Dropping some cool there.
As you can tell by my avatar I’m a massive Syd fan. All things Syd is my bag.
And being an old guy I have
a lot of the original vinyl, I’m also a second hand record dealer so I’ve picked up a nice collection over 40 years :)
I have most of the Floyd’s post Syd stuff but will always one back to those first two or three albums as they’re in a different league as are the early singles (apples and oranges, scream thy last scream, point me at the sky etc)
And Julian Cope is another subject entirely, author musician poet arch drude….the guy has it all and is a huge influence….
His biography ‘head on’ is an essential read as is his ‘modern antiquarian’ and ‘krautrock sampler’
For me his ‘fried’ and ‘Peggy suicide’ albums are next level. His wife Dorian is also extremely knowledgable about a raft of subjects. I find em both fascinating and endless sources of information. Huzzah! :)

Fun fact, I was taught saxaphone by Dick Parry

The 60s Floyd is pure gold, And my daughter is called Emily for some reason!
There was some really amazing bands cutting a whole new sound, 66 to 73 is probably the best era ever.
Im torn with the best band ever, toss up between Floyd, Hawkwind or Velvet Underground. Its a tough one!

Hi Tony

Interstellar Overdrive. This is what made me pick up the guitar when I was 17.

At the time I went to Paris with my family and bought three guitar books, one of which was a failry rare early floyd chords/lyrics book:

I've spent hours trying to work out what Syd was playing on Take up thy stethoscope and Walk, his style melted rythm and lead guitar.

Cheers

Love a bit of Floyd.

My old man has the original Gatefold Dark Side of the Moon LP. I think it's worth a couple of grand now. (Plus a Cavern Club membership card signed by John Lennon. God only knows what that's worth...)

Pretty cool cat my old man.

Thanks for the link.

Cheers. BB

As a massive Floyd fan I will give that a go- thanks👍🎸

Hope it was worth the trip to St Awful! Great venue, Eden

Yeah we have family down there so it was a nice catch up and I got to meet a friend I had only met online before so that was nice 👍

Also NiN at Eden 🥰

I saw NIN when they supported David Bowie at the SkyDome in Toronto…when they finished and Bowie came on half the audience left which was proof of who they had really come to see 😂😂
Sure enough, Bowie was rubbish, insisting on playing only his Tin Drum crap…

I bet the poor sensitive 🦊 ears were sore after that as NiN definitely are quite high on your internal "kerrang" scale I would suspect 😝

👍…it was part of a five day bender and I was somewhat off my noodle so it’s fair to say if you asked me to hum a NIN toon I might just struggle 😉

I didn't even know they were playing! Seen NIN many times and always good... Even if the venue is pants (I'm talking about the millennium dome or whatever it's called now). Pretty jealous, be a great place to see them.

It was announced Feb 14th to the mailing list and tickets went on sale the same day (and sold out 😧)

Its only cause I'm on that, that I knew about it

Only seen them 3 times in 3 decades but that one was the best sounding, the m.e.n or whatever it's called was best visually, the Apollo was most sweaty 😂

Ah no wonder I didn't hear... Pretty out of the loop with gigs these days anyway. Doesn't stop me from being jealous though! What was the set like? When I've seen them, usually a good mix of new and old. Seen them at Brixton academy a few times... Venue suits them very well.

I genuinely wish I could have gone both nights but just couldn't get down on the Friday to do it
https://www.setlist.fm/setlist/nine-inch-nails/2022/the-eden-project-st-austell-england-6bb4627e.html

Thats the set I saw/heard/felt

https://www.setlist.fm/setlist/nine-inch-nails/2022/the-eden-project-st-austell-england-63b46ef7.html

That's the Friday set

https://www.cornwalllive.com/whats-on/music-nightlife/nine-inch-nails-eden-session-7225371

That's the local nin reporter fan 😝

Not checked the Friday set but the one you saw is class! Dang, miss going festivals. Getting the Glasto envy as the weather looks good and the lineup is great. Don't miss wet glasto's, but always get FOMO whenever it's on and I'm not going...

Glasto 2004 was the last time I made it, I sulk every year now instead 🤣

Almost exactly the same here! 2003 was my last jaunt, and the first one with the mega-fence and one that I used a ticket to get in...

He was at jimi Hendrix Isle of Wight,
Jimi sees him ( the cat with silver face) its on the dvd just before foxy lady song I think,he’ll probably being tripping on acid watching jimi Hendrix, what a experience.

I saw Nik play with various bands over the years. He was a true hero of the counterculture. Sad news.

