Bob Marley nicked Buffalo Soldier off the Banana Splits theme tune.

 

If you don't believe me, going & fucking listen to them.

[TheHowieLama]

Ay yay yay.

[cloggypop]

I've always been convinced that The Stone Roses nicked Fool's Gold off Sesame Street.

I think he wants you to bum him.

 

Just listened to the Get Smart theme, that's a belter of a spot. Repped.

Could have sworn that there's already a thread about cover versions which a better than the original songs (but couldn't find it, sorry), but you've got to check and compare these...

 

Firstly, the original by Berlin...

 

 

Fucking hell, how shit was that ?!

 

Next, the cover version by Nathaniel Merriweather's Lovage...

 

 

Fucking hell, how good is that ?! Is it even the same song ?

 

Best album I've heard in a very long time, thanks to Setreal for the heads up.

Lovage is brilliant. Patton on form again on 'Sex-I'm A' is a highlight for me.

 

I'm currently having my ears graced by Uncle Acid & The Deadbeats,

Que ?

 

Who?

[General Dryness]

While we're posting film scores, this one. Love it.

 

[General Dryness]

Which, similarly, is why I also love these guys.

Getting back in to Steely Dan myself after a sometime, especially Hey Nineteen off Gaucho which really makes me tap my foot. East ST Louis Toodleloo and Parkers Band from Pretzel Logic in fact nearly all from the 70s need to be given a go , super band but Only a Fool Would Say That.

[TheHowieLama]

Too lazy to dig up the music continuation thread or whatever it was called

 

The key to the Steely Dan vocal sound - Michael Mac

 

[easytoslip]

Yes sir

Frank Zappa - Roxy The Movie is out on blu ray this Friday (30th October).

 

Probably the biggest Zappa news since he died, it just came up on my Amazon recommendations so that's it pre-ordered.

 

Magic.

[Mook]

Here's the trailer...

 

[TheHowieLama]

No Village of the Sun? 

 

 

GGGAAHHH!!!!

[The Midnight Rambler]

I saw Bob Dylan last night, still the coolest cat on planet earth.

[Carvalho Diablo]

I went up to Carcass on their Deathcrusher tour the other night, fucking phenomenal gig.

 

Missed Herod and Voivod because we were in the pub, but got there to see Napalm Death, Obituary and Carcass each tear shit right up.

 

 

Obituary especially, fucking hell, pints were shaking at the bar and beer was literally jumping out of the glass.

I can't cope with music that loud these days. Too many nights in too many clubs during "me yoot" standing next to stupidly loud stacks and DJing with my headphones too loud. I'm not as bad as my mate Al, though. DJing has totally fucked his ears. He gets bad tinnitus now as a result of all that loud music way back when.

A great year for music, some great album inc Rain Dogs, Rum Sodomy and the Lash, This is the Sea.

 

50 albums released in 1985 that still sound great.

Any Fairport Convention fans on here? I heard a song of theirs on the radio yesterday and really liked it. Any good albums (Sandy Denny era) to get started with?

 

Edit - just checked and she only made three albums with them, I'll check some stuff out online.

[TheHowieLama]

The stuff with Thompson before the crash.
