hehe, change the thread to Charlton related! it was the Matthew Bourne's Nutcracker! that I went to see last night. Anyone tempted by seeing a ballet, with a modern slant, then go see it. was awesome. in fact, wife's anniversary fella - get her a ticket to see it tomorrow - Bromley Churchill Theatre!
after you've sorted your garden, take her there in the evening!
Sorry Da_9 !! must be my green eyes. London Orish the Pogues.Lots of songs about London in their albums. Only 1 or 2 rebelish. Saw them with Elvis in the mid 80z at The Claraden Club on St Pats Day. Was The Costelo Elvis not The King !
Da_9 know your a 60z man but have you got any Doctor FeelGood ? the Dogsbolloxx stuff that is.
To my lasting shame i had tickets to see the great Chuck Berry at The Town and Country Club but blew it out for some upper class birds party !She wasnt worth it.

More 50's fella, the King, Rockabilly, Eddie Cochran, Gene Vincent, you missed Chuck Berry...legend.
[cite]Posted By: Algarveaddick[/cite]Vince Vincent and the Villains - Gospel Bomb. A mate got it for me 'cos he heard they were Rockabilly, which they ain't, but you can hear the influence. A bit like Morrissey but more cheerful...
I'm sure you'd like " A date with Elvis" by The Cramps....
Yes, I have got that Gump, but my favourite is their first album, "Songs the Lord Taught Us". Great stuff!

Great Rockabilly compilation I can recommend DA9 - "Great Rockabilly - just about as good as it gets" released by a Dutch label called Smith & Co - SCCD 1125. I got it in HMV last year, I have a lot of the tracks on various other LPs and CDs, but it's brilliant having them all together on two CDs..
Foy Vance's brilliant album 'Hope', the first 8 tracks of which are up there with Lewis Taylor's Taylor's first for majesty. He's what Van Morrison would have been if he hadn't got so lazy and complacent.
Jamie Liddell's new one, "Jim". Not as electronic as the last one, but really soulful.
I have no idea why, but the new ABC album. Probably just because it's funny.
And Stevie Wonder doing the original "Sunny" cos I have to learn it for a gig, and found myself unforgiveably thinking "well it's good, but is it as good as Boney M's?".... quick self-administered slap followed.
Just a thought. Chris Powell told me a few years ago that he was an enthusiastic drummer. It's probably too late for a Reidy/Sir Chris/JVL power trio isn't it?
Oggy Red Was at the Fairies gig at the Black Prince too. Did you know that their roadie Dave 'Boss' Goodman was either the engineer or producer of the first Sex Pistols single (perhaps the one done for the record company, who promptly sacked 'em). There is a good case to be made that the Fairies were the fathers of Punk, at that Black Prince gig I distinctly remember Larry Wallis riffing loudly on his low e-string, pointing at what he was doing and yelling 'you too can play the guitar'. Echoes of here are three chords, now form a band. The Fairies were plenty rough round the edges, but I loved 'em, not least because the were gigging every weekend somewhere in London...those were the days. This week I have mainly been listening to Joe Bonamassa
This week I have been mostly surfing youtube for random stuff, but in particular: -
"Ballad of a Thin Man" - Bob Dylan - because I think they're out to get me.
"Like a Rolling Stone" live at Newcastle 1966 - a performance of stoned magnificence by his Bobness. Methamphetymine rocks (apparently)
"We're gonna change the world" - Matt Monro - because the cack you resented your parents for liking, later in life evokes warm memories of said parents (albeit they're not dead yet!!)
Stuart Maconie's Freakzone - Post Punk Special on 6 Music
Still available on BBC iPlayer for a few more days - for those of you with fond memories of The Slits, The Raincoats, Young Marble Giants, Kleenex, PiL etc.
THis week i have been mostly listening too Kasabians West ryder Pauper Lunatic Asylum, the more i listen to it the better it gets. Most awesomest album for so far, and that says something compared to the last 2 Kasabian albums, but what gets me is how different all 3 are. This latest is amazing tho, loving all the tunes on it, cant decide between about 5 of em which is my fave!! I will go for take aim just pipping Where has all the love gone, and underdog, all top top toons.
Well done Kasabian for making 3 top, but very different sounding albums.