The story I heard they asked jimi Hendrix to play with them at the Isle of Wight(outside the gates,that’s where hawkwind played)but apparently he said no he was depressed,couple of weeks later jimi Hendrix was dead
A lot of people were protesting against the admission fees that’s why hawkwind played outside.
They were pretty unknown at the time
1970.

Hawkwind played outside the gates at the Isle of Wight festival, every drink was laced with acid.

The guitarist at the time (Huw Lloyd Langton RIP) had a bad trip at IOW 1970, think the band were playing in an inflatable tent that deflated in a speedy manner! Huw was so so wasted in cid, that he fled in terror and wasn’t seen for a decade! Not sure how much truth in story, but sounds about right!

He was a good front man for hawkwind, my brother was really into them he’s got everything that hawkwind brought out, a big collection.

Both Nik and Robert Calvert were equally good frontmen.
Check out the Stonehenge 1984 dvd with Nik in full body suit and obviously high as fuck. That was Alan Daveys first gig with Hawkwind too, 99% genuine Lemmy replacement, fantastic bassist Alan.

Yeah seen it fucking amazing
One of the best performances,love it.

Very saddened by this. Seen Nik many times, and he is my hero.
Music died on Thursday night :(

One of my all time favourites. I was fortunate enough to see Arthur Lee play play the album in full in Liverpool about 20 years ago. I might have been a bit stoned stood at the front

The liverpool gig was with shack yeah??
I was real lucky too and caught the forever changes tour at the 02 with half orchestra, and stripped back in king tuts and queens hall with baby lemonade, absolutely amazing gigs.

I was at the Queens Hall gig too. Kind of wish he stopped playing just a little earlier, the new songs were funny but maybe not so great. "Maybe the People" is just such a classic track.

Yes! Great recommendation.

Fantastic album one of the greats! Recently bought the Record Store Day release of unreleased tracks and outtakes 👍

If you’ve not already give Rodriguez’s Cold Fact a listen.
If you’re a fan of Love the you’ll probably like

I’ve seen the Rodriguez documentary “Sugar Man” well worth a watch if you haven’t seen it but don’t think I’ve heard the album. I will give it a listen.

His second album “Coming from Reality” doesn’t get the same praise but I’m a big fan of that too. Another one we’ll worth a little listen

A classic disc, there were significantly better albums in the 60s, but it’s top 25

I wish I was a little bit taller!

lol love this

Great read!

Very cool!

Remember seeing them a couple of times, also at Glastonbury (and maybe Reading 92?). The song I liked most by them was a cover of Public Enemy's '(She Watch) Channel Zero' if memory serves. Think I got a free 7" copy as it was given out at one of the gigs.

Could it have been Reading '94? There was a metal/rap crossover thing going on back then. I used to like messing with people on the street by cranking it up in the car stereo. "What was that? Sounds like that rapping tripe but also that head banging nonsense? I say..."

Probably looked like a right dick but hey, youth and all that...

Sorry, never saw this! I must be wrong as I only went to Reading in 92, mainly to see Public Enemy and Nirvana. Never really considered it a "festival", more of a 3 day gig. Must have been Glasto then as I went every year it was on from '85 to '96 when I decided it was no longer a fabulous freak show that they were trying to shut down every year and instead had become an "event" on the social calendar for the middle classes desperately pretending to be bohemians for a weekend and bookable only by credit card. Used to be that the police weren't even allowed on site and they buzzed us with helicopters! Changed days indeed.

Next week on "old man shouts at clouds" listen whilst old punks decry the death of "real music" and call for the death penalty for producers and artists who use auto-tune in every single feckin' one of their 'music as painting-by-number' songs...

wow now i really want a time machine. its funny their stuff sounds like it could be 2000s mash up or even today's post-rap punk revival

Ha! There was lots of stuff like this around in the early/mid nineties and beyond. Tons of great tunes in all sorts of genres fusing, boppin' and giving your noggin' a floggin'. Here's a couple more for you but there are so so many to choose from. Nothin' new under the sun children ;-)

loved senser, mummys in the back room breaking up rocks daddys in wandsworth sittin inna box

Hi Ghetto Bikes

That album really was a product of its times which is why it's such a 90s throwback.

Rap-rock was definitely enough of a thing to get named as such in Guitar Player magazine back then.

The Judgement Night oundtrack was mentionned on LB lately but one of my fave was the Dutch band Urban Dance Squad. Also Rollins Band Weight is a classic as well as ICe T's Bodycount plus a few obscure one like this one:

bigg up

This is one I still listen to quite frequently. Discovered mid nineties along with the orb and FSOL. I still don't know the individual tracks, it is to be enjoyed in full in one sitting, just tooting away I reckon. :)

Agreed, you have to listen to it all. Same with Space which is also a very enjoyable trip.

