The drummer from the Happy Mondays?

in the Gary Whelan tweet Brown is replying to he shockingly trashes The Mondays rep "NONE OF THE happy Mondays lived or grew up on council estate"

Ian B might want to do some deeper research into how Jah feels about rich white men from England

lol

who's gonna tell him about eclipses

or night

More than one Gaz, it seems!

7th March 2020 continues to not have been in August 2020 ftr

also I'm not sure anyone was really looking to the drummer from the Happy Mondays for coherent advice on anything

Rock n Roll was created to avenge the Jazz Musicians technique...i good thing for basic musicians like myself. BUT the grand irony is that those old jazz musicians were far more Rcok n Roll than the rockers..far far more..

Evan Parker goes in deeper in a new interview:

Already boasting full cred as crazy old jazz geezer, is Evan Parker now trying too hard?@Jazzwise pic.twitter.com/ILyHUZimZ4

Man, that's just sad.

Genuinely wondering if this is related to early onset dementia or something.

oof

Genuinely wondering if this is related to early onset dementia or something.

The most successful covidiot 'documentary' in France peddles exactly this bunk, so it's more common than you'd think, alas.

I've told the story on here before about a friend of a friend of mine who believes this exact thing, that it's all about de-population.

In fact, even the Daily Star is writing about it.

https://www.dailystar.co.uk/news/weird-news/mysterious-monument-calls-billions-die-21872605

It's all just a Thanos meme.

Now I'm picturing Evan Parker eagerly awaiting the Star plopping onto his doormat of a morning.

If the vaccine is "a piece of software", that means that we are... pieces of hardware!1!

I wonder what Evan would think of the new conspiracy theory I've come up with that circular breathing can lead to permanent brian damage.

RIP brian

Brian "Damage" Parker

Hmm… I think it's missing a shadowy cabal or two. Perhaps some triple parentheses as well?

i wonder what all these suckers will say once they realize you can stream spotify directly through your vaccine microchip

any musician who is speaking out against the COVID vaccine or calling COVID a hoax should only be allowed to record David Hasslehoff covers going forward

ngl, I'd love to hear Evan Parker cover 'Hooked on a Feeling'.

I googled

"evan parker" "david hasselhoff"

and the first result I got was 'Photos taken of famous people together that you would never have expected to be together but make you happy all the same.' Too bad they're not actually in the same pic.

Brian Damage. There must have been a punk musician called that somewhere some time.

t it's all about de-population.

it hasn't been very efficient, has it? while the death toll has been truly awful, it is only 0.003% (approx) of the global population.

That’s just the prelude, you see. The vaccination campaign is what will wipe us all out. *taps forehead*

The book I've been reading to my kid has a bad guy character named Dane Brammage.

One of Dave Grohl's pre Nirvana gigs was drummer for Dain Bramage.

right! i guess i'm not long for this world now....

There are a couple of Disco related Brian Damage's.

no apostrophe required!

One of Alexei Sayle's characters in the Young Ones was called Brian Damage.

I once knew a person named Damian Brage

And if your head explodes with dark forebodings too…

According to the erstwhile AinNYC one was in the Misfits at one point.

Brian “Damage” Forsythe is the guitarist from Kix.

some esoteric cover art for you to decipher:

I'd actually like to hear that album — Alexander Hawkins on piano, John Edwards on bass, Paul Lytton on drums — and obviously the music (which was recorded in 2019) won't reflect any of Parker's views, even though the track titles are apparently all taken from Daniel Defoe's Journal of the Plague Year. But nope.

More info here.

Not Big Boi :(

It wasn't straight covidiocy, I think it was more pseudo-Trumpist "stop the steal" disinfo or something but the one that hit me in the gut was Nightmares on Wax.

It was in a tweet sometime mid-last year -- I can't find a link now, I assume it's been deleted.

Oh the humanity

Nena has now gone over fully to the dark side, supporting the German anti-lockdown, coronavirus-skeptic 'Querdenker' movement and endorsing music by conspiracy theorist Xavier Naidoo.

That is 99 Luftballons Nena right?

Yup, that's the one. Nena had dropped hints before about her coronavirus skepticism, but this is much more clearcut.

99 Red Bull loons

...actually that doesn't work in context but I like it, so in it stays

Thanks for the heads up on the new Parker record, unperson. Sprang for that one immediately, not going to let his obnoxious views get between me and the music.

Is there a non-music version of this thread?

As we approach the covid singularity we find that Ian Brown and Ben Garrisson are in fact the same entity

my May tour of Ireland is cancelled as both our islands are currently medical experimental prison camps and we are being held hostage by GOVT for big pharma
