Shu.Kurimu.Sensei Posted January 3, 2008 Share Posted January 3, 2008 Ey up laddie!Yes, you're completely right, that was the right name of the documentary, the title I came up with couldn't have been less accurate, sorry! The beeb has repeated it a couple of times. Could dig it out if you like, think the quality of the encoding wasn't brilliant, but better than youtube vlc vision however :))Anyone watching this documentary on Hawkwind on BBC 3 at the mo? Way before my time, but it's interesting to see these old geezers, and I lived near where they hung out for a couple of years so that was pretty funky in itself to see how it has changed since then. I remember seeing Jah Wobble walk past me across the road from Ladbroke Grove Sainsburys, I'd only seen him in a documentary a few days before, never having heard of him until then. Noticing my double take he doffed his hat, what a gent!

mockney piers Posted January 4, 2008 Author Share Posted January 4, 2008 A couple more Fiery Furnaces numbers.I love this brother and sister outfit's eccentricities. The first track is more straightforward than most of their music but has a real Zep feel in the basis and the organ, lovely. To quote Plant in that queue that time "It's a little bit Physical Graffiti". (Now I'm the git, a name-dropping one at that).Anyway....I digress.....Second one is them being curiously poppy.Duplexes of the DeadTropical Ice-land Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/304-music-room-its-fully-soundproofed/page/34/#findComment-66006 Share on other sites More sharing options...

mlteenie Posted January 4, 2008 Share Posted January 4, 2008 HNY everyone!I found myself on the net at about 7am on NYD and found this which was from the Grauniad online. Unfortunately I missed the show. P'raps youtube will still have it.This has always been my opinion (apart from the when he was a junkie at the Cream Albert Hall gig, and even that went on far too long).'Tomorrow's South Bank Show celebrates Eric Clapton. It's nothing new, the programme last broadcast a hagiography of him in 1987. He used to be called Slowhand, but perhaps he ought to be called Secondhand. The celebration of this cultural pilferer probably won't point out the level to which he can be uninspired, and objectionable.He's always been questionable company. In 1965, the Yardbirds were convinced that their third single, the groundbreaking For Your Love, would be a hit, with the potential to wow the masses. But the mix of bongos, harpsichords and tempo shifts was too much for their purist guitarist. Clapton quit.Yardbirds' drummer Jim McCarty said that "Eric had these R&B mod songs he wanted us to do. Him leaving was a relief. Eric would be sitting in the van not talking to anyone. You'd think he's so moody, he's such a pain, we're fed up with this." With that, the grumpy Clapton was free to pursue his muse.Except that it wasn't his muse. Clapton is a serial borrower. He even borrowed Jimi Hendrix's hair in 1967, perming his barnet to emulate the recently-arrived guitar hero. Most of his 1970s hits were chugging, Mogadon-paced covers: Bob Marley's I Shot The Sheriff, Dylan's Knockin' On Heaven's Door. His creativity with Cream, such as Strange Brew, were collaborations. Left to Clapton, Cream would have played half-hour versions of Robert Johnson's Crossroads. And the thrilling guitar on Layla was played by Duane Allman.When not channelling the talents of others, there's his tendency towards the lachrymose. If his song Wonderful Tonight, a tribute to his then wife Patti Boyd, articulated his true feelings, she must have been married to a man with all the complexity of a block of wood. Boyd's recent autobiography chronicles the control freakery that dominated the relationship, revealed his extra-marital affairs and his love of the bottle.More bizarre was his wearing of whites to watch cricket on TV. Pasta preceded viewing The Godfather.Another musical blub fest, Tears In Heaven, was at least written in response to what must have been a nightmare - his son Conor falling to his death from a 53rd-floor apartment in 1991.However, Clapton has no problem letting fly when he needs to get something off his chest. In 1976 - drunk and loose-lipped - he used a Birmingham concert to praise racist Tory Enoch Powell and declare that Britain was becoming a "black colony" and that he wanted "the foreigners out". (Handy that Hendrix was dead). Reports of this show led directly to the formation of Rock Against Racism. In 2004, he told Uncut mag that Powell was "outrageously brave", rather than dismiss his past comments as drunk ravings.Clapton's popularity is a mystery - there's no fire, no abandon, no musical identity. Given a platform, Clapton will either send you to sleep or offend your musical sensibilities with pap. But both of those must be better than hearing his pathetic political views.'Nuff said.

woodie Posted January 4, 2008 Share Posted January 4, 2008 We allowed to slag each others taste then?hehe gr8!just to say Clapton , a great and everythang but check out mike bloomfield from 60's. also john mayall was the breeding ground for a few of the 'great uk blues'guys. this is sweet..john mayallmike bloomfield >> mike bloomfield. more..mike..with dylanclapton had to work at what was natural for others...peter green,for example. Im too young to know was into thunderbirds..but i have a friend who was always out in london at that time.speakeasy, ufo club alla that.tol d me about a night where clapton appeared to have not shown up for a gig at speakeasy. in those days pre coatcheck, you would throw your coat on to a big pile of other coats.rummage when yu leave. Seems claptons solo was fast coming up..john mayall, the coat mountain began to stir.there was your man slowhand rubbing his eyes, natch..picking up his axe right on cue.I love you tube.

Jah Lush Posted January 4, 2008 Share Posted January 4, 2008 Nice one Mlteenie. EC is the most overrated guitarist of all time. He's OK when he plays the blues but my God he bores for England and his political rantings leave a lot to be desired.Anyway what people should know that is that Jeff Beck is greatest guitarist ever to pick up an axe apart from when Hendrix was alive obviously.

I just read that book about peter grant the zep manager. lots of jeff beck stories in there. great read actually, especially if youre interested in 60's london clubs.the gene vincent stories are killer.

mlteenie Posted January 4, 2008 Share Posted January 4, 2008 I don't know about JB going to Jazzrock HELL... depends whether you like jazz rock I s'pose. No-one can deny his ability to play a ballad, and when I go it will definitely 'Goodbye Pork Pie Hat' at the service.Birthday coming up and that book sounds great. What's it called?

woodie Posted January 4, 2008 Share Posted January 4, 2008 post a couple up? wouldnt know what to look for. Funny thing is jimmy page and beck were, are, very tight buddies.but theres a film up onn tube,of a reunion between them. clapton in there too. its billed as stairaawy to heaven (i know i know) page and beck play again together first time since yardbirds. no pont posting it but what you see is jimmy page completely in his own world playing an endless piece of crap solo and both clapton and beck being very patient waiting for thier chance to blow. ha page is oblivious and just doesnt stop. at one point beck looks at page..look says..'i solo now?' page blanks him and goes off again.its pretty funny.diabolical of course.
