 80's. I have also left a You Tube link - go watch and enjoy !<br /><br /><br /><a href="http://www.hipcast.com/export/Pf691231999aac17c6adcb04767e82cf8YF56R1REY2dy.mp3" rel="enclosure"><s>The Sports - Don't Throw Stones</s></a> </div><p align="center"><br /><strong><span style="color:#cc0000;"><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SueMADFjnF4">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SueMADFjnF4</a></span></strong> </p><p align="center"><br /><span style="font-size:78%;">ALL RECORDINGS ARE FOR YOUR AUDIO PLEASURE <strong>ONLY</strong> BUT IF YOUR ARE OFFENDED BY THE PUBLISHING OF THIS MATERIAL OR WANT TO REQUEST THE AUDIO SEGMENT REMOVED THEN PLEASE LEAVE A COMMENT ON THE RELEVANT POST AND I WILL REMOVE IT.</span> </p>The Man That Time Forgothttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13436992291191548621noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22637356.post-1163267437221451312006-11-11T19:50:00.000+02:002007-01-05T16:21:46.870+02:00Remember The Rubber Bishops<a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/1251/2306/1600/Chris%20De%20Burgh.jpg"><img style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/1251/2306/400/Chris%20De%20Burgh.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/1251/2306/1600/Bill_bailey.jpg"><img style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/1251/2306/400/Bill_bailey.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><span style="font-size:85%;"><span style="color:#ff0000;"><em>Beautiful ladies in danger, danger all round the world,<br />I will protect them, because I am Chris de Burgh<br />Beautiful ladies in emergency situations<br />Beautiful ladies are lovely, but sometimes they don't take care,<br />They're too busy with their makeup, or combing their lovely hair<br />To take basic safety precautions<br /><br />But I will protect them, I will save the pretty ones,<br />With their smiles and their sparkling eyes<br />But let the ugly ones die<br />I have no place for them, in my new world order<br />I won't waste my seed on hideous trolls.<br />Kill, kill, kill, kill, kill the trolls,<br />Hunt them down there shall be no clemency<br />Kill, kill, kill, kill, kill the trolls,<br />Look under the bridges - that's where they hide<br />(that's where they hide)<br />And beauty shall be my bride.</em><br /></span></span><br /><br /><br />Ah !

He has appeared in the TV series 'Never Mind The Buzzcocks' & 'Black Books' and he premiered his wonderfully funny show 'Part Troll' at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival in 2003.<br /><em>Bill Bailey Fact No. 2 - He starred in a double act called 'The Rubber Bishops' with Mark Stubbs.</em><br /><em>Enjoy !<br /></em><br /><br /><a href="http://www.hipcast.com/export/Pcd99005f8f95b5e5dac9d7f114206540YF56R1REY2d0.mp3" rel="enclosure"><s>Bill Bailey - Beautiful Ladies</s></a><br /><br /><a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/1251/2306/1600/images.9.jpg"><img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: left" alt="" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/1251/2306/400/images.7.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><span style="font-size:85%;">ALL RECORDINGS ARE FOR YOUR AUDIO PLEASURE <strong>ONLY</strong> BUT IF YOUR ARE OFFENDED BY THE PUBLISHING OF THIS MATERIAL OR WANT TO REQUEST THE AUDIO SEGMENT REMOVED THEN PLEASE LEAVE A COMMENT ON THE RELEVANT POST AND I WILL REMOVE IT.</span>The Man That Time Forgothttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13436992291191548621noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22637356.post-1162117840939139842006-10-29T12:30:00.000+02:002007-01-05T16:21:06.360+02:00The Last Chicken In The Shop<a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/1251/2306/1600/disneyland-coloringbook.1.jpg"><img style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/1251/2306/320/disneyland-coloringbook.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/1251/2306/1600/Disneyland%20Sign%20B&W-709602.1.jpg"><img style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/1251/2306/320/Disneyland%20Sign%20B%26W-709602.0.jpg" border="0" /></a><br />I have already previously posted a track from the ROIR cassette compilation Singles: The Great New York City Singles Scene and here is another. Come On are one of the most forgotten bands of the late-1970s New York punk and new wave scene, Come On recorded the self-released single "A Kitchen in the Clouds"/"Don't Walk on the Kitchen Floor,," and then came up with "Disneyland." With the half-hysterical vocals of lead singer Jamie Kaufman, Come On were probably more similar to the Talking Heads than they were to any other major New York band of the time.That similarity with the Talking Heads didn't make them famous, however. Come On weren't nearly as good, and certainly lacked any of the pop hooks that the Talking Heads boasted from the very beginning.