My first blog - and I'll tell you a few things about myself. I am a poet, a galactocemic vegetarian, a music-lover.....
Complaint of the night: a message to The Who - Roger and Pete - Please retire, act with some dignity, I can't stand these embarrassing 'comebacks' anymore! I've been a Who fan since I was ten (I'm (gasp) 38 now) and it's all too much. Surely John Entwistle's death should have been a message to you both to quit dragging your bodies around - but no, we HAVE to hear Tommy yet again... The re-release of Tommy has to be a candidate for 'Pointless CD re-release of the year', along with the 'Let It Be...Naked' thing. Please, guys. Pack it in.
Just for the record, here are a few of my favourite albums of all time. No particular order - they're all wonderful:
Hard Days Night - The Beatles
From Gardens Where We Feel Secure - Virginia Astley
Automatic For The People - REM
Grace - Jeff Buckley
Blue Afternoon - Tim Buckley
Bryter Layter - Nick Drake
Heart Food - Judee Sill
Another Music in a Different Kitchen - Buzzcocks
Gonna Take a Miracle - Laura Nyro and Labelle
Odds & Sods - The Who
Wish You Were Here - Pink Floyd
Unhalfbricking - Fairport Convention
Kozmic Blues - Janis Joplin
Velvet Underground and Nico
Janis Ian (1967 debut)
I think that's enough for you to chew on for the moment! Wait till I get on to favourite individual pieces of music - then you'll be REALLY knackered. Biceps for now.
