'Notebooks out, plagiarists!' "A host of balding, bespectacled, slightly confused looking gentlemen milling about, peering vaguely at prices for exotic sounding ales that look more like Stock Exchange commodities tells me I'm in the right place" #MDANT
Beat me to it!
In Major keys ๐
Worst Pub Quiz Ever!
I'd be happy with cold.blow.lane ๐
You in another decade.
Big 80's hair, Priory Gardens, Orpington. Photo by Mrs S.
80's attitude/drunk. Interesting t-shirt
Edumacated guess! ๐
'CiCi & The Laser Nips'
Got a (nipple) ring to it! ๐
I think they froze their arses off driving around London in that open topped jeep thing. None of the band enjoyed the shoot, from what I've read.
I reckon the budget for the whole shebang may even have run to as much as ยฃ50...๐ค
#FallFriday
A song released at a time when another US prez decided to dip his toes in the Gulf, replacing one regime with another. Expect similar death & destruction here.
"This is the spring without end
This is the summer of malcontent
This is the winter of your mind..."
youtu.be/dPEyswZ1cCI?...
"Have I ever been experienced? Well...I have!"
๐ค
Actually, Pepper Pig and family might not be the best look...๐ฌ
Just packed our own, far less colourful, luggage before recommencing our Cathedrals of Britain check list which, like your French Revolutionary Calendar, is reaching the halftime Bovril break.
๐ค
I'll check with Mrs S to see if we can't brighten our dull luggage up with some stickers or the like.
#PavementThursday
"So much for destiny
A pin prick on my knee
The frost you paint across our dead affair
I sensed the toxic aura
From the second we touched..."
youtu.be/jtZrRnRVpnU?...
Pretty sure I just saw Del Boy, Rodney and Boycie avoiding alligators on an airboat at the end of our garden...
Pretty horrible interpretation of Bowie/Ziggy, btw ๐ฌ
The opening five words could've been history before the ink dried. Who knew what or who Dame David would be turning up as next?!
Two more before she (sensibly, imho) called it a day:
14.5.99 Forum, Kentish Town + 1.7.07 The Ritz, Manchester
Hmmm ๐ค
It was about this time of day, 48yrs ago today, that my next door neighbour arrived at our front door with my little sister in floods of tears, to tell me that my dad had suffered a fatal heart attack.
Off to raise a drink or two to him...
It was Mrs S's first ever Fall gig, too! ๐
Imagine her with a face like this ๐ฒ๐ฒ๐ฒ๐ฒ๐ฒ and you'll be close.
She was petrified!
Never seen a more terrified drummer as the 1st night at Dingwalls after the Brownies debacle. Proper 'rabbit in headlights' stuff. Her eyes were wider than her head!
Works, too ๐
Before the pictures loaded on my phone, I saw the words 'I think I need a lie down' and 'gullwing'.
I just *knew* it was going to be a Merc! ๐
I don't. I let Mrs S take the knuckle grazing bullet on behalf of the Slaughters ๐
Bert & Ernie's (g)Love child? ๐ค
Was introduced to the, frankly, insane world of Hasil Adkins in 1975 by an older friend with a rockabilly mad brother.
When it came to it, The Cramps were absolutely no shock to me. I knew *exactly* where they were coming from and jumped right in ๐
Love your choices, but make sure you pick me up on the way through to The Silver Jews! ๐๐
