Upminster Kid/Rough Kids/Billy Bentley are the prototypes for so many bands that came after.laxman wrote: ↑21 May 2020, 4:07pmI might have said this before but the Upminster Kid is one of my favourite Ian Dury songs. I should have nominated it for track 8! That and Sweet Gene Vincent together would have been a good double A side single.101Walterton wrote: ↑21 May 2020, 3:57pmYep, Interesting listening to the changes in Ian’s vocals from this to Blockheads. Will be listening to Wotabunch today.

Just watched the Bonn '91 show, I was looking for you, mate! There's a few blokes in green, one who gets a few shots, but he's wearing a green t-shirt and has spectacles, looks to be a bout 17-20 maybe? If you have the DVD, watch it and post a screen-shot if you can. Such a warm, intimate show!Olaf wrote: ↑20 May 2020, 8:36amSee if you can spot me at the '91 show.

Just kidding, mate. I was at the gig, but I don't think I'm in the video. I only remember I wore that green sweater cause I had "borrowed" it from my dad.muppet hi fi wrote: ↑21 May 2020, 8:26pmJust watched the Bonn '91 show, I was looking for you, mate!

Neil Young & Crazy Horse - 'Psychedelic Pill' (2 CD; 2012)
Released just a few months after the bizzare beast 'Americana', Young Neil and the Horse pile it on. First track is over 27 minutes long. Standout song is the 16 minute "Ramada Inn" - with just the pertinent details of a crumbling marriage stated lyrically, albeit in olde Neil's usual hallucinatory fashion. Very moving track. And there's that mid-tempo drive of the Horse - really stoned and inept 13 year olds or crusty pissed off 70 year olds? They still generate one of the most distinctive grooves white men ever patented.

Neil was on a real hot streak with these albums, imho. I really like these releases from the early 2010s of his.muppet hi fi wrote: ↑22 May 2020, 9:17pmNeil Young & Crazy Horse - 'Psychedelic Pill' (2 CD; 2012)

Old folk songs played by old folks. Melodies fucked with, original lyrics employed (usually grim), the Horse grinding hypnotically like 14 year olds, that weird Canadian dude singing off key and playing guitar like his life depends on it. What's not to like? Real and true punk rock. Amen.

Written by Paul Clayton.

Re: What Are you Listening to Right Now?
I'd heard it years ago ( but after "Armagideon Time", so I was pretty surprised) , not sure who's version (not Dylan) so I knew Joe had copped that line. Was pleasantly surprised that Neil didn't fuck with the melody on this one, they play it pretty straight from what I remember.Silent Majority wrote: ↑23 May 2020, 9:01amHad no idea that "I've been around this old town too long" from the Clash's Armagideon Time came from a folk song.

Re: What Are you Listening to Right Now?
I first saw the line in a novel by Stephen King. I think it was "The Stand." It was used in a prelude to one of the chapters.muppet hi fi wrote: ↑23 May 2020, 5:15pmI'd heard it years ago ( but after "Armagideon Time", so I was pretty surprised) , not sure who's version (not Dylan) so I knew Joe had copped that line.

There's a tiny, tiny hopeful part of me that says you guys are running a Kaufmanesque long con on the board

Re: What Are you Listening to Right Now?
It's on Dylan's "Self Portrait" from 1970. But Joe is just as likely to have heard it by someone like The Kingston Trio or any other number of cover versions.Olaf wrote: ↑23 May 2020, 9:34amWritten by Paul Clayton.
