Musicological banter

And yes Jason Falkner being there was a bit of one of these things doesn’t seem like the others.  I guess at this point when he’s not touring with Beck he’s a LA session musician, but I have to wonder if he isn’t working with Dave’s daughter Violet in the studio… really wish he do more solo albums, but maybe it’s not worth the hassle of releasing and promoting them at this point

Jason is also touring with St. Vincent at the moment

Cool shot I never knew existed

Sid Vicious performing with Nancy Spungen and Mick Jones of The Clash at Max's Kansas City in New York City on September 7, 1978

although I'm glad we can't hear it…

also Nancy Date of death: October 12, 1978

She looks badass in the pic


Everyone always lays it all on her…..wonder if that’s the true story

she almost looks chunky for a heroin addict too

this is actually a great book

by her mom
Read it in the late 80s, may give it another review

I worship Sid.  Always have.  Such a powerful figure of pop culture.  Thanks for this photo.  I enjoy, the stare of every aspect of it!

Senior Culture Editor, The Washington Post…and learned everything he knows from the 930 forum

In 1982, Mercyful Fate embarked on their first mini tour of Europe. The tour introduced King Diamond to the heavy metal world and launched him as an icon who has influenced countless metal fans and bands. This is where it began! The latest 7” scale ULTIMATES! King Diamond features premium paint and details, interchangeable heads and hands, his trademark crossed bones mic stand, a soft goods robe that replicates the one he wore onstage on that debut tour, and is packaged in a collector-friendly deluxe window box with a slipcase cover!

Love coming across some of these old pics that are rarely seen
not sure what their fascination was with the caped crusaders, but I suspect it had more to do with the camp aspect

you are not wrong and it was esquire, so you'd think they had a good person behind the lens

there was a funny comment "Ok, nico, we are going to do one more shot, please act as disinterested as possible"

I still think it's cool, I love that Andy is in it.  Seems somewhat rare

So, this Space Force song. Apparently, the target audience is supposed to be people who are mostly dead.

I won't post the video I saw of this as it might be a human rights violation…

Not that I would willingly go to a Ian Brown solo show, but he just did a 23 song set of solo stuff without a band backing him… so punters were paying 40 quid for badly sung karaoke..

I learned today that the Hoodoo Guru's song "Generation Gap" is actually a cover with updated lyrics of a 70s Country song sung by Jeannie C. Riley of "Harper Valley PTA" fame released on Sun Records.

This popped up on the twitter and had banter from normally silent Chris Lowe of Pet Shop Boys, a very odd cameo from him and in general for sure

The episode of Neighbours shown today in 1995 contains one of the great inexplicable soap cameos.
