![]() hey everybody |

![]() whoah, getting some sweet blowback from the studio monitors with the kick on this Brinkmann! |
![]() |
![]() Would "All the Young Dudes" be a proper transition from Bowie tributes to Mott tributes? |
![]() |
![]() @V Priceless, I'm helpless with Mott - my context would be Ian Hunter's 80s single "All of the Good Ones Are Taken" |

any chance to hear some faux glam from brett smiley? he died a couple days before bowie. always remember.... |

dale:
well, there you go. i will. i know 'the request' is likely a dreaded word in a deejays world. if you watch him on a british talk show it's apparent that he was too young and not prepared. www.youtube.com... |

![]() MADAME GEORGE!!! :D |
![]() |
![]() One of the all time best albums, complete w/ orig surface noise! Very ahead for '68 too, a deeply sympathetic song for a cross-dressing Irish drug dealer. |
![]() |
![]() is it just me or is the bassline of madame george similar to dream baby dream? |
![]() |
![]() Thanks for the pointer, Scott! @Dale, one of the contributing factors to that talk show appearance going south was the fact that he was supposed to lip sync to "Va Va Va Voom," but they played the backing track for "Space Ace" instead forcing him to make an unexpected adjustment to a song he hadn't been planning to perform. |
![]() |
![]() @steve: There's only so many notes, and further only so many basslines. Things often sound similar, sometimes deliberately :) But as you point out, that makes for a good transition between songs w/ similar basslines or rhythm. |
![]() |
![]() @steve, it ain't just you, friend! |
![]() |
![]() Hi Evan! |
![]() |
![]() Hi Scott! |
![]() |
![]() The "T.B. Sheets" album has a good early attempt at "Madame George", more of a soul-chorus arrangement than this one. |
![]() |
![]() Is this song really about a cross-dressing Irish drug dealer? Because if so, this is the second time in 24 hours I've heard a "classic" musician I hate doing cool subject matter on FMU. Dave Mandl played an (IMO) awful Deep Purple song last night -- but it was a song bashing Mary Whitehouse, who was basically the UK's 60s-70s version of Tipper Gore, but on steroids. I'm so conflicted. |

V Priceless:
abowie, Scott, abowie |
![]() |
![]() @Ike: Yep, check the lyrics. And Mary Whitehouse was a vigorous moralist who tried to get everything censored (including "Life of Brian"!) Good for them taking the piss outta her! But ya know, things CAN be "kinda cool", or "kinda lame", no need to feel conflicted ;) |
![]() |
![]() I agree Scott, with Van M. it's probably about that, and also "And a whole lot more!" - just like Stevie Nicks writings. They're about something, but never *just* about that, always about "a whole lot more" in addition. |
![]() |
![]() Heck yeah! Low is the super kill! |

@ dale -- thank you for that clip of Brett Smiley! had not seen it before @ efd -- thank you for remembering Brett, i had not known he had passed -- i still own and treasure my copy of "Va Va Va Voom" and had also corresponded w/Brett via MySpace and later, Facebook and i agree, we are saying goodbye to WAY to many already this year |
