Been listening to last two Primal Scream albums...Great stuff and the drummer worked with both Ian and and Martin on turn of the century solo projects. But explain me this: I can understand every word Bobby Gilliespe sings...but not a single word of his interviews which need subtitles.

To amuse myself, I have theme days to direct my downloads for my bike rides to work. This week has featured LSD ( Lou Reed, Stones, Dead) and PTSD ( Patti Smith, Tull, Stranglers, Dire Straits). At least I start the work day in a good mood.

I loved seeing Alice's Restaurant back in the early 70's!!! Seem's alot like these days when you read the papers... OOPS !!! Read the internet. Twas the day of Thanksgiving, when all through the house
Not a dial was stirring, not even a computer mouse
The turkey was cooking, sweet potatoes were boiling with care
In hopes that Sweetmeat soon would be there
The listeners were nestled all snug around their radios when out of the speakers at noon arose such a clatter
It was Alice’s Restaurant oh my, the gravy fell to the floor with a great splatter
When what to my wondering ears did also appear
But Adam Sandler, a KSHE tradition year after year
Happy Thanksgiving! LINK

Thanksgiving is always for Under Wraps. They worked so hard to make it perfect...especially on headphones. And then they delivered one of their mightiest tours ever...sadly, it really was 'Apogee' for Ian's voice. The day before Thanksgiving was the concert in LA when he slapped the joint out of a front row inhabitant's hand and had a major tantrum...the next day's show was cancelled and Ian's voice was never the same.

Damn fine band ACSS in my view. First got into their music around '97/'98 and used to feature them a great deal on a radio programme I hosted at the time.

Agree fully with your view Maddogfagin - they are an excellent band. Their support on the tour was the Dhol Foundation and they were worth the concert entrance fee alone. Would recommend seeing either group any time you are fortunate enough to do so.

I think Ian's said in the past that he didn't write love songs or at least he didn't write many. Totally disagree of course, in fact there's a thread and a poll about that very subjective hereThere are plenty of great Scottish singers and beautiful Scottish ballads. I sometimes find myself linking the lyrics to a Tull song. This video and song reminds me of the lyrics of Fire At Midnight. The house in the valley. Maybe the woman in the house left the man with the gun under his bed and sailed away into this lovely song? If I Was A Blackbird"Oh, if I was a blackbird could whistle and sing, I'd follow the vessel my true love sails in, And in the top riggin' I would there build my nest, And I'd flutter my wings o'er her lilly white breast"

This is very surprising to read. Did they really work so hard to make it perfect? Was it a mighty tour? I saw the show at the Philadelphia Spectrum. I was very excited for the night of the concert. I was very disappointed in the setlist, the audience didn't respond well to the new songs. The opening "unwrapping" of the show was very cool. But, the songs didn't seem up to snuff and it somehow impacted the entire show.

I'll watch the rest later when I've got the Grandchildren packed off to school
