While I was checking out when Steve was arrested (1999 - how the time flieth), news of an authorized Kilbey bio turns up. Who knew? This review in Pop Matters is interesting, because it compares Morrissey with Steve Kilbey. Well, it's certainly more apt than the Taylor Swift comparison...
Do share some details about that if you would! Were they "aloof and mysterious," to quote Marty?
I've never seen Kilbey act like he does during that acceptance speech; he always seemed such a dour character with the press, and quite reserved onstage. I assume he's off the H now, maybe that...
I came across this wonderful and wacky clip of The Church receiving a Hall of Fame award at an Australian music show last week. Steve Kilbey is looking healthy and takes us through a very energetic and funny 15-minute history of Aussie rock 'n roll, complete with imitations...
Was Ride a big success in Britannia? I just remember them as sweet young things some 20 years ago. They were the first band I ever heard described as shoegazer. Their song "Leave Them All Behind" was quite popular on MTV/alt rock radio but that was pretty much it for them, Stateside.
Barry Gibb, sorry to say the voice is gone. His style of singing was probably very demanding on the voice.
Robert Plant is streaky - sometimes you hear him and the voice is completely shot.
People with surprisingly ageless voices: Roger Daltry, Ann Wilson, Sting, Chrissie Hynde.
I...
How do English people, Mancunians to be specific, pronounce Salford? Do you twang the a, or is it more like "Sollford". Thanks. This question came up while I was watching an episode of Life On Mars.
Imelda Marcos?! Not exactly a cutting-edge target, unless the time-space continuum has slipped back to 1990 and no one has alerted me...
Anyhoo, I shall give it a listen since you nice people say it's good.
A big, wet kiss to Johnny Depp for agreeing to narrate the film - it was not able to get a distributor before his involvement, even though reviews from film festivals were pretty much unanimous that the documentary was excellent and probably the most real and human look at Jim Morrison. Maybe...
"Oh and he still claims, despite concrete evidence otherwise, that he and Meg are brother and sister. I mean…come on. We have seen your marriage license."
He knows that we know. I've always taken him to mean they're spiritual siblings.
I dunno about that reviewer, seems highly...
Damn, I'm glad you said that. Usually I find out The Church are on tour after they've gone home. This time I'm prepared!
Like with the Bunnies though, gotta travel far to see them.
Holy smokes, you'd pay almost $7,000 for a vintage SG?! I'd rather have a new one :) I always buy new guitars, because (a) I'm not wealthy and (2) a used guitar has someone else's mojo on it, baby! Unless it belonged to Jimmy Page or Jeff Beck, I'm not interested. Nancy Wilson has a gorgeous...
As Mozza himself once said, "Not everyone is intelligent." No need to psychoanalyze or go deep to figure out why Rollins says what he says. He quotes David Lee Roth and looks to members of Black Sabbath for international understanding: the guy's a mental lightweight, not to mention untalented...
Re: Johnny Marr has new web site
Dang, he's got a lot of rare and beautiful guitars. He could retire on the proceeds from selling the '59 Les Paul alone!:guitar:
My favorite is still the black Jag customized with autumn leaves stickers from Walmart
Ian McCulloch has a real gift for covering Leonard Cohen songs that best the originals (not an easy feat by any means). I present this evidence, "Lover Lover Lover": http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ujx7YB4-G8A&feature=related
He gets the lyrics a little muddled but it's still brilliant, "Hey...
