Rat Scabies and Jah Wobble on a Floyd tribute?!  :o

Yes my brethren, the culture wars have finally ended. Jake, you can take off your helmet and surrender your arms now.


What?  Goddammit!  No, I refuse like a Frenchman.... but with principle (other than the principle of just always refusing).  I actually had a brief moment in high school where I toyed with the idea of being into Pink Floyd.  There were some elements that spoke to me.... but then I met their other fans.  I mean, I'd expect this from Scabies (he was always a lovable lump - not the most intellectual of punks, it's why he lasted so long in The Damned and had all those side hustles, which is why Uwe loves him... and Steve Jones), but Wobble?  To be seen on the same record with Satriani?  The shame.  Lydon called him up specifically to tease the shit out of him for that alone.  Keith Levine rushed over to stage an intervention.

It must be somewhat serendipitous that I was listening to some Anagram last  night, and thought to myself - I wonder what Uwe would have to say about this one:



(sorry there is a youtube vid but the bass isn't audible enough)
Robert Plant and Jimmy Page (drummer and bassist of Deep Purple, Jake!)

Do they call them 'grunge' in the article just because they were based in Seatle in the 90s?  Cuz they are textbook 1st wave hardcore and about the correct age for it.

No, they were never considered grunge. They were called a punk band at the time.

The article you linked calls them 'grunge' (or rather the video embedded in the article).

What a glorious day! Finally -after 19 years- a new Del Amitri album!

Well, it's in Rolling Stone, so it must be true.  :mrgreen:

Now Edith wants a divorce.  :rimshot:

I made the mistake of listening to Return to Forever REAL LOUD!  :mrgreen:



There is nothing like testosterone-charged heavy metal jazz.  8)  Chick Corea, Lenny White, Al Di Meola and Stanley Clarke are marriage-disruptive.

Listening to it just now. You do realize that it's girls' Emo rock, Rob, right?  8)


PS: I'm probably not the first to observe this, but they do like REM a lot, don't they?

Adam Driver and Marion Cotillard in a movie together - with Sparks doing the soundtrack? Sounds interesting.  :popcorn:

Yeah isn't it cool!

REM could only dream of a songwriter like Justin Currie.
Awful band.

I have no idea who they are. Never heard the name before.

Good heavens, there is more power and vitality in that voice then any half-dozen lesser singers put together.

What a powerhouse of a singer!  I've always been blown away by his voice.

I've seen good ole Tom twice in recent years - they were really good nights out. It's not like he has totally dumped all Las Vegas'isms from his performance, but they are subdued nowadays and only occasionally presented (with a twinkle in the eye). The band is top notch and so is his voice. And he really seems to enjoy playing with people that could be his grandchildren. His more recent albums are all well worth a listen too.

My mom loved him, so I grew up hearing plenty in the 70s (on Parrot Records). What a voice! Cool guy too. I don't seem to recall any scandals involving him in all these years.
