So, what have you been listening to lately?

Hey, that's Carla Bley, right? I knew she was with Jack for a while, but I had only seen pictures, never a live recording vid. She plays a lot more conventional than I would have expected!

It's either Carla Bley or Cousin Itt from the Addams Family.

Dave, that is no way to comment on a lady, go wash your nasty mouth with soap - now!

Carla - like Patti Smith - defied female conventions, but was hot.



She and Steve Swallow are still an item - nice way to get old with each other.





I like the way he solos. And her piano playing too. Quirky, but not heartless.

PS: Admittedly, there are slight similarities ...

Punky's music has somewhat changed, but hey I like it!

Well, that makes one of us!

It's a little cringy!

Yep. That's Cousin Itt, all right. 

Carla Bley is talented, no doubt about. Hot? Not.

Between us two, I'm just the one attracted to the more cerebral things, Dave, it shows in pretty much everything.

Since when was cringe anathema to Angel? 



Or as Bill Nelson of Be-Bop Deluxe after supporting Angel in the States once quipped: "Five people, all exactly dressed up like Freddie Mercury!" 

The new album is a pleasant listen though - thankfully, they are one American heavy rock band for once where you hear more of a  Deep Purple  than a Led Zep influence:



Seeing them today, they are more Spinal Tap'ish than ever and Punky must have spent all his royalties on cosmetic surgery - though it must have been a budget offer!

[uwe]

I'm not a Floyd diehard and Roger Waters sure can be a handful, but those versions have something in their starkness. When he sings them, I listen to the lyrics, when Gilmour sings them (no doubt the better singer), I just listen to the  melody.

Rick Springfield aka "Paul Ramone" (geddit?) pretending incognito he came from Liverpool and not Australia. Together with the Bissonette Brothers alias "Scotty & Skippy Skuffleton" ...

G'ah! My ears!

WTAF happened to that band?! 

[uwe]

Somehow it has escaped me until now that Kenny Aaronson played with Dickey Betts!



I always had him jotted down with Dust, Derringer, Billy Idol, Billy Squier and Bob Dylan. Great expressive player and a hoot to watch.

Such a great band with a one-of-a-kind sound.

Awesome, Aaronson kicks butt!

"Jessica" is always associated with Top Gear (which Frank and I dearly love!)