<br /><br />David Byrne was a fan of the band and took David Bowie and Brian Eno to see them at CBGB's. There was a meeting with Eno in which the possibility of collaboration was mooted, although apparently nothing came of that. Jamie Kaufman has said that other admirers of the band included Thurston Moore of Sonic Youth, the singer Klaus Nomi, artist Jeff Koons and actor Willem Dafoe none of whom were nearly as famous in the late 1970s as they would become.Two of Come On's members did go on to work with Nomi.<br /><div align="center"><br /><br /><a href="http://www.hipcast.com/export/P273976e70268dd91ab8f09bf3fa6cef5YF56R1REY2Bw.mp3" rel="enclosure"><s>Come On - Disneyland</s></a> </div><br /><span style="font-size:85%;">ALL RECORDINGS ARE FOR YOUR AUDIO PLEASURE<strong> ONLY</strong> BUT IF YOUR ARE OFFENDED BY THE PUBLISHING OF THIS MATERIAL OR WANT TO REQUEST THE AUDIO SEGMENT REMOVED THEN PLEASE LEAVE A COMMENT ON THE RELEVANT POST AND I WILL REMOVE IT.</span>The Man That Time Forgothttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13436992291191548621noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22637356.post-1161353114240399022006-10-20T16:05:00.000+02:002007-01-05T16:20:04.246+02:00Forgive and Forget<div align="center"><a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/1251/2306/1600/marbles.jpg"><img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/1251/2306/400/marbles.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/1251/2306/1600/GreatSingles.jpg"><img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/1251/2306/400/GreatSingles.jpg" border="0" /></a><br />In 1992 ROIR Records issued a cassette - (remember them !) titled 'The Great New York Singles Scene . This was eventually re-released on CD and today we showcase one of it's featured bands. So for fans of Patti Smith, Television, Richard Hell, The Dictators, C.B.G.B's and Max's Kansas City - I give you Marbles. They consisted of four members including two brothers David & Howard Bowler and this single was a straight forward power-pop effort soon to be sent into the realms of obscurity but it has now been dusted off, placed on a turntable and digitally recorded for your appreciation.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.hipcast.com/export/P166d5c487c1777096d9eaf569d0e2c55YF56R1REY2B1.mp3" rel="enclosure"><s>Marbles - Red Light</s></a> </div><div align="center"><br /><a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/1251/2306/1600/0458marbles2.jpg"><img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/1251/2306/400/0458marbles2.jpg" border="0" /></a><br />ALL RECORDINGS ARE FOR YOUR AUDIO PLEASURE <strong>ONLY</strong> BUT IF YOUR ARE OFFENDED BY THE PUBLISHING OF THIS MATERIAL OR WANT TO REQUEST THE AUDIO SEGMENT REMOVED THEN PLEASE LEAVE A COMMENT ON THE RELEVANT POST AND I WILL REMOVE IT. </div>The Man That Time Forgothttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13436992291191548621noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22637356.post-1160581707678410832006-10-11T17:48:00.000+02:002007-01-05T16:19:05.106+02:00Talk To The Hand<a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/1251/2306/1600/image.0.jpg"><img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/1251/2306/320/image.jpg" border="0" /></a> Hello again, well I'm back feeling a bit wet and windy so to beat these Autumn blues here's some British Power Pop from The Jags. Formed in Scarborough in 1978 they signed to Island Records in July of that year and released a four-track EP.<br />On September 8, a single "Back of My Hand" entered the UK singles chart. It had a chart life of 10 weeks and peaked at No.17. "Back of My Hand" was included on their debut LP Evening Standard, which was released the following year. Their follow-up single "Woman's World" entered the UK chart on February 2, 1980 at No.75 before dropping out the next week. Their success was brief and they disbanded in 1982 leaving us with this pretty good track that never gets played on the radio.<br /><br /><a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/1251/2306/1600/JagsStandards1.jpg"><img style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/1251/2306/400/JagsStandards1.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><a href="http://www.hipcast.com/export/P089b3d4dc81db1789f02889385884e1bYF56R1REY2Fy.mp3" rel="enclosure"><s>The Jags - Back Of My Hand</s></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><span style="color:#ff0000;"><em><strong>"I'VE GOT YOUR NUMBER WRITTEN ON THE BACK OF MY HAND"<br /></strong></em></span><br /><span style="font-size:85%;">ALL RECORDINGS ARE FOR YOUR AUDIO PLEASURE <strong>ONLY</strong> BUT IF YOUR ARE OFFENDED BY THE PUBLISHING OF THIS MATERIAL OR WANT TO REQUEST THE AUDIO SEGMENT REMOVED THEN PLEASE LEAVE A COMMENT ON THE RELEVANT POST AND I WILL REMOVE IT</span>.The Man That Time Forgothttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13436992291191548621noreply@blogger.com0
