Turd in the punchbowl alert! *makes fart noise*
And that concludes my immature fun for today!
Sorry, I was having a bad afternoon. Didn't mean to spoil the party. To get things back on track:
You know who drives me up the wall? The Grateful Dead. Oh, how I hate them, and all the horrible jam band wank-fests that they've spawned over the years.
Is that better?
ROTFLMAO + a very wholehearted 2!
I went to Humboldt State University in Northern California. I was surrounded by it every day of my first year there in the HSU dorms.... it drove me absolutely insane. I couldn't understand how there was this whole entire movement of mysticism around this "wank-fest"...LOL!

I agree 500% on the Grateful Dead...... I quite simply abhor their music.....
I tried to listen.....for years...... But I have to say, I think they suck.....
............and that hideous Phish band as well......

That's an old Chinn/Chapman song. It was originally done by the group "Racey".
But they were all guys and the song was called "Kitty".
And no cheerleaders.
It sucked even then........

There is a song by Jefferson Starship called "Planes".
It makes me pray for nuclear winter!
If you ever see the video, you will laugh your ass off!

Racey were from Weston-Super-Mare a small seaside town where I was working in a bank at the time of their short-lived fame.. They had 2 hits "Lay Your Love On Me" & "Some Girls" ("Some girls will, some girls won't, some girls need a lot of loving and some girls don't" sheer poetry). It is VERY worrying that you know about their B-sides....they are definitely best forgotten.

I think I have at least one copy of everything that Chinn & Chapman worked on.
I'm a big fan of all that RAK stuff. Especially Smokie, Mud, & The Sweet.
I actually have a CD of Racey with like 20 songs on it!
I've been to Weston-super-Mare. On one of my many jaunts to England.

The Sweet! Desolation Boulevard was one of my first favorite albums. I'll take a three minute power pop song over a 25-minute meandering jam (with or without the eight-minute drum solo) any day of the week.
What's RAK?

RAK was the record label and I'm with you all the way on 3-minute pop songs.
Mud played the end-of-term dance at University....they were awesome. Smokie were pretty good too and Sweet made some classic tracks.
So Ritchie....got any New World?? Australian acoustic trio with afros.

I don't have anything by them. But, I think they did the original "Living Next Door To Alice" recording... I've never heard it or even seen anything by them.
Speaking of RAK. Up until a few years ago, there was a local studio here called Luna. It was run by a guy who was under contract to Mickie Most & RAK as a studio guitarist back in the 1970's
I did a bunch of stuff out there. Most memorable was remixing and remastering a solo CD by Terry Furlong from the Grass Roots.

Yes I think they did do "Alice" also "Sister Jane" & "Tom Tom Turnaround"and a version of "Rose Garden".....pretty much forgotten now, but not unpleasant, Amazon UK offers a greatest hits album, with the afros intact on the cover....ah the memories. Anyway enough hi-jacking......songs we can't stand....
