Hey Bill just wanted to let you know I've really been enjoying your 2012 premium. Listen to it mostly driving back and forth in a truck on the LIE. | |

Glad you like it ADM. I got a little help from a couple people here. Jeff D has an ear for some of the more exotic stuff. he turned me on to Tenores di Bitti. I think there a Sardinian vocal group. Just when you though you heard everything that come down the pike. |

Martyn:
Good to hear Ergo. Still alive I hope. | |

I saw the original Mott the Hoople and absolutely loved first two albums. But just sort of no interest after that. | |

@KP yeah, Mott the Hoople was part of our uniform when we were young teens. They were a bit tougher than Bowie relatively speaking. |

Hey jay, have some tea and stay near the radio, seems a good day for it. |

Got the mac to start! Still listening via iphone into ext speakers though. I need some Hawkwind for holiday travels. | |
|
Sat. 12/15/12 4:01am
Kp:
See to me Mott the Hoople was hard rock/psyche Dylan. Could not take the glam. Lacked the grit that got me into them. | |
|
|
♥
Sat. 12/15/12 4:01am
Bill mac:
Never heard this Hawkwind album from 1970. I gotta check my sources, but I'm pretty sure their 1st album was produced by Dick Taylor. |

Good Mornin Bill and everyone. Roxy. Hawkwind and T Rex - its a tribute to my teenage years. | |
|

♥
Sat. 12/15/12 4:04am
Bill mac:
Funny that you're talking about Mott whilst T Rex is playing. one of the things I despise about Bowie, Mott's, Lou Reed and T Rex was the Tony Visconti sax-a-mo-phone sound. I DO however like the use of the sax in the T Rex tune I just played |
|
Sat. 12/15/12 4:04am
Stanley:
Sorry that was me. Good to be back | |

The T-Rex LP is Electric Warrior |

Sat. 12/15/12 4:12am
Stanley:
Roxy Music was their first album. I think. It was ground breaking art school fun at the time. When I saw them on Top of the Pops the first time it blew me away. | |

You're right Stanley. A quick look at their website revealed my mistake. I always thought the black cover with "Do the Strand" was their 1st. |

Hey the list~! | |

Sat. 12/15/12 5:02am
Jay/London:
maybe it's because they have wings but can not fly they try and wing it KP | |
|
Sat. 12/15/12 5:03am
KP:
From Terrascope re the Keep Off the Grass album: Opening with some chiming guitar and hand drums, King Penguin sound languid and reasonably stoned on “Thoughts and Words”, the sound of a sitar giving that authentic sixties ambience, a great start. | |
|
Sat. 12/15/12 5:04am
KP:
Also wing it. | |
|
Sat. 12/15/12 5:11am

Yeah, I believe Madi requested it last week... you know me, always playing catch up @KP - Man I love this song - they touch on this song in a later song - i think Drivin Sister... oh yeah 75 year old Ian Hunter is touring.....again... |

Did you know they got the name from a book title? i was in the library and saw it on counter "Mott THe Hoople." | |

Another song similar to this is called The Journey on Brain Capers. Almost played Rock and Roll Queen. Oh yeah, I remember the book, I've forgotten the name of the author though |

I know guys who know Ian Hunter well. He's part of the Woodstock crowd. | |

He seems to do his share of shows up that way |
|
Sat. 12/15/12 5:21am

The title sort means "Mott the jerk," Mott being a guy's name. | |

Ronson was too. | |

The Escher cover on the first Mott was what my attention. | |

Thanks a lot Brian. "Reasonably stoned" sort of captures it. | |

Bill i saw a vid of the reunion concert. Buffin comes out for a song. | |

Sat. 12/15/12 5:40am
Brian in UK:
Let's face it Bill. CDs are not worth a shit for cover art. Then downloading where does that leave you. | |
|
Sat. 12/15/12 5:41am

Mp3 covers are worth even less! | |
