By the way, that ovation for Gordie was awesome. He never should have left Detroit. One of the many reasons to have "issues" with the Norris family.

The world is full of weird connections.

Our hobby band decided to give Elvis Costello and the Attractions' "Pump It Up" a try. If you know the song you will know that what makes this song is the bass line played by Bruce Thomas of the Attractions. The last week or so I worked on learning the bass line, because I want to learn how to play it and also to help our bass player. I also did some Google searches about Bruce Thomas, one thing I was looking to find out is whether he plays bass with his fingers or with a pick. And that's when I found out this weird connection that ties back to Jimi's post that started this thread:

Bruce Thomas is into martial arts and wrote a biography on Bruce Lee

Today's album is Wire's Pink Flag. Here is one of my favorite songs from that album, "1 2 X U"...

FdNS4g8vOnc

Also, it occurs to me that I never posted a video for the first album in my theme, Television's Marquee Moon, so for the sake of the completist in me, here is Television's "Guiding Light"...

Zr3HfLhez6M

[aeolian]

Today's album is Wire's Pink Flag. Here is one of my favorite songs from that album, "1 2 X U"...

I got into Wire during the 80s and had 3 vinyl albums. About 12 years ago I actually paid someone to convert one of the vinyls to CD format because I could not find a CD release for it. I have to dig that CD out to give it a fresh listen.

In the 1980s I also saw Wire in concert, the one thing I really, really remember is this. There was an opening band with their full complement of instruments and a pretty standard, elaborate drumset. The opening band got done and the roadies came out to set up for Wire. They removed the full drumset and replaced it with the most minimalist drumset I've ever seen. I don't know about drumming but I think it had one tom, one snare, one cymbal and a bass drum. But when Wire came on the drummer just blew everyone away. That was a memorable concert.

[R_of_G]

I also have some Wire on vinyl still (Pink Flag, 154 and Chairs Missing). I converted them to cd when I worked at a radio station, along with a ton of my other vinyl. I like listening to it with all the pops and hisses where I remember them from when I listened to the albums every day as a teenager. I love vinyl.

I am quite jealous that you got to actually see them play. I can't even imagine how cool that was. They epitomize "more with less" for me.

[aeolian]

Wire played in a small venue. It was just an empty room with a stage which is about 1 foot off the floor. There was no seating so the crowd just stood. I remembered the crowd of maybe 150 people and I stood within 15-20 feet of the stage the whole concert. The band must have been using midi or something because I distinctly remembered that there were sounds coming from the stage even when nobody seem to be playing their instruments. They sounded amazing!

[R_of_G]

...I distinctly remembered that there were sounds coming from the stage even when nobody seem to be playing their instruments. They sounded amazing!

They were definitely always a step ahead of the game. They were what became known as "post-punk" when the first post-Pistols wave of UK punk was still going strong. It's probably why they outlasted just about all of their contemporaries. From what I've read, by the time they finished recording one album, they were already tired of playing everything on it and were gung ho to figure out another new direction for the music. Innovators for sure.

"Alternative Ulster" - Stiff Little Fingers

[Suhnton]

It's probably been a good 15 years since I last listened to SLF. I had the first album (the one with the letter of rejection from the record co. printed on the back) and I think it was The Peel Sessions. The music still holds up some 30 odd years on.

It definitely still holds up, at least musically. Some of the lyrics about "the Troubles" are a bit specific to the time period, but musically, it works as well as ever.

And speaking of things that still hold up thirty years later, here is today's video...

Henry Rollins looks quite young there. Probably also a rare occassion where he didn't bash someone in the audience :)

You mean, like this?

b4uahL_tQWc

I can't really say the fan didn't get what he deserved. You hit the singer, you can't be all that shocked when the singer hits you back, and when that singer is Henry you can consider yourself lucky to still be conscious when he's done hitting you.

[R_of_G]

And for today's video, The Adverts performing "One Chord Wonders" from their album Crossing the Red Sea With the Adverts...

I could pretty much guarantee that if I were playing out somewhere and someone in the audience threw a bottle at me (something you see in this video) I would go "Henry Rollins" on them.

Awesome Strum. Love Elvis and the B-Boys are one of my favorite groups ever. :D

For me "angry Elvis" is by far my favorite, but I can listen to most of his stuff.

If you are a fan of the two minute song, Elvis Costello ranks as one of the best.

If you don't have a CD, but are interested in hearing more- get "My Aim Is True" his debut album.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ab_IO-SlK5w&feature=PlayList&p=DE247DB2119BF70D&playnext=1&index=33

This song will automatically be followed by another song, and another, and...

[R_of_G]

A great album indeed. After that one, move on to Spike and Mighty Like a Rose. They both have Ribot all over them. :D

I can't watch it right now, but I don't need to wait to say "Excellent post"

[Suhnton]

I've never really heard much of The Jam, but that song was excellent, it's the first time I've heard it.
Speaking of Paul Weller, he used to take his kids to the gym I went to when I lived in London.

[R_of_G]

I love most of the early Jam stuff. It was classified as 'punk' but to me it seems a bit more of a natural extension of the early Who and Kinks stuff which I also love. Definitely worth checking out, especially that first album (In the City).

Simplicity, raw, and the ability to get the message across in 2.5 minutes or less. IMHO, a difficult thing to pull off.

One of the coolest Alfas ever built driven by one of the best drivers ever. Enjoy!

Here is another one. It shows the first of the two alfas I have owned. This type was my post college car. Mine looked very much like the silver one that shows up pretty soon in the vid. The cool thing about it, besides the 50/50 weight distribution and fun performance and handling, was that the tach was the only dial in front of you. The other instruments were in a dash console more in the center of the dash. Hate to be distracted from where your RPMs are. :AOK:

I saw The Damned in 2001, Captain Sensible was on guitar and Dave Vanian's wife was the bassist. Great gig, it was in a small club in London.

[R_of_G]

Today's album is The Devil Dogs' 30 Sizzling Slabs. From about the mid to late 90's on or so there began to be a revival of garage/punk bands. Not one of them comes anywhere close to the pure energy of the Devil Dogs. I was actually surprised to find there even was any Devil Dogs video so that's a bonus.
