I'll be 56 on July 30th, which happens to be when Deep Purple ply their trade at the Excel Arena in London. So, I've got a play-list on the PC consisting of the usual stuff - max.volume - trying to learn the words again.
I mean, Tull once this year, The Hamsters twice already - almost certainly more and Deep Purple, ain't life a bitch, still someone's got to do it.

Tull from Bournemouth on the recent tour. This is the concert which features the guy from Day-Glo Pirates. Very good he is too. Just a thought but wouldnt his more permanent presence allow IA and the boys to cover some of the material which IA's voice won"t allow them to.

Bought a cd by a band called Riverside-Second Life Syndrome,it is superb,modern prog rock would I guess cover it,for fans of Procupine Tree.But a Floyd type feel to a couple of the tracks,both over ten minutes in length. Also bought Grand Funk Railroad - Live, dated but has a certain charm.

Sountrack of a play that just closed called 'Passing Strange' by a singer/songwriter named STEW who had 3 albums under that name and 3 with his band 'The Negro Problem'...very bright guy and you can tell the songs sound the way he heard them in his head...crafty as hell the guy goes from Jackson browne to james Brown in a sentence and funny too..find 'Ken' a Negro problem song about a gay doll. drops in the last syllables ian style a lot!

This week's choices are Bert Jansch and/or Pentangle - too much great music by them to mention individually. Also Sandy Denny's "All Our Days" from the album Rendezvous which I bought yesterday in Zavvi in Plymouth for £5 ! Replaces my worn vinyl version. Are the Zavvi shops in the UK the old Virgin ones ? Anyone know ?

Listening to the Tull studio albums in alphabetical order on my mp3 thingy. A great reminder of what a diversity of musical styles Tull have pursued over the years. Currently on Stormwatch Flying Dutchman is one of all-time favs.

Had a bit of a Rush day amazing how good nearly all their albums are even the synthesizer ones. Currently listening to the original recording of Tommy by the Who. again an amazing album nearly celebrating its 40th birthday.

Hey Col, I see you're a bit of a Blackfoot fan. I am as well. Always loved that southern fried rock sound, love their Rattlesnake Rock n Roll album, Fly Away Being my favorite off that album. Here's a bit of Little Feat, always near the top of the pile... www.youtube.com/watch?v=pgmgErncC_A

Yes yes, Jonny Lang really rocks. I guess he used to be on the austrailian version of Disney's Mickey Mouse club when he was but a wee lad. Saw him play about a month or two ago. He was having a great time and man, can he wail on that guitar!

Always loved that southern fried rock sound, love their Rattlesnake Rock n Roll album, Fly Away Being my favorite off that album. yeah, big Blackfoot fan. Maybe not so much Siogo onwards but those classic four albums from Strikes through to Highway Song Live were for me the sound of a great good time rock n roll band at the top of their game. They deserved to be huge. speaking of hard rock I was having a discussion today about some daft internet poll wanting to know the best rock album of the 90's. Which is surely this right?....... Closely follwed by this? I did play them so it's not too far off topic!

Album of the moment is Consolers Of The Lonely by The Raconteurs. Fantastic album, highly recommended by moi. If you like early 70's Zeppelin style bluesy hard rock then I guarantee you will love this album.......

I'm too low tech to post links but I can tell ya:There's a Paul Revere and the Raiders Video, on You Tube, that reminded me of being about 13 years old and knowing that Rock and Roll is certain proof that i was sent to the right planet...something I doubted till being the school runt suddenly turned okay thanks to Davy Jones!...anyway, the song is ; Too Much Talk and Not Enough Action...it was the theme of a weekly northwest knockoff of American Bandstand except much cooler, called 'Happening 68'...check it out...goofy costumes aside...Paul Revere and the Raiders were pretty cool!

Paul Revere Oh My! As a kid living LA Calif there were many nights and late afternoons we would go around the block into the alley and sit next to the garage that they were practicing in, he lived on the street behind us....... Flash Back LOL

Led Zep, lots of it, 2 reasons:
(1) I like 'em. (2) The Spice Girls recently got some worthless piece of crap as an award for a comeback tour last year and they beat Led Zep, (one O2 awesome show vs. an anonymous number of crappy performances, bit like chalk and cheese), according to whoever voted for them. Strewth, I'd like to get hold of the morons who did, tie them down and play, ( at max. volume of course), Kashmir, Rock n' Roll, When The Levee Breaks, Stairway To Heaven, Whole Lotta Love..........

I started watching that award show on TV until that happened, then rapidly came to the conclusion it was not for me. Been doing the housework this morning in the company of Live - The Distance to here. Whatever happened to Live? They made a couple of great albums, got huge and then sort of disappeared.

Mock Tudor ( Richard Thompson) found its way onto my CD player last night...first as background music and then, song by song, louder and louder, I had to just listen in awe...starts a bit slow but from 'Bathsheba Smiles' ( maybe his third best song ever, after Beeswing and Vincent) to the finish line, the lyrics and lead lines grab you by the collar and shake you down....studied the liner notes and noticed, for the first time, that the album was recorded in LA with a handful of Beck's helpers from 'Odelay'......who knew?

One of the classics, Oliver Nelson, Blues and The Abstract Truth, w, to put it mildly an all star cast including Freddie Hubbard, Bill Evans, Roy Haynes, Eric Dolphy and Paul Chambers, all dealin for the common cause. Something's amiss when Joey Rockstar's passing or Ricardo Montlebon's are more inkworthy than the recent passing on New Years Eve on an actual American monster of America's first music, Freddie Hubbard, leaving this world the same night as one of the sultriest women ever born, Eartha Kitt.

Get yourself a beer, a decent Barolo or whatever is your favourite tipple and float away listening to this - Pink Floyd:On The Turning Away. Floyd, like no other band ever, have this wonderful melancholy sort of sound - brilliant
