Wow. For a second I read that as being by The Association and was trying to imagine what kind of unlikely career developments might have brought them to that point.

Doctor Casino, important war pigeon (Doctor Casino), Wednesday, 23 December 2015 16:52 (ten years ago)

Yes, Karl-Heinz Wiberny ending up in The Association is just too far-fetched.

If we're allowing music bios then there's this: Ronnie Browne's "That Guy Fae The Corries"

King of Hearts-Close, But No Guitar

"Damn the Taquitos" (C. Grisso/McCain), Thursday, 31 December 2015 10:02 (ten years ago)

Wow I think that's new & that is a new contender

It's a ways upthread, but always welcome.

is that david st. hubbins on the far right

mookieproof, Monday, 4 January 2016 21:05 (ten years ago)

I'd love to hear that album!

Anyway, it's not a three, it's a yogh. (Tom D.), Monday, 4 January 2016 21:15 (ten years ago)

till yesterday was only familiar with 'bend it', but watched some of their beat club performances which are surprisingly heavy ('loos of england' aside)... great fuzz bass. tempted to investigate further now.

no lime tangier, Monday, 4 January 2016 21:28 (ten years ago)

i unabashedly love that title, and that cover

i unabashedly love a lot of these titles and covers tbh

Less surprised by the total lack of surprises (stevie), Wednesday, 6 January 2016 11:04 (ten years ago)

Yeah they were kind of like a twee version of the early Move stuff, some great basslines and a few really killer tunes.

stupid children forever (GOTT PUNCH II HAWKWINDZ), Thursday, 7 January 2016 04:04 (ten years ago)

Also check "Zabadak!" "Hold Tight" and their goofy chart-topper "The Legend of Xanadu." This 1967 EP release also seems thread-relatable:

i'm totally into this band in theory

Amira, Queen of Creativity (upper mississippi sh@kedown), Thursday, 7 January 2016 14:34 (ten years ago)

is that lads of england or loos of england?

Less surprised by the total lack of surprises (stevie), Thursday, 7 January 2016 14:37 (ten years ago)

its loos, isn't it?

seb mooczag (NickB), Thursday, 7 January 2016 14:46 (ten years ago)

definitely "loos"

Doctor Casino, important war pigeon (Doctor Casino), Thursday, 7 January 2016 16:18 (ten years ago)

yep, for your and everyone's edification

I went and looked up the album that kicked off the whole thing - I've Got My Own Album To Do - and found the closing track was called Crotch Music. I had a listen and it's not what I expected at all, more like someone put the 70's in a blender, of if Battles collaborated with Edgar Winter.

Incidentally I heard Ronnie Wood was in an old man pub in Kildare with some hangers-on a couple of years ago and someone handed him a guitar and asked for a tune. He started singing and the barman came over and told him there was no singing allowed. "That's Ronnie Wood from the Rolling Stones, you can't tell him to shut up". "I don't care if he's Daniel O'Donnell, he can't sing in here".

xxxp holy shit that dude pioneered Gary Wilson's schtick with dumping flour over himself

(album is depressingly bad btw, at least based on the cuts i've checked out so far, "If I Were" and the single "Oh What A Thrill")

Doctor Casino, important war pigeon (Doctor Casino), Sunday, 17 January 2016 22:52 (ten years ago)

Jimmy Jones must feel that being ensconced in velvet is socially acceptable and in the 70s it probably was.

^I inherited this lp from my dad's collection. the title always made me laugh. so...straightforward.

Fernandez did a stint in Pinochet's prisons after the coup (along with many other Chilean folkies), but he made it out.

Even better that it's a bass.

I kind of want to make one called "I've Got My Own Pablum to do"

cover could use an image something like this

lolling at "i've got my own pablum to do," and the idea of freddie and the dreamers still making albums in 1978, wtf.

van damme death warrant (Doctor Casino), Wednesday, 9 March 2016 18:46 (ten years ago)

is that dreamers album real? cover's a bit offensive.

answer: it is real

okay that might be the worst song i ever heard

"Play that song again, radio

love songs like that

robbie ca$hflo (upper mississippi sh@kedown), Thursday, 10 March 2016 15:59 (ten years ago)

not from the 70s but this Soul Asylum one is pretty classic to the form
