Quotes & Lyrics To Live By.......
......meanwhile back in 1985 that reminds of a daft safety comercial that ran something like "think once, think twice....think BIKE" good job you didn't have those leg protectors that the government wanted bikers to have to f…

Later with Jools Holland - BBC2(HD) - 1 Oct 2013
Alison's not the person who is desperate to receive attention and she's a bit shy, she also admitted it, but i don't think it's necessary to show themselves like monsters on stage to get some attention, she has a great voice and …

I guess there is a contingent that likes to see women play right to camera desperate for attention, like bad soap opera actors. I suppose it comes down to a matter of taste. that's not what I meant.... I think her shyness makes her seem…

I thought the poor little creature looked nervy as hell! She doesn't do herself any favours by hiding in the shadows and ignoring her audience like that either... the other acts may be crap but at least they had some kind of stage presence, an…

too bad I only get bbc1 and 2 here I'd have liked to see the Badalamenti bbc 1 is a waste of time unless you like cooking and bbc 2 has deteriorated beyond belief? Still it's fun to watch the UK falling into oblivion from a safe distance …

Later/Jools (Pixies + Chvrches tonight)
At least Keef's teef haven't aged... The opening riff on Honky Tonk Women is brilliant.... ha ha I first heard it on a juke box in a cafe on the Isle of White 1970. Fantastic, they had their moments

I am not borrowing anything from a 'Native American' - that name is distasteful to many it is applied to. " none of the names you call us are names we call ourselves" he, not his uncle said that....but yes I'm guilty of ca…

not guitars as such but there's a certain kind of band that's best left to those under 30, right. and the Pixies are one of 'em if you've got a double chin and no hair - because you're bald not because you shaved it off - t…

I wouldn't disagree with you PonyGurl. I think she's doing what she wants to do and it's clear that the subject matter moves her. There's a kind of intended integrity at work on the album too, although , here the operative word …

I can't say I was impressed by 'owt on Jools. Only thing that made me smile was the ADD woman doing tha Sly Stone take .... Trouble with Jools is it's always worn out old guitar bands. It's a bit like the weird feeling you get…

Truth is a diffucult one. I don't believe there can be much of a case made for 'truth' existing, except in maybe a personal context, and perhaps with regard to some scientific proofs (maybe). And, considering she's singing with …

I'm not sure what to think of old Jools show I do watch the show, though most of the time it's boring white guitar band stuff. Occasionally he does have more interesting things on.... Sea Sick Steve, Grimes, and Guramul stand out. I sort …

I have always quite liked Jimi and I realise I am probably the minority here. Electric Ladyland is a great record 1983 wonderful strange he's so overlooked these days .

Which albums, upon release, disappointed you?
Kraftwerk - Electric Café yep I tried to like it but it's not good. For me it was all over after TEE; Although for a while Computer World AND Tour de France sort of capture me, but the sound is all wrong..too clean These days I play R…

Sartori I may be right, but equally you're not wrong in matters of perception there can be no right or wrong - just difference I think you made interesting and valid points, and I certainly don't think my ideas are right and yours are wro…

Ah! lets see..... I don't necessarily think it has too much, or so much, to do with personal taste. Long ago I figured out how to accomodate appreciating an artist even if I hated their work ... can't stand Picasso, but you just have to ac…

As a reflective point , you did that film as it was what you wanted to do artistically at the time ? I`m trying not to put words into Al and Wills mouths but I`d say they are doing that , its only with hindsight that one can throw it in a box . I`…

Hmm interesting quote Sartori I never considered OMD to be a purely electronic band, they certainly got thrown in that category, but despite telling Kraftwerk that " tomorrow we throw out our guitars and will only play synthesisers" they…

And as an English person living abroad, because I simply can't afford to live and make art in the UK any longer, I'm in a good position to say life in the UK is bloody hard and very expensive, with most people working stupidly hard and lon…

Oh and Whisperit I'm not saying old Vincent was indifferent to money - those new fangled paints in tubes weren't cheap, but in the letter he only states he needs money to make work, not works to make money. No way am I against money, of co…

It's funny that some seem to think my arguments stem from me having something personal against the group. I don't. Why would I? I don't know them so.... And it's equally odd that some seem to think I'm being a bit bitter tow…

Actually over the years I've always championed Ooh La La as being one of the best pop record ever made, and to me there was no loss of integrity then.It felt that they were still doing what they wanted to do at the time, and they were lucky it …

I do think they sold out, even back in supernature days they were letting the likes of ooh la la be used for tv commercials. That feels like selling out to me.It doesn't matter whether head first was rubbish or not by Alison's own admissio…