I just knew you would mention this !! There is also an Alex Paterson version out there with the Jimmy Cauty parts removed which makes it more ambient by the simple fact of having silent parts! There was also a huge limited remix of the KLF catalogue including Space (hour plus if I remember) a few years ago. This Is Not The KLF - I believe it was called. Martin somebody?

Interstellar

trainspotting

Great shout ;)

Empire Records

Tore the motherfuckin' roof off like two dogs caged

Spawn - I guess only for teenagers of the 90’s. Terrible movie, great soundtrack.

Potential for a few Tarantino options here, but I’m a big fan of this score.

*link is the cypress hill/sonic youth colab from the LP.

https://youtu.be/gyTaVL07F34

Love this one. Been in rotation for years. Not all the colabs work now but there's some bangers on there. The Teenage Fanclub & De La Soul joint is a great addition to any stoner playlist.

Get goosebumps from this one

Goodfellas when jimmys sat in the bar and he’s thinking of whacking Morrie

https://youtu.be/r48BLz42NuI

Romeo + Juliet banging soundtrack - some brilliant albums coming up here

Pulp Fiction OST. Tarantino has excellent taste!

Unreal soundtrack

Depends how the mood takes me but currently….

Trippiest soundtrack going:

https://music.youtube.com/watch?v=MVnSFj6XQZY&feature=share


For decent soundtracks, Obviously Hans Zimmer & Ludovico Einaudi

The Rushmore soundtrack is killer, so much so, my wife and I finished our marriage ceremony with the song Concrete and Clay.
https://youtu.be/fsCcijENWWo

Rocky 👊

The soundtrack from Performance made in 1970 is great. Lots of music by Ry Cooder. It involves a lot of pot smoking and a mushroom trip too. Cult movie.

https://youtu.be/UyV0oiyASkg

Digimon movie

Big Lebowski is up there

Mm bop, Hansen,
The album it’s off is a little pop jewel

fuck all you biggaz im hansen proud

😂

ok so i have 2 now :)

Absolute tune! Deffo a guilty pleasure…

Mine 100% Glenn Medeiros, Nothings gonna change my love for you, if you haven’t already watch the video lol.

I gave that album away lol

You’re winning Frizzy lol

First record I ever bought as 9 year old was T. rex ride a white swan, second was Rolf Harris !
If you want really embarrassing, first ever gig I was 15 and got asked by bunch of friends to go to a cliff richard concert, not a cliff fan but went as fancied a girl. Two songs in realised it was a religious tour, no devil woman tonite.
Still cringe at memory of everyone holding hands and singing allehluya.

I have electric 6s gay bar on vinyl, doesn't represent who I am or even my favourite genre of music, I just think it's a tune. It does raise questions when someone notices it for the 1st time, especially if they've not heard it, because I then feel the need to make them hear it and agree it's a tune

It is a great tune. Ignore the haters!

Let’s start a war!

Start a nuclear war!

I've got something to put IN YOU!

I was afraid someone would take it there

Lol, I'm surprised that I was the first! Couldn't resist, too funny

Electric 6 were good
Gay bar is a tune too but they had better tracks

Barbie girl

good one

wake up now

Wilson Phillips - Hold On

dayam

please keep this between us

Jolene - Dolly Parton. Love it.

On other end of my collection is Ready or Not, DJ Hype Remix.

I'd say my record collection is a bit "eclectic"! Haha.;)

Cheers BB

Gotta love dolly, a clever funny sexy woman.
Her blue grass albums are superb.

Jolene is never embarassing, well at 104db past a funeral precession maybe other than that Jolene is part of every good collection.

exactly why dolly has the highest q score

Lil bit ashamed to say, but that’s a fucking tune pal ! !

Big love for Hype’s remix of the Fugee’s classic ❤️

Jolene is a classic! Try play it on 33 speed sounds Evan better!

Need to try this

When I was 6 the first ever song I bought was Jimmy Somerville, mighty real. In my defence I just liked the cassette art. No excuses however when I purchased the Hamster Song. I was old enough to know better.

Doo da Dee da Dee Dee dodo, Dee da do do do! That was too catchy.

I will survive - Gloria Gaynor
Heard the line “Go, walk out the door, don’t turn around now, you’re not welcome anymore” more than a few times in my house, even the kids sing it to me !!!

Not in my collection per say but definitely listened to it more than I’d like to admit back in the day 😂 who remembers princess superstar bad babysitter😂😂😂

this is what english sci fi looks like to americans

YIP

boom boom boom boom by the vengaboys probably

Vengaboys were awesome, there's a great remix of vengabus floating around.

This?
